In January 2009, the month that Barack Obama was inaugurated into the Presidency of what some refer to as post-racial America, a mini-series of incidences began to take place that found Walter Currie, Jr. celebrating his 16th birthday last week with a simple family dinner; life-altering second and third-degree burns covering his face, neck arms, and stomach; and an assault charge.
According to his mother, Winona Currie, in January, Walter was involved in an altercation with a fellow 15-year-old schoolmate, Billy Rasberry (who is white), after Rasberry said that
“he wished slavery days were still in effect because he would get rid of him” (Walter is Black).
Both young men were called into the office to talk about (more...)
Lionel McIntyre, an esteemed professor of architecture at Columbia University, was arrested for punching a female co-worker in the face while the two lounged at a Harlem after hours locale.
Professor McIntyre, known as "Mac" to others, was engaged in a heated debate about "white privilege" with Davis, a white woman, and another male faculty member when the situation came to a head.
"The punch was so loud, the kitchen workers in the back heard it over all the noise," said Richie Velez, who witnessed the incident. "I was on my way over when he punched Camille and she fell on top of me."
Servers at Toast, located on Broadway and 125th Street, have said that this is not the first time the professor became too rambunctious, with an instance of rowdiness having occurred not more than a couple of weeks ago.
McIntyre was released without bail during his arraignment proceeding a few nights ago.
Davis suffered a bruised ego and black eye as a result of the sucker punch.
PBS is known for its many documentaries, but February promises to be something even more special than usual as Oscar-winning Actress Halle Berry has agreed to host a documentary of monumental proportions.
Dubbed “For Love of Liberty: The Story of America's Black Patriots, the two part, four-hour documentary will give an excitingly intimate look at the lives, times, and struggles of America's Black servicemen since the genesis of our nation. Letters, speeches, diaries, and sources were used to unearth the stories of America's most brave, yet forgotten, citizens with historical accounts spanning from the Revolutionary War to the current Middle Eastern conflicts.
“Our goal is to raise public consciousness about this extraordinary and little-known aspect of our nation's history,” said Frank Martin, producer, director, and co-writer of the film.
Other stars involved in the project include Mel Gibson, Morgan Freeman, Danny Glover, Jeffrey Wright, Susan Sarandon, and John Amos.
Officer John McCalister has found himself under investigation by Oakwood after video surfaced of the off-duty officer assaulting a seemingly innocent man while both were inside a local Rite Aid.
The incident started as nothing more than a verbal altercation but quickly spiraled out of control after fists started flying. Even more disturbing, Officer McCalister is said to have had his wife and fellow police shield, wielding comrade, Tiffany McCalister to “go to the car and get the phone and get the gun,” alluding that he was about to get 48-year old Paul Watts.
Watts' response:
“I'll still kick your a*s anyway.”
Footage of the incident shows McCalister viciously punching Watts on two separate occasions, with the latter gentleman opting to not return the blows.
McCalister faces misdemeanor assault charges for instigating the entire ordeal, while his victim has not been charged. Mrs. McCalister escaped being formally charged as well, but she has been placed on administrative leave.
The mixtape circuit has been able to evolve in the progressing years of Hip-Hop where it has almost become essential for an artist to drop one before ever thinking of dropping an official album.
Think of it as being an audition for rappers to the fans to show and prove that they have what it takes to be part of the team. With such a heavy flood, however, it's hard for an artist to stand out from the rest which means they must find a means to stand out from the rest. In this case, being different does pay off.
Now backed by Jay-Z, J. Cole had to set his own foundation entering the game and no better a way than to audition with a (more...)

Rappers have been unable to outrun the long arm of the law as of late. With C-Murder, T.I. and Max B behind bars, Boosie having his sentence doubled and Lil Wayne possibly facing a year, it feels as though no artist is safe from the big house and must be weary of his/her actions.
Rapper B.G. was barely able to escape as he was arrested last Tuesday following a traffic stop when authorities found (more...)
