Neil deGrasse Tyson With Some “Astrophysics for People in a Hurry” And A Word For Climate Science Deniers (Video)
September 1, 2017
Great talk. Plus: Neil deGrasse Tyson with the booooom statement of, like, the decade or something! To all the climate change deniers: How was it that we made all kinds of plans, and reacted with all kinds and fervor and enthusiasm, to the Eclipse [Across America] – a phenomenon predicted by science – but NOT even flinch or flitter at the very real, very scientifically-founded warnings of pending planet-wide doom due to climate change (global warming, whatever you wanna call it)? Is it because beach chairs will become useless for the beachfront after the ocean level rises? Maybe because you’ll need good galoshes to go anywhere downtown in NYC? C’mon son!
Neil deGrasse Tyson weighs in on why climate change is subject to political debate and examines the privilege of wondering about space in “Astrophysics for People in a Hurry.”

Okay, they are probably not reading this post or watching The Daily Show on Comedy Central… So if you know a denier, please share this.
(Or share with the like-minded. I don’t mind having an ‘amen corner’ on this.)

Black Love: Flex Alexander & Shanice (Video)
August 31, 2017
So adorable I can hardly stand it. Like right up there with Papoosa & Remy Ma’s tried and true lovey-dovey love. In theirs and in Flex Alexander & Shanice’s cases, I am drooling at how hot the ladies are but cannot hate on their dudes… and thus, I end up rooting for their relationships. There is hope and happiness; because there is Black Love. A couple like this proves it! Through thick and thin and thick again. Watch Flex’Nice talk about it.

David Alan Grier With ‘An Important Message About White People’ (Video)
August 28, 2017
Call Washington… Denzel Washington. Let’s get this discrimination against White people stopped. Bwaaahaaa!
Attorney General Jeff Sessions is trying to get back on Trump’s good side by directing the Justice Department to focus on the important issue of discrimination against… White people. According to the New York Times, the civil rights division of the Justice Department is planning to investigate what they call “intentional race-based discrimination in college and university admissions.†So, Grammy and Tony nominee David Alan Grier stopped by with a very important message.

Michael Moore Calls A Racist A Racist, All Of Them… And Those Who Will Not Denounce Them (Video)
August 25, 2017
Anybody who enables, anybody who votes for and supports a racist, is a racist.
– Michael Moore
The controversial filmmaker Moore has never had a problem calling it how he sees it. And in keeping with the lifted quote above, Moore is holding those who support the racist ralliers and those of their ilk – whether gathered at the Take ‘Murica Back rally in Charlottesville or not – just as guilty. Because #BlackLivesMatter or #AllLivesMatter or whatever matters to you aside, the venomous speech, vitriolic tone and victimization of those hurt by Neo-Nazi words and a wildly driven car… well, that all happened. And if you are not denouncing that, you are tacitly supporting it.

Live Footage From ‘United We Stand: Rally for Colin Kaepernick’ (Video)
August 25, 2017
When does a protest gesture become a movement? When others get involved. Rosa Parks took a stand by refusing to stand and go to the back of the bus, then boycott, then movement. Kaep took a stand by taking a knew because he felt he could no longer stand our American nightmare (injustice, police brutality) that is our current situation. You have no doubt heard talk about boycotting the NFL. Do we now have a movement?
Time will tell. But for right now, we do have a rally. Check it out.
We’re live at the NFL headquarters in NYC as demonstrators rally in support of unsigned quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Donshea Hopkins Speaks On Life Before, During, And After ‘Power’ (Video)
August 25, 2017
Hope you’ve caught up on your Showtime viewing by now. In particular, I hope you already know what happened on this past Sunday’s episode of “Power.”
****SPOILER ALERT***
Well, the ‘Big Rich Town’ is a very sad place. The violent storm has finally taken someone that EVERYONE will miss: Ghost’s beautiful baby girl is gone. Reina (played by Donshea Hopkins) has fallen. And the “Power” watchers will tune in next week for two reasons… (1) to see what that damnable brother of hers, Tariq, is gonna do and (2) to see what Ghost & Tommy are gonna do (holyyyyy sh!t)!
But don’t cry too, too much for Reina… and you should only shed tears of joy for Donshea. She has been acting practically since right after she could walk. And she has a couple of roles she might revisit (like the series that put Netflix on the map, “Orange Is The New Black”). Click play and tune into Donshea’s radio interview embedded above for the skinny on all that and more!

Ice-T’s TEDxSingSing Talk On ‘Surviving’ (Video)
August 20, 2017
Recent throwback TEDx talk from Ice T. Great insights and a very worthwhile watch. In fact, I should not have even mentioned the throwback aspect. Relevant to today. Hear some real life struggles from the former light-skinned, light-eyed little kid named Tracy who had to turn gangsta just to survive growing up.

Wow. It’s like Joe and Cyn got on lock (see them declare it during an interview here) and started the clock… or should we say “timer” since Cyn Santana has that Budden bun in the oven. Check out the lovey dovey photo shoot and featurette above.
Here’s to happiness for the two; and happiness for us, too, if Joe (or some other worthy emcee) hops on that banging azz beat playing in the video.

Conor McGregor’s Lookalike Fooled Many Fans At Times Square In NYC (Video)
August 14, 2017
Wow. Well, depending on how this ‘super fight’ turns out, this Conor lookalike could be really happy or sad with all this fanfare. Crazy the resemblance (sorta) and reactions though (definitely). Check out the clip above.
I was told on many occasions that I look very much like Conor McGregor, and, one day, I dared to baffle Los Angeles with a sudden appearance of the ‘UFC star.’ The news about Conor’s doppelganger made a lot of noise in the world of UFC and hit the headlines of major sources. So, today we are taking New York out for a spin, which turned out to be even more combustible than LA. We are big fans of Conor’s, and these pranks are dedicated to his upcoming fight with Floyd Mayweather. We wish him nothing but victory, health, and continuing domination over his rivals.
