Busted  for a Color Lie!

The former head of the Spokane, Washington Chapter of the NAACP, Rachel Dolezal has been caught pants down for claiming she is black, when actually she is white! While some people are mad at her only for the way she did it, and praised her for the great job she did at the NAACP under her fake identity, some black people can’t just take it! They are so used to being rejected and condemned by white people such that, it shocks them that a white person would really want to become black! They are so mad that she is not only stealing their black color that some white people hate so much! She is stealing their hairstyles, their men, their leadership positions in black organizations, and even their black people’s English!
I never knew black people can be this racist too, when they decry racism against them everyday! Come on! The golden rule is not an eye for an eye!

NBA Finals 2015

The Golden State Warriors are the new NBA champions! They beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 6 of the finals to capture the crown for the first time in 40 years! But that was not the only big story of this years thrilling finals! Neither was it only about Stephen Curry, the MVP of the regular season who propelled his team to victory, nor Andre Iguodala who surprisingly, and meritoriously earned the finals’ MVP Award!

There was also the story of LeBron James who accidentally flashed his precious jewels on live TV, while adjusting his shorts before the start of Game 4! This went viral on social media, and made headline news on almost every major news network!

What I find interesting about this story is the way people reacted to it! It was like they have never seen it before! Most of the people who blew up the internet either have the same jewels as LeBron, or they see it all the time! I just wonder what the loud noise was all about! More so, this could happen to anyone!

The flag of Hatred Finally Goes Down!

The Confederate Flag has finally and officially been taken down from the State Capitol in South Carolina. But it was not before a woman took matters in her own hands to do it! In the mist of loud calls nationwide for the flags to be taken down, because of the racist Charlston church massacre of nine innocent people, Brittany Newsome who couldn’t stand that symbol of hate anymore, decided to take care of business for the government by single-handedly climbing the pole and taking down the flag flying in front of the State Capitol in Columbia, South Carolina. She probably knew where she would land, directly into the waiting handcuffs of law enforcement!

Bree Newsome wanted state officials to know that, if they were confused on what to do, she knew exactly what to do!

Obama Care Prevails!!!

The Affordable Care Act, famously known as ObamaCare has survived again, this time, for good! It is now the healthcare law in America! In a 6-3 ruling, the supreme court upheld the healthcare law subsidies. Whether Republicans like it or not, they have to stop whining and swallow the bitter pill! But even though they know the fight is over, they are still rolling up their sleeves and swearing that it is not over yet! Though these Republicans have no alternative in the horizon, most of them, especially the Presidential candidates are vowing to repeal it once they take over the White House! They think Americans are way healthier with no healthcare insurance than having ObamaCare! This is just one of their great visions – No Healthcare for America!

The Clown Trump Finally Jumps into the Race!

After years of making so much empty noise by the sidelines, Donald Trump has finally jumped into the 2016 Presidential race with a never-heard-of agenda for America! He says the American dream is dead, and he’ll be the greatest jobs President God has ever created! Trump believes that it is how heavy your wallet is, that determines your qualification for president! Many Americans welcomed him into the race with open arms not only because they’d finally see jobs, but because it will make an already overcrowded, ideologically diverse Republican field comically exciting! Dr. Ben Carson is there, ready to make sure straight people come out of prison straight! It will be fascinating to see the clash of the big mouths between Governor Chris Christie and The Donnie Trump! Will Rick Perry oops!-forget something in his agenda? We can’t wait!
