Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder…so while some will find her pretty some…

National Spelling Bee 2012 Scripps Competition – Oxon Hill, Maryland
“The highest-placing international speller was Gifton Wright of Spanish Town, Jamaica, who tied for fourth.”we can run…and spell!
He was so good. It was fun to watch!
And congrats to the winner Snigdha Nandipati.
It’s always a lil interesting for me… watching Indian-American kids beat the White kids at spelling English words (given the colonial history).
Nandipati became the fifth consecutive Indian-American winner and 10th in the last 14 years (via AP)
Brian Banks has rape and kidnapping convictions overturned
Ten years ago, Brian Banks was a promising high school linebacker at Long Beach Poly, hoping to play for Southern California.
Thursday, he walked out of a courtroom, his football dreams rekindled, after a Los Angeles Superior Courtjudge reversed Banks’ 2002 rape and kidnapping conviction.
“At first, my mind actually went blank,” Banks said. “I was overwhelmed and extremely happy, but at the same time, I was very sad that I had to go through what I went through.”
As a junior, Banks had played on Poly’s CIF Southern Section Division I championship team in 2001 and was looking to be a leader on the team’s defense in 2002 after spending much of his career playing behind Pago Togafu, who is now in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals.
“Brian was one of our top linebackers that year,” said Poly football coach Raul Lara. “He was a pretty good football player with good size (6-4, 225), especially for high school. I know Southern Cal had shown some interest, and the rest of what was then the Pac-10 would follow if he played well.”
This still pisses me the fuck off. The lack of Tumblr coverage is deplorable but that’s another post for another day.

“Hey Blacks, the first black congressmen were Republicans, so you should join our side after all that we’ve done for your lazy, unproductive asses. Come join us, be our pet Negroes like your brethren Herman Cain, and we’ll make fun of your dead children together forever!”
I cannot believe it and yet I can.
The level of pure cruelty, disregard, insensitivity and disrespect is astounding.
“Too soon?”
When would this ever be okay?
I cannot. I am out of can.
Wow, okay.
I’m so tired…just….so tired of the human race. The disregard for people. The callousness. The absolutely disgusting displays of hate and ignorance that I see on a regular basis. I have no rant. No yelling here. I’m just fucking tired.
You know what. I can’t…I have to leave. NOW

“Why aren’t there any black pin up girls?” With 100 rare vintage photographs all showing women of color in magazines not seen for over 50 years, the book not only reveals many answers to the question, it reveals a long gone part of America and African-American culture. …
Time and time again, we’ve seen beautiful photos of Solange spotted out at red carpet events, behind the DJ booth, and with her sister Bey … rocking a fierce natural hair do! Sometimes it’s larger than life and other times it’s a cute mini fro. What are her secrets on how she maintains her…
sooooooooo… this book exists. and i am clocking out… of life.
In case you want to buy it http://www.amazon.com/Night-Expect-Someone-Lifes-Challenges/dp/1404866795

The utter nonsense of “I hate natural Black hair and think it’s everything from ugly to CANCER, but I ain’t racist.” I just wish I had some sort of ID on that bitch so I can put her ass on the internet with a warning for all Black people to stay away from her.
