Blackout Monday 9-26-2016…

The ReadyWriter

tumblr_static_tumblr_static_dzlauu7thdwg8k840sowwskck_640Today is September 26 and it is a blackout day. It’s not a race thing. It’s a justice thing.

The call to action by the former Grays Anatomy actor Isaiah Washington came up with a powerful way to protest police brutality in this country is by urging black people to stay at home from work on today as part of a Black Lives Matter “boycott” work protest.

No School, No work, No shopping!

Of course the protest and show of solidarity has been met with criticism, since race relations and the issues with police brutality are as heated as ever, which is why such action should be taken as a tool to rally against America’s very broken system.

Isaiah Washington posted on his Facebook page:

Imagine if every single African American in the United States that was really fed up with being angry, sad and disgusted, would pick ONE DAY to simply ‘stay at home’ from every single job, work site, sports arena and government office in the United States of America. I’m very sure that within 72 hours from Wall Street to the NFL…Black Lives Would Matter. September 26, 2016 is THE DAY. #ItsTime #CanWeDoIt? #ACallToAction #StayAtHomeSeptember262016 #RIPTerenceCrutcher #HandsUpDontShoot #Missing24

So did you “BLACKOUT” today?

Another Black Man Killed in NC, yet President Obama is concerned about his Legacy?

The ReadyWriter

Police fatally shot a North Carolina man they claim was armed — but a woman who said she was his daughter cried out on Facebook Live that he didn’t have a gun, triggering riotous protests that stretched out into the streets of Charlotte during pre-dawn hours of the morning.

As always, Charlotte police said Keith Lamont, 43 posed as an imminent threat when they tried to serve him with a warrant and he exited his vehicle with a gun. Lamont’s daughter took to her Facebook page to recant the cops claims that her father was armed.

In the meantime nation of Islam leader, The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan chastised President Barack Obama for reprimanding black people about protecting his legacy.

Farakhan spoke with disdain in his voice about Obama’s self-serving speech at the Congressional Black Caucus gala, where Obama said his presidential “legacy” was in jeopardy if black people didn’t vote for Hillary Clinton.

“I just want to tell you, Mr. President, you’re from Chicago, and so am I,” said Minister Farrakhan during a service at Union Temple Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. on Sunday.

“I go out in the street with the people… I visited the worst neighborhoods… I talked to the gangs. They said, ‘you know, Farrakhan, the president ain’t never come… could you get him to come and look after us?’”

Farrakhan added:

“There’s your legacy, Mr. President… it’s in the streets with your suffering people, Mrs. President. And if you can’t go and see about them, then don’t worry about your legacy… ’cause the white people that you serve so well… they’ll preserve your legacy — the hell they will — but you didn’t earn your legacy with us!

“You didn’t earn your legacy with Black people. You fought for the rights of gay people… You fight for Israel… Your people are suffering and dying in the streets!”

Angelina Jolie Files for divorce from Brad Pitt

The ReadyWriter

brad-pitt-jennifer-aniston-550x402Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt after she caught him cheating with his sexy co-star, a well-placed source told The NY Post’s Page Six on Tuesday.

Social media is having a field day with Jennifer Aniston memes. If you recall, Angelina Jolie was the woman who came between her and Jennifer’s then-husband Brad Pitt.

Jolie and Pitt tied the knot in 2014 after 10 years together. But it’s over now.

Karma is a brew best served hot and sweet.

Another woman is the real reason behind the sensational breakup of what many considered Hollywood’s most solid marriage.

Pitt, 52, was rumored to be creeping with his co-star Marion Cotillard, 40, while filming the war drama “Allied” in London.

“She hired a private eye because she felt that he was fooling around with her on the set, and it turns out, he was,” said the source.

Angelina suspected he was cheating with his co-star because she knew how he cheated with her when she was his costar. It’s always the same story, how you get him is how you lose him.

Another UNARMED Black Man Shot? And Black People Should be Voting for Who?

The ReadyWriter

His vehicle was simply stalled on a highway in Tulsa, Oklahoma, yet all these police officers responded with their guns drawn.

Graphic video showing the shooting death of Terence Crutcher, 40, on Friday, went viral, adding the case to the list of police-involved shootings raising questions about relations between law enforcement in the United States and black men.

Police said they were responding to a call of a vehicle abandoned in the middle of the roadway. In video from officers’ dashcams and also from a helicopter, four officers are seen responding as Crutcher holds his hands up in the air and walks  away from officers, toward his stalled vehicle.

In the video taken from the helicopter, a male is heard to say, “That looks like a bad dude too. He might be on something.”

Police said Crutcher did not respond to their commands and that one officer used a stun gun on him and another shot him.

Police Chief Chuck Jordan, meeting with reporters, assured that justice would be done and called in the Justice Department before the Justice Department called him to ask for an investigation.

“I’m going to tell you right now that there was no gun on the suspect or in the suspect’s vehicle,” Jordan said. “I want to assure our community and I want to assure all of you and people  across the nation who are going to be looking at this: we will achieve justice.”

20xp-tulsa2-master768Crutcher’s twin sister, Tiffany Crutcher, said the family demands to know what happened and wants charges pressed against police officer Betty Shelby, who shot and killed Crutcher.

“We ask for facts, we ask for answers, and we clearly got it through the video and we are devastated,” she said. “The entire family is devastated.”

Tiffany Crutcher, playing on the words of the male on the video shot from the helicopter, said her brother was a good man who loved God.

HILLARY CLINTON FAINTS AT 9/11 MEMORIAL…WHAT IS GOING ON?

The ReadyWriter

Hillary Clinton’s other shoe dropped, literally, at a 9/11 memorial event in New York City on Sunday and was left on the curb.

Clinton, 69, abruptly left the September 11th Commemoration Ceremony because she was reportedly “overheated” in 82-degree weather in New York City.

Clinton rushed out of the event without informing her Secret Service agents to have her van waiting for her outside.

The Secret Service broke protocol by not having the van already there — an embarrassing humiliation for the agents.

As Clinton stood on the curb waiting, her body stiffened and she stumbled.

A Secret Service agent and 2 women — one of them her doctor Lisa R. Bardack — grabbed her and propped her up.

A second Secret Service agent observed Clinton with a worrisome look on his face.

As the first agent stepped away from her side, he broke protocol again, to open the van door.

The other agent half dragged, half carried Mrs. Clinton into the van. By now she was dead weight. A bystander’s video footage captured the pitiful scene as her feet dragged off the curb.

As the agents loaded Clinton into the van she lost one of her shoes.

Until Sunday they’d been successful in pulling the wool over the media’s eyes. Clinton’s severe coughing and choking fit last week was attributed to “allergies”.

Clinton suffered a brain injury after she fell in 2012 and developed blood clots on her brain.

Washington insiders say she has Parkinson’s disease. The coughing fits are symptoms of a disorder called Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing. The condition causes patients to accidentally aspirate their saliva.

In one of the 20,000 emails leaked by WikiLeaks, a Clinton staffer advises her about Provigil, an experimental medication used by the military to relieve Parkinson’s symptoms.

Finally on Sunday afternoon, Clinton’s doctor announced that Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia… on Friday.

Miraculously, 90 minutes after her seizure episode, Clinton emerged from her daughter’s apartment smiling and waving, as if nothing was wrong.

This is expected of someone who had recently suffered a seizure — not someone who was diagnosed with pneumonia, and 90 minutes earlier had to be carried to her van and lost a shoe.

The media, republican insiders and the internet are all abuzz that, Hilary Clinton is not fit to be president.

What do y’all think?
