The Montgomery Bus Incident 60 Years Later!

Rosa Parks got on a local Montgomery Bus after a tired day. She was told to move to the back of the bus for an older white guy. She refused. The bus driver called the law. Rosa was fingerprinted, photographed and booked in the local lockup.

This sparked a movement.

The Montgomery Bus Boycott, a seminal event in the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, was a political and social protest campaign against the policy of racial segregation on the public transit system of Montgomery, Alabama. The campaign lasted from December 1, 1955—when Rosa Parks, an African American woman, was arrested for refusing to surrender her seat to a white person—to December 20, 1956, when a federal ruling, Browder v. Gayle, took effect, and led to a United States Supreme Court decision that declared the Alabama and Montgomery laws requiring segregated buses to be unconstitutional.

Many important figures in the Civil Rights Movement took part in the boycott, including Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ralph Abernathy.

Rosa was known as the mother of the modern civil rights movement.

Her act of civil disobedience became a historical feat. Her impact helped the United States become a little bit better.

Black Pastors Cancel Trump Endorsement!

Trump has a Black supporter, retired NBA player Dennis Rodman.

Donald Trump was going to hold a press conference today. It was suddenly canceled after it was revealed that the people who planned on endorsing him for president backed down.

A group of 100 Black clergy men were supposed to meet privately with the Republican front runner at the Trump Tower this week. It was going to be followed by a press conference. That was canceled after many a backlash from members of the Black church.

Some of the members were concerned that their church may face scrutiny if they endorse him.

Some in the Black church believe that Trump and Ben Carson are too polarizing.

It didn't help much to find out that Trump retweeted a crime statistic that many saw as a racial dog whistle. To make it even more clear, he tweeted an organization that doesn't even exist. The statistic came from some White extremist website.

And the brutal take down of a #BlackLivesMatter activist at a Trump event in Alabama happened.

Matter of fact, did the Black community forget that Trump was constantly bugging for President Barack Obama's birth certificate.

Trump's biggest Black backers so far is Dennis Rodman and those two women who made a viral YouTube video slamming Megyn the Outrage Princess.

Even Hispanic and Black Republicans are concerned about the direction of the party.

This weekend Black conservative agitator CJ Pearson denounced the Republican Party when they ignored the obvious police brutality in the Laquan McDonald shooting.

Colorado Springs Massacre.

Let's go ahead and talk about the shooting in Colorado Springs. A man with firearm just randomly went on a shooting rampage. He walks calmly at people who just happened to be in area.

In a 30 minute rampage in the early morning, the terrorist went ahead and start to buck and buck.

He shot a man riding his bicycle. He shot two women standing outside the driveway. A witness rushed to their aid. He could save these victims. The law was called. The gunman was anticipating the encounter.

A man who had a rap sheet that went back into the 1970s shot and wounded lawmen. The state was on high alert when this suspect was hiding the rural Kentucky plains. 

The suspect was accused of attempted first-degree murder after allegedly wounding a police officer in rural Tennessee and shooting at a Kentucky trooper later that day across the border, Kentucky State Police said.

The suspect was wanted for the Tennessee Highway Patrol officer shooting. He would shoot a Kentucky State Police officer after a routine pull over. After wounded the officer, the suspect went hiding into the woods. He was wanted on a methamphetamine charge. He was also a registered sexual offender who failed to notify his P.O. where he lived. After four days on the run, the U.S Marshals and the KSP put slugs in the suspect outside of Burkesville, Kentucky.

A Spoiled Son Kills His Parents.

A man and his girlfriend are accused of killing his parents. The Connecticut State Police and the FBI are investigating the 27 year old man and his girlfriend on weapons charges. 

The victims, Jeffery and Jeanette Nevin were found buried near a vacant property near Bridgeport. The suspect's text messages reveal a family rift. He was upset that his family was cutting off financial assistance. The suspect plotted revenge against his parents.

The victims were missing since August. They owned a recycling facility in Weston. 

The suspect was zeroed in on failed foreclosure of a business. He had weapons with disability charge because he was on a controlled substance when arrested.

The suspect left a paper trail. He bought bleach, trash bags and left receipts that described a potential murder plot. 

College Shootings.

There were numerous shootings on college campuses. One at Winston-Salem State University were one was killed and another was injured.

The school said a shooting was reported in the area of Lot W near Wilson Hall and Gleason-Hairston Terrace. The campus was placed on lockdown at 1:30 a.m. and the lockdown was lifted at 4:50 a.m.


The law is now searching for the suspect.

Over in Tennessee State University, the shootings, which occurred during a night encounter.
It appeared to have stemmed from a dispute over a dice game in an outdoor courtyard, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said.

The male who died was not enrolled at the school, a university spokeswoman said. Police have not said whether the other individuals involved were students or visiting the campus.

It was unclear if a suspect was in custody.

The three gunshot victims were transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, said Tanya Stone, operations supervisor for the Metro Nashville emergency communication center.

The two who survived had injuries not considered life-threatening, the Tennessean newspaper reported.

Last week, three people were shot and wounded during a large house party near the Tennessee State University campus.

The incidents come amid a string of gun violence at or near several U.S. schools in October, including deadly incidents on the campus of Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff and adjacent to Texas Southern University in Houston.

These were samples of the mass shootings that happened last week. Over four weeks since Umpqua and gun violence has spiked.

Not to mention more events in which law enforcement used force when engaging in suspects. Some of these encounters were deadly.

BREAKING: GAY MARRIAGE LEGAL IN THE U.S.!

Anthony Kennedy joined the liberal justices Steven Breyer, Elena Kagan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Sonia Sotomayor in an extremely historical decision. The gay marriage bans in states like Ohio, Kentucky, Florida and Texas are gone. The United States Supreme Court ruled, gay marriage the law of the land.

A HUGE DAY IN AMERICA FOR OUR FRIENDS IN THE LGBT COMMUNITY! THE SUPREME COURT RULED THAT THE STATE BANS ON GAY MARRIAGE ARE ILLEGAL.

GAY MARRIAGE AND GAY ADOPTION ARE NOW LEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES.

HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE IN THE COUNTRY.

THE ROBERTS COURT FINALLY WENT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!

A big day in the Supreme Court. The legality of marriage is now equal for all.

In a 5-4 decision, the court ruled that all state mandated gay marriage bans are discriminatory.

Win for the LGBT community.

The decision is a historic victory for gay rights activists who have fought for years in the lower courts. Thirty-seven states and the District of Columbia already recognize marriage equality. The remaining 13 states ban these unions, even as public support has reached record levels nationwide.

The justices found that under the 14th Amendment, states must issues marriage licenses to same-sex couples and recognize same-sex unions that were legally performed in other states.

The lead plaintiff in Obergefell v. Hodges is Ohio resident Jim Obergefell, who wanted to be listed as the surviving spouse on his husband's death certificate. In 2013, Obergefell married his partner of two decades, John Arthur, who suffered from ALS. Arthur passed away in October of that year, three months after the couple filed their lawsuit.

Obergefell was joined by several dozen other gay plaintiffs from Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee who were fighting both to be able to marry and to have their marriage recognized in every state in the country.

Family matters. The Supreme Court made a historical decision on gay marriage.

The country's views of same-sex marriage have transformed since 2004, when Massachusetts became the first state to allow gay couples to wed. In 2013, the Supreme Court began chipping away at the country's legacy of discrimination against same-sex couples when it struck down part of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which prevented same-sex couples whose marriages were recognized by their home state from receiving the hundreds of benefits available to other married couples under federal law.

President Barack Obama became the first sitting president to support marriage equality when he came out in favor of it in 2012, the same year that the Democratic Party made it part of its platform for the first time. The Republican Party and its slate of 2016 presidential aspirants, however, remain opposed to same-sex marriage. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) support a constitutional amendment protecting states that want to ban marriage equality.

Some conservatives have advocated for a civil disobedience effort against a Supreme Court decision in favor of same-sex marriage. However, officials in red states told The Huffington Post recently that they are prepared to implement the decision, going so far as to ready gender-neutral marriage licenses and set later office hours. Gerard Rickhoff, who oversees marriage licenses in Bexar County, Texas, said that if same-sex couples are discriminated against elsewhere in the state, "Just get in your car and come on down the highway. You'll be embraced here."

BREAKING: B.B. King Passes Away!

The news is confirmed that Blues legend B.B. King has passed away. He was interned into hospice a few weeks ago. He was suffering from heart failure and type II diabetes.


His family and management team have confirmed that he passed away tonight.

The remaining tours were cancelled upon hearing the Blues legend was admitted to the hospital.

No word from the White House yet, but expect it.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of B.B. King.

Brief summary from Wikipedia.

 B.B. King (born Riley B. King) was an American blues musician, singer, songwriter, and guitarist.

Rolling Stone magazine ranked him at No. 6 on its 2011 list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time (previously ranked No. 3 in the 2003 edition of the same list), and he was ranked No. 17 in Gibson's "Top 50 Guitarists of All Time".

According to Edward M. Komara, King "introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string bending and shimmering vibrato that would influence virtually every electric blues guitarist that followed."

King was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. King was also inducted into 2014 class of the R&B Music Hall of Fame. He is considered one of the most influential blues musicians of all time, earning the nickname "The King of Blues", and one of the "Three Kings of the Blues Guitar" (along with Albert King and Freddie King).

Godfather of Soul and the King of the Blues.

King is also known for performing tirelessly throughout his musical career, appearing at 250–300 concerts per year until his seventies. In 1956 it was noted that he appeared at 342 shows. King continued to appear at 100 shows a year through the end of his career.

Over the years, King has developed one of the world's most identifiable guitar styles. He borrowed from Blind Lemon Jefferson, T-Bone Walker and others, integrating his precise and complex vocal-like string bends and his left hand vibrato, both of which have become indispensable components of rock guitarists' vocabulary. His economy and phrasing has been a model for thousands of players.

King has mixed blues, jazz, swing, mainstream pop and jump into a unique sound. In King's words,

"When I sing, I play in my mind; the minute I stop singing orally, I start to sing by playing Lucille."

Georgia Principal Fired Out The Cannon After Tossing A Racial Insult!

The principal of a school in Georgia got fired out the cannon after she was recorded making a racial insult.

Now I see "all the Black people" are leaving.

Oh, damn, I'm leaving too....!

The words of a former Georgia principal after she made an outright snark at attendees at a commencement speech. She screwed up on the scheduling and told the audience to wait until a valedictorian spoke.

People were exiting the auditorium. She went off and it was recorded on camera.

“You people are being so rude to not listen to this speech,” Nancy Gordeuk told the crowd. “It was my fault that we missed it in the program. Look who’s leaving — all the black people.”

Gordeuk apologized for her comments over the weekend, claiming the “devil was in the house.” However, on Monday, she defended them and said she wasn't racist.

Look who's leaving, all the Black people!

“People always think the worst,” Gordeuk said. “You know, oh you say the word 'black,' you know, was I supposed to say ‘African American?’ Were they all born in Africa? No, they’re Americans. And, they live here. And, but just, I’m not a racist. People that know me, I've worked with disadvantaged kids like this that couldn't get through school, we help them get a high school diploma.”

It drove all the attendees to bounce. She told the junk food media that she screwed up and it lead to her getting her share of death threats and ridicule.

Nancy Gorduek was fired out the cannon after days of discussion. That discussion led to the board of directors at TNT Academy in Stone Mountain decided that it was way worse than expected.

View the video and judge for yourself. Was she out of line?
