*Earlier today Rev. Al Sharpton President of the National Action Network and MSNBC host, along with the family of slain civil rights icon Emmett Till, met with reps of the PepsiCo. Here is his statement regarding that meeting. “The meeting today with PepsiCo representatives, the family of Emmett Till, and me at corporate headquarters was [...]
*Officials from PepsiCo Inc. are scheduled to meet today with members of Emmett Till’s family and the Rev. Al Sharpton. Sharpton continued to press for the meeting last week after the company’s partnerships with Lil Wayne and Tyler, the Creator, of Odd Future to promote Mountain Dew sparked controversies. PepsiCo and Lil Wayne have since [...]
*Lil Wayne’s apology letter to the family of Emmett Till after crudely referencing the slain civil rights icon in a song was not enough for him to keep his endorsement deal with Mountain Dew. The Young Money CEO wrote an apology letter to the family of Emmett Till and the Till family responded saying Lil [...]
*Sorry Lil Wayne, but what you considered as an apology to the family of brutally slain civil rights icon Emmett Till was seen as … well, put it this way, y’all still not on the same page. Earlier today (Wednesday, 04-0-13), as we reported, Wayne sent a letter to the Tills … to “acknowledge” the [...]
*It took Lil Wayne long enough to man up, but he’s finally done the right thing. The Louisiana bred rapper has issued an apology to the family of Emmett Till for his totally unnecessary and vulgar beyond words verse where he used civil rights icon’s brutal death as metaphor for sexual intercourse on Future’s song, [...]
*The family of Emmett Till is not letting Lil Wayne off the hook after spitting an offensive line about the slain teenager. The rapper is featured in a new Mountain Dew ad, but the family wants him completely dropped. Wayne has been targeted by the family over his verse on Future‘s “Karate Chop” remix. On the [...]
*Lil Wayne must have been out of his mind, or someone in that studio is flat out ignorant. After Future’s track “Karate Chop” featuring Wayne leaked the other day, only outrage poured out among the masses for his careless lyric degrading the legacy and legend of Emmett Till. The family of the slain 14 year [...]
*Even Stevie Wonder sees stupidity and ignorance in Lil Wayne. Wonder, like a lot of people, it too through with Lil Wayne over his vulgar lyrics that reference Emmett Till, a black U.S. teen whose murder in 1955 for allegedly whistling at a white woman changed the national conversation on race and civil rights. Wonder [...]
*As we reported earlier, Lil Wayne and Future are under fire for their despicable lyrics in their song “Karate Chop” which was recently leaked to the internet. On the track, he compares the horribly mutilated face of 14-year-old Emmet Till in 1955, to what he would do to a woman’s genitals. Well maybe Wayne thought [...]
*The Newtown massacre will never be forgotten by any of us who heard the breaking news of the horrific event. The fear and horror we witnessed in the faces of those directly and indirectly affected by the lives taken that day left an indelible mark on our hearts. But now Roland Martin is answering the [...]
*Just like the headline says, this page/board is where you can discuss the stuff that we didn’t cover in today’s issue. (It’s sort of like feedback with a twist) Remember, NO name calling, racial taunting, graphic sex talk and vulgarity in general, PLEASE. ——– EUR MOTIVATIONAL NOTE Whatever we believe about ourselves and our ability [...]
