Twitter Beef Ends In Violence

This gangbanging sh!! never gets old in LA but for some reason I feel like hip-hop has made it even more cool.

A negative Twitter dialogue could possibly be the cause of the unconfirmed death of @Rosemo700, whom is identified as a known Blood in Inglewood, CA. Over the weekend, videos on Worldstar have surfaced featuring @Rosemo700 as the main character in the assault of another young man because of an exchange of words on the major social platform that never sleeps. A couple days later, Twitter has claimed he’s been slain. This is said to be the same guy that allegedly knocked out The Game in the FoxHills mall a few weeks back.

Idk if this guy is dead or not, but its shocking to me that he could be. There are thousands of videos on Worldstar of young people getting knocked out, shot at, stabbed, jumped, etc. We watch them and laugh. How often do we sit back and analyze what happens next? One thing is for sure, they’re still banging in LA HARD!

THINK I’M KIDDING???

California Passes Law to Teach LGBT History in School

America is considered to be the “melting pot” of the world. Though times have changed and people are able to move around, America still has the widest variety of people, cultures and lifestyles. We come from all walks of life, sharing a common purpose, to achieve the so-called American Dream of success and happiness.

On Thursday, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill requiring all public schools in the state to teach students about the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans, as well as providing instruction on the role of people with disabilities. Even though there is a lot of controversy surrounding the issue and this bill is a first for the nation, I do agree with Gov. Brown when he said, “History should be honest.”
