California Passes Law to Teach LGBT History in School

July 19, 2011 Front Page No Comments

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.”

False Alarm-ageddon!!!

July 17, 2011 Front Page No Comments

Cali residents were hoaxed into believing that the scheduled maintenance on the 405 freeway would back up traffic so bad that the best place you’d want to be is at home, hence the name CAR-MAGEDDON. To put things into perspective, the 405 is the biggest and most utilized freeway in the nation. It’s also the same freeway that the OJ Simpson’s turtle race car chase and Bill Cosby’s son’s homicide took place. With the freeway congestion being so legendary, people often joke that the interstate was numbered 405 because traffic moves at “four or five” miles per hour, or because drivers need “four or five” hours to get anywhere.

Apparently, that promotion of this event frightened everyone because as the dreaded weekend approached, employers let their staff leave early or call in. Some churches aren’t even having service today. However, it was reported that traffic was the lightest that residents had seen in years. This false prophecy might’ve been just as bad as ‘The Rapture’ occurring on May 21st. What a jip. What was your escape route? We’d love to know how you survived Carmageddon!

Almost 2,000 Prisoners Continue Hunger Strike In Cali!

Prison is not supposed to be equivalent to your stay at a five-star hotel but at least treat the inmates that occupy the space as human beings. Even animals are treated better than the inmates in more than a dozen California prisons which is why they’re participating in a hunger strike that has lasted more than a week, risking death in the process.

Rodney King Back w/o BEAT

July 13, 2011 Problems No Comments

Not only is Tupac Back but so is all of your favorite cultural icons from the ’90s. Rodney King wishes he was having a dream when he saw those cherries and berries in his rearview this week.

Apparently, this guy was busted in Cali after cops said he appeared to be high or drunk. They could easily just be making excuses but obviously this guy is struggling with his addiction more than others. He’s even appeared on celebrity rehab shows but this is the reality: Speeding or on speed, slow down son, you’re killing yourself!

Brief Black History For 21 and Under: All four officers that were charged in the beating of Rodney King were acquitted, sparking riots across L.A. that killed 55 people and caused more than $1 billion in property damage. Two of the officers were later found guilty of federal civil rights violations; two were acquitted. King was awarded $3.8 million in damages. He became engaged last year to a juror from that federal trial.
