WASHINGTON — Facing rising accusations of racism for his incendiary tweets, President Donald Trump lashed out at his critics Monday and sought to deflect the criticism by labeling a number one black congressman as himself racist. In the most recent rhetorical shot at lawmakers of shade, Trump mentioned his weekend feedback referring to Rep. Elijah Cummings’ majority-black Baltimore district as a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” the place “no human being would want to live” weren't racist. Instead, Trump argued, “if racist Elijah Cummings would focus more of his energy on helping the good people of his district, and Baltimore itself, perhaps progress could be made in fixing the mess.” “His radical ‘oversight’ is a

Black pharmacists closing cultural hole in well being care
SHILOH, Ill. — After a medical health insurance change pressured Bernard Macon to chop ties together with his black physician, he struggled to seek out one other African American doctor on-line. Then, he realized two well being advocates had been hiding in plain sight. At a close-by drugstore right here within the suburbs exterior of St. Louis, a pair of pharmacists grew to become the surprising allies of Macon and his spouse, Brandy. Much just like the Macons, the pharmacists had been energetic younger mother and father who had been married — and unapologetically black. Vincent and Lekeisha Williams, house owners of LV Health and Wellness Pharmacy, didn’t hesitate to assist when Brandy had a tough
Beyond the pale: Baseball’s so-called black points brought on by
I’m the issue. If not the issue, then not less than the problem. Me, those that appear to be me, sound like me, view the world by a light-colored, male prism that units agendas, makes guidelines and decides what’s mainstream or “normal” in American tradition – or its subcultures, corresponding to baseball. “Middle-aged white men,” mentioned Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones.Tim Anderson was ejected by a white umpire and suspended one recreation by white MLB execs for utilizing the N-word after a white pitcher hit him with a pitch.

Martellus Bennett Goes Off On Jason Whitlock Over Comments On LeBron James, Race
Share this: Jason Whitlock angered plenty of black athletes with his comments on LeBron James and racism, but Martellus Bennett wasn’t about to let the FOX Sports 1 personality get off so easily. Whitlock appeared on “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” on Thursday and talked about the racism James experienced when someone spray painted the N-word on the gate of his Los Angeles home Wednesday. But Whitlock apparently believes James is too wealthy to actually experience racism. Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Torrey Smith and Denver Nuggets forward Wilson Chandler both chimed in on Twitter, but Bennett went in on Whitlock’s take. (Warning: There’s a lot of strong language in Bennett’s tweets.) To say that it's not someone's fight because they're rich is just ridiculous. Racism doesn't care
