The CNN Takedown Folo - AKA "Shit just got real son!"

In case you were too busy re-upholstering your nads or whatEVER it is you do with your free time to notice, 'round about last week, a certain angry tanned goddess-like creature single handedly attempted to shade CNN into submission for its negro news efforts (or lack thereof).

From Racialicious:

... is it truly a laughing matter? Why is it that CNN, arguably the world’s most recognizable cable news network, seems unable to produce timely, on-trend stories about black America? Is it really funny that a network able to pirouette through major international stories fumbles over covering one of the nation’s most visible minorities, producing mostly stereotype-based eyebrow raisers in the process?

Recent headlines include:

•Does the black church keep black women single? (August 2010)
•Black preachers who whoop: Ministers or minstrels? (October 2010)
•Held as slaves, now free (A December 2010 article about hair braiders)

Now, I'm not saying I know this author. But she strikes me as highly talented and almost CERTAINLY a very stylish individual.

*insert Phaedra-style MMMMMHMMMMMMMMM*

Anywho, all hell has since broken loose! Commentors are going to bat for their Latina Negro News Griot Soledad O'Brien, posting highly misguided original comments such as:

Comment:

Expand "The network rolls out Soledad O’Brien on a handcart, to the chagrin of some black journalists who question why a Latina-appearing, biracial woman would become the network’s patron saint of Negro news."

So, would those reports be better if a darker skinned and/or monoracial Black person was doing them?

Is the issue here the content of these reports - or O'Brien's ethnic background?

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww shiggity wiggity now! Do NOT FUG WITH THE O'BRIEN JUICE CREW BOO BOO! They slice batches faces and stomp on them in stillettos- YOU DON'T KNOW NA'ER NEWS ORGANIZATION!!!!!!

That Walker chick is out of line anyway. Who is SHE to challenge The C to the N to the N??? I have a mind to call that whore up ... OH SHIT CNN HAS A HIP HOP CHURCH VIDEO UP!

Gotta go! *Sambo dances into the sunset*

Fried, dyed and laid to the side - A "because I can" moment

Tell the DJ bring it back.


No, you don't get any type of explainer on this shat. I'm posting this just because I'm an out of control negress who should never have been freed and certainly shouldn't have been given Interweb access.

I just want you to marinate in it.

Foxy Brown now getting sued! Code Poo Poo Brown issued in response

So many sammiches ago.

Alright, Inga, this nonsense is getting just as predictable as your Argentinian- hooker-caught-in-the-rain weave stunts.

HipHopWired says:

While Foxy Brown continues to prep her return to music, her former manager is lashing out against her with a $100,000 lawsuit.

Said manager goes on to make what is surely the first viable bid for understatement of 2011:

According to her ex-boss however Foxy just needs to get help for her “self destructive” behavior.

Meanwhile, Foxy brought on this latest Shamwow during a late-night Twitter tirade involving pork rinds, Hennessy and a lot of delusions:

In addition to calling out Brennan, Foxy also previously addressed rumors that her Christmas Massacre diss was aimed solely at Lil Kim and not Nicki Minaj saying,
“And contrary to the bulls--t that was posted…”Christmas Massacre” is NOT supporting homegirl and dissin' shorty! “Massacre” is the response to b*tches thinkin' its sweet insinuating my name in that beef! “Machine Gun Kelly” b*tch!! I am the streets! I aint' taking NO sides….FOX stand alone!"

I'm just gonna go ahead and issue an Anna Nicole Smith Alert, Code PooPoo Brown for this sister. That's the international alert for when a ninja is spinning out of control and fading away faster than Naomi Campbell's hairline. This alert has previously been issued for the likes of Lauryn Hill and Young MC*.

*I just wanted to toss Young MC out there for no particular reason.

I know I've previously called for prayer circles to be formed around the tatters of Inga's edges career, and placed more than one of her chronically stressed dresses on our sick and shut in list. But I want to go farther.

Yes. I am taking the unprecedented step of issuing an eclessiastical proclamation and a final call to arms to right the oceanliner that has become Foxy Brown. Christian soldiers, I implore you to meet me at the back of Foo Yah's Yaki Depot, on 123rd in Harlem by the chicken box shack, Friday morning. Bring crosses, armor, annointing oils and patience.

We're gonna get Foxy together!
