Talib Kweli Blasts Rachel Dolezal: ‘You’re An Enemy’

While some do not have an issue with former NAACP chapter president Rachel Dolezal passing as a black woman for almost a decade, Talib Kweli is disgusted. After being outed as a white woman by her parents, Dolezal visited the Today show to break her silence had no problem she identified as a black woman and was not apologetic about deceiving people. In fact, she said she would do it all again if she could.

Kweli spoke with Rolling Stone to share his dismay with the situation. View an excerpt of his response below.

She’s said she identifies as black. Cool story, but that’s not a real thing – because at any time, she could go back. That is a privilege that people of color do not have. You cannot just jump back and forth between those worlds. It’s very disrespectful to the people of color that she claims to identify with to say something like that. When you say something like that, you are not identifying with us, at all, in any way, shape, or form.

I read that she sued Howard University in 2002 for discriminating against her for being white. She said she was denied a position because of her race, and that a professor there took her artwork off the walls because she was a white woman. To me, that exemplifies the worst aspect of this story. She tried to take advantage of the university by suing them, and then later she advanced her career by playing black. She has a history of taking advantage of the situation.

With all due respect to the NAACP, working with them doesn’t prove you’re not an a######. They’re the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and we don’t even call ourselves colored people anymore. I saw NAACP people in Ferguson when I was down there, but I also saw that they were down with Donald Sterling. Anyone can start an NAACP chapter. So I don’t think that’s the best judge of her character.

August Alsina Is A Good Sport About Gay Compliment

August Alsina seemed to be a good sport when blogger Perez Hilton made him his “Man Crush Monday” #MCM pick. I guess it’s good to see that he got a laugh out of it because knowing Alsina’s temper, this could’ve gone in a different direction.

Rick Ross’ Ex-Girlfriend Says She Was Suicidal After 50 Cent Leaked Sextape In Lawsuit

The mother of Rick Ross’ child, Lastonia Leviston, is suing 50 Cent for leaking her sextape in 2009 with his own narration, the New York Daily News reports. Leviston claims that Fif violated her civil rights and caused emotional damage after he bought the tape from her ex-boyfriend, Maurice Murray, in 2009 and published on his website. Leviston claims that the release of the sextape had her contemplating suicide, according to reports.

Leviston and her lawyer, Philip Friedin, appeared in a Manhattan court room yesterday (June 15). Friedin accused 50 of posting the video to not only humiliate his rival Rick Ross but to also bring more traffic to his website.The lawyer also stated that the Queens spitter didn’t know Leviston, but when Murray approached him with an amateur sextape of him and Leviston, he altered it with his own degrading narration and published it.  He also blurred Murray out of the tape and added his own music.

50’s lawyer, James Renard, claimed that after Leviston filed the lawsuit, her life improved. He said Ross moved her into a gated community in Pembroke Pines, FL after the lawsuit and that it is possible Ross encouraged her to file. Renard also claims that someone hacked into 50’s computer and published the tape before he did.

“The bottom line is, Mr. Jackson is not the one who first published it,” Renard said.

Friedin said Renard and 50 have yet to produce evidence that the computer was hacked.

He also stated that 50 thought he could publish the tape without any issues after Murray gave him permission to do so.

“In relying on Murray’s representation that he consented and his long-term girlfriend consented, Jackson formed a reasonable belief that he could use that video. He is not a lawyer,” Renard said.

The jury will be played the tape later in the trial.
