‘Pacman’ Jones Pleads Not Guilty To Slapping Woman

Cinncinati Bengals star player Adam “Pacman” Jones (pictured) pleaded not guilty to assault charges, stemming from his arrest on Monday for allegedly striking a woman in the face after she allegedly threw a beer bottle at him. The plea was entered a day after he was jailed then released on his own recognizance, according to The Washington Post.[1] The incident, which was caught on a surveillance tape, occurred at a downtown Cincinnati nightclub shortly before midnight on June 5th. Jones reportedly approached two women, who were sitting outside of the establishment. A third woman, whom police investigators have identified as 34-year-old Shannon Wesley, is seen walking over to Jones in a seemingly confrontational manner. The woman is seen reaching for the 29-year-old NFL cornerback’s face, but the video is so grainy that it is difficult to determine whether the woman has an object in her hand. Jones is then reportedly ...

Black Conspiracy Theory 101: Did Robert F. Kennedy Predict A Black Man Would Be President In 40 Years?

On May 27, 1968, Kennedy gave a radio interview to “Voice Of America,” the largest U.S. international broadcaster, when he was the Attorney General in his brother’s, President y’s, administration. During his interview, as he pointed out all of the imperfections in America’s fabric regarding equal rights for Blacks, did he in fact make a bold proclamation[1] that he envisioned an African American occupying the same Oval Office that his brother once did? Kennedy (aka Bobby or R.F.K.) was a powerful ally to the Black community, because he helped to invoke change in his reign as Attorney General during the Civil Rights era. In the fall of 1962, Kennedy sent thousands of federal troops to Oxford, Miss., to enforce a U.S. Supreme Court ...

Grace Colbert: Cheerios Ad Daughter Not Affected By Racism, Says Commercial ‘Fun To Make’ [VIDEO]

Grace Colbert, the adorable 6-year-old actress who stars as the daughter in the recent — and unexpectedly controversial — Cheerio’s ad, sat down with her real parents, Janet and Christopher Colbert, for an interview with Thomas Roberts on MSNBC on Tuesday. The confident little girl has not been negatively affected by the virulent racism that catapulted the 30-second spot to viral status. In fact, according to her mother, she thought everyone was focused on her “great smile.” “America needs to see that this is just a way of life,” Grace’s dad Christopher said in the interview. “I wasn’t upset or anything. I was pretty much really excited about having this type of reaction so we can see where we still stand in America. But look out, America, because this is just reality.” See full interview below: As previously reported by NewsOne, the 30-second spot features an adorable bi-racial girl asking her mother if Cheerios is good for the heart. When her mother, who is White, confirms that the cereal is heart healthy, the little girl runs off with a delighted grin. In the next scene, we see her father, who is Black, awaken from a nap with Cheerios poured on his shirt over his heart.
