(2:49) – BLACKURATE NEWS

• Lawmakers in Madison, Wisconsin, recently debated whether state colleges and universities should be barred from considering race or gender when determining if a student is eligible for aid (affirmative action).
• Under the Republican bill, admission into programs, and tuition assistance that’s aimed at disadvantaged students, could only consider the wealth of the student and their family.
• Sen. Eric Wimberger, Republican of Green Bay, Wisconsin, one of the bill’s co-authors, said he acknowledged the lingering effects of racism, but he maintained race-based programs and assistance in higher education would enable bad actors more than it’d help underserved people.

 

(7:47) – POP CULTURE

This story is the essence of “they should’ve never gave y’all social media.” Tyrese, who we all respect for his voice and talents… stay Tyresing. He posted a video of a Latino family doing family-oriented things, and in his caption demeaned and berated the entire BLACK race.

 

(12:43) – 60 SECOND HEADLINES

Tanya Chutkan, the federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case, is postponing the trial until his appeals play out on the question of whether presidential immunity protects him from being prosecuted.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has acknowledged her personal relationship with Nathan Wade… the lead prosecutor on the Trump case, but says it doesn’t disqualify her.

Welcome Home Franklin! A new ‘Peanuts’ special will finally let Franklin, the first Black Peanut character, sit by White friends (Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Linus, Pig Pen and the gang).

Killer Mike’s Grammys night came to an early end last night… because he was led out of the event in handcuffs — after an alleged physical altercation with a security guard.

(28:39) – BIG UP, LET DOWN

BIG UP – to an almost bride-to-be in California for her generosity and foresight!! An anonymous woman in California learned “something” (hmmm) about her fiancé’ and decided to call their wedding off. BUT she’d already paid a $15k non-refundable fee for the wedding reception. Double BIG up: she donated the reception party to a non-profit called Parents Helping Parents which provides community support to parents with children who have special needs. AND she and her almost-husband didn’t waste anybody’s time or money by getting married into a chaotic situation. Some people would’ve been like, “Oh we finna have this reception, so we don’t waste money!”

 

LET DOWN – to piss poor journalism and cultural appropriation during Black History Month. Superbowl-bound Chiefs player Travis Kelce has made the news recently for popularizing the FADE haircut, y’all! Yes, the hairstyle Black men have been rocking since the Black ICE ages. New York Times’ Alyson Krueger titled an article, “They’ll Take the Travis Kelce — Hairdo, That Is.” Apparently a lot of men are taking to their local barbershops and asking for a haircut similar to Kelce’s. The article cites a TikTok video from barber Jeff Dugas saying that his brother came in with photos of Kelce for reference. It also cites a different TikTok video from barber Nigel Miller, who said his client was going for “that Travis Kelce look.” WHAT ARE WE DOING?! This is just bad journalism and poor research! White folks gone find a way to take the credit for Black swag one way or another. On the football field, behind a typewriter, in the newsroom…

(37:23) – BLACKURATE NEWS

• America is not a racist country they say! Well why was the statue of the first Major League baseball player, Jackie Robinson, cut off at the ankles and burned in Wichita, Kansas? You heard me! Someone(s) cut the statue off at the ankles, stole it and it was later found burned in a public trash container. Thanks to a GoFundMe campaign, at least $175,000 has been received to fund the replacement. Other facts The Jackie Robinson statue, which officials valued at $75,000, was designed by the late artist John Parsons. Lutz previously said the new statue will be created from an existing mold of Parsons’ original work. Money that is raised beyond the cost of the statue’s replacement will go toward supporting the league and improvements at the pavilion where the statue is displayed, including additional security, according to League 42.
