Compton Mayor Aja Brown Explains The Difference Between Pulling Over A...
One of the most casual examples of the racial inequality in our justice system is what happens to African Americans during routine traffic stops, Compton Mayor Aja Brown told HuffPost Live last week. "A black person is pulled over, the first question is not, 'Can I see your driver's license and your registration?' It is, 'Are you on parole or probation? Do you live here? Is this your car? Is it in your name?' And so I think there is a total different reality that we have to address here, and it really goes back to the system," Brown said. ...

Meet The Bloggers Influencing African Fashion
This post was previously published on the Chayet Chiénin's blog, Nothing but the wax. Bloggers can seriously influence the way industries think -- in fashion and beyond. It's not for nothing that famous brands, big and small, enlist the services of these bloggers like crazy. These trendspotters, on top of the latest innovations, can ramp up sales of some brands and make others better-known. In the universe of African fashion, this phenomenon is equally well-known -- but it goes beyond direct influence on transactions and sales. We must be equally aware of the influence that is not as palpable and material: bloggers are able to make their interests the flavor of the day, resulting in a globalization and democratization ...
Biden Presidential Run Won’t Stop Hillary
The on again/off again media tease of a Joe Biden presidential run has been a long-running political soap opera. Now that there's actually tangible hints courtesy of some purported Democratic Party insiders that Biden will jump in the race, the tongues are wagging even more furiously about what actual effect it will have not on the Democratic race, but on Hillary. The answer is simple. It will have none. The Biden-for-president talk has always been driven by a mix of misgivings about or outright hostility to Clinton as a presidential candidate, both within and without the Democratic Party. This was the big reason that more than a handful...
For Some In Chicago, Spike Lee’s ‘Chiraq’ Has A Title That Rankles
In his 1914 poem, an admiring Carl Sandburg called Chicago the “City of the Big Shoulders,” a proud label for the working people who called it home. During the winter of the polar vortex 100 years later, as temperatures dipped below zero and bitter winds whipped off Lake Michigan, miserable Chicagoans quipped that they were living in Chiberia. Now this city is contending with a newer, grimmer label: Chiraq. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.

Cop Fired For Cutting Off Detained Woman’s Weave Gets Job Back
A Michigan police officer who was fired after cutting the artificial hair off a detained woman's head will be getting her job back, against the wishes of her department. An arbitrator ruled that Warren Police Officer Bernadette Najor be reinstated to the suburban Detroit police force with full back pay, local newspaper The Macomb Daily reports. Attorney Peter Sudnick, who represented Najor and the Warren Police Officers Association union in arbitration, told the paper that Najor had not violated the terms of her employment contract and that “[s]he was completely exonerated” by the arbitrator. Najor was fired last December after she cut the artificial hair...
Beyoncé Teases Big Announcement, Then Shills Vegan Diet On ‘Good Morning America’
On Monday, Beyoncé revealed how she got her "flawless" body on "Good Morning America" -- through a vegan diet. The news had been teased by the morning show as "something amazing she wants you to know," and as "something I have to share with everyone," by the 33-year-old singer. With that kind of hype, you can imagine how let down we were, when Bey's big announcement was that she lost some weight by eating a lot of kale and following the 22-day vegan challenge, a program in conjunction with the vegan meal-delivery service, 22 Days Nutrition. "I am not ...
Lessons Learned From The Deafening Silence Regarding Boko Haram’s Attack On Baga
While the world was mourning the deaths of journalists at Charlie Hebdo and rallying in support of press freedom, Nigeria was deep in the throes of another tragedy. On Jan. 3, Boko Haram raided the town of Baga and its neighboring villages, using explosive devices and automatic weapons to raze the area in what was described as the deadliest massacre in the history of the Islamic group. Of the estimated 2,000 victims, most were children, women and elderly people who could not outrun the insurgents and their weaponry, the Guardian reported. But the international media seems to have stayed mum on the bloody attack. In a HuffPost Live conversation on Thursday, actress and comedian Maysoon Zayid spoke out on the lack of coverage...
The Club Nobody Wants to Join: Mothers With Sons in Prison
Mothers around the world want the best for their children. These hopes and dreams include wanting their kids to be healthy, educated, loved, respected and to also have productive and prosperous lives. However, for an alarming number of black mothers, these wishes won't be realized. Even worse, some of these mothers will join a club that none of them want to become a member, which is: "Mothers with a son in prison." For example, Dr. Ivy Hylton of the Hearts Strings Project in the D.C. Metropolitan area taught her son about values, the importance of a quality education, and the necessity to have good character. Dr. Ivy's love, ...
Michael Jackson, King Of Pop, Wanted To Be An Actor
Michael Jackson excelled at a great number of things. He sang. He danced. He leaned over really far without falling down. If you need additional reminders of his lasting contributions to the culture, there's this: So when we learned that this fabled entertainer was held back from his dream to act -- to do, to perform! -- we were shocked. And saddened. But then we brushed back our tears with a single white-gloved hand and sat down to tap out this loving letter to Michael Jackson, AC-tor, the star that could have been, but never was. Michael Jackson wanted to be Spider-Man. And also Professor X in the "X-Men" series. But according to former Marvel comics frontman Stan Lee, he was most interested in the ...
