"Who can possibly understand a baby better than a BABY?" asks dad La Guardia Cross in his latest installment of "New Father Chronicles," a hilarious weekly YouTube series where he tackles anything and everything parenthood. When baby Amalah was just 6 weeks old, Cross went directly to the source to find out why she was always crying. "After failing at interpreting my little girl's cries and figuring out the best way to keep her asleep at night, I decided to ask her for help directly. Did I let the fact that she was only 6 weeks old, didn't respond to her own name, and had no concept of the English language stop me? Of course not," he told The Huffington Post...

NEW YORK -- Carl Stubbs, 63, stood outside New York City Council chambers Wednesday in anticipation of the council’s vote on the Fair Chance Act -- a bill that would delay when many of the city’s private sector employers can ask job applicants about their criminal history. “I feel [that] being black, having a felony, you don’t get hired,” he told The Huffington Post. “I have had a felony for over 30 years.” Stubbs, who’s also an activist with the group Voices of Community Activists Leaders (VOCAL-NY), wanted the bill to pass because it could improve his chances getting a job. “I would love to go back to work,” he said. Earlier, Piper Kerman, author of the memoir-...

Weeks have passed since Giuliana Rancic made a controversial remark about actress Zendaya's hair during a post-Oscars episode of "Fashion Police." In that time, Rancic publicly apologized to the former Disney star, co-host Kelly Osbourne quit the show and reports surfaced that the joke was taken out of context in post-production. Now, Kathy Griffin, who joined the show following the death of Joan Rivers, is finally addressing the issue. In an interview with the Chicago Sun Times’ Splash magazine, the 54-year-old comedian doubts there would have been as much drama had she been the one to joke that Zendaya's dreadlocks made her look as if she smelled "like ...

"God, Ariel!" We've seen a Disney princesses meets "Mean Girls" parody before, but this one is especially funny and effective (and with custom GIFs)! With all the remakes and crossovers and reboots happening in entertainment these days, it's only a matter of time before Disney execs sit down with Paramount execs and realize that they have brand hybrid gold on their white-gloved four-fingered hands. Oh well, until then, let's keep enjoying the best of the fan-made versions.

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — The white police officer who killed Michael Brown has resigned from the Ferguson Police Department, his attorney said Saturday, nearly four months after the fatal confrontation with the black 18-year-old that fueled protests in the St. Louis suburb and across the nation. Darren Wilson, 28, has been on administrative leave since the shooting on Aug. 9. His resignation was announced Saturday by one of his attorneys, Neil Bruntrager. The resignation is effective immediately, Bruntrager said. A grand jury spent more than three months reviewing evidence in the case before declining in November to issue any charges against Wilson. He told jurors...

The cellphone video "reality footage" just doesn't stop. Black men are shot, killed, handcuffed. The shortcomings of their prematurely terminated lives soon become public knowledge, vaguely justifying the shocking wrongness of the officer's action -- always poisoning the grief. The family, the loved ones, the sympathetic sector of the American (and global) public demand "justice." Even when they get it, or sort of get it, in the form of an arrest or some official expression of regret, the victim -- the human being they valued -- is still dead. Nothing changes. At least it seems as though nothing changes, but of course change, in the form of ...

At least 11 children between the ages of 12 and 17 have committed suicide in my county since December. The heartbreaking details vary from child to child, but their families and this community—in the newly renamed Oglala Lakota County—feel the voids left by their absences just as deeply each and every time.
