AARP, as he opened up about fatherhood. In an effort to shield his son from the harsh realities of the world, Perry said he’s delaying “the talk” with his son, whom he shares with model Gelila Bekele, as long as possible.“I haven’t had the conversation with Aman because he’s only 7, and I want to hold out as long as I can,” Perry told the nonprofit organization.

who supports a ban on trans athletes competing in women’s sports… Our Black president was half White and our Black vice president is half Asian.” “My point is look, you’re still building your politics around slicing and dicing people into these fixed categories. Democrats need to get the memo that you can’t win elections anymore by automatically assuming you’re going to get every voter who’s not these guys,” Maher said while showing a photo of White men in suits from the 1950s.

former boyfriend Justin Timberlake, 42, talking differently around black artists in her new memoir, “The Woman in Me,” which hit shelves Tuesday. “His band, *NSYNC, was what people back then called ‘so pimp,'” Spears writes on Page 57 of the book.“They were white boys, but they loved hip-hop. To me, that’s what separated them from the Backstreet Boys, who seemed very consciously to position themselves as a white group.”“*NSYNC hung out with black artists.

AB 1078, passed the Assembly in May by a 61-17 margin, and the Senate last week by a 31-9 margin. Under the bill, sponsored by Assemblyman Corey Jackson (D-Moreno), school boards will be financially penalized if they vote to ban books or educational materials related to Black, Latino, Asian, Native American, and LGBTQ topics — provided those topics are part of the school’s approved curriculum, reports Los Angeles-based CW affiliate KTLA.The bill was sparked by a controversy in the Temecula Valley Unified School District, in which the board’s conservative members rejected an elementary school social studies curriculum over supplemental materials that mentioned Harvey Milk as the state’s first openly gay elected official, with the board president dubbing the former San Francisco Supervisor a “pedophile.”State officials blasted the board and threatened legal actions and fines, prompting the board to backtrack and adopt the approved state curriculum.

Race: The Movie: The Play, I was skeptical. What could possibly be said about racial-harmony movies like Green Book and Django Unchained that hasn’t already been said in snarky Tweets? Anyway, Green Book was released five years ago now, and it seems like even more of a relic in a post-COVID world.

NPR’s podcast “Code Switch.” Apu is a recurring Indian-American character in the show who runs the Kwik-E-Mart convenience store, which often keeps him from his wife and eight children. Azaria was first publicly called out in 2017 when comedian Hari Kondabolu, 40, who’s of Indian descent, expressed his anger over the character and Hollywood’s decades-long depictions of South Asians in the documentary “The Problem with Apu.” Azaria, who no longer voices Apu, and Kondabolu finally sat down and had their first public conversation to address the controversy in a podcast episode titled “The Fallout of a Callout.”Kondabolu described Azaria’s voicing of Apu as “a white guy doing an impression of a white guy making fun of my father.”“If I saw Hank Azaria do that voice at a party, I would kick the s–t out of him,” he said.

Concord Monitor.But critics of the bill, including civil rights organizations, mental health advocates, and even Attorney General John Formella, warned that the bill prioritized parents’ desires over the needs of children and could violate state anti-discrimination laws — concerns that led Sununu to vow to veto the bill.LGBTQ rights advocates specifically balked at provisions that would require schools to effectively “promptly” inform parents about any developments with their child, including any action taken around “gender expression or identity.” They argued that the bill would force counselors, school psychologists, or administrators to “out” LGBTQ-identifying students to their parents, even in cases where the student’s physical health or safety might be endangered by such a disclosure.“This bill as written creates numerous challenges for kids,” Sununu said in a statement prior to the final vote. “I share the concerns of the Attorney General and as such, will veto the bill if it reaches my desk.”In the week leading up to the vote, lawmakers were besieged by emails and calls from national and local advocacy groups on both sides of the issue. RebuildNH, a right-wing group formed during the pandemic to protest COVID-19 social distancing restrictions, paid for billboards across southern New Hampshire urging people to call their lawmakers to support the bill.

The Columbus Dispatch.The bill also bans teachers from broaching other “divisive concepts” such as the 1619 Project, so-called “critical race theory,” intersectional theory, inherited racial guilt, diversity, equity, and inclusion learning outcomes, or “any other concept that the state board of education defines as divisive or inherently racist,” such as lessons or materials that portray America as an inherently racist nation or that are critical of the country’s past. ‘”The classroom is a place that seeks answers for our children without political activism,” Schmidt said in a statement. “Parents deserve and should be provided a say in what is taught to their children in schools.”But Ohio State Board of Education Member Christina Collins said some of the bill’s provisions are highly ambiguous, and ignore the fact that school districts already have policies in place around the teaching of controversial issues. While Schmidt and Loychik have avoided interviews with the press, Collins believes that Ohio’s decision to target “instructional materials” as well as classroom discussions, is likely to result in removing books with LGBTQ characters or content from elementary school libraries.The Ohio Education Association and the Ohio Federation of Teachers both oppose the legislation. “It’s rally going to put both teachers and parents in a really tough spot,” OEA President Scott DiMauro said of the bill.

Machine Gun Kelly blurting: ‘Black girls give the best head,’ during an old interview is beyond baffling at this point.The Bloody Valentine musician – who is engaged to actress Megan Fox – was hit with intense backlash after Crystal Castles singer Alice Glass shared a clip of him at the 2012 BET Awards, which saw him comparing sexual, ahem, talents between Black and white women, which resulted in an offended bystander walking off.‘My child’s Black.

I’m trying to figure out with the sisters quite where the beef is.

statement this week. The book, “I Color Myself Different,” takes its name from one of his childhood experiences growing up as an adopted black child of white parents and will be “deeply personal,” the athlete said.

Sheryl Underwood was recently robbed of her on-camera thunder when a colossal cockroach crawled into her shot during a live broadcast. The six-legged space invader made its tickling television debut Monday, as the comedienne-turned-daytime talk show dynamo launched into a segment about a not-so-funny disorderly Delta Airlines passenger on a flight from Los Angeles to Atlanta on June 4. In the now-viral clip, Underwood, 57, seems to be unfazed by the uninvited encroacher. And even though she stumbled over her words a bit as the creepy creature climbed the on-set furniture in her background, it’s likely that the Emmy-winner didn’t even know the bugaboo was lurking just a few feet away from her head. Representatives for “The Talk” did not
