Firefighter Jeremy Skeen Found Not Guilty Of Spitting On Toddler A Kansas City firefighter who was accused of spitting on a toddler at a local Hooters and calling him the N-word was recently found not guilty. As previously reported a KCTV 5 News story, stated that a man in Kansas allegedly berated a child who wandered away from a birthday party and spat on him. That person Terrence “Jeremy” Skeen also allegedly used the n-word when one of the boy’s relatives came to retrieve him. Now KCTV reports that Skeen has been cleared of all charges despite two independent witnesses testifying that they saw and heard different portions of the incident. Judge Cynthia Cornwell said that the witness statements were “incomplete and contradictory” and that the charges had not been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Skeen was cleared of battery, assault and disorderly conduct charges. The boy’s grandfather testified that while he was walking over to collect the 3-year-old, a restaurant patron told him that they saw Skeen spit on the child. The grandfather also testified that he felt spit in the boy’s hair and “feared for his life” after Sheen made a comment about “having guns.” Categories: For Your Information, News, Race Matters More Stories From Bossip × Topic Results Load More

1 of 2❯❮ Elder Ordonez / Splash News Cardi B Apologizes For Bisexual Backlash Over “Girls” Song Cardi B has spoken up in response to the backlash over Rita Ora’s song “Girls” which she’s featured on along with Bebe Rexha and Charlie XCX. Cardi took to Twitter to apologize: “Listen to “GIRLS” by Rita Ora ft me @BebeRexha @charli_xcx,” Cardi tweeted Tuesday. “We never try to cause harm or had bad intentions with the song. I personally myself had experiences with other woman, shiieeett with a lot of woman ! I though the song was a good song and i remember my experience.” Rita Ora retweeted Cardi’s message and added some emojis. Ora issued her own apology on Monday It gets tricky though because Cardi also apologized for not using the correct terms, but then turned around and used a term! Hit the flip to see what we mean. “I know i have use words before that I wasn’t aware that they are offensive to the LGBT community,” she admitted. “I apologize for that .Not everybody knows the correct ‘terms ‘to use. I learned and I stopped using it.” Cardi says she stopped using certain words but apparently the d-word isn’t one of them… Do you think Rita and Card were right to apologize? Or, considering they both have had experiences with women, should they be allowed to embrace the terms they see fit?

Donald Glover should have had his own movie from the jump. However, this is America. According to ComicBook, LucasFilms president Kathleen Kennedy announced that Glover will indeed star in his very own Lando Calrissian movie during in interview with Premiere France. “We think that the next spin-off will be dedicated to Lando Calrissian,” Kennedy said. “Of course, there are still many stories to tell about Han and Chewbacca but Lando will be next.” You’d think with Glover’s huge rising popularity that this would be pretty obvious but hey, what do we know, we’re just Black folks with a keen eye for what’s poppin’ in pop culture. Congrats to Donald Glover! We can’t wait to see it! Categories: Congratulations, For Your Information, New Movie More Stories From Bossip × Topic Results Load More
