GOOGLE ACCUSED OF RACISM

Netizens who try to do a Google search using the terms ‘N*gga House’ will be directed to a famous address on Pensylvannia Avenue in the nation’s capital.

Go figure.

 

 

KANYE WEST ACCUSES MADONNA OF RACISM AND SEXISM

imageNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – “Kanye is the new Madonna,” the diva told the  New York Daily News today while promoting her new album Rebel Heart. “Kanye is the black Madonna.”

She continued, “We know, and recognize, that we have that in common. We’re comrades in the envelope-pushing genre.

But Kanye West didn’t appreciate Madonna’s comment, accusing her of racism and sexism.

“First of all, I have nothing in common with her,” West said.  “Secondly, for Madonna to call me ‘black’ is racist. What would she feel if I called her the white Madonna?” West added: “I’m a man. For me to be likened to a woman is very offensive.  It’s sexist.”

Kim Kardashian joined her husband in criticizing Madonna for her comments. “I think she has lost her star power and is trying to ride on the coattails of my husband to get back in the limelight,” she said.

 

HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN UNVEILS NEW LGBT LOGO

imageWashington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The equal sign (=) has long been a symbol of the LGBT community’s quest for equality and is, in fact, the logo of the Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBT advocacy organization in the U.S.

In an op-ed piece published in the latest issue of the LGBT magazine The Advocate, Ringo Le, director of the film ‘Big Gay Love,’ wrote a scathing criticism of the HRC logo. The film is about the struggles of being an Asian man in the American gay community.

In his piece, Le said:

“An equal sign is often used as a symbol for the LGBT community, but I believe a pyramid is a more appropriate image. And at the top of the social hierarchy stands the idealized gay white man, and it will probably never change.”

Being the responsive and and socially-responsible organization that it is, the HRC announced it was changing its logo from an equal sign to a pyramid with the rainbow colors of the gay flag,  with the top  section of the pyramid representing the gay white man.

African American, Asian and Latino gay men and women across the country immediately praised the HRC move, saying that this could signal a historic kumbaya moment in the American LGBT community.
