| No Images? Click here  Welcome to your weekly dose of news for the culture, by the culture ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽Black politicians saved this week from being absolute trash. First, Barack Obama reminded folks that he isn't Trump and he actually tries to "speak facts" when he opens his mouth. Then, bombs were mailed to the homes and offices of various folks who've been the target of Trump's hateful rhetoric (including Obama, Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden). After the mass assassination attempt, Auntie Maxine Waters refused to be silence and told folks, "I ain't scared." And we can't forget about Andrew Gillum, who get's the award for black excellence this week. (See below.) Meanwhile, Megyn Kelly is OUT, y'all! Ding dong the witch is dead! After going on live TV in 2018, our Lord's year, and saying that she doesn't see anything wrong with blackface, NBC got her racist s**t outta here. The network announced today that she will no longer be an anchor on "Today." Ain't God good?
