Man Arrested For Racist Death Threats Posted Online

34-year-old Mostafa Hussaini was taken into custody by the FBI on Thursday, which came after agents discovered 12 troublesome videos on his YouTube account. In said footage, he threw around racial slurs and threatened to burn black people and kill any individuals of different religious background than him.

According to reports from The Miami Herald, Hussaini–who typically posted under the moniker “Vam Vima”–would upload videos with hate-filled speech, like the one on December 8 titled “Soldier Burns, Fantasizing to Burn Enemy,” where he imagined burning “millions” of black people and soldiers.

“Imagine burning a black person, because I don’t like blacks. I don’t know any blacks,” he said in the video. “I, I cannot even name any blacks. I don’t know any black people. … This gasoline, imagine burning some black soldiers. They’re going to look very black after I’m done burning them. I can burn thousands, millions of them so there will be lots of burning.”

Unsurprisingly, though, Hussaini’s hatred of people who are different from him extended into several different races. “I don’t like blacks, Spanish, some white, but there is no whites in Miami,” he explained in a video. He also found issue with literally anyone who didn’t agree completely with his beliefs. “I want to let you know I have no respect for religious people like them Nazi associates who wanted to systematically genocide all European Jews,” he said. “I also want to genocide Americans.”

This troublesome online poster was once seen advising anyone who saw his video and lives in Miami to “bring your gun and let everyone know.” Luckily, the FBI was made aware of Hussaini’s frightening videos earlier this month via the Miami Beach Police Department, which was informed by a resident who saw the posts online.

Prior to his arrest, he was being investigated by the U.S. Army Counterintelligence Command, Miami Beach Police Department, Davie Police Department,and the FBI. Now, he’s scheduled for a detention hearing on Wednesday.

Fan Banned By NBA Files $100 Million Lawsuit Against Russell Westbrook And Jazz

The nerve of these people!

Earlier this year BOSSIP reported on an incident that took place between a racist Utah Jazz fan and then-Thunder baller Russell Westbrook. The fan, Shane Keisel, reportedly told Westbrook to “get down on your knees like you’re used to” which prompted brodie to reply “I’ll f**k up you and your wife”. Shane was subsequently banned from all Utah Jazz games permanently by the NBA.

Today, we report that Shane, like many white men who can’t stomach the thought of being restricted from anywhere much less a majority Black space, is playing the victim like he just got cast in the new Rosewood reboot.

According to The Salt Lake Tribune, Shane and his girlfriend Jennifer Huff are now suing Westbrook AND the Jazz for, wait for it…$100 million! The bogus a$$ lawsuit suggests that Shane was only engaging in “typical” crowd heckling and Westbrook “misheard” the comments that were made toward him. Let Shane tell it, he told Russy to “ice his knees” after the game…

The suit goes on to state that Keisel was defamed when Westbrook characterized his comments as racist which eventually led to him being fired from his job after #0’s fans campaigned on social media against him. Keisel also complains that he can’t go out in public because people harass him and his family. Boo-TF-hoo.

Keisel and Huff want a public apology and significant financial damages, according to the suit. The attorneys are seeking $68 million in damages for Keisel and $32 million for Huff on claims of defamation and infliction of emotional distress.

Let us be the first to tell Shane and his woman that they ain’t gettin’ s#!t. Not a dime. It’s also worth pointing out that although Shane is trying to spin his comment as “typical heckling”, the tweets never lie and screenshots never die…

So, yeah, f**k Shane Keisel and the burning cross he rode in on.

Gabrielle Union Talks The Risk Of Speaking Up On Behalf Of Others

Gabrielle Union is not one of these soulless, gutless, Hollyweird negroes who will do and say anything to get a check from one of these soup cookie CEOs. Nah. She’s different. Yeah, she’s different.

At this point, you’re well aware that Gab was canned from America’s Got Talent after making it known to the higher-ups at NBC that there were several levels of f***ery afoot on the set of the show. For the most part, she’s been mum about the situation as we’re sure that there are some legal ramifications to doing so. However, that doesn’t mean that she’s about to run from the topic either.

According to Variety, Gabrielle was speaking on a panel on female empowerment and inclusivity at the launch of her new holiday collection with New York & Company when she let the choppa spray on those who feel it necessary to sell out marginalized people to obtain money.

Giving advice on being a leader in the workplace, Union said, “Don’t be the happy negro that does the bidding of the status quo because you’re afraid. Don’t allow them to call you angry when someone else is called passionate. It’s terrifying. There’s a solid chance you’ll lose your job … I speak from experience,” she quipped, though never mentioning “America’s Got Talent.”

“Do your best because corporations want global dollars,” Union continued. “Do your best to try to hold the door open and hold people responsible. Yeah, I’m asking you to do the impossible … I’m fully aware that job loss is on the table … but if you’re not doing it, nobody is.”

Gab U droppped a lot of real a$$ jewels during this panel discussion and we highly recommend that you read the entire article HERE.

Protect that lady at all costs.

Caucasity Audacity: Rochester Weatherman Who Was Fired For Calling MLK “Coon” On-Air Files Lawsuit Against Mayor

Weatherman Fired For Calling MLK Jr. “Coon” Sues City Mayor For Defamation

White folks got some nerve.

You probably don’t remember Jeremy Kappell, but Jeremy was fired from his job as a weatherman for WHEC in Rochester, New York after calling Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “Martin Luther Coon King Jr.” on live television. Jeremy says it was simply a slip of the tongue, but WHEC wasn’t trying to hear it and gave him the boot back in January after significant public outcry.

One of those in the public who was out-crying was Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren who called for the station to terminate Kappell in no uncertain terms via USAToday:

“It is beyond unacceptable that this occurred. There must be real consequences for the news personality involved and also for the management team that failed to immediately apologize and address the slur,” the statement from Warren and Scott said. “The individual responsible for the slur should no longer be employed at Channel 10.”

Welp, according to the Democrat & Chronicle, Kappell has filed a lawsuit against the mayor claiming that she defamed him in a Facebook post where she accused him of intentionally used a “racial slur” despite his defense to the contrary that it he simply botched MLK’s name. Here’s an explanatory statement he released via his website KappellWeather:

After almost a full year of deliberation the decision was formally made to file lawsuit against Mayor Lovely Warren with regards to her involvement in my termination at News10 WHEC and also the defamation created by her careless public accusations and unlawful demands for me to be fired. As a result, not only have I lost a job and potentially a 20 year career, but my family’s name has been permanently tarnished.

Because of her actions, my family and I have suffered greatly these past many months and unfortunately, she has taken zero responsibility and has shown no willingness to move towards a resolution. She left us with no other option.

Boo-TF-hoo.

Twist Ya Fangaz: Army Cadet Caught Throwing Up “White Power” Hand Sign On Live Television

Cadet Seen Putting Up “White Power” Hand Gesture At Army-Navy Game

Even amongst the ranks of men and women who are supposed to personify honor, respect, and dignity, there are still raging racists ready to violate their “brothers and sisters”.

This weekend marked the 120th Army vs. Navy college football game. During an ESPN hit with anchor Rece Davis, an Army cadet was seen throwing up the “white power” symbol that has become the source of much outrage in the era of Trump.

The gesture was NO low key. Social media picked up on it almost immediately and the viral video began making its rounds. According to USAToday, the U.S. Military Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy have both launched an investigation into the students involved.

There is another narrative about this hand signal that goes as follows:

The gesture, though, is also used in the so-called Circle Game. In it, a person holds an upside-down OK sign below his or her waist. If someone notices, the person making the symbol is able to punch the person who notices it in the shoulder.

The Anti-Defamation League in September added the OK symbol as a gesture of hate.

If this is determined to be an exercise in white supremacy then there should be hell to pay. Not only for making the guestre in the first place but to do so on national television while standing next to Black cadets is PEAK soup cookie behavior.

We’ll have more details about this as they become available.

Bigot Bank Black: Racist JP Morgan Chase Employees Recorded Telling Ex-NFLer Jimmy Kennedy He’s Too Big, Black, And Scary

JP Morgan Chase Employee Secretly Recorded Making Racist Statements

Jimmy Kennedy is Black, 38-years-old, 6’4″, and 320 pounds. Those type of physical features get you two things in Amerikkka, the ability to make millions of dollars playing professional sports, and racist stereotyping when you look for a bank to deposit those millions.

According to DailyMail, Kennedy, a former NFL lineman for the St. Louis Rams, Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings, and New York Giants, has recorded JP Morgan Chase employees making insanely racist statements to him. Kennedy was looking to become a “private client” that awards him discounts and other VIP perks, but he began to feel that he was being treated much differently than others in his tax bracket. As soon as he pressed “record”, he found out why:

‘You’re bigger than the average person, period. And you’re also an African-American,’ the employee, Charles Belton, who is black, told Kennedy, reports the New York Times.

‘We’re in Arizona. I don’t have to tell you about what the demographics are in Arizona. They don’t see people like you a lot’.

A JP Morgan Chase spokesperson initially said they had not heard anything about these recordings, then switched their pitch once the New York Times let the KKKat out of the bag. The executive who was caught on tape was placed on paid leave and has since resigned completely.

Kennedy’s first financial advisor, Ricardo Peters, also complained of racist practices and caught those conversations on a recorder as well. Peters’ boss, Frank Venniro, basically fed a Black woman who was in need of serious financial advice to the sharks.

Then he complained to the same boss that another advisor was trying to steal a client – a woman who was black and on a public housing assistance program known as Section 8 – who received $372,000 in a wrongful death settlement when her son died…

‘You’ve got somebody who’s coming from Section 8, never had a nickel to spend, and now she’s got $400,000,’ Venniro said.

‘What do you think’s going to happen with that money? It’s gone’, Venniro said, not knowing that Peters too was recording his words, out of his concerns.’

Louisiana Mom Speaks Out Against High School Student’s Racist Caption Under Photo Of Her Black Son

Mom Slams White Teenagers For Racist Caption On Photo Of Her Son

A mother in Louisiana is speaking out after a white teenager shared a Christmas photo of her black son with a racist caption.

According to reports from KTBS, a photo of two high school students carrying Sharon Martin’s five-year-old at a Christmas event at Byrd High School  surfaced on Instagram recently, and it included an offensive caption. A screenshot of the since-deleted photo–which shows two white teenagers holding Martin’s son–reveals that the caption read, “A Ghetto Christmas Carol.”

The mother said that she didn’t appreciate the racist undertone in the caption. “Really? Ghetto?” Martin said to the station. “Why? Because he’s black? I don’t know if they were trying to be funny or what,” she continued. “I don’t get it. I didn’t get it. Like why would they just write that? They could have left the ghetto part out and I would have been probably okay with it.”

Her son’s cousin, Danny Martin, also voiced similar concerns over the caption calling the five-year-old, “ghetto.”

“He’s five years old. He doesn’t know what’s going on. He doesn’t know what’s being said. He doesn’t know about all the comments, posts on social media. He doesn’t know that. So it’s my job as his cousin to protect him from seeing that and also to protect any other child that’s affected by this that’s been happening anywhere in Shreveport.”

The child’s mother also added that she did not give the high school consent to take pictures of her son, though it’s still unclear as to why the child was at the event in the first place.

In response to the backlash, the mother of the teenager who posted the caption ended up issuing a statement to the station, apologizing for her son’s caption and the entire incident.

“Our son was referring to the title of a song that is popular among teens,” the mother’s statement read. “He had no intention of being malicious or hurtful to anyone, especially the child photographed, whom he has already written a letter to apologizing for the whole incident. Although, he did not intend to be hurtful toward anyone, his father and I feel that some counseling regarding cultural sensitivity is warranted.”

In addition, the Caddo Parish School Board–which oversees Byrd High School–also released its own statement to the station.

“The administration of Byrd was made aware of the post and immediately took action, contacting the parents of the student and the student,” the statement reads. “The post has been taken down. Caddo Schools does not condone and strongly opposes the comments made by the student. While we cannot speak to individual student disciplinary actions, administration has addressed the situation.”

“Latin/African-American” Republican Party Leader In Texas Blasted By White Lt. Governor For Calling Colleague “Typical Ni&&a”

Black Texas Republican Blasted By White Guy For Using N-Word

Here’s a story you don’t hear everyday, a Black person blasted by a white person for calling another Black person “the n-word“.

According to NYDailyNews, the Chairwoman of the Galveston, Texas Republican party, Dr. Yolanda Waters, is being pressed to resign after texts were leaked revealing that she referred to a Black colleague, J.T. Edwards, as a “typical ni**a”. Despite being a Republican, Waters identifies as “Latina/African-American”. She blames the ni**a-naming on a typo…

“I usually type very fast, and in this case, I moved too fast to see that the word was there,” she wrote in a statement posted on Facebook and shared with local media. “I made the typo because I did not proofread my text. I do not believe it is appropriate language to use in speaking about a fellow African-American.”

While there is already a LOT to unpack here we’d be remiss to leave out this little detail.

One of the loudest voices calling for Dr. Waters to resign over this ni**a-ry exchange is her Republican colleague Dan Patrick, the Lieutenant Governor of Texas.

While sista Waters and brotha Edwards are clearly under the influence of GOP glamoring, and we can argue about whether or not Waters qualifies for the “I can say ni**a” sweepstakes, it’s VERY strange to see a white Republican like Dan Patrick bubbling over with righteous indignation over two Black people saying the word his people created.

What say you? Should Dr. Waters kick rocks for her “typo”?

Paul Pierce Ordered To Pay $100,000 To Man He Called “Racist”

2019 just gets crazier and crazier every day.

According to TMZ, Paul Pierce has been ordered to pay $100,000 to some clown who was harassing him at the Conor McGregor vs. Khabib fight back in October.

Christopher Mostello is seen in the above video having a confrontation with Pierce who claims that the overeager security guard has giving him a hard time while trying to get back to his seat. Subsequently, Pierce called Mostello a racist.

Mostello claims the former NBA baller had gotten out of pocket and physical with a female security guard and he stepped in to address the situation.

The video went viral and Mostello says he’s suffered damage to his good name by way of public embarrassment, harassment and ridicule. The judge ordered Pierce to appear but never heard from him, so the default judgment of $100,000 was awarded to the security guard.

The idea of paying a white authority figure who has been accused of a racially-motivated abuse of power is trash, but why the HELL didn’t Paul show up to court???

Looking For Justice: Nassau County Executive Calls For Investigation Into Alleged Police Brutality Caught On Video

Community Leaders Rally Behind Freeport Man Following Alleged Police Brutality

Officials are now calling for an investigation into what many are saying is a case of police brutality, which happened at the hands of multiple Freeport Village police officers.

According to reports from News 12 Long Island, a video of the altercation looks to show the man–confirmed to be 44-year-old Akbar Rogers by the Freeport Village attorney–fighting with the group of officers near a house on Seaman Avenue. In the footage, Rogers can be heard calling out for help while several officers are seen punching him in the head, yelling for him to “stop resisting arrest.”

During the altercation, a taser can also heard being used. According to the Freeport Village attorney, Rogers ran away from police as officers were trying to apprehend him. The attorney went on to say that Rogers was wanted on an outstanding warrant for aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle, along with a separate alleged case of physical harassment.

While authorities say the man led officers on a police chase on Monday, Rogers’ son, Rahquell Rogers, denies his father was involved in the chase as he doesn’t own a vehicle. He also insists the officers seen in the video should be fired.

“If my dad wasn’t a built… well-stable man… I think that they would have literally killed my dad,” Rahquell said. Rogers told News 12 that the officers dislocated his arm and had him subdued, going on to say that the officers were excessive.

Now, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran is calling for an independent investigation into the arrest of Rogers. Mayor Robert Kennedy is also requesting an investigation, whose son was one of the officers in the video, according to Freeport Village spokesperson Brian Finnegan.

The Nassau District Attorney’s Office says it is reviewing the matter, but Freeport Police Benevolent Association president Shawn Randall said in a statement that the organization stands behind the officers in the footage.

“I am confident that when the judicial process is complete and all facts are presented, it will be confirmed that our officers did their jobs in accordance with the law,” Randall said in the statement.

All of the officers involved in this incident remain on active duty.

Making It Rain On Them Hoes: Kennesaw State University Cheerleader Awarded $145,000 In Anthem-Kneeling Lawsuit

Kennesaw State University Student Settles Lawsuit For Kneeling During Anthem

Colin Kaepernick‘s kneeling during the national anthem in protest of social injustice and state violence against Black people inspired a nation of millions to kneel beside him in solidarity.

Like Kaep, some of those who knelt with him suffered consequences from higher ups who were made uncomfortable by seeing Black men and women speaking truth to power.

Enter now-former Kennesaw State University cheerleader Tommia Dean. According to the Marrietta Daily Journal, Dean filed a lawsuit against the Atlanta-area college claiming that Cobb County Sheriff Neil Warren and former Republican state Rep. Earl Ehrhart persuaded then-president Sam Olens to keep the cheerleaders off the field during the National Anthem to kneecap their righteous protest. Dean sued all three white men for using racial motivations to violate the law and trample her rights.

Newly uncovered documents show that Dean’s lawsuit was recently settled when the Georgia Department of Administrative Services broke her off a check for $145,000.

“A compromise has been reached,” the agreement states. “The intent of this agreement is to buy peace of mind from future controversy and forestall further attorney’s fees, costs, or other expenses of litigation, and further that this agreement represents the compromise, economic resolution of disputed claims and, as such, shall not be deemed in any manner an admission, finding, conclusion, evidence or indication for any purposes whatsoever, that the KSU defendants acted contrary to the law or otherwise violated the rights of Dean.”

Of that $145,000 reward, $93,000 of that goes to Tommia personally, the other $52,000 is set aside to pay all her lawyer fees.

Back in February, a judge dismissed the sheriff and the then-president saying there was no proof of racial animus. That decision was appealed in regards to the sheriff and remains an ongoing legal matter.

Shoutout to Tommia Dean for standing HER ground.
