Another ugly example of America’s collapsing standards of public behavior reportedly unfolded aboard a cruise ship in Florida, where authorities say an allegedly intoxicated couple responded to a simple request for quiet by forcing their way into a family’s cabin and attacking everyone inside, including a 9-year-old child. Gannon Jacox, 29, and his girlfriend Brooklyn Hicks, 28, were arrested Saturday evening at Port Canaveral after the ship docked. Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey laid out the outrageous details in a Facebook post that left little to the imagination. According to Ivey, Jacox and Hicks “were apparently arguing loudly after taking...

This year has seen a dramatic change in tone in the global conversation about the transatlantic slave trade. The demand for formal apologies, debt relief and financial compensation from nations and institutions that benefited from slavery has become increasingly forceful. In March, a resolution was passed at the United Nations recognising slavery as "the greatest crime against humanity" - though the United States voted against the resolution and every European nation abstained from the vote. The UK, which alongside Portugal dominated the transatlantic slave trade, has consistently rejected the idea of paying reparations, which is perhaps unsurprising given estimates of...

Florida deputies are on the hunt for modern-day tomb raiders who have been visiting cemeteries across parts of the U.S. to steal from the dead, investigators say. "What a horrible person you are if you decide to steal from the dead," Orange County Sheriff's Office Corporal Cole Brazee said Wednesday. According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, the trio of criminals, who are from the Indianapolis area, have been heading to cemeteries and breaking into niches containing cremated remains and taking family heirlooms that people leave behind for the departed loved ones. "Typically, in these mausoleums, inside of a niche,...

Anyone still clinging to the mythical belief slavery is an evil of the white man in which only minorities suffered, must be dispossessed of that illusion. Jameela Jamil, born in Britain to an Indian father and Pakistani mother, moved to the U.S. in 1996—she’s an actress who spent most of her early career working in a range of activities, getting hired only after misrepresenting prior experience, putting her on the road to Hollywood. Recently, on TalkTV, she went on a racist rant, condemning British white people as “the most evil people in history,” due to their colonization around the world...

A shooting involving multiple suspects and five people shot at Virginia State University prompted a campus lockdown early Saturday. The shooting happened near the university’s Quad Annexes, and both campus police and Chesterfield County police are actively investigating. County police said officers discovered five people suffering from gunshot wounds outside campus dormitories when they arrived. The five victims were transported to hospitals, and one initially listed as having life-threatening injuries has been upgraded to critical condition, county police said. The other victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries, police said. The university said in a statement that the shooting involves “multiple suspects.” The...

California Post on Google Beverly Hills diners hoping to chow down on expensive filet mignon were treated to a different kind of beef at Steak 48. The messy melee exploded between two women at the pricey Beverly Hills steakhouse, captured on video obtained by TMZ. As forks clinked and calming music played, the two women brutally yanked each other’s hair as confused employees tried to stop them and entertained diners watched. "Oh my god, I love this,” one woman could be heard saying in the video. Both brawlers sported fancy dresses without undergarments as they attacked each other. They rolled...

I swear Rod Liddle was smiling down on me last week, as I found myself tussling with an editor. I’d written a sentence containing the word “Chinamen.” She wanted me to remove it, because, she said, “Chinaman” is widely acknowledged to be a racial slur. In my view, words have no single intrinsic meaning. Within limits, they can mean a variety of things, differing according to context – not least the tone of voice in which they’re delivered. Even “Yes” can mean “No,” when said by an Englishman trained in the subtle art of oblique speech. Sure, “Chinaman,” given a...

South Africa has adopted the forms of modernity without the psychological development to sustain them. The images are harrowing. South African mobs wielding machetes and clubs, forcing foreign nationals from their homes, looting their shops, and, in some cases, ending their lives. In recent months, vigilante violence has driven thousands of immigrants from countries including Nigeria, Ghana, and Zimbabwe out of South Africa, with Nigeria and Ghana repatriating around two thousand of their citizens on government-sponsored flights. The victims have been subjected to a level of brutality that shocks the conscience. South African authorities, overwhelmed or indifferent, have largely stood...

A Milwaukee County judge has sentenced a 28-year-old woman to 24 years in prison for setting a fire that killed her boyfriend's elderly neighbor last year. Rashamba Claybrooks was sentenced this month for her role in the fatal April 2025 apartment fire near 30th and Capitol that left 71-year-old Sam Nash dead after he was found unconscious inside his unit.

A bitter battle has erupted over one of California’s wealthiest enclaves, with activists from neighboring Oakland calling for the predominantly white city of Piedmont to be “canceled.” Oakland resident Jesse Rosemoore is behind the provocative “Cancel Piedmont” campaign targeting the 1.7-square-mile city of roughly 11,000 people that is surrounded by Oakland but maintains its own schools, police, parks and tax base, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Rosemoore, 44, began handing out “CANCEL PIEDMONT” stickers and selling $10 T-shirts bearing the slogan 14 months ago. The professional transit planner now regards the campaign as a way to tackle the sharp...

So, this black woman moves to a 99% white only town and the black community is pissed cuz she's happy. Check this out. "Now, y'all know I've been talking about leaving the east coast, which I did, and now I'm over here on the West Coast. And I'm going to tell you what's crazy.

A phenomenon known as Black Fatigue is growing among many Americans who are tired of the rude and anti-social behavior in parts of black culture, and the unspoken privilege it creates. Among all the viral memes and online trends one sees while scrolling through social media, one term has been coming up more regularly: “black fatigue.” The term has been around since 2015, and appears to have originated from a board on a site that has become the Twilight Zone of the internet (a site that is “both shadow and substance, of things and ideas”), 4Chan. As with many post-modern...

According to court records, the video shows a teenager pointing a gun at another child inside the Kroger along Crawfordsville Road in Speedway on Sunday.

Teen Brawl Erupts at NYC McDonald's, Prompting Security Crackdown Last updated 1 hour ago The footage shows organized juveniles clashing inside a New York City McDonald's, part of a pattern of 'teen takeovers' advertised on social media at fast-food spots and malls. Affected locations in Brooklyn, Queens, and beyond now ban unaccompanied teens under 20 and hire private security to restore order. Online reactions call for tougher enforcement and accountability, while some link the disruptions to policy debates over policing and prisons, leaving residents worried about safety in public spaces.

A Mississippi police officer is being called out after taking an aggressive approach to finding out why a group of Black women was kicked out of a restaurant. Tiffany Wilson and her friends were going to celebrate her mother’s birthday at Sippin Silo Wine Bar in Southaven, Mississippi, on Saturday. “What should have been a simple visit to a local establishment to celebrate my mother’s birthday became one of the most RACIST, humiliating and unacceptable customer service experiences I have encountered,” Wilson said on Facebook. A Seating Issue According to the business, the party tried to reserve a table for...

Indiana prosecutors have revealed no charges will be filed over the death of a 75-year-old Tim Hortons customer, who died following a bust-up with a drive-thru manager. Anita Grayson suffered a fatal flare-up of congestive heart failure following the May 13 fight in the Fort Wayne coffeehouse – and her death sparked an investigation as authorities initially struggled to rule whether it was accidental or a homicide. Allen County prosecutors on Friday revealed no charges would be filed, clearing any staffers of wrongdoing, according to a report seen by The Post. Grayson, a mom of four, charged into the coffeehouse...
