The changing times in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• The city of Largo in Florida sparked controversy by firing its longtime city manager after he revealed plans to undergo a sex change. The City Commission voted on the action after a six-hour hearing where supporters insisted the city manager would do the job just as well after becoming a woman. A few commissioners argued they chose to fire the man not because of his sex-change decision, but because he violated their trust and caused public disruption. Seems they missed an opportunity to reduce the city’s budget, as Largo probably would have paid the city manager less money as a woman.
• Rapper Tony Yayo was busted for beating up a teen wearing the “wrong” t-shirt. The 14-year-old was sporting a shirt for Czar Entertainment, a rival music company, when the rapper assaulted him. Yayo allegedly displayed a gun, threw the kid against a wall, demanded to know why he was wearing the shirt and slapped him around. The kid’s mom later hollered in a statement, “It’s a shame that 50 Cent & Tony Yayo could feel comfortable slapping and physically attacking an innocent 14-year-old minor that they market and promote their records to. … This is a cowardly act on my son who has done nothing to warrant the verbal and physical abuse he received … This should be looked as a step away from child molestation.” In that case, Yayo better call R. Kelly for legal advice.
