The Sunday rap sheet in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• Rapper Remy Ma was arrested for—surprise, surprise—alleged involvement in a shooting outside a trendy nightclub in Manhattan. The rapper was charged with assault, attempted murder and possession of a firearm. Some reports indicate the shooting victim is a pal of the rapper. “I ask everyone to keep an open mind,” said the rapper’s attorney. “Things are not always as they seem.” Hmmm. A rapper with a gun shot someone. Seems pretty clear cut here.
• There’s racial controversy brewing in Major League Baseball, as Gary Sheffield claimed New York Yankees skipper Joe Torre treats Black players differently than Whites. While former Yankee Darryl Strawberry defended Torre, former Yankee Kenny Lofton remarked, “All I can say is, Sheffield knows what he’s talking about.” Wonder where biracial superstar Derek Jeter falls in the mess.
• A British newspaper reported that Ford Motor Company wants to sell its Volvo line. Let’s hope the automaker has more success selling Volvo than it does selling Ford cars.
