Essay 4559


Garden variety news in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• There’s a new bias lawsuit looming against Madison Square Garden, although this one doesn’t involve the New York Knicks and Isiah Thomas. Two Black women who worked as security supervisors charge that Garden honcho James Dolan is running a “boy’s club,” where they were denied promotions while young White interns who had sex with bosses advanced. Wonder what Thomas would have to say about these women and their accusations.

• Snoop Dogg felt humbled after being recognized at VH1’s fourth annual Hip Hop Honors. “These are guys that I grew up wanting to be like and learning their words and dreaming and hoping and wishing, and now they know who I am and they respect me and they say that my work has put me in the position that I can be commended—it’s unbelievable, I can’t believe it,” said the artist, noting the others who saluted him. “This is the best thing for us to happen for hip-hop, it’s positive. … These awards shows—never no violence it’s never negative, never anything in the media the wrong way, it’s always a great celebration of music and the artists and what they did.” Makes you want to go out and shoot a gun to celebrate.
