Monday morning breakfast specials served with MultiCultClassics Minutes…
• Guess who’s making visible and measurable progress creating diversity in their efforts? Hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan. Statistics show increased hate crimes targeting Hispanic immigrants. Apparently, some folks aren’t satisfied simply terrorizing Jews and Blacks.
• The media is attempting to make progress in its coverage of missing females. After criticism that missing White women receive national news coverage while minority women get next to nothing, the disappearance of a Black and Hispanic pregnant woman in Philadelphia is being reported by major sources. Then again, it’s disturbing that the bigger story seems to be the enhanced media attention versus the missing woman.
• Hardee’s is offering “The Girls of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition Cups” with the purchase of any large drink or combo meal. Somebody tell Hardee’s they’re not Hooters.
• Rap-Up is hyped as the first hip-hop magazine for teens (although there are plenty of titles that might dispute the claim — the late YSB, Word Up! etc.). The creators are brothers Devin and Cameron Lazerine, 20-something suburban White guys. "Most of these rappers are coming out of the projects and even though we didn't come from that, we can relate," claims Devin. Well, they got the hustle part for sure.
• OJ Simpson got busted. Simpson showed up at a sport collectors convention in Illinois and proceeded to sign autographs, charging $100-$125 apiece. Unfortunately for OJ, the convention rules prohibited uninvited celebrities from participating. Simpson managed to sign over 100 autographs before being evicted. He’ll no doubt use the cash to fund his continued search for slain wife Nicole’s real killers.
