Making a leap with a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• Evel Knievel and Kanye West have agreed to use a mediator to help settle a legal dispute involving West’s music video featuring inspiration from the stunt artist. Knievel is charging trademark infringement and damage to his reputation. Proving he even has a reputation may be the biggest leap Knievel has ever made.
• Now the family of murder victim Nicole Brown wants a cut of the proceeds from O.J. Simpson’s cancelled “If I Did It” book. The book rights were recently awarded to the family of murder victim Ron Goldman. Sounds like the perfect scenario for a special edition of Family Feud.
• Toys “R” Us has been slapped with a lawsuit by a Black customer charging she was racially profiled by the store. The Bronx grandmother claims security guards stopped her at the exit to check her bags, but non-Black customers were permitted to walk out freely. The woman is seeking $400 million in damages. Big Mama’s not playing.
• Researchers with Yale University and the University of Hawaii at Manatoa released a report stating overweight kids face serious stigma. According to the analysis, kids as young as 3 are stigmatized by peers, parents and teachers—giving them life experiences similar to people living with cancer. Maybe the kids should trade junk food for cigarettes.
