Ahmaud Arbery’s Shooter Called Him Racial Slur After Firing

A disturbing revelation comes to light as Ahmaud Arbery’s shooter was revealed to have used the N-word after firing his gun.

While it has already been reported that the three men involved in the senseless murder of Ahmaud Arbery — Gregory McMichael, Travis McMichael, and William “Roddie” Bryan Jr (who recorded the murder)– are presently facing Judge Wallace E. Harrell in a hearing, further details have come to paint an altogether disturbing picture of the shooting’s aftermath. A Georgia Bureau of Investigation detective took the stand to provide his testimony, and he fielded a question about a particular quote uttered by Travis McMichael, as heard by Bryan Jr.

Prefacing that the quote came from McMichaels and McMichaels alone, the detective elaborates. “Bryan says that after the shooting took place, before police arrival, Arbery was on the ground. He heard Travis McMichael make the statement “fucking n***er.” A somber silence follows as the weight of the violent word sinks in.

Though a final verdict on whether further charges will be pursued has been reached, this latest revelation certainly paints a bleak picture — one in which Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael, and William Bryan Jr clearly held racial prejudices, with the former openly unafraid to voice the depth of his hatred aloud. A disgusting truth, but one that may play a pivotal role in ensuring that Ahmaud Arbery receives the justice he deserves. Look for further developments on this case to follow, and should you be interested in contributing to Arbery’s memory, there are means of doing so here.

NASCAR Driver Kyle Larson Suspended After Using Racial Slur

Kyle Larson was on an iRacing Livestream when he said something he immediately regretted.

NASCAR certainly isn't a sport that gets written about a lot on here but sometimes, something happens in the sport that either makes your jaw drop with excitement or shake your head in disappointment. Last night, the latter happened.

One of the rising stars in the sport, Kyle Larson, was on an iRacing Livestream that was being broadcasted on Twitch. Larson didn't know he was being recorded at the time and dropped the N-word, which as everyone should know by now, is a big no-no. The clip of Larson saying the slur immediately went viral and once NASCAR found out about it, they suspended him indefinitely. In fact, Larson's team, Chip Ganassi Racing, suspended Larson without pay and now, the driver is at risk of losing his sponsors.

"Last night I made a mistake and said the word that should never, ever be said, and there's no excuse for that. I wasn't raised that way. It's just an awful thing to say, and I feel very sorry for my family, my friends, my partners, the NASCAR community and, especially, the African-American community," Larson said in his apology. "I understand the damage is probably unrepairable, and I own up to that. But I just wanted to let you all know how sorry I am."

It remains to be seen what will happen to Larson's career but for now, things aren't looking too good for him. If his sponsors decide to leave him, he could be gone from NASCAR permanently.

Djimon Hounsou Comments On His Son Being Called The N-Word

Djimon Hounsou appeared on a podcast earlier this week to comment on how his 10-year-old song being called the N-word affected him.

Djimon Hounsou was a guest on Sirius XM’s The Clay Cane Show this past week and took the time to comment on his 10-year-old son being called the N-word by another child. Hounsou, well-known his role in Blood Diamond, is set to appear in A Quiet Place Part II, whenever it releases. However, Hounsou admits to having a lot more on his mind than just the delay of his movie.

“I went to big up my son from a soccer game one time and he says to me some other kid called him the N-word. That’s how early it starts,” explained Hounsou. “He [his son] is wondering, ‘Why would you have to call me that word?’, I was wondering, ‘When do they start to get treated like a second class citizen?'”.

When asked how he handled the situation, Djimon was upset, admitting that it’s hard to discuss these things with his child because he doesn’t live with him. Djimon is currently in court requesting joint custody of Kenzo with his mother.

Given the context, Djimon told his child not to take the hate personally, offering to him that “some people just feel insecure, and feel like they have to call you derogative words”.

Remember, Kenzo is only 10 years old. Food for thought.

“FaZe Clan will not tolerate any form of hate speech,” the statement says. “It is imperative for us to foster an inclusive environment in this community. Due to his actions, we are suspending Dubs indefinitely from representing FaZe Clan while in professional competition, streaming, or posting on his social channels.

“We are requiring Dubs to go through sensitivity training and proactively requiring all FaZe Clan members to go through sensitivity training immediately.”

Dubs last apologized with a statement of his own on Twitter: “I can’t even describe how sorry I am. I did not intend to be hurtful in any way but what I said was still hurtful, insensitive, and wrong. The word shouldn’t have been in my vocabulary and I apologize from the bottom my heart to everyone I offended by using it. You deserve better.”

After being signed by FaZe last year, Dubs qualified for the Fortnite World Cup in both the solo and duos divisions.

Myles Garrett Reveals What Mason Rudolph Allegedly Said Before Fight

Myles Garrett is adamant that Mason Rudolph used a racial slur.

Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns was suspended for a large chunk of last year's NFL season due to a brawl he had with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph. Garrett ended up striking Rudolph with his own helmet in what was one of the craziest fights we've seen in any sport. Recently, Garrett was reinstated into the league and has been speaking out about what happened.

While talking to Mina Kimes of ESPN, Garrett alleged that Rudolph called him a "stupid N-word" and that's what ultimately started the fight.

"When he said it, it kind of sparked something, but I still tried to let it go and still walk away. But once he came back, it kind of reignited the situation," Garrett said. "And not only have you escalated things past what they needed to be with such little time in the game left, now you're trying to re-engage and start a fight again. It's definitely not entirely his fault, it's definitely both parties doing something that we shouldn't have been doing."

Garrett has made this allegation in the past although it was quickly denied by Rudolph. Many of Rudolph's Steelers teammates have stood by him throughout this ordeal so it will be interesting to see how the league reacts to what Garrett is alleging.

50 Cent Calls Out News Reporter For Lakers Racial Slur After Kobe Bryant’s Death

“She gotta get fired for that.”

The horrifying news of Kobe Bryant’s death impacted the world this weekend. The 41-year-old basketball legend was killed in a tragic helicopter crash in Calabasas, California, taking the lives of nine people in total. Among the victims were his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, and others. People have been entering their Kobe tributes all over social media, reacting to the depressing news and sending love and light to the entire Bryant family. During one report of the crash on MSNBC, a reporter apparently flubbed her words when speaking about Bryant’s professional team, the Los Angeles Lakers. Instead of their team title, the host referred to them as the Los Angeles “n***ers”, which is honestly the worst thing she could possibly have said.

“Did this bitch just say that on the air?” asked 50 Cent, reposting the audio following his Kobe Bryant tribute post. “She gotta get fired for that.” The reporter in question, Allison Morris, has denied using the N-word on air but critics are begging to differ. Her explanation muddies things up even more… In her words, she accidentally combined the Knicks and the Lakers to say “Nakers” but that’s not what we all heard. “Where the fuck is @oprah when this kind a shit happens?” asked 50 Cent, continuing to slander the talk show host and exposing the identity of the reporter who made the mistake.

Do you think the slur was intentional? Do you think she deserves to be let go?
