Ahmaud Arbery’s Killer Allegedly Used a Racial Slur After He Shot Him

Published

More is evolving in the Ahmaud Arbery case. We learned today that William “Roddie” Bryan told investigators that he heard Travis McMicheal call Arbery a “f***ing n***er” after he shot him three times.
This fact was uncovered during a preliminary hearing by GBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Richard Dial. Dial also testified during a cross-examination that Bryan mentioned the slur during a May 13th GBI interview, but never mention it before.
McMicheal has a history of using racial slurs. There were several instances where he’s used the word on social media. CNN reports that he used it to message someone that “he loved his job because there ‘weren’t any N-words anywhere.'” Another example would be when he responded to an Instagram message saying “things would be better if someone had ‘blown that N-word’s head off.'” All of these instances were before the fatal death of Ahmaud Arbery.
Dial also testified that Bryan has used racial slurs in messages as well.
“There’s evidence of Mr. Bryan’s racist attitude in his communications, and from that I extrapolate the reason why he made assumptions he did that day,” he states. This led Dial to believe that Bryan had a prejudice against Arbery from the jump.
“He saw a man running down the road with a truck following him, and I believe he made certain assumptions that were, at least in part, based upon his racial bias.”

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend Share News of the Loss of Their Unborn Child

October 2, 2020
Early Thursday morning Chrissy Teigen and John Legend let the world know of the loss of their unborn child. In a heartfelt and heartbreaking post to social media, Teigen described her and husband John Legend’s “deep pain you only hear about.” She went on to talk about how the couple does not typically name their children “until the last possible moment after they’re born, just before (they) leave the hospital,” but somehow they fell on the name “Jack.”
View this post on InstagramA post shared by chrissy teigen (@chrissyteigen) on
The heartbreaking news comes just days after first being admitted to the hospital for what she described as heavy bleeding. However, two days ago, she assured fans that both her and baby were healthy and doing well. Teigen, no stranger to social media, continued to engage her following, giving brief updates along the way, when shortly after midnight she shared photos of her and John in the hospital cradling their newborn in the immediate aftermath.
While her husband has remained largely unproblematic and scandal-free, Teigen has been the frequent target of scathing criticism – much of which is completely valid. From her ridiculing Black hair, to her seemingly mocking intimate partner violence when she referenced Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez’s incident, Chrissy Teigen has been the focus of such harsh vitriol that she has threatened to quit social media altogether on multiple occasions. Sharing such personal news with the world may come as a surprise to many.
Overwhelmingly, however, the internet’s response has been positive and embracing. Celebrities and non-celebs alike have offered words of support to the couple as they go through this difficult time. See both the model’s post and the heartwarming responses to it below.
❤️ sending my love and warmth to you and your family ❤️

Actor Chadwick Boseman, best known for his role as King T’Challa in the box office smash “Black Panther” passed away from colon cancer Friday.
The actor was first diagnosed with stage 3 cancer in 2016, but remained active in his career with much of his work being released post-diagnosis. A statement from his family confirmed that he continued to work despite his cancer progressing, befitting a man who brought America’s first Black superhero to the silver screen.
As the news of the actor’s death spread, many took to social media to share their condolences.
My heart sunk reading this news, say it isn't so was my immediate reaction…

The world and I only just got to see what a fantastic actor he was (can't believe I'm saying was) and an even better human.
My deepest condolences to his family.
May you rest in power, Chadwick. pic.twitter.com/hBhpSzSmGS
I keep thinking about my 3-year-old in his Black Panther costume. How he wore it almost every day when he got it, refused to take it off. The way he walked around saying “I’m the Black Panther.” How happy it made him. What Chadwick gave us was immeasurable. What an enormous loss.

I just heard that Chadwick Boseman died of colon cancer. Such horrible news. He was such an incredibly talented actor and lovely person. He played Jackie Robinson in "42" and we hear this horrible news on Jackie Robinson day. So awful. Life is short. Be kind. https://t.co/UI383fHtFw

I can't put into words what a loss this is. I'm so grateful for everything that Chadwick Boseman brought us and for all the ways in which he will live on in the heart of every Black child searching for a superhero. https://t.co/lqDB9gdmsX

The tributes continue to flood in as news of his passing continues to ripple through. Read the official statement from his family below.
— Chadwick Boseman (@chadwickboseman) August 29, 2020
“It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman.
Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, and battled with it these last 4 years as it progressed to stage IV.
A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much. From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy.
It was the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther.
He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side.
The family thanks you for your love and prayers, and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time.”

Nas Attacks Doja Cat In New Song, “Ultra Black”

Published

Nas seems to be scrambling for relevance. In a newly released song, he included a line that fired a shot at Doja Cat… who nobody was talking about.
“We going Ultra Black, Unapologetically Black, The opposite of Doja Cat”
Nas, Ultra Black

Now, if y’all will recall, Kanye was doing his able-bodied best to undermine multiple socio-political movements just a few weeks. So it’s interesting that Nas mentions Doja instead of the much more active threat, but to each her own. Twitter agrees:
nas really speaking on doja cat being “anti black” like he wasn’t beating on Kelis (a whole black woman) for years… pic.twitter.com/8LNAAlqfcX
