I honestly feel that some people, not all, but some are like the family dog. Waiting around the table hoping for a scrap to fall to the floor. The opportunity to get a quick morsel of what their people are partaking. In this particular case I guess I’m the pooch but not in a bad way. This Story just seemed to be so unbelieveable. So thanks Charlamane the god for giving this Mo Donkey of the day. An Oakland college professor has been placed on administrative leave after asking an Asian student to “Anglicize” her name, saying the pronunciation “sounds like an insult.” student Phuc Bui Diem Nguyen, a Vietnamese American freshman, by her given name, claiming that it too closely resembled a profanity in English, But on the second day of trigonometry class last week during the summer semester, Nguyen said she received an unsolicited email from her professor. “Could you Anglicize your name? Phuc Bui sounds like an insult in English,” the professor wrote on Wednesday.
Nguyen Offended Decided to reply to her professors Email.
“Hello Professor Hubbard,” she wrote. “Your request for me to ‘Anglicize’ my name feels discriminatory and I will move forward with filing a complaint with the Title IX Office if you can not refer to me by my given birth name. Best, Phuc Bui Diem Nguyen.”
Now there are 2 sports that no matter what, will be considered a sport dominated by other than black, Hispanics or others, however you may categorize or once again self Identify. Hockey and Nascar. But it seems that Nascar has always held the stigma of ours not yours. So when a noose was found in the garage of the only full time Black Racer, I can only say, I’m not surprised. It’s only a matter of time before it came out. Bubba Wallace, isn’t a treat on the track obviously until Nascar banned the confederate flag. Wait, earlier Ray Ciccarelli, a part-time driver of the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series, spoke out against NASCAR's decision in a widely read Facebook post on Wednesday, saying he wouldn't return after the 2020 racing season is over, citing the company's decision to ban the flag.
Ray was quoted "Well its been a fun ride and dream come true but if this is the direction Nascar is headed we will not participate after 2020 season is over , i don't believe in kneeling during Anthem nor taken ppl right to fly what ever flag they love," Ciccarelli, 50, wrote on Facebook.
He added, "I could care less about the Confederate Flag but there are ppl that do and it doesn't make them a racist all you are doing is f------ one group to cater to another. Ray has raced 4 years, he was in 19 Races and has zero wins. Hmmmmm Rays thoughts and statement carries no impact, Ray thanks for participating in Nascar but you are a nobody and you suck
The mother of the 5-year-old boy who drowned in Carl Crawford’s pool during a party last month claims the former Dodgers star outfielder is responsible for her son’s sudden death and she’s now suing him for over $1 million.
In court documents obtained by TMZ Sports, Liban Hersi is accusing the ballplayer-turned-record producer for not having proper safety measures or fencing around the pool that her son drowned in on May 16.
