A year after Cardi B slammed political commentator and television personality, Tomi Lahren,’ and threatened to “dog walk” her for her controversial views on 21 Savage‘s U.S. citizenship status (click here to read), the two are at war again – this time over insensitive remarks Lahren made regarding the Minneapolis riots stemming from the death of George Floyd (click here to read).

The police officers responsible for the man’s death are still free and uncharged and, as a result, citizens have taken to the streets via protests and riots to demand justice.

Taking to Twitter Thursday (May 28), Lahren reprimanded the ‘Twin City’ residents for their handling of the subject matter and condemned them for reports of looting.  Her comments landed on the desk of Cardi, who rebutted with fiery remarks of her own.

As we reported here, African American Harvard graduate and former Marvel editor Christian Cooper is calling for a ‘cease-fire’ of sorts against Amy Cooper – a White woman who called the police to falsely report he had threatened her in Central Park after he asked her to obey city orders to leash her dog on the public property.

Inciting conversations about racial privilege in the process, Christian – during a media blitz that’s seen him converse with the nation’s top TV and print outlets – argues some people have taken their defense tactics to the extreme by wishing death on the woman (who has already lost her job as a result of the backlash).

After empathizing with her predicament on CNN earlier this week, Christian and his sister Melody took to Thursday’s episode of ‘The View’ (May 28) to reiterate the empathized stance.  This time, going on record to say he accepts Amy’s apology for their May 25 altercation.

The pervasiveness of racism has been spotlighted once again in Minnesota.

For, just days after the shocking death of George Floyd at the hands of a white police official ignited discourse about the Black experience in the US, another shocking clip has gone viral.

In jaw-dropping scenes, Tom Austin, the managing partner of F2, is filmed telling Black men that he would call police on them.

His reason? He didn’t believe they they had access to the business building they were in.

This despite being told several times by the young entrepreneurs that they too occupied the space as tenants for their social media company – Team Top Figure.

Watch the infuriating scenes below…

Blige, Naomi Campbell, and more – are calling for men responsible to be arrested and charged for the incident.

Now, more celebrities are following suit:

As of time reported, no arrests have been made in the case of the death of George Floyd – an unarmed Black man in Minneapolis who died after a local police officer handcuffed him then pinned his knee onto the man’s neck (restricting his ability to breath).

Although officers were quickly terminated from the precinct (as we reported here), protests erupted in the ‘Twin City’ as the County Attorney Mike Freeman has not officially announced intent to arrest or charge them.

That very fact led the city’s mayor, Jacob Frey, to hold a press conference and pressure Freeman to detain the four.

Harvard graduate and former Marvel editor Christian Cooper may prove himself to be a superhero for Amy Cooper – the very woman who called the police to falsely report he had threatened her in Central Park.

The May 25 occurrence was filmed via cell phone by Christian (as we reported here) and, after being shared by his sister to Twitter, received thousands of shares across social media – not only causing a viral sensation but also igniting conversations around racial privilege.

The backlash against Amy was swift, with Twitter branding her #CloseUpKaren and #CentralParkKaren while her employer – Franklin Templeton – terminated her job less than 24 hours after the clip surfaced online (despite her public apology).

Now, just days after the incident, Christian has taken to multiple news outlets to call for a ‘cease fire’ against the ailing Amy.
