Man Erects Giant Middle Finger Next To Ex-Wife's House

"A Michigan man says he moved into a house next door to his ex-wife and erected a 12-foot-tall statue of the middle finger.
Alan Markovitz recently moved into the home in Bloomfield Hills, which is next door to where his ex-wife lives with her new lover, WJBK-TV, Detroit, reported Friday.

Markovitz told WJBK that he erected the statute to get even with the ex-wife's new lover."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

Sydney Leathers Auctioning Her What?!

"Sydney Leathers, the chick who turned her sexting relationship with Anthony Weiner into something resembling a media career, has really managed to stretch out her 15 minutes. But for Leathers, elongated infamy is one thing and elongated labia another. That's right, she's having labiaplasty. And she's auctioning off the excess skin to the highest bidder...".* Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola (host, TYT University and Common Room) break it down on The Young Turks.

"A white supremacist behind an initiative to turn a North Dakota town into a "white enclave" received some shocking news -- he's not 100 percent white. Craig Cobb, a 62-year-old man who has aimed to start a community for white supremacists and neo-Nazis, received some news that he wasn't too happy about.*" Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola of The Young Turks discuss.

SIGN THIS PETITION BELOW TO MAKE A CHANGE!!!
https://www.change.org/petitions/ucla...

(Yes, i am aware that palettes is spelled wrong. I already uploaded the video when I saw the typo lol thx for paying so much attention!)

https://www.facebook.com/SyStokesSpeaks

Being the cousin of Arthur Ashe, I feel as though it is my responsibility to uphold the strong voices of the Black Bruin community. This school has experienced unacceptable instances of injustice recently, and many people are not aware of what is happening at this university.

I am a proud Black, Cherokee, and Chinese student at UCLA. Thank you for watching.

The Last Black Bruins

In fall 2012, the total enrollment, graduate and undergraduate, for African American males at UCLA was 660 students. That's 3.3% of the 19, 838 other males enrolled here. Out of that 660 African American male students, 65% are undergraduate athletes. The number of entering male freshman students was 2,418; only 48 of them are African American. The graduation rates for African American males at UCLA is 74%... Which means out of that 48 freshmen last year... Only 35 are predicted to graduate.


When we were children, we learned how to mix colors with a paint brush
We learned that white mixed with anything makes it brighter
But we wouldn't dare mix anything with brown or black or else our entire creation would be ruined
What we failed to realize... was that the untouched dark section of the paint brush pallet became the symbol of the melanin in our skin
The painter only used us to write words that were dark enough to be noticed on a white background
So if words are all we are good for then don't you dare tell us to silence our voices when we choose to speak

Now you tell me that I should be proud to be at UCLA?
When only 35 of us are predicted to walk across that stage?
When most of us are dropping out from the lack of financial aid
While Judy Olian, Dean of Anderson School of Management just spent $647,000 on first class flights and hotel stays
But waiting for an apology is asking for the impossible
Because no snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible
But you tell me I should be proud to be a Bruin

When we have more national championships than we do black male freshmen
It's evident that our only purpose here is to improve your winning percentage
So now black high school kids can care less about grades, just as long as the number on the back of their jersey doesn't fade
And you tell me I should be proud to be a Bruin

But according to Professor Sander, 3.3% is far too many black kids
On his perfectly paved roads there are far too many black skids

This school is not diverse just because you put it on a pamphlet
But you'll name a building after Albert Carnesale who publicly opposes affirmative action
The action that can make our fraction on your demographic pie chart look more than just a second hand on a clock
It's all.... talk
Just to maintain this fraudulent reputation
Of this institutionalized racist corporation

They don't care about the cultural limitations of being a minority in society
So we have become our own painters... with our own pallets...
And we have voices that speak defiantly


So we IGNITE the flames to help us find the path to our future
Increasing Graduations, Not Incarcerations, Transforming Education because our numbers can't be any fewer
So don't be surprised that we have become rebellious for what has happened to us
When every black student in class feels like Rosa Parks on the bus
We are tryin to rewind time with role reversal as our revenge
Because we have no other choice when the university refuses to come to our defense

But we have come too far to let history repeat itself
Even when they are peeling off the dark fur of the Bruin pelt
Because our faces are just used to cover up from the public what's really inside
Revitalizing lies to perpetuate your disguise

Stop pretending that the wounds of our past have healed
We're not asking for a handout, we're asking for a level playing field
Those with less opportunity are fighting for their position trying to find their place
But those with privilege are hitting triples when they were already born on third base


So with all of my brothers' hopes and dreams that this university has tried to ruin
How the hell am I supposed to be proud... to call myself... a Bruin

Televangelist Tweets About Masturbation

Megachurch pastor Joel Osteen appears to have unintentionally and hilariously tweeted about masturbation. Probably expecting a negative reaction from his fellow Christians, Osteen deleted the tweet but not before screenshots were taken. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola (TYT University and Common Room), Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick?! and TYT Sports), and Steve Oh (TYT COO) break it down on The Young Turks.
