That's my day. You know what else I'm excited for? What you already know what I'm excited for. I gotta hear it and the good news and bad news come on, so give it to me er all right. This segment was especially prepared for WHYY nice Initiative News and Information Community Exchange. All Right, last week, two security officers in Macy's located at the Wannamaker Building in Philadelphia. We're sad you all heard about this. One officer died of his injuries and Tyrone Tunnel, thirty years old, who was actually the assailant, allegedly was attempting to steal hats from the store. The twenty seven year old security officer, Eric Harrison, in another guard approached Tunnel and then the altercation broke out and then Tunnel left the store. The investigator said that Tunnel returned back to the store about fifteen minutes later there and then witnesses report that Tunnel was looking for Harrison and the other guard. Tunnel found both of the guards and pulled out a knife and stabbed Harrison in the neck, to which he later succumbed to his injuries. The other guard was stabbed in the face and the arm and was in critical but stable condition. Macy's was closed for about two days due to this investigation. UH and the guards took that that they had there. The security guards were unarmed and Macy's and Macy's the two guards that were under police security guards just not just but security guards. They were employed by Macy's. According to the Philadelphia Police, so Tunnel fled on the Frankfort Frankfort line train and when he when he fled, he actually was tossing the knife on the tracks and the SEPTA cameras caught it. Said they have like over thirty thousand cameras, so they did catch that. Tunnel is being charged with murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangered another person, possession of an instrument of a crime, tampering with evidence, and retail bath. Tunnel did say that he did not have a knife, and there was another knife discovered in macy So it was actually two knives that they discovered. And I did see the interview with his mother and his aunt, which was so sad. He worked at Macy's about two years, would get up every morning on time. I mean he's thirty years old and just going the business. But this does make you think like they have no You're asking them to put their life on the line for someone who may steal, but they're not they don't have any they're not armed, Like what do you do? I mean pepper spray no, no, nothing, not even a taser. Yeah, I think what was when I heard this story. It was a lot of things that was kind of running through my mind, especially when it comes to like the crime itself, like because he went in there, they took the merchandise from him, and they could have said they could have called the police and he could have been taken into custody, and then these two security guards would be okay, you know what I mean. It's just I mean, I know there's like summary offenses and you know, and the district attorney had set certain things in place, but so many different questions going through my mind right now, and there's no it's just unbelievable that this young man, who is a hard working man working two jobs is no longer here. Do you also wonder what the training is, because now I do know that they tell you the security guard do not do not try to apprehend them if someone goes into the store just like them, you know, smash and grab, like they can take it and just let them go. You call the police. But that's it, you know. So it's like, so, what are you employed just as a watchman? I don't know. It's just it's a well, I think some of these because I work down here, so a lot of these thefts, these retail thefts, have have become I guess the staff and the security and all that they have become numb to it. And it's just like, what's the point in going through the procedures of you know, the normal protocol of having them arrested and taken into custody and nothing happens, and then they're back a few hours later in the store shoplifting again. So it's just yeah, tragic. All right, Well on to some more bad news. So do you guys know what wait, wait, the name is good news and bad news. We may have some good news. Well no, it's now it's not well for some it's good bad. I don't know. This one right here is not good news. So do y'all know what the oldest HBCU is? Uh? Change? I mean it's howard change? Change that? The first don't change, I don't change university shout out to change. It's Chaney University, founded in eighteen thirty seven. Unfortunately, Cheney University has been placed on probation by an accreditation agency. Again. It was the second time you up on your thing, you hope on your good news or your bad dus all right, So the agency is the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Basically, because of inadequate proof of meeting several required standards, including including ethics and integrity, design and delivery of the student learning experience, and planning, Chaney will remain accredited while on probation until March first, which by that time they must respond to the Commission. The Commission also stated that the university fell short in media requirements and financial planning and budget processing compliance with laws, regulation and commission policies back in I believe they just got renewed in twenty nineteen, so you're right, they just got renewed back the charter or something like that. Yep. So now they have until March first to come correct. Michael Cord Michael Cord, Cheney alum and the founder of Heating Cheney's Call, said that the university will withstand this latest storm. Cheney University has withstood much worse storms, much worse storms court set and he said people must remember that it was founded twenty eight years before slavery ended. So at first it was Cheney, that's the first HBCU in the country, and then Lincoln. Cheney is first in Lincoln, the second. Yeah, shout out to historically black OneD see that this is the thing. We gotta protect these colleges. I mean they were founded and created for us specifically. And uh, shout out to the divine nine. You know a lot of my sins, my sins uh went to Cheney. Right. We pledged at Cheney, you know, we pledged. They call it the bloody triangle. Right and fib Sigra Fraterney Incorporated was founded in Howard University, right and so January nineth, nineteen fourteen. And uh, the partner ring or right down you know that that that kind of you know piece that we all go to is Howard then Cheney. You know I went to Tuber University. So the ols of is shout out to evil epslam, But yeah, it's we gotta protect our schools. Man. Cheney is big on the yard with the divine non sororities and fraternities. And what do you think the fixes? I mean I clearly mentioned some of the problems, like the you know, budget is one. You know, compliance regulations like do they need to just like do a whole new staff. Do they need to do they may need to clean house, They may need to clean house. I think that they can be supported a little more in terms of funds funding. I don't really know what the environment is like down there, in terms of the school environment teaches administration, I don't know what that's like, so I can't really speak to that. But if this is an ongoing thing with the same if it's the same administration, then maybe they do need to clean house or they need again there might be money things, so they may need to be paid a little bit better. Right, It doesn't that goes to staff too, like exact right, right right for the funds. So yeah, all right, Well, this next story is about John Doherty, also known as Johnny doc News. That's why I said this one is this one's good bad. It depends on who's here. It depends, like some people may feel like, yes, you know. John Doherty, also known as Johnny Dock, was convicted on more than seventy counts in his embezzlement trial all right, making this his second guilty verdict and federal criminal trial in just two years. Doherty is the former Philadelphia Electrician Union leader for Local ninety eight. Doherty sixty three was convicted of conspiracy, embezzlement, and dozens of other charges. By a jury after a month long trial. Doc and co defended Brian Bureaus, which he was the local ninety eight former president, was convicted of using more than six hundred and fifty thousand dollars and union funds for personal use. According to reports, the money was used for items including home renovation, concerts, groceries, even a cookie tray for the christening of a relatives baby. Yeo, well it's on no cookies insomnia. Like was they confused? Like, I mean this is alleged. Yeah, all of this is alleged. The jury deliberated over several days. Uh. Dougherty is to receive sentencing in March, and he's also scheduled to face another trial in a third case involving an alleged extortion charge. Wait wait what So it's a third case coming up in March because the DA wanted him to be taken into custody and it was actually rejected and they said, well, we'll have sentencing for him in March during the same time for him to do his third case. Interesting, so he was a quit it, I believe, on three counts stuff. Wow yeah so ah man, all right, well that was your good news and your bad news from Classic Lady Sparkle.

So Nick Cannon and Zeus Network they are under some major fire for creating and promoting an event that seems to pick light skin women against dark skinned women. So Zeus, Nick and Zeus they held a live event at Las Vegas in December, on December seventh, and this was called Originally it was called bad Versus wild dark skin verse light skin. So after they started getting all this backlash from the original posts, they changed the dark skin versus Light skin to Chocolate Goddesses versus Caramel Goddesses. Well, when Zeus Network made the changes to the name, they posted the event flyer on their Instagram along with this caption that they thought was gonna make a difference. But they said, hey, beautiful people, our aim at hashtag bad versus Wild Las Vegas is to unify, celebrate, and laugh together as we explore the diverse tapestry of our community. Today, We're excited to bring you as shell filled with fun, music and empowerment with the beautiful Sukiana Goat and her Chocolate Goddesses along with mxr VSSA, which is Marissa Denay and her Caramel Goddesses. And then they close out the caption with this, let's come together, enjoy some good vibes, make some noise for our incredible performers. Remember we're we're here to break down stereotypes, not uphold them. Well, people was not buying that, Okay, they were just they were still calling them out and they were like, y'all. One person said, y'all didn't do anything but try to put a positive spin on colorism, and it's not working out for y'all. Somebody else said, as some h I can condone any ratchet in hood behavior, but I will not condone comparing any of my queens by color. We are all greatness. And then there was another person that said this whole idea should have been scrapped. They said, if the light skin versus dark skin wasn't enough, well no, they said it should have been scrapped. Scrapped. But Zeus Network and Nick Cannon, if that wasn't enough, that whole light skin versus dark skin thing, they held a bbw's versus Them girls that night. Also, So what do y'all think about this? I'm sure you know, I think one of the I mean, that's always been uh a sore spot for a lot of people, you know, when we talk about you know, you know, just colorism in general, right lined. I think it rehashes some issues between you know, uh two people, Yeah, within our within our own I don't know, I don't I don't know if he meant to for to be or get the response that he's getting now. I think it was just something that he's you know, I mean he's I mean, he has you know, his show, so I mean the show is contentious to a degree, but it's all in fun, right, and so I don't think it was was meant in a in a particular way. And you know, don't sleep on us brown folks. Don't sleep on us brown volte No. So yeah, I can actually agree with a lot of people that were in the comments section because it was just like, if we don't everything already have enough that divides us as a people, then you're you're going into you know, hitting uh, black women against each other by color. So I think it was just a little bit and poor taste that they kind of put that together. It was people that were also comment and saying like, oh, now that he's with Zeus's network, you know that's a black network, so they feel like they can do this after you know, he couldn't get away with it on other networks and what have you. So who runs that, I forget the person's name. I believe, Yeah, I believe you said because I can see why, you know, certain things black folks do that nobody else could do, you know, and I can see what they're saying. But no, you know, it's all good. I just was wondering, but you said it is a black networker. Yeah, well that that I forget who they said was the owners of zous Network, but they were like, you're not. Nick Cannon knew he wasn't gonna be able to get away with that anywhere else. You go to Zeus Zeus network. It's crazy. And then on top of that, the the bbw's versus slim girls, It's just like, I don't know. I honestly, I don't know who was coming up with those with those ideas, but they would just import his Okay, all right? So, uh, Jonathan Major, the assault trial has been going. It's going against his ex girlfriend Grace Jabbari is underway. Meanwhile, it's leaving many people puzzled about this. Okay. So during opening arguments, Assistant director, I mean assistant Assistant District Attorney Michael Perez, he made claims and this is during his opening arguments that, according to Grace Shabari, Jonathan Majors told her that he wanted to make seck wanted her to make sacrifices like Coretta Scott King and Michelle Obama did for their husbands because he is a Greek man. Hold on what is so? During the opening arguments, the the assistant district Attorney is saying, like, hey, Jonathan Major's told Grace h Jabbar worry that he wants her to make sacrifices like Coretta Scott King did for Martin Luther King and Michelle Obama did for Barack Obama for their husbands, because he's this great man. So the attorney also claimed that Jonathan used cruel quote cruel and manipulative, manipulative patterns of psychological abuse while he dated his acts, and Grace told prosecutors that Jonathan threw things at the wall out of anger, threatened suicide to keep her around, and also threatened to leave her when she would go out. So doing the trial, Megan Good has continued to stay by his side. Hold on one second, Hold one second, I just want to give Magan Good a round the lacrosse to hold him down. Thank you well, So keep keep that thought. But John the Majors is facing two counts of third degree assault, one count of aggravated harassment, and one count of harassment. The two have shown up hand in hand with many people questioning her support of him. In case you forgot Jonathan and Grace were returning back to his Chelsea apartment after dinner when Grace saw texts on his phone saying, quote which I was kissing you from another woman, And Grace grabbed his phone and turned into a tussle and police were called and all that and now we're here, So, uh, just the backtrack a little bit. Megan Good had continued to stay by his side. People's are so well, here's my question, because you have some black women in particular who are saying, like, this man clearly wants a white woman that to behave like a black woman. So why is Meghan Good still supporting him? You want to you want a white woman that acts like a black woman because he wants her to act like hold him down or whatever, or make sacrifices like Coretta Scott King. And they're saying, like, why did he pick black women when she's white. I think it's also to the point where it's a respect to that he gave high, you know, elite black women that he knows. But it's almost like how when you let's just say you are you know, you like the same sex, but the sex that you like of that gender has to look like a man It's like, well, why not to say the man? Do you know what I'm saying? Did you just yawn? I should have put the other one on hold? On hold? Where there you go? Go ahead? So well, I mean, I I just think that, like, I don't know, I just thought that little analogy, But that little analogy was like this was lame, Like why would you she She would never be like all right, I can see if you're like all right, I just need you to support me and hold me down. But this woman would never be a Coredit Scott or Michelle Obama like people are when you know, people are like, why don't you just go and get a black woman if that's what you want somebody to hold you down to that magnitude to the defense of that, you know, I guess do you understand what coredit Scott King and Michelle Obama have had to go through? Yeah? I think, yeah, it's just tongue in cheek. It wasn't like truly compared who compares to Corea Scott King? Who who who can compare to what black woman right now can compare to Coreta Scott kick Malcolm Oh, I was gonna say, Malcolm Max White, you know what I'm saying. I'm talking about right now because because she was mentioned right, and so I'm just kind of just I don't think nobody can compare to them, even Michelle Obama for that matter, Like you know, the typical person can't compare to them, which means in I I believe that it was just kind of like tongue in cheeks, like you know, this is you know when you talk about holding somebody down. This is what I mean. Again, I wasn't there. I don't know. I'm just just as a guy. I know for a fact that he wasn't truly comparing her to that. It's just, you know, I'm a little curious as to why it was even brow up at trial. But yeah, are they really in a relationship, Like it's not a pr son, is it. They're trying to say that, but they're saying, like Megan Good and Lorie Harvey, they the ones that is coming to the black man's rescue. That's Dayton. These white women got caught up in something and then now they got to be kept and save a black guy. Michael Michael B. Jordan's she saved him. He was getting all that. Uh wait, wait, wait not wait so she Wait, they save their reputation. No, not Loriie Harvey, Lork. Lorie Harvey saved his reputation out of all people. That's what they're saying. They said her, but didn't see HER's husband. Didn't he date a white woman before too? Oh god, I don't know. I think so before her, we wouldn't be having this conversation. If it was the other way around, it would be go, girl, gone, girl, you go, like, that's right, you let's talk about tomorrow. Tomorrow, what's her name? Tomorrow? Braxton's talk about her. Let's talk about her. They've been coming at her next to but that's a and Lupida. Oh yeah, they call that coming at because she went back to him. She went back to Tommy. But that's yeah. And they're coming at Lupida because now she's dating. That's what I got, Joshua Jackson. Because she is the pitime of black is beautiful. She is the pity me of black and the berry that sweet. She is the pitting me of black excellence. To me, somebody get doctor on the phone and everything. Bring him on. Yeah, I'm gonna reach out to doctor Umar come on the show. Yeah, yeah, it is what it is. She must have felt some type of way if she mentioned it to prosecutors for them to bring up during their closing argument. But that's what I'm saying. It was her like though she could be making that up, Like anyway, go ahead, I'm gonna lead out, all right, So lu Peter, I love you, so you can't. We're gonna have to talk about what's going on here, go ahead, all right. So this final story is it is like a not ade. It's like a nas you gotta editude, so you just sarn the music, all right, all right, But this this story is kind of like a not really a celebrity sizzle, but it's questionable, all right. So I'm not even gonna say the celebrity sizzle of the week. I'm just gonna say, Well, fifty has made some claims that his production company is working on a documentary about the sexual assault allegations that have been mounting against Ditty. Fifty share the information the same day that a woman claimed to be I'm just gonna say said as a trigger warning because this is all triggering, All the allegations against Diddy are triggering. But she was sayed by Diddy and horror Pierre when she was seventeen years old. The woman that is listed as A Jane Doe has accused them of gang raping her at diddy studio called Daddy's House in two thousand and three, but in a nutshell the lawsuit. In the lawsuit, Jane Jane Doe claimed to be an eleventh grader at the time when she met har Pierre in Detroit and then he flew her to New York in a private jet and then took her to the studio where she was drugged and gang rape, and the woman claimed to be a sulted so severely that her private areas were she was in pain, and she was on the floor in a fetal position after all this had taken place. But Diddy has spoken out ever since that last allegation. The last lawsuit was filed against him, and he said following this, following this, enough is enough. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation, and my legacy. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear, I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth. So if fifty cent does come out with this documentary, he's claiming that the proceeds will support sexual assault victims, which was kind of the celebrity sisslem. I'm a little torn about it, but let me just put this information out there. If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual violence and needs support, please contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline and one eight hundred sixty five six hope six five six hope And you haven't.
