Throwback Special: Oprah Winfrey Visits Racist Atlanta Town Where No Black Person Had Lived For 75 Years

In the following video, Oprah Winfey took her talk show to Forsyth County- Georgia, a town only about 30 miles north of Atlanta, to tackle race relations.
 
In 1987, Forsyth County was proudly an ‘all white’ county and a hotbed for racism fueled by the KKK. At the time, not one black person had lived there for 75 years!

Needless the to say the town ‘locals’ were NOT thrilled to see Oprah (or her show) which had only been on air 5 months at the time. In true KKK fashion they put on their robes, flew their confederate flags, protested and chanted “Go Home N-gger!”

The real tragedy is 30 years later not much has changed in terms of the race relationship between blacks & whites, especially in the south. The question is will it ever?

Demetrius Shipp Jr. Talks His Tupac Role In “All Eyes On Me”

Up & coming actor Demetrius Shipp Jr. had some humongous shoes to fill as Tupac in the new Benny Boom directed film, “All Eyes On Me.” In the video interview below, he speaks on preparing for such an undertaking. 

From the looks of the film’s trailer, Demetrius did a fine job filling those 2Pac shoes. The Internet streets would be ablaze right now otherwise. 

Hope to see the movie out soon. It’s definetly another NWA -type box office smash if they promote it right. 

Dr.Phil Speaks To Burke Ramsey; Brother Of JonBenet Ramsey

The older brother of 90’s child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey, spoke to Dr. Phil exclusively for the 20th year of his sister’s unsolved death. Let me just say this, something is definitely off with this kid.

Burke Ramsey held a devilish grin the entire interview and seemed very unbothered, even at times somewhat jovial while discussing the dreadful details of his little sister’s 1996 murder.

(Side Note:) I know some people claim to have a nervous grin, but this guy seems a bit too smiley.

Throughout the years, Burke was considered a suspect, (along with their parents who claimed to have found a ransom letter at the time of JonBenet’s alleged kidnapping.) The cops just might need to revisit this case based on this interview. It’s just weird. But then again I’ve always thought it was something ackwardly strange about the whole Benet family. The whole story is strange. Just strange.

If there were ever any doubts, this sit down with Burke Ramsey has undoubtedly cemented any lingering suspicions.

The second part of the interview will air on September, 14. Check your local tv listings for times.
