A Mississippi mother is being charged with the murder of her 3-year-old son after the body of young Tristan Robinson was found in her electric oven.

It is unclear whether the son of Terrie A. Robinson was killed before being placed in the oven, but he did suffer some head trauma and his body was still warm according to authorities.

The drama continues for Biship Eddie Long as its been reported that his New Birth Missionary Baptist Church has laid off two-full time employees and will be reducing salaries by 10%.

The church also initiated a “pilot program” trimming the work week down from 5 to 4 days.

New Birth released a statement saying, “Like numerous other churches and charitable organizations across Georgia and the rest of the country, New Birth and its faith community have been impacted by the nationwide downturn in the economy.”

However it remains unclear whether Long’s salary will be affected.

The statement read that Long’s compensation is determined by an independent board, “in conjunction with advice and counsel of New Birth’s CPAs and tax advisers, all in accordance with IRS regulations.”

Minister Louis Farrakhan is clarifying a statement he made about pop singer Rihanna.

News hit the net that the Nation of Islam leader called her performances “filth” and criticized her fans for being “swine.”

The singer heard of the diss herself and took to her Twitter page.

Since then a rep for Farakhan has released a full transcript of the speech to AllHipHop to prove that it was taken out of context.

The full transcript is below.

“…When the Mahdi (Reformer) comes, he kills the swine. It doesn’t mean he just goes around killing pigs, but the demon in you is akin to the behavior of a swine. Now listen. Just see if it fits. Try it on. If it don’t fit, it aint you (colloquial language for humor).

Swine love filth. How about you?”

“I saw my beautiful sister the other night at the Grammy awards. Rihanna. My poor sister, she’s dressed almost like -with a pair of draws. And she got her legs wide open and just grinding away.

“Ahhh, look at Rihanna, Go on, girl”

If that didn’t revolt you, you’re beginning to be a swine. When you can sit down and listen to somebody and every 3rd word is you “m-f” this. And they start talking about the act that is done in private and they bring it out in the public and make (it) so low down and filthy ; and you’re sitting there laughing at a filthy damn joke and then the next day you go to church and sing in the choir, you’re a swine.. Swine love filth. How about you?”

There were also reports that the Minister called homosexuals swine as well.

GAHANNA, OH  — The mother of a black Ohio fifth grader assigned to play a slave for a social studies lesson says the school should be more sensitive.

Principal Scott Schmidt of Chapelfield Elementary in Gahanna (guh-HA’-nuh) called Aneka Burton to apologize for what happened to her son, Nikko. Schmidt said no harm was intended.

Ten-year-old Nikko says the class was randomly divided into “masters” and “slaves” and that the only other black student got to be a master. Burton says her son refused to take part in a simulated slave auction and was sent back to his desk.

Burton says she appreciates the apology, but the exercise was inappropriate.

The school district said in a statement Thursday that officials acted promptly once the concern was raised.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — Ken Webber wears his redneck heart out in the open, for all to see. On his right arm a red, white and blue tattoo depicts his skin ripped open to reveal an American flag and the words “100 percent American.” On his left, the tears reveal a Confederate flag and the words “Pure Redneck.”

So when Webber was told to surrender the Confederate flag that flies from the CB antenna on his pickup truck — or be suspended from his job driving a school bus in Talent — the choice was easy.

Webber chose his flag.

“My flag will fly.”

“No one here is gonna tell me what I can and can’t believe in.”

Webber, 28, of Medford drives the kindergarten bus for Talent Elementary School.

He has been driving for First Student Inc., which contracts buses for the Phoenix-Talent School District, for the past four years. He also attends community college and is married with four young children.

Webber got the Confederate battle flag, emblazoned with the word Redneck, as a birthday present in 2009 from his dad, and has been flying it ever since.

But last month, school Superintendent Ben Bergreen saw it on Webber’s truck parked at the school bus yard in Talent and told Webber’s supervisor the flag had to go, or Webber had to go.

Rodney King was reportedly pulled over by police in Arcadia, California for running a red light the day before the 20th anniversary of the savage beating he received from the LAPD.

King was reportedly given a citation by police not for running the light, but for driving with an expired license and wound up calling a friend to take him and his fiancée home.

King was savagely beaten by four white police officers following a high-speed chase in a Los Angeles suburb on March 3, 1991. The nine-minute lumping was caught on camera by an onlooker and the footage eventually reached the entire world, touching off a strong debate on police brutality.

Despite the footage, the four officers were acquitted a year later, sparking huge riots in the Black community. Fifty-five people died, 200 were injured and the onslaught of lootings led to $1 billion worth of property damage in the LA area.

King, who was left with brain and kidney damage from the whooping, was eventually awarded $3.8 million in a lawsuit he settled with the city of Los Angeles.

At a 2007 showing of Tyler Perry’s ‘Why Did I Get Married’ in a Dover, Delaware movie theater, the manager of the cinema is alleged to have told a large group of patrons to “be quiet and behave.”

The “condescending tone” was cited as racist because he addressed Black customers.

Manager David Stewart was accused of speaking to audience members like children at a “minority-themed” movie.

The Delaware Supreme Court overturned a decision by the state Human Relations Commission that Stewart’s comments were racist, but the Carmike 14 Theater had to pay nearly $80,000 for violating the Delaware Equal Accommodations Law.

Each patron listed in the complaint was awarded $1,500 in damages. The theater was fined $5,000 and had to pay $20,000 in plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs.

DES MOINES, IOWA  — Most Americans haven’t heard of Herman Cain, the former head of a chain of pizza restaurants who is considering seeking the Republican presidential nomination.

But in Iowa, home to the nation’s first presidential caucuses, Cain has caught the attention of conservative activists influenced by the tea party movement who aren’t bothered by candidates who have succeeded in business, but have never held a public office.

Cain, 65, from suburban Atlanta, has visited Iowa several times recently and will return to Des Moines on Monday for a conservative forum. Cain likely will express views similar to other speakers, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, but he’ll offer a vastly different resume.

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — The boy and girl whose bodies were found stuffed into luggage and thrown into a south Florida canal are believed to be the children of a woman found dead in a trash area last summer, police said Friday.

Investigators said they have positively identified the children’s bodies found Wednesday as siblings, Jermaine McNeil, 10, and Ju’tyra Allen, 6. Police believe their mother, Felicia Brown, is the woman whose body was found in a West Palm Beach trash area last August.

Police said Brown was identified in part because she had tattoos bearing her children’s names.

Sgt. Nicole Guerriero, a spokeswoman for the Delray Beach Police, said the three lived with Clem Beauchamp, who investigators say is their only suspect in the deaths. He has not been charged with their slayings, but is being held on an unrelated weapons charge.

Police said they didn’t expect any charges in the case for several days, at the earliest. Meantime, the release of the victims’ identities Friday horrified friends and relatives, including Brown’s sister, 22-year-old Margaret Gissone.
