Baltimore Orioles star Adam Jones called a “nigger,” has peanuts thrown by Red Sox fans

Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones had a bag of peanuts thrown at him by a Boston Red Sox fan Monday, during a game in which Jones was also allegedly called a “nigger” multiple times, USA Today reported.

“A disrespectful fan threw a bag of peanuts at me,” Jones told USA Today, “I was called the N-word a handful of times tonight…

“I heard there was 59 or 60 ejections tonight in the ballpark. It’s unfortunate that people need to resort to those type of epithets to degrade another human being. I’m trying to make a living for myself and for my family.” Read more (5/2/17)

Muslim-American organizers raise funds to repair vandalized Jewish cemetery in St. Louis

After vandals toppled more than 100 tombstones in a Jewish St. Louis cemetery over the weekend, two New York-based Muslim-American activists stepped up to rally support.

They set out to raise $20,000, a sum they had reportedly exceeded hours after launching their Muslims Unite to Repair Jewish Cemetery initiative.

Should they raise more than the cemetery requires for repairs, Sarsour and El-Messidi will earmark the leftovers for any future damage done to “vandalized Jewish centers,” according to their crowdfunding page. Read more (2/22/17 6:38 AM)
