Jennifer Aniston might have been saved by the birth certificate. Saved by the Bell alum Tiffani Thiessen revealed Monday that she auditioned for the role of Rachel Green on Friends back in the day. “Did you know I tested for Friends, for Jennifer Aniston?” the 44-year-old actress said on SiriusXM’s You Up With Nikki Glaser. “I was just a little too young. I was a little too young to the pairing of the rest of them.” Coming off of six years playing pop culture icon Kelly Kapowski, Thiessen was only 20 years old when Friends premiered in 1994; Aniston was 25, the youngest of the hit series’ six leads. Thiessen quickly rebounded from missing out on the NBC sitcom, instead landing on Beverly Hills, 90210 with a memorable run as Valerie Malone. By  DEREK LAWRENCE, October 01, 2018

#Slavery #SlaveTrade   #African-American  #BlackAmerican #Black History In the late 15th century, the advancement of seafaring technologies created a new Atlantic that would change the world forever. As ships began connecting West Africa with Europe and the Americas, new fortunes were sought and native populations were decimated. With the native labor force dwindling and demand for plantation and mining labor growing, the transatlantic slave trade began. The Transatlantic Slave Trade was underway from 1500-1866, shipping more than 12 million African slaves across the world. Of those slaves, only 10.7 million survived the dreaded Middle Passage. Over 400 years, the majority of slaves (4.9 million) found their way to Brazil where they suffered incredibly high mortality rates due to terrible working conditions. Brazil was also the last country to ban slavery in 1888. By the time the United States became involved in the slave trade, it had been underway for two hundred years. The

As a nation, we own approximately 80 million and acquire another 1 million each year. Anyone who has stared into the beseeching eyes of a pup who wants nothing more than to pass time on a welcoming lap or have her ears gently scratched knows that these are far more than cherished pets. They are family members. They should be a source of joy – not of danger. But what many people don’t realize is a new danger associated with pets that are misleadingly labeled as “rescues.” Unscrupulous distributors take advantage of Americans’ well-known love for dogs and their empathy for an underdog. As a result, the United States has become a dumping ground for foreign “puppy mill” and “rescue” dogs. We import an estimated 1 million dogs annually from Turkey, several countries in the Middle East and as far away as China and Korea, according to the National Animal Interest Alli

“I used to walk down the street like I was a fucking star,”  Lady Gaga  told  Rolling Stone  for  her first cover story  in 2009. She was talking about her state of mind before her big breakthrough the year prior, but by the time she spoke to  RS , Gaga didn’t need to pretend. She had become a bona fide megastar and an heir to the pop throne, just like the Madonnas, Janets, and Britneys before her. And it was all thanks to the self-fulfilling prophecy of her debut album, boldly titled  The Fame . Prior to  The Fame , Gaga was languishing in New York’s Lower East Side as just another hopeful. The Manhattan-born Stefani Germanotta dropped out of NYU, where she studied music and would perform piano ballads at the legendary, nearby Bitter End. She embedded herself in the club scene, launching Lady Gaga and the Starlight Revue with Lady Starlight. The pair’s pop-burlesque show paid tribute to the Seventies and helped to mold Gaga’s onstage persona, the same one the world would meet in

# WhitePrivilege  #IbramXKendi  #ElijahCummings  #AfricanAmerican #Blackmen  #Racism  By Ibram X. Kendi   Director of the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University   theatlantic.com Like so many other black men in America, Elijah Cummings died too young. I had a 30-minute ride to the train station. I nestled into my seat, opened my phone, and saw that Representative Elijah Cummings had passed away. I gasped and covered my mouth. The driver peeked at me in his rear-view m irror. He saw me shaking my head and whispering what many Americans whispered last Thursday:  He was only 68 . My mind turned to my father, whom I had just left at a hotel in Princeton, New Jersey. Dread burned in my chest. To get my mind off my father’s mortality, I started reading obituaries for Cummings, who will lie in state today at the U.S. Capitol. The more I learned about the gentleman who would not yield, the more my chest burned for his family, for my family—for a
