Chris Brown Calls Out Jay Z And Compares Himself To Trayvon Martin

 How's this for controversial: Chris Brown apparently doesn't understand why he is vilified by the press, but Jay Z "gets a pass" for stabbing someone.
That is just one of multiple eyebrow-raising comments the 24-year-old R&B star made in the cover story for the Oct. 14 issue of Jet magazine. When discussing his rocky relationship with the press, Brown named-dropped Jay Z, who he sees as someone "accepted by White America."
"This is something I've been dealing with for the past maybe five years," he told Jet, per CNN. "Anybody with a voice – Tupac, Michael Jackson, the Notorious B.I.G. – gets formatted … except maybe for Jay Z, who is accepted by White America because he shakes hands and kisses babies. No disrespect, because I'm a fan, but nobody brings up the fact that he stabbed somebody and sold drugs. He gets a pass."
In 2001, Jay Z pleaded guilty to stabbing record producer Lance "Un" Rivera at a 1999 listening party in Manhattan. Brown believes the "Magna Carta" rapper got off easy for this, but he himself still can't move past the 2009 Rihanna assault.
"I got to the point where it's only so much you can take from the master, you feel me?" he told Jet. "I've taken my fair share of lashings. I've dealt with the media. Instead of being an artist, I've been called a woman beater; I've been insulted in public and judged. And being able to not want to kill yourself at the end of the day is what made me say, 'F**k it.'"
The Virginia native even went so far as to compare himself to Trayvon Martin.
"I identify with Trayvon 100 percent as far as living in 2013 and still dealing with blatant racism," he told the magazine. "This generation is so used to racism that it's normal; we don't care. We aren't on drugs or catching AIDS, but they still look at us as ni**as."

Gunmen storm Kenyan shopping mall, at least 22 people killed

Gunmen stormed a shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya this afternoon Saturday September 21 killing at least 22 people in what could possibly be a terrorist attack. An eyewitness claimed the gunmen told Muslims to stand up and leave the mall and that only non-Muslims would be targeted. By the time they finished shooting indiscriminately, at least 22 were dead and at least 50 people injured.
One survivor said and that the attackers started from the Westage mall ground floor and made their way to the top. He said they had grenades and AK-47 rifles and he saw at least five of them. Local TV stations reported that the gunmen took hostages as soldiers and local policemen surrounded the mall. Another survivor said he was shot at by a man who looked like a Somali.
The Somali militant group al Shabaab had previously threatened to attack hotels, nightclubs and the Westgate mall, which is one of the biggest malls in the city, popular with the city's expatriate and foreigners...but there's no official confirmation for now that the group is behind this attack.
Security guards were seen wheeling out bloodstained bodies in shopping trolleys as soldiers continue to comb the mall looking for the gunmen. Kenyan Red Cross said at least 20 have been killed and more casualties were still inside the complex.
