Dear Trump: You Can Cherish America's White Nationalist History; I Detest It!

Dear Trump: You Can Cherish America's White Nationalist History; I Detest It!

I do not cherish America's white nationalist history, as you said today, Trump . . . that we must cherish "all" our history and all sides are equally guilty in the Charlottesville tragedy. I've lived my life to end America's racist history because it is totally out of sync with my values. White nationalism may be your values, Sir Trump, but not mine. 

NEVER ever once did President Barack Obama incite hatred in America, as you have done -- even trying to undermine his presidency with your birther lies. So don't be dragging him and me, too, into your collective "we" speech that this tragedy today is not about you, or not about Obama. We tower over you in character and our actions are not divisive and hate-filled, as yours have been.

Sen. Ted Cruz Calls Out Nazis, The KKK & White Supremacists In Act Of Domestic Terrorism

Writing for Vogue, Lynn Yaeger asks 'Why Is President Trump Coddling the White Supremacist Movement?  Large numbers of Republicans are criticizing Trump's refusal to condemn the white supremacts, neo-Nazis and Klan members convened Saturday in Charlottesville for a 'Unite the Right' rally in which a car driven by 20-year-old Ohio man James Alex Fields killed one and left 19 injured, five in critical condition on Sunday morning. 

One Republican Trump supporter Senator Ted Cruz of Texas issued the condemnation Trump should have issued. From his FB page, Cruz states that "these bigots want to tear our country apart, but they will fail.".

Young White Nationalist Christian Men Proudly Marching In Charlottesville Demand Their Historical Privilege

During a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va. on Saturday, former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke and Trump supporter said the event is in line with President Trump’s “promises.”

“This represents a turning point for the people of this country. We are determined to take our country back,” Duke said. “We are going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in. That’s why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he’s going to take our country back.”

FORMER LEADER OF THE KU KLUX KLAN DAVID DUKE SPEAKING TO TRUMP ABOUT CHARLOTTESVILLE: "WE ELECTED YOU."

FORMER LEADER OF THE KU KLUX KLAN DAVID DUKE SPEAKING TO TRUMP ABOUT CHARLOTTESVILLE: "WE ELECTED YOU."

Writing for The Atlantic, Matt Thompson reminds us: The 'Unite the Right' gathering wasn't a Klan rally at all. It was a pride march. 

The shameless return of white supremacy into America’s public spaces seems to be happening by degrees, and quickly. It wasn’t until most journalists left the conference of the innocuously named “National Policy Institute” in November that my colleague Daniel Lombroso captured Richard Spencer leading the attendees in open Nazi salutes. Spencer’s intention—to make normal that gesture and all the sentiments that underpin it—is no more secret than the identities of his tiki torch-wielding bannermen. "I don't see myself as a marginal figure who's going to be hated by society,” Spencer said to Daniel. “I see myself as a mainstream figure.”

New York Magazine has an excellent overview of the details about what happened in Charlottesville, Va.

Child Bride Marriages Increase In Syrian Refugee Camps: Christiane Amanpour Investigates

While Trump assures Americans that he will be tough on letting any Syrian refugees into America, more than half a million Syrians have sought refuge in neighboring Jordan. CNN's Christiane Amanpour visits the Zaatari refugee camp outside Mafraq, Jordan, asking the key question about why our hearts have gone cold. Vanity Fair shares her investigation. 

More than 80,000 Syrians live in Zaatari, a sizable number of the more than 600,000 Syrians who have poured into Jordan since 2011. Amanpour introduces a topic not discussed about the worst side effects of the Syrian war: the rise of early marriage for girls, victims of poverty-stricken parents who often truly believe their daughters will be safer with a husband. 

Amanpour's Vanity Fair article is not fully available online, but she shares her thoughts in this February 2017 piece for CNN.

W Magazine says goodbye to Edward Enninful and he says goodbye to them in his new role as editor-in-chief of British Vogue. Forgetting for one moment all the problems in America's cities and heartland, too, 'Defy' is an American love story straight out of 'West Side Story'.. 

From the beginning of his groundbreaking tenure at W, departing creative and fashion director Edward Enninful has not only created wildly exciting fantasies, but also fearlessly tackled important issues of race and gender in his fashion editorials, along the way opening doors for more diversity in fashion. For his last September issue, he didn't disappoint. Casting the likes of Binx Walton, Aleece Wilson, Hiandra Martinez, Jasmine Sanders and more, he's collaborated with Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott for Defy', which W editor in chief Stefano Tonchi says is "destined to become another one of my favorites." Enninful's ultimate message?

Carolyn Murphy Talks Artisan Crafts & Mammamurphy.com, Lensed By Matthew Sprout For InStyle September 2017

One of fashion's favorite mega models, '90s star Carolyn Murphy is a progressive woman on the move. Murphy is long associated with American style, with her flair for wearing a white tee with denim cutoffs, but throwing on a sterling silver cuff. Murphy is lensed by Matthew Sprout, with styling by Laura Ferrera.

Murphy is surprisingly low-maintenance for a model, writes the September issue of InStyle. She has no team of handlers and her Instagram feed features shots of her gardening or riding her horse Doc. Of course, Carolyn Murphy can become a sex bomb for Tom Ford, dominating steaming editorial pages with the top fashion industry pros. But glam is not her persona, and her love of artisan crafts -- including Detroit's Shinola brand, where she became the women's design director after flying there to shoot a brand campaign with Bruce Weber -- is the foundation of her next venture. Along with launching Shinola's 'Argonite' print magazine, débuting this fall. 

Meet mammamurphy.com, Carolyn Murphy's future artisan-products website. "Everyone calls me Mamma Murphy," she tells InStyle. "It's been my nickname forever."

Katy Perry Is Feeling Free In Steven Klein's Cover Story For W Magazine September 2017

Super talent Katy Perry sings in the shower, where she gets some of her best songwriting ideas, says the star of W Magazine's September 2017 cover story. It's a three-pronged creative energy, Perry explains about her songwriting idea. "From Transcendental Meditation, where I rest and kind of restart my mind. Or during a massage. Or showering. I always have my phone on standby when I hop out of the shower."

Katy Perry roars for W's September cover with the words: "I feel very free."

Perry is styled by Edward Enninful in his departure issue heading out for his new editor-in-chief position at British Vogue. Fashion photographer Steven Klein delivers a glam Perry wearing Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello, Miu Miu, Prada, Bottega Veneta, Tom Ford, and Brandon Maxwell. Model posing alongside American singer is Louis Bubko.
