Abbott Elementary’s Quinta Brunson shared with her social media followers a request that was asked of her. In light of the recent school shooting, she said people were asking her to write a school shooting episode into Abbott Elementary. She wrote, people are that deeply removed from demanding more from the politicians they’ve elected and are instead demanding entertainment. Please use that energy to ask your elected officials and nothing less. She then shared an actual screen shot from her DMs. Why do you think people are more comfortable making this request rather than voting or peacefully protesting?

With weather like that, it’s important to protect your skin and Friday May 27 is National Sunscreen Day, so WHUR’s Shawna Mizelle asked a dermatologist about the myth that Black people don’t need sunscreen.
Dr. Melanye Maclin broke down the facts and everything you need to know about sunscreen this summer.
Is it true that Black people don’t need sunscreen? Why or why not??
Dr. Maclin: FALSE! Black skin, although increased color from more pigment producing cells called melanocytes, must use daily sunscreen! All shades of black are just as susceptible to damage as any other race.
Black skin can still get sunburn, premature aging effects causing wrinkles and even skin cancer, especially melanoma.
Why do you think this myth is so widespread?
Dr. Maclin: From a historical basis, our traditional Black family mindset has always thought and shared for many generations that our darker skin color protected us from damage. Honestly, many still believe this to be the case hence why ongoing sunscreen information is needed.
Can Black people get sunburnt?
Dr. Maclin: ABSOLUTELY especially from Ultraviolet B (UVB) to skin during excess exposure while out in high sun times (10am-4pm). Think of the “B for Burnt”. Ultraviolet A(UVA) plays less of a role in burning as more damage causing early aging (fine lines and wrinkles..think “A for Aging”). Regardless, both can cause Black skin to burn.
What risks are posed when Black people do not wear sunscreen?
Dr. Maclin: The risks are same in all races and nationalities who do not use sunscreen. Black skin can still get a sunburn, develop early aging signs (fine lines and wrinkles), sun exacerbated skin rashes (Ex. Lupus, photodermatitis) and skin cancer, especially melanoma.
Melanoma is very serious and is found mostly on acral areas of our body (scalp, ears, nose, palms, soles, between toes). This can go unnoticed or think it is a common mole but can be very aggressive resulting in potential death from spread to organs. Critical to get a full skin check once a year by your doctor, preferably a dermatologist. You can also personally take pictures of any dark spots to keep track of colors and changes in size or irritations.
Sunscreens you recommend? How much SPF?
Dr. Maclin: I highly recommend daily use of any Broad Spectrum Sunscreen which contain essential ingredients that protect against both UVA and UVB rays.
Effective Sunscreens should contain at least 30 SPF (Sun Protectant Factor). Higher are better and up to 97% block UV rays but none are 100% . They should also be water-resistant although no sunscreens are fully waterproof. They must be reapplied every two hours if outdoors even on cloudy days and if sweating or in water.
If sensitive skin or allergic to any of the chemical ingredients, look for suncreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide which coat skin that physically block rays.
Not using any sunscreen is NOT an option and only wearing light weight long sleeve protective clothing and wide brim hats do not replace daily importance.

Suspected gunman in the Texas school shooting is dead as authorities now search for a motive.
Federal law enforcement officials say three adults were also among the dead. It is not clear if that includes the gunman. Governor Greg Abbott said the gunman has been identified as Salvador Ramos who was from the area. 
Authorities say Ramos apparently killed his grandmother prior to coming to the school where he opened fire on several classrooms. The children killed are in grades 2nd through 4th.
Officials did not immediately reveal a motive. But Governor Abbott said the shooter was likely killed by police officers and that he acted alone.
President Biden is set to address the nation later tonight to discuss today’s tragedy. In the meantime, flags at the White House and at federal buildings are flying at half-staff in honor of the victims.
We examine the circumstances around the latest shooting and ask why does this keep happening.

ESPN reports the team bought land in Virginia for over 100-million dollars.
World Health Organization adviser Dr. David Heymann says it’s unlikely we’ll see a widespread transmission of monkeypox: “This is not COVID… it does not spread in the air and we have vaccines to protect against it”.
Monkeypox isn’t a new disease. The first confirmed human case was in 1970, when the virus was isolated from a child suspected of having smallpox in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Monkeypox is unlikely to cause another pandemic, but with COVID-19 top of mind, fear of another major outbreak is understandable.
Health officials are concerned that more cases will arise with increased travel.
Monkeypox appears to spread through sexual activity or very close contact.
Heymann says the current leading theory is that the disease was transmitted sexually, at two rave parties held in Spain and Belgium.
More than 90 cases of monkeypox have been confirmed so far, more than two-thirds of which are in Spain or Portugal.
Though rare and usually mild, monkeypox can still potentially cause severe illness. Monkeypox symptoms include fever and body aches as well as swollen lymph nodes and a rash, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Thirteen people in all were shot Saturday at the Tops Friendly Market in a predominantly Black neighborhood of Buffalo.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The white man accused of killing 10 Black people at a supermarket in Buffalo appeared in court Thursday, standing silently during a brief proceeding attended by some relatives of the victims after a grand jury indicted him.
Payton Gendron, 18, wore an orange jail uniform, a mask and handcuffs. As he was led out, someone shouted “Payton, you’re a coward!” from the courtroom gallery. He is being held in jail without bail.
Assistant district attorney Gary Hackbush said the first-degree murder indictment, which covers all 10 deaths, was handed up Wednesday.
Thirteen people in all were shot Saturday at the Tops Friendly Market in a predominantly Black neighborhood of Buffalo. Authorities are continuing to investigate the possibility of hate crime and terrorism charges.
The single features Atlanta rapper, JID.
The 2 minute and thirty second song is available for streaming on Youtube, Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, and Amazon Music.
The singer also has a residency in Vegas aimed to continue through December of this year.
The money will be available to 100 students at HBCUs.
The Waymon Wester scholarship which was named after Travis Scott’s grandfather for his dedication towards Black academic excellence started it’s first class of recipients in 2021.
“Waymon Webster was a Dean of the Prairie View A&M graduate school. My grandfather wanted me to take it all the way through college, I feel there is a power in education so to be able to give someone the opportunity to fulfill that dream as my papa thought for me is amazing.” – Travis Scott
For this, they will be donating $10K to each student who finishes off their scholastic career with at least a 3.5 GPA.
The move becomes one of Scott’s public efforts since the Astroworld festival which resulted in the deaths of ten people.

Parks who previously held a peach on Real Housewives of Atlanta left the show after it was revealed that she started damaging rumours about Kandi Burrus and husband, Todd Tucker, as it related to Porsha Williams.
The revelation which happened during the season 9 reunion was groundbreaking after a tumultuous season trying to figure out, “Who said that?”
Since leaving the Atlanta housewives franchise, Phaedra has still managed to garner screen time. She starred on Marriage Bootcamp in 2020.
Parks is also slowly making her way back to Bravo. Her most recent role in Season 2 of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip signified that her relationship with BRAVO TV is still alive.
Her cameo on Real Housewives of Dubia is another sign and has fans excited. Parks even trended on Twitter.
“Give me the tea honey, I’m very thirsty today,” Parks can be seen saying in the trailer.
The show which airs on Bravo is set to premiere on June 1st.
