Egyptian American stand-up comedian Ahmed Ahmed tackles Islamophobia head-on, incorporating his Muslim identity brilliantly into his sets. Generally, he gets tons of laughs for poking fun at stereotypes of Arabs. Still, at one strange Florida show in 2019, the comedian lived through a surreal nightmare when an audience member called the police on him for organizing a terrorist plot. The joke that prompted this? Ahmed asked people in the room to clap if they were from the Middle East and said, “All right. We got a handful of us in here, nice. But, hey, it only takes one of us … to tell a joke.”

Former Los Angeles police detective Mark Fuhrman who was convicted of lying on the witness stand in the OJ Simpson trial three decades ago, is now barred from law enforcement under a California police reform law meant to strip the badges of police officers who act criminally or with bias.

Fuhrman, who is white, was one of the first two police detectives sent to investigate the 1994 killings of Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman in Los Angeles.

The slayings and Simpson’s trial exposed divisions on race and policing in America.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska.
