(Photo: Courtesy of Attiyya Barrett) More Last week, a group of young African-American girls was kicked out of an aquarium gift shop by an employee, but, according to the group’s program director, Attiyya Barrett, “the racist lady did not win.” Several girls, most in their early teens, were trying to buy souvenirs of their trip to the Jersey Shore when they were tossed out by a shop worker. The girls were on a field trip to Jenkinson’s Aquarium with their summer program Princess to Queenz. They entered the shop on their way out of the aquarium but were told they were not welcome. Attiyya Barrett, who runs the program, posted about the incident on Facebook, and her post has gone viral, accruing 66 thousand shares so far.   “ My girls went inside the gift shop @jenkinsonaquarium and we were racially profiled and discriminated against!” she wr

(Photo: Ria Diyaolu via Twitter) More Like their first smile, their first steps, their first laugh — a child’s first scam is something a parent will cherish forever. In most cases, a kid’s first scam is entirely amateur, albeit adorable, like stealing cookies from the cookie jar, secretly staying up late to watch a scary movie, or maybe even hiding something they broke and feigning innocence when asked where it went. Six-year-old Caitlin, though? She’s a pro already, and it’s almost intimidating. If she’s pulling off scams at this level, it’s only a matter of time before they’re basing an  Ocean’s 8  sequel on one of her jobs. For her birthday, Caitlin was allowed to order a Barbie doll using her mother’s Amazon account. Under supervision, she did just that. However, later, she asked her mom if she could return to the website to track her package. This is when C

On  Keeping Up with the Kardashians ,  Kim and Khloé were still trying to make headway with Kourtney, who has not been getting along with her sisters. On last week’s episode, Kim, Khloé, and Kourtney got into an intense fight, which led to Kourtney saying that they are a “disgusting family” she’s “ashamed to be a part of.” That was after Kim had said that Kourtney was “the least exciting to look at.” Kim and Khloé wanted to get to the bottom of their sisterly drama, but it seemed as if every time they tried to hash it out with Kourtney, she would pay attention to her phone rather than than them. So, they decided to bring in a professional for “sister therapy.” Kourtney shared that she didn’t want to spend her time “around people that are mean” and “putting her down,” while Kim pointed out that Kourtney is always “anxious and insecure.” Khloé chimed in, saying, “It’s also an insecurity I’ve never seen from her before.” She also said that, though she and Kourtney have a special
