Kat Stacks Assaulted, Cowardly Attack Captured on Video
Kat Stacks Assaulted, Cowardly Attack Captured on Video
Beware all women; men are not what the use to be. I'm not a fan of the little girl Kat Stacks but the kids that did this need their arms broken at every joint. I realize there is the remote possibility that this is a publicity stunt setup by famed groupie 'Kat Stacks' but if this is real every man in the place needs their azzezz beat to within an inch of their lives for watching.

Alicia Keys Is Engaged -- and Expecting a Baby!
Wow, I was hoping this rumor wasn't true but I guess "where there's smoke, there's fire", but how do we wish them well given the future baby daddy's soon to be ex-baby momma? Looks like a future "hot mess".

Ex-Chicago Cop on Trial for Torturing Confessions From 100 Black Men
Ex-Chicago Cop on Trial for Torturing Confessions From 100 Black Men
This is a classic example of why African Americans are distrusting of the American justice system. To white America this is not likely or made up while on the other hand they marvel at how so many African Americans danced in the streets when the O.J. Simpson verdict was read. This man has lost 20 years of his life and money can't replace the time. If they gave him 100 million it wouldn't be enough.
Fox News Video Omits Applause During Obama's West Point Speech (VIDEO)
Another reason to not trust media in the U.S. period. The all have a slanted agenda and manipulate their presentation to influence opinion and encourage you rely on these broadcast to think for you. Believe very little of what you see do your own research. Resist the temptation to be typical.

Black Barbershop Outreach to Screen and Educate Black Men About Health

Memphis Toddler Beaten to Death With Basketball Shoe
Memphis Toddler Beaten to Death With Basketball Shoe
This makes me sick to my stomach and is a classic example of why our image as African American's suffers. Our image suffers at the hands of "niggas" like these. Yes I said the N-word because it fits this situation perfectly. It does not matter what color you are if you do this you are a "nigga".
Texas Board Of Education To Vote On Controversial Curriculum Changes
This is exactly why my childhood heroes were Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., Muhammad Ali and groups like the ‘Black Panthers’. They would call this insane out on its face. This Don McLeroy clown is a racist and he is so racist that he thinks he's doing a great public service. The hold Board of Education for the state of Texas needs to be turned over to the Federal Department of Education, screw states rights when you have officials attempting to rewrite history for the purpose of cultivating a new conservative base for 2025 election by omission of facts to suit their agenda. These power drunk jerks are too comfortable spitting this ignorant, twisted logic. Clearly he has large numbers of likeminded "Tea Partiers" trying to pull off this hostile takeover of young minds. What their attempting is the equivalent of brain trafficking for future use, in the form of a voter base. This is also a lack of separation between “church and state”, if push too much on his fundamentalist Christian ideology. Texas is trying to trump Arizona for dumbest state officials. This may be the worse think to happen to Texas since “Baby Bush”.

Randy Jackson: Planning To Make Money Off Michael Jackson's Gravesite
Michael Jackson was/is bigger than his would be father-inlaw Elvis Presley, only now after their deaths can we settle the debate. Sadly it can and will be measure in dollars after death. Not sure whether his gravesite should be made public but the logistical issues with the crowds would eventually require a staff to manage. If it must be done of course his estate should have the benefit of profits and headaches.

Jeremiah Wright Accuses Prez of 'Throwing Him Under a Bus' in Letter
Jeremiah Wright Accuses Prez of 'Throwing Him Under a Bus' in Letter
Not sure how Rev. Wright saw the relationship playing out once then candidate Obama announced his bid for the presidency publicly. Surely Rev. Wrights understands that his past sermons made it difficult for he and the Obamas to continue fellowshiping as if nothing had changed. This is just a classic "fall on your sword" solider scenario because the cause was greater that you. There's nothing to be gained by crying victim now. Man of God or not "a fool will speak of everything that's on his mind while a wise man holds his tongue". Stay up Rev. Wright.

LeBron James & John Calipari A Package Deal?
Let's be clear Jordan, Bird and the lot had the luxury of "loyalty only because their organizations were loyal until it costs. Money killed the days of loyalty in sports. The players are interested in building their brand and fighting for market share. The glory years of larger than life sports legends are a dinosar knee deep in a tar pit.

The 2010 Economic Survey of Black America: Surprising Results Are In
The 2010 Economic Survey of Black America: Surprising Results Are In
Although I agree with much of the data resulting from this survey I think the gap between the college educated and those having less education is growning at a tremendous rate. This gap can't be ignored and as a community we've got to make education an expectation at the grassroots level for youth and young adults. The respondents to this survey were mostly college educationed or computer literate therefor this data is skewed and can't be the best representation of our overall economic challenges. I do commend the effort of
"The Loop 21".

Beyonce: 'Single Ladies' Dance Causes Uproar Amongst Parents
Nothing can replace great parenting. The real parents of the world aren't concern with this foolishness because they don't allow TV, video games or gangs babysit for them. As for this viral video of the girl dance troop, on it's face the performance was great but how did it slip past the parents of these girls. If it's my daughter the instructor and I would have had a discuss well ahead of the performance/competition. Celebs are not your role models. Also what Victoria's Secret sells baby lingerie? I'm just saying.

I'm very hot over this one. White "n-word(s)" did this and we should be outraged at this level of disrespect. If you know of anyone having any relationship/membership with Alpha Xi Delta sorority please step to them and let them know about this incident, also let them know that their affiliation calls their character into question. I'm not a NAACP speed dialer but this one has got me seriously thinking. Wow, unbelieveable.

Nina Simone's left some big shoes to fill and this will be huge for Mary if she's successful. I hope she's able to do for Nina what Jamie Foxx did for "Ray Charles". I realize an Oscar is probably out of the question but it's worth a shot Mary J. Just go for it with all you've got.

Michelle Obama Commencement Speech At University Of Arkansas At Pine Bluff (FULL TEXT)
This is one of the best commencement addresses I've ever seen to date and I’m stumped to comment. Despite the references to civil rights, black history and the history of the school (University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff) an HBCU this should be shared with young people black and white alike. The message speaks to the necessary need for change in mentality and mindset of our young people today. Today’s young people need to know these are very trying times for our country on political, financial, legal and spiritual fronts. In her address the First Lady says what every parent with children old enough to understand should hear. Her black history references may only prick the hearts of young history aware blacks but makes a strong case for engaging in purposeful, relevant struggle for causing and callings greater than ourselves. Mrs. Obama in accepting the invite to give this address in her own way plants a seed of understanding within the black community that HBCU(s) are still important and needed institutions of empowerment. As for the Tavis Smiley(s) of the world, barking about the need for this administration to adopt a "black agenda" I say read this speech as well as the speech given by President Obama at the Hampton University commencement and share them and hush with the cheap talk, grandstanding and shameless self promotion. In world where we don't hesitate to share pointless devoid of intelligence messages I'm happy to forward this important message that's worthy of sharing.
