Granted the PR move for everyone is to distance themselves from this money and the "bad guy" of the month but true be told the fan's of Beyonce and others could give a flip because they aren't plug into world events at this level. So if these artist are rushing to write off these funds will governments refuse crude oil for this region? Doubt it.
A stew of opinions that encourage Americans to value Black America's contributions to addressing the challenges of the issues facing our communities.

Vince Young Assault: QB Cited In Dallas Strip Club Fight (VIDEO)
Ridiculous: how these athletes' so called friends aren’t being the voice of reason and stirring their rich buddies to alternative forms of entertainment. It seem the only places black athletes want to go are strip joints, jewelry stores and car dealerships, all of which are certain financial losses. The worse of these appears to be the strip clubs where they pay covers, drinks, lap dance money, make it "rain" money, bail money, attorney fees ( their entourage included) and the potential lost income from league sanctions. Granted athletes of other persuasions can be just as stupid but why are we front row center with our nonsense. Damn again.

Antoine Walker Debt: Ex-NBA All-Star Owes $900,000 To Vegas Casinos
It's amazing how this story and others like it plague one time high profile athletes. It appears that the combo of overnight wealth, lavish spending and no planning are some common denominators. Isn’t it funny how the entourage disappears as the zeros on the bank balance drop? Where are your boys now Toine.

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.

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".

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.

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”.

Baby on Board: Is Alicia Keys Pregnant?
Whether Alicia Keys is pregnant or not is the multi-million dollar question for certain, but if so why are people that appear to have the stuff together having unprotected sex. So, does this rumor "trump' those rumors about Alicia being a lesbian?

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.

"The History in Jena 6"

I’ve withheld commentary on “Jena 6” and the battle cry over this recurring theme in our history in America. The reasons I’ve delayed comment is because I didn’t and still don’t have enough information and details of what occurred. I’m just a little cautious of any media presentations and the court records (with eye witness accounts) I haven’t found. Another reason is that I wanted to watch our reactions. Not just the reactions but the personalities, institutions, media, churches and mainly our kids. Maybe I’m just a little too old or something but my personal reaction to the incident is far from shock and ah (how we say it). The reactions of our media appointed leaders were pretty predictable and scripted, white Americans were clueless and many of our children are the same. Two things standout in my mind regarding Jena, 1) we have forgotten Emmitt Till, and countless others from our relatively recent history that we haven’t told our children about and 2) white kids make mistakes while black kids committing the same acts are hardened criminals, not the fact but by the treatment our kids receive it's apparent. Jena 6 is a perfect opportunity to sit down with our children, black and white and share some of the nightmare stories of slavery and civil rights casualties. While doing so, point out the relevance of history and make the connections to these six young men in Jena, Louisiana.
