Where are "Our Black Babies!" Jus Asking!

Yes, I've noticed I don't see enough "black babies", "black women" pregnant.  We are really the minority now yall! 

We have our "Latino Women" producing... One thing about that culture they love loving and Family!  The Black Communities are Design for failure but that's another "topic" being said that, the Family Clinics are giving away "Birth Control".  Why?! Because we don't think. Be responsible, make our own decisions not have someone to make our decision for us.  The African Americans are getting smaller and smaller in this country. Go love one another to "Death" I mean have "Relations" (SEX) as much as possible to conceive.  I know! Done heard it before in the community.  Kids are expensive.. I can't afford Child Care... My Baby Daddy ain't there!  Excuses! Excuses!

There's assistance in this Country for Families, your tax dollars pay for it.  Our Black Men are stepping up and taking care of the Families.  Yes we have some that need a boost but no excuses. We really got to think outside the box. I think as a race it start with leading by example.  We have to look outside our circumstances.  The world is progressing but are we?  It's not a white thing are any other race, lets take them out the equation and focus on ourselves as a race/community.  We have to start with ourselves "Black People".  We do have work to do.  You know I have friends of different ethinic backgrounds, and I have had discussions on different situations.  My "Asian Friends" work together and most of them have their "family business".  My "White friends" sure thing!  They are doing well, no complaints.  My "Latino friends" working, entreprenuers, having babies.  My "Black friends" doing well, business owners, some kids, a kid, no kids... Some claim that they are not doing well at all... Complaining about this and that.. The lord this and that!  The same old same old... Hmmm But no Solutions, no effort!  I'm just saying or some call it "venting" Whatever! But it is what it is! Right!  Get pass the obstacles and work on bettering ourselves and being.

KIDS ARE BEAUTIFUL BEINGS.

just finsihed reading the article and came to the conclusion that the reason why there was hardly any coverage can be seen in the same light as how missing black children get hardly any publicity. For me it comes down to this:

1.) Race plays a huge factor in what the media decides to cover. Even though they say it doesn;t play any part in what they report it does to a certain extant. As the article points out with the Peterson, Chevy case they garnered national coverage while cases like this get no attention. It seems the only time the media wants to report on minorities is when we are doing something extremely wrong. How many times have you turned the news on to see some story about how a couple minorities killed themselves but if it is something positive they seem to only glance over it witout going in depth on some media outlets.

2.) Money: The media is all about what will make them money. Hate to say it but I find it to be true in most cases. Stories involving minorities hardly sell b/c a vast majority of people just don;t care. ... Read More

I know some ppl might not agree with my opinion on the matter but it is just my opinion.

Michael Jordan's Son Involved in "Shoe Deal Fight!"

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A fight over the shoes Michael Jordan's son will wear at the University of Central Florida could cost the school as much as $3 million.

Freshman guard Marcus Jordan is refusing to wear shoes made by adidas, the brand the university has a contract with for all its sports. He says he will only wear his father's Nike Air Jordan shoes because it holds special meaning to his family.


The problem is UCF has a $3 million, six-year contract with adidas that requires coaches and athletes to use the company's apparel and equipment.

UCF said in a statement Thursday that adidas was aware of the situation during contract renewal discussions. The university says it is working with adidas "in determining how this unique set of circumstances will work for both parties."

Talking about in the footsteps of his Father?!  Yea the "Footsteps of his Dad!" Hmmmm....

Balloon Boy Family Under Investigation

The Heene Family is now under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration. Spokesman for the FAA Mike Fergus explains:




"This is unusual. But we investigate any air incident. The investigation is solely focusing on if we had any violations of our regulatory authority or regulations. This is a particularly peculiar [case] so I wouldn't even venture a guess what our legal department would do if it is found there was a violation."

The local authorities are already investigating Richard and Mayumi Heene for criminal behavior including influencing a public official and the delinquency of a minor.

Foxy Brown Prison Contoversy!

Three prison officials at Rikers Island jail have stepped down from their positions after reportedly allowing a promotional photo shoot for Foxy's new album while she was in prison! 2 other workers have already previously left their jobs because of the scandal.


Foxy has denied these claims saying:

"It was incarceration, not vacation. I only wore the designer clothing I was allowed to have. There were certain gang colors my sneakers couldn't be… I didn't have any special visitation rights."

Girl you know you breaking the Rules....So what does Rickey say about this?! LOL! anyways....

KANYE WEST - WEST PULLS CONTROVERSIAL WEB PROMO

KANYE has pulled a controversial new video from his official website.


The Stronger rapper uploaded a 14-minute promo, titled We Were Once A Fairytale, featuring scenes of him cavorting with women in a club.

The video, played to West's track See You In My Nightmares, ends with the star involved in a sex scene, and then stabbing himself in the stomach to release an inner-demon.

But just hours after West previewed the footage - directed by Spike Jonze - the star removed it from his site and apologised to fans.

On his blog, he writes, "Sorry I had to take it down." I so love Kanye... He like such a kid at heart! to me... (chirps)


   Here's the video below.

Whitney Houston Lesbian?!

There have been rumors of Whitney being a LesBo!  Well ex-hubby Bobby Brown has a tale tell all memior "The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But.." here's a little passage:

" [Their marriage] was doomed from the very beginning… I think we got married for all the wrong reasons. Now, I realize Whitney had a different agenda than I did when we got married . . . I believe her agenda was to clean up her image, while mine was to be loved and have children.


The media was accusing her of having a bisexual relationship with her assistant, Robin Crawford. Since she was the American Sweetheart and all, that didn't go too well with her image . . . In Whitney's situation, the only solution was to get married and have kids. That would kill all speculation, whether it was true or not."

Well...what you think?!  The book comes out next month... (chirps)
