Hey Sugar Babies!
As you can see The Brown Sugar Pages has a new look. Hopefully this will be easier to read and see. I am currently struggling with learning CSS so that I can truly customize the blog, but until I get it, I hope this will do.
If you’re good with CSS or you’re interested in designing a new custom header for the current theme, holla at ya girl!
After months of speculation, controversy and conversations the first leak from Nas’s new Album “Nigger” is out.
The song is called “Be a Nigger too”. I said I was going to wait until I heard it to make a judgment, but I’m still not so sure about this.
Take a listen.

With our nation’s economy in shambles, everyone is looking for ways to cut back on spending and budget cuts are the name of the game. Unfortunately thanks to poor government spending (i.e. - a crazy war with no end in sight) the country’s universities are really feeling the pinch. In their haste to cut costs (and preserve the lofty salaries of some school presidents) some schools have placed Africana (African, African American. Black, Diaspora etc.), Latin American and Women studies Programs on the chopping block. Claiming that the programs have so few majors that it’s not worth the costs.
Students in these programs are up in arms (particularly at my Alma Mater the University of South Florida), writing letters, signing petitions and leading rallies to preserve the departments that they hold dear.

Happy Planet Day my Eco-Friendly Sugar Babies! God has blessed us with a beautiful world and it’s our job to take care of it. Here are some tips to protect our planet from the EPA
Tips about saving energy For example, reduce your carbon footprint! Use public transportation, carpool, walk, or bike whenever possible to avoid using your car.
Tips about using water efficiently - buy water-efficient fixtures and products. The WaterSense label helps shoppers identify water efficient products and programs.
Tips to Reduce / Reuse / Recycle - allow grass clippings to stay on the lawn, instead of bagging them. The cut grass will decompose and return to the soil naturally.
Tips for making environmentally protective choices- during hot weather, don’t top off your gas tank. Even a small gas spill adds to air pollution and wastes fuel
For some Really good ways to go “Green” click here. They even have ways to go green at your funeral! Green and creepy at the same time.
One of today’s top stories is that in the near future DNA tests could be used to determine genetic pre-dispositions to crime.
In other cases, defense attorneys are asking judges to admit test results suggesting that their clients have a genetic predisposition for violent or impulsive behavior, adding a potential “DNA defense” to a legal system that until now has held virtually everyone accountable for their actions except the insane or mentally retarded.
Things are so low for Lisa Raye’s Husband that he literally has no where to go but up. According to TMZ.com, Premier Michael Misick may resign from his position over the island nation. All the FBI investigations, Sex/rape scandals and other accusations of unethical behavior may be too much.
Two quarters is mad at Alicia Keys for her comment in Blender Magazine. Curtis had this to say about Alicia Keys and her thoughts on gansta rap.
What did you think of Alicia Keys’ comments regarding gangsta rap in Blender?
50 cent: I don’t like Alicia Keys no more.
She clarified the comments, though.
50 cent: If she thinks what they consider [to be] gangsta music is [made] to bring black people down then I think my sh*t falls into that category. I don’t like people who don’t like me. I don’t like her then because that’s what provides the life for me. I think if you ask Ice Cube the same shit, he’ll tell you, “F*ck Alicia Keys” for even saying that. Because the success he’s had as an actor and a businessman, there was no opportunity for that sh*t without N.W.A. But I don’t think that [her] classical sh*t is cool. I don’t give a f*ck if you can classically play the piano. I haven’t been classically trained, because my upbringing, nobody put me in front of a piano at that time. If they did, I would know how to do it as well as she does. I could learn how to play the piano if I was passionate about it right now. That’s obviously my perspective evaluating what she does, and I could f*ck*ng care less about the sh*t. So she don’t like the music that embodies the harsh realities because they’re not her realities. She hasn’t been subjected to the same things.
