I see you have a thing for open letters, well I do to.
Recently Teresa Wiltz wrote an article about BET in the Washington Post profiling of your head of “Entertainment” Reggie Hudlin’s demise from cutting edge skewering of BET founder with Aaron McGruder ( Creator of the Boondocks): to Hudlin’s current position at your network.
Apparently Teresa’s honest criticism of the network got your thong and booty shorts in a knot, (what? You don’t wear those? But the videos you air show that all of colored women were those!) because you felt the need to take time from your busy job of exploiting black people, to write a letter to the Washington Post defending your exploitation of Black people.

Dang it Al!!! PLEASE get your “house” in order before you go out making a spectacle of yourself!
What am I talking about? Today it’s been announced that the good Rev. Sharpton owes about $1.5 MILLION in taxes and now his organization is being investigated (National Action Network or NAN).
He is definitely in Wesley Snipes territory with this mess. Read the rest of this entry
The last time I read something this disturbing was the Dunbar Village case. In 2003 a young college student was kidnapped off the busy streets of New York, raped repeatedly tortured and beaten to death. She was bright, smart, dependable, conservative, shy and a good student. When she went missing, her mother practically begged NYPD to search, call a press conference, investigate, and look for the daughter. Instead she got this response. Read the rest of this entry
Here’s a quote from Star Jones in light of Barbara Walter’s revelations on Oprah about her illicit interacial affair and Star’s surgery.
“It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book … It speaks to her true character.” Source
Well damn Starah! I don’t even have anything to add to that!
I would love to wag my finger of Shame at Star but I’d set it off too if my ex boss was digging up some mess to peddle her book during the middle of my divorce.
In case you missed it, a peaceful New York protest against the Sean Bell verdict has ended in arrest. Civil rights activist Al Sharpton has been arrested along with Nicole Paultre Bell (Fiancee/wife of Sean Bell) and about 190 other demonstrators were arrested for “civil disobedience.

I recieved a text message telling me to Boycott Cee-Jay’s because of racism. I thought that was crazy because Cee-Jay is black but then I saw this in my inbox, from Thatswzup.com.
I read this piece on one of my favorite websites TheRoot.com, and it got me thinking “what does it mean to ‘transcend race’?” and who defines what it means to ‘transcend?” Read the rest of this entry
I’ve previously posted about the decisions to cut Africana and Women’s studies at my Alma Mater. Well I just have to post this news story featuring my fellow BULLS! Standing up in silent protest during the Spring 2008 graduation.
We complain so much about kids ( and this one is a little smart mouthed little aleck) but she’s actually really great!
The Video explains it all
So it’s official. This little girl is a better Detroit community leader than mayor Kwame( his nasty texting self), the city council President and this Monica Conyers. They really need to let her ask Mayor Freaky text, KK some questions.
I feel like starting a college fund for little mama!

You want to know about me??? Well I sing, often and I've been told I do it well, I love God, Family, friends (I love ya'll) and stillettos, quirky people, black history and MAC makeup, church, B.Scott youtube clips, great men, carnival food, babies, good weave and good drinks. I find joy in the most random things and l love really good comedians. I love language and questioning why we say what we say. I consider myself to be a critical consumer of the media and that's what led me to start this blog. I love to joke around and dance (yes even in church). If they were paying alot more I might consider being a teacher, but kids shoot now days so... never mind. overall I'm a lady, trying to be blessed so that I can bless others. that's a little bit about me. Enjoy my Blog!!
