Jesus Take the Wheel-Fighting off Discouragement During Discouraging Times

Happy Belated Mother’s Day to all the Sugar Mama’s reading this blog! I failed to post this yesterday because I was spending the day with my own Mommy and Grandmother (who asked me not to ‘write on that computer’ as part of her gift)

So this blog was intended to be a “one stop shop”; a voice for those of us who normally do not get a lot of media coverage on issues we care about, or are used to hearing about the news that effects us months later. Now as I constantly seek to carry out the goals of this blog, I spend a lot of time scouring the news, small town news, local news, entertainment news, big major news sources, etc. A lot of the time it’s not all good. There’s only so much you can read about the economy falling apart, the election, police shootings, beating, abuse, discrimination, rape, and all out ignorance before you really start to feel the weight.

BLACK WOMEN MATTER!!!- NYPD neglect leads to Lawsuit

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.

More Trouble in Paradise for Lisa Raye’s Husband

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.

Chris Stokes Holds distraction/ talent contest

Wow!! talk about a serious attempt to hid some bad press!! in case you haven’t heard it ( or thought it was a joke like I did) Chris “What What in the Butt” Stokes is seriously holding a Star Search like youtube competition. OF course anybody with a web cam and a slice of talent is trying to upload a video, but popular video bloggers (Jia, B.Scott and a host of others) are calling it out as a sad attempt to make the public forget about the Molestation allegations that have been swirling around.

Lisa Raye’s Husband accused of Rape

What began as a dream for single mamas everywhere is being marred with controversy and shame. Rumors of infidelity, divorce and ruining an island nation are just a few of the problems faced by Actress Lisa Raye and her Island king Michael Misick (the Premier/President of Turks and Caicos), but the newest allegations take the cake.

Regina King’s Documentary

One of my Brown Sugar Babies (readers) sent this to me. =)

Regina King has a new documentary out. The former “227” star served as the executive producer of “Side by Side: the Story of the 50/50 Group of Sierra Leone”

Oh Really Ray-J? You think so too!

From the “oh Really?” files, Ray-J is calling out Chris Stokes and Marques Houston ( and by out I mean OUT!) in and interview with Ballerstatus, a hip hop website. Brandy’s little Bro had this to say…

Go sit down! please

I am outraged!! (This seems to be a permanent emotion that I’m having lately) Those of you who are my Facebook friends will remember the story that I posted about the savage rape and attack on a Haitian woman and her son down in Dunbar Village (West Palm Beach) by a group of teen boys (yes all black). Well the folk at “What About Our Daughters” have been following that story and searching for support and answers for months. They’ve been demanding to hear from our so called “black leaders” to support this woman and condemn the actions of these teens. Well A black leader finally spoke up… in support of the teens that are suspected of committing the crime!
