It’s official, no second chances, Don Imus is a racist pig, according to reports…..

Don Imus, the radio jock who was fired last year for calling the Rutgers women’s basketball team “nappy-headed hos,” has once again put his foot in his mouth in comments related to the world of sports. Pro Football Talk passes along the audio:

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - George Carlin, the dean of counterculture comedians whose biting insights on life and language were immortalized in his “Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV” routine, died of heart failure Sunday. He was 71

I’ve always loved George, and respected him greatly for speaking the truth and forcing people to look at the hypocrisy of their lives. As a black woman it was nice to see a old white guy who “told it like it is” to  whites  straight to their face about how racist and fake some of them could be, and he did it all through intelligent, slick, humor. He reminded me of a white Paul Mooney. He was completely unapologetic about his radical views on life, religion, and culture. He was an endangered species in comedy today and he will be missed, especially by me.

Great story I encountered today about the rise of conservative republicans taking the plunge and leaning towards Obama ‘08. No matter what these republican fools try you can’t stop the reign of this unbelievably great leader. The universe is giving us Americans a second chance and we better wake up and start realizing that no matter what you feel personally about your political beliefs. Barack Obama is the ONLY choice for change in our country.

Obama’s strange appeal to high priests of US conservatism

 WASHINGTON (AFP) – They’re called the Obamacons — the conservative thinkers who are disgusted with the Republicans and are rallying to Democrat Barack Obama as the nation’s economic and diplomatic savior.

A high court in South Africa ruled on Wednesday that Chinese-South Africans will be reclassified as “black,” a term that includes black Africans, Indians and others who were subject to discrimination under apartheid. As a result of this ruling, ethnically Chinese citizens will be able to benefit from government affirmative action policies aimed at undoing the effects of apartheid.

In 2006, the Chinese Association of South Africa sued the government, claiming that its members were being discriminated against because they were being treated as whites and thus failed to qualify for business contracts and job promotions reserved for victims of apartheid. The association successfully argued that, since Chinese-South Africans had been treated unequally under apartheid, they should be reclassified in order to redress wrongs of the past.

Orchard Street designer and lifestyle racist Doron Braunshtein (aka Apollo Braun) is at it again; in March he launched his “Who Killed Obama?” t-shirt and now he’s added a new political statement to his line: the $250 “Jews Against Obama” t-shirt.
And that’s not the only provocation: Braunshtein also started what he calls a “political movement” as a cute, must-have accessory to the T. His recruitment efforts have gone through his mailing list, Facebook and Myspace.

As with his last design, he explains that he’s “selling an idea” that will one day hang “in the greatest museums and galleries in the city.” He also wants you all to know how he really feels about Obama, in case it wasn’t clear…click HERE to see the whole story…..

The Apollo Braun is scary enough, but this guy needs lots of therapy

According to reports (Story from newsoftheworld.co.uk) AMY Winehouse faces ruin after being caught on camera revelling in SEX in, a public place, out of her head in a CRACK den and singing an astonishing RACIST chant. 

Bombshell revelations— based on sickening video footage and over 100 shocking still photos—will stun fans and threaten to torpedo troubled Amy’s rock career.

The damning scenes were filmed by her husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who is in prison facing trial for GBH and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

After reading this intriguing interview I found online today, I was surprised by how little of an effect this type of sad truth has on me at this point in my life. I think this article continues to support my beliefs that black love, and black unity is just about dead. Maybe if Obama wins the presidency it will make a cultural shift in the way many in the African American community  see themselves and each other and we can bring back some true pride to our culture. Here are some excerpts for the article.

“There’s a phenomenon sweeping the African American community: Black men traveling to places like Brazil and the Dominican Republic for sex. A new book Don’t Blame It on Rio: The Real Deal Behind Why Men Go to Brazil for Sex (Grand Central Publishing, April 2008) by Jewel Woods and Karen Hunter attempts to get to the heart of this issue and show that it’s bigger than “getting some.” More than Words spoke with Woods who also founded the Renaissance Male Project, a nonprofit advocacy and accountability organization for men and boys. Check out this eye-opening, eyebrow-raising interview with Woods about sex, love, and the widening divide between African American men and women.” Read the rest of this entry »

What woman would lay down and create a baby with one of Hollywood’s biggest sellouts? Paloma Jimenez that’s who! It’s reported that, Vin Diesel and his girlfriend, model Paloma Jimenez, have quietly become parents of a baby girl, his rep tells PEOPLE.

Diesel, 40, and Jimenez welcomed their first child on April 2. Diesel is currently shooting and producing Fast and Furious, due out June 2009, and will next be seen starring in Babylon AD on August 29. Despite his daughter’s fall birth, the ‘Fast and the Furious’ actor and his model wife wait nearly two months to share the news.

When I use the word sellout for Vin Diesel it’s not because like usual he’s another black male who stays as far away from black women as he possibly can, even though it appears that black men have abandoned ship when it comes to black on black love, I personally see nothing wrong with dating interracially (I am also bi-racial). It’s mainly because Vin has always made it clear that since he is bi-racial he doesn’t want to be “stereotyped” with black roles. So this punk made sure in his contract with the studios that he NEVER gets casted in a role as a black man, EVER. I find this insulting and just plain sad.
