THE DISTURBING STATE OF YOUNG BLACK MEN

MEANWHILE.....

58% of Black boys in the United States do not graduate from high school (2006 Report from the Schott Foundation for Public Education)

Almost 70% of Black children are born into female, single parent households (2000 Census)

About 1 million Black men in the United States are in prison (U.S. Justice Dept.)

When It Comes to Education, Too Much & Oprah are Never Enough

Be Content Black Woman...
You Deserve It

Now this is some madness!

So many complain about the "flava-flav" conditions of the state of our world. Yet folk are so quick to jump all over a woman who is at least making an effort to cure some of our world’s ills while their asses don’t have two "flava flavin" nickels to rub together. They are so lucky my name is not Oprah, because I would be so quick to tell them to kiss my "flava flav".

What in the "flava flav" have you done for poor Black children lately?

I usually pride myself in my ever so recent transformation into the Content Black Woman. However, on this subject, my "flava flav" just got to be angry!

So, Oprah has opened up a second school. A primary institution designed to be a model for elementary school preparation in South Africa. Before she came along, that school was just a mess with no windows, little electricity or running water and only four toilets for about 1,000 teachers and students. These are people, not animals. I am so "flava flav" sick and tired of folk treating African people like "flava flav". So was Oprah, so she decided to do something about it.

Hell, I ain’t mad! Grrrrl, do you thang and help our people.

Look at the "flava flav" educational system in America's innercities. A rcent study showed 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. are functionally illiterate.

What kind of "flava flavor" is that?!?!

At one point, I use to say that the American educational system was the most racist thing taking place in “the greatest country in the world” today. However, I have to take that "flava flav" back. We just have a bunch of greedy "flava flavers" who happen to be white men who only live for today and could give a "flava flav" about anyone else.

Message to the greedy "flava flavers": You are not a credit to your race.

As for you, Ms. Oprah, you do you. Continue to be the model for good that you are, because when I gets mine and begin to roll like you, I’ll be right there with you.

Continue to rise dear sister, I’ve got your back and you have my prayers – ALWAYS!

You Gettin' A Spankin Little Mama!

Mesquite, Texas Families Sorry For
Hoax, Thankful Girls Found Alive

17-year-old Bryshada Ward and her 20-year-old cousin Sasha Abney had been missing - and when found - lied about being snatched up.

Police say the girls went to two parties Saturday night. They didn't make their curfew, got deeper and deeper into trouble, then decided that they weren't going to come home at all.

Three days after they disappeared, the drove to a gas station and asked for police. They told a tale of abduction and terror, claiming they were abducted at gun point and beaten. One actually used a shoe on the other, marking and bruising her up.

Although police have stated that the two will not be facing any criminal charges, we can all agree that a beatdown is definitely in order.

Sooner, rather than later!
