NFL Baller Travis Henry Ain't Trying To Pay For His Kids, He's Too Busy Polishing His Bling

Broncos running back Travis Henry (pictured at a charity event fronting that caring athlete hustle) can't seem to find his way to the mailbox to drop off some child support to his 9 baby mama’s.

According to court records, the judge called the Black man on his triffling disposition, writing that Henry displayed “bad judgment in his spending habits,” dropping $100,000 for a car and $146,000 for jewelry. Henry fell behind on support payments for onechild. Threatened with jail, he borrowed $9,800 from his former team, the Tennessee Titans, to pay the bill, according to court records.

..The Broncos signed Henry to a five-year, $22.5-million contract in March with $12 million in guaranteed.

“People can judge me all they want,” Henry told the Denver Post. “But only God can judge me. “A lot of stuff that’s been put out there isn’t true, but I’m not going to get into that right now,” Henry said. “The important thing is I want to take care of my kids really and truly. It’s all good.”

Brother, it's time to "Man-up!" Come on, are you really trying to go out like this?

JERMAINE JACKSON CAN'T PAY CHILD SUPPORT BECAUSE HE'S A BMWJ (BLACK MAN WITHOUT A JOB)

Someone put a call into Michael Jackson and ask him to please do an Asian and European tour with all of his broke a** brothers.

All of you (that means you too Michael) need a job, any job, a little job, a piece of a job. Black men ya' need a job. Working would clear up a whole lot of problems like the one Jermaine Jackson went to court for this week.

A judge just decided that Jermaine Jackson will not have to pay child or spousal support ... for now. Jermaine's off the hook because the judge could not verify any income for the Jackson brother, though his ex-wife Alejandra claims he made money off "Big Brother" and got $150,000 from Prince Abdul in the Middle East -- which Jermaine called a "loan." Jackson's mother Katherine was ordered to continue paying for the children's expenses and must let Alejandra continue to live in their home for free. The next hearing will take place September 24.

If other dinosaurs, like The Eagles, Fleetwood Mack, America and the Rolling Stones can tour and make money, surely The Jacksons can too (well, maybe not in the U.S.A. - but out in the rest of the world - they are still big time).

Remember when ...

BLACK FOLKS SHOW UP IN SOME STRANGE PLACES: SUPERCROSS


There are few surprises these days when it comes to what lines of work "Colored Folk" turn up. Just think, we are just coming off the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking in to baseball.

Now we have Obama: presidential candidate, Tiger Woods: Masters Champ, Tony Dungee: Superbowl Winner, Condoleezza Rice:Presidential Girlfriend ... One could get quite jaded and take it as common place that Blacks are just everywhere.

And you know it's only a matter of time before the NHL Stanley Cup is flowing with Hennesy. But every once in a while you brothas' and sistas' come wit' it large, but in verrry strange places, case in point:

JAMES STEWART JR., 21, Black ...
and now double winner of
The AMA Supercross Series Title &
World Supercross Grand Prix Champion

He has won 12 of the last 15 events in the Mp'd Mobile AMA Series. Stewart earned $100,000 per championship title. Not Tigerwoods money but tops in his sport and we are verrrrry proud of this mean, lean motorcycle riding machine. And it's nice to see in this picture your DAD is your biggest supporter.
