It’s funny to me when people create online *petitions for silly stuff, such as requesting the “re-shoot” of Beyonces most current visual offering - Deja Vu, the video. However, I do agree with the statements made for petition. Ish is hella boring, lacks direction and any sort of connection with the lyrics of the song. And Jay, Jay looks like he’s sooo far removed from whole scenario - you’d need to slap fire from his ass to spark an ounce true emotion. Like his mind is on other thangs - Perhaps the industry “new-bey”, Rhianna? Or the making of his new album? (”What more can I say”, my ass) Could it be what he ate for breakfast that’s distracting him? (Beyonces granola cereal?) . . . Or maybe it’s those lesbian rumors swirling around Ma Dukes? I dunno. That’s just my intepretation of the situation.
Aw Sooky Sooky Now. It’s A Photoshop Extravaganza!

Let the airbrushing begin ! ! !
I’m not too much of a Janet Jackson fan these days. I’ll always adore and respect her 80’s and 90’s pop chart glory, but after that I’se luke-warm on Damita Joe of the Jackson clan. Still, this here concept/ contest is worth sharing. So read up! As you may know, little Penny Woods is releasing a new album celebrating her 20 years worth of contributions to the industry.
And guess what?
Don’t Shoot! I’m Coming Out.

How to “Man-Up” & Set Heterosexuals Straight by Benn Setfrey
“This book is dedicated to young men who are battling with their sexual orientation and to those men who embrace their homosexuality. There are no fringe benefits for being a black man on this planet. When you add homosexuality to the equation, you have a recipe for derision, malice and outright hatred. The word ‘gay’ has become synonymous with ‘fag’ in the black community.
‘Gay’ has such a negative connotation it has almost become equivalent to the word ‘nigger.’ The hardest part about being Black and gay is dealing with ignorant heterosexual black people. From Bible thumpers to gang members, it seems like almost everyone in the black community hates gay people. But it doesn’t have to be, and this is what I want all gay men to understand. It doesn’t have to be.
[But] this book is not about men coming out. This was a very personal choice for me. I am willing to take on anyone who wants to judge my life and my love of God and His for me. I am not ashamed of who I am. I refuse to live in my own shadow or anyone else’s shadow. This book may jeopardize my teaching career and family ties. But if I can teach gay men how to live a fulfilling life the same way I taught myself and thousands of students, it will be well worth it.”

Actually, it’s How to Dress “Hyphy” by Anthony Cohn . . .
“You have heard about it all over the news. It appears to be the buzzword of the Bay Area, with rappers from E-40 to TooShort using it in their songs. According to VIBE magazine, rapper Keak Da Sneak invented the term “hyphy” (pronounced “high–fee”) to describe people just letting go and dancing wildly, no matter where they’re at. Hyphy is now being used to describe a hip hop music, dance and fashion movement in the Bay Area characterized by people “going dumb”, “riding the yellow bus”, or basically just acting crazy. Whether they are dancing next to their in-motion cars, screaming “Yeee Yeee” or just plain ole’goofing off, hyphy is spreading throughout Northern California.
The hyphy movement has inspired many Bay Area youth to take on new activities and customs, including new fashion trends. Discussed in almost every song relating to the hyphy movement, one must wear certain clothing items if one truly wants to embody the spirit of hyphy. Thus, this article gives you the reader an opportunity to fit in with the latest phenomenon. I now present you with the essential items required to dress hyphy. . .

The White House announced today that President Bush plans to speak to the NAACP for the first time since taking office, after rejecting the civil rights group’s invitations for five straight years.
Five - years - straight, Yo! And now he wants to “make nice”? For what? We already know what time it is with George W. “Does Not Care About Black People” Bush.
Hmm . . .
Bush’s decision comes in a critical midterm election year, when Republicans fear losing control of Congress and Bush has been working to get more votes for the GOP. Bush received just 11 percent of the black vote in the 2004 election.
Every president for the past several decades has spoken to the group. Until now, Bush had been the exception. And he should continue to be the exception because I’d respect the man more for just continuing to keep it real, rather than try and cop a fake plea to save a possible shift in Congress.
Whatever. I just can’t believe that people voted this man in for a 2nd term.
