Comment on Mitrice Richardson Is Just Another Missing Black Woman by dj

I think we’re being played by Mitrice’s family. They know she’s in San Jose with The Reverend who she met on myspace. I checked greyhound bus schedule for Sept. 17, 2009. There were three buses leaving for San jose from Oxnard. There was a witness that said he/she saw Mitrice board the greyhound bus to San Jose. Click on the link below:

The mother said in an interview that Mitrice was release without id, but the booking report indicates she had id when she was released.

Comment on Undercover job hunters reveal huge race bias in Britain’s workplaces by Dave

That’s terrrible. They need to do more of these studies to show what a big problem it is, and to eventually penalise this or discourage it in some way. (suggestions?)

On another hand, you’ve misspelled Guardian, which is hillarious because they’re well known for making proof-reading mistakes of their own. That’s why they call it the Grauniad.

Comment on is Gay the new Black!? by Sebastian

For me Color is not an issue as long as there is true love on it. Although it’s a general fact that we cant please everybody, what is important to me is the love that they feel and how they are going to fight for it.

I respect people who are against on same sex marriage. Although other people criticizes so badly, and instead of getting mad, I pray for them that soon they can accept gays and lesbian.

Do you think all preist can go to heaven? and all gay and lesbian will go to hell ?

Interesting read. When Obama was in Ghana, I wrote this commentary about how divisive his pick-and-choose visit to the continent was. Even scarier was our reluctance to criticize him because he is “our son.”

Comment on Do Black Men Respond To Natural Hair? by Rasheeda

Rasheeda — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:42:20 +0000

I went natural off and on for 5 years. But after the relaxer kills my hair and leaves it limp, so, I have to cut it off and start all over again. My hair is now a short, beautiful afro in which I can where the curly ,natural look, and vary my styles. I am actually having fun styling my natural hair, and my husband only prefers natural hair. He loves it. I had it dyed a mahogany brown color, and I love that color against my skin and on my hair. With the natural look, you have to also fix it to where it complements your face and looks good. If you have problems with it; you can always go to a hair professional who specializes in doing natural hair.

Don’ get pulled over in Malibu! Years ago I was pulled over on Pacific Coast Highway for a presumed traffic violation by the Malibu Police. An elderly woman had cut me off and I had to go around her to avoid hitting her and creating an accident. The malibu Police Officers witnessed this, pulled us over and let the elderly Malibu resident go. Upon being pulled over by the two officers they asked me to get out of my car and the moment they found out I was from the San Fernando Valley and not Malibu they put me through the ringer with the most elaborate balance and mobility tests in the world. Mind you, I had nothing to drink that evening, yet they rudely ordered me around and conducted these following tests while barking at me: oh yeah, and the two of them traded off as they conducted their “hazing”: Recite the Alphabet a-z Recite the Alphabet z-a Hop on one foot and go forward Now Switch feet and hop in a circle until we say stop Put your hands behind your back, close your eyes and lean back Count forward using odd numbers and don’t stop until we tell you Close your eyes and point your chin to the sky keep you head back and do not move your feet at all Keep your eyes on the eraser of my pencil as I move it around and try to make you dizzy Walk backwards for 100 feet through rubble on PCH and don’t fall. What is 12X13? Upon passing all their mindless mobility tests. I was ordered back in my car and received a citation. As I was driving away from these Malibu redneck officers, I stopped at a stop light. They raced up behind me with their lights in full panic mode and pulled up next to me and they yelled angrily “Go back to the valley and stay out of Malibu!” At that time I was in my mid twenties, in college, drove a nice car, was dressed nicely, and was very respectful to these officers during the “hazing”. The reason why I bore you all with this story is that I can only imagine what the Malibu Police potentially/allegedly put this poor women of color through when they picked her up. Malibu aledgedly hates and despises all non-locals and this poor woman most likely could have received similar or worse treatment. Shame on Geoffreys for caling the police on a mere $89.00 charge. SHAME ON THEM!I had eaten there in the late 80’s and 90’s and the food was lackluster, overpriced and overrated and everyone had some type of attitude including the creepy valet who was pushing his script. OHHH I AM A SCREENWRITER. NO YOU ARE NOT, YOU ARE A CAR PARKING VALET. I had sent food back numerous times due to many indicators. IS THIS WHAT HAPPENED? SHE DIDN”T AGREE WITH THE BILL AS SHE POTENTIALLY SENT FOOD BACK? Maybe/alledgedly the food made her sick potentially the fontina cheese. Maybe it potentially was the cheese that made her ill. If this is indeed what she consumed that evening. Who KNOWS? GEOFFREY”S KNOWS!. WHAT COULD SHE HAVE HAD THAT WAS $89.00? Hey Geoffrey’s I ALLEDGE you are the ones to blame for this girls disappearance. Yes YOU! TAKE RESPONSIBILITY! If the young lady couldn’t pay her bill, and was acting weird why wouldn’t you un-talented nobody’s call her family to come pick her up!? Just ask for her license. Let her wash dishes or send her a bill in the mail! YOU DON”T CALL THE POLICE ON CUSTOMERS BECAUSE THEY CAN”T PAY THEIR BILL. SHAME ON YOU GEOFFREYS! When I ate at your “dive” your card reader was having problems reading credit cards. MAYBE THIS IS WHY YOU DIDN”T GET PAID because you were too cheap to get a good card reader system and this poor woman couldn’t pay because your card reader is as old as your stale menu and whispering waitstaff! Remind me not to go to you for help if I happen to be in the area and need it. THIS GIRL IS PROBABLY MISSING BECAUSE OF GEOFFREYS ALLEDGED INABILITY TO HANDLE THE SITUATION AT THEIR RESTARAUNT SHAME ON THEM!!SHAME ON GEOFFREY’S! I feel so badly for this poor woman and her family. Please pray for her safe retun home to her family and friends. I hope that the stupidity and ignorance and non caring of the people that had her arrested will be made known. SHAME ON THEM!!

This article is ridiculous. First, he has no case, because you could never prove damages. Rush’s group has/had no guarantee that they were going to be, or will be the successful bidder. Second, ONE quote turned out to probably be false out of the hundreds of race-baiting things that Rush has said over the years. One.

Isn’t this the same (or similar) mag that did the LeBron cover a while back? LMAO! A bunch of pale, anorexic models marching up/down the runway want to play Alison Jolson for some sort of “statement”…

Comment on Video: Method Man Puts Kelis & Child Support Women on Blast by f

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:18:14 +0000

Why is the focus just on Nas and Kelis? Plenty of people often divorce that have a lot of money tied into the circumstances. If you’re not their lawyer or accountant with details of thier situation then it is NOYB. Certain men are rabidly ambitious about accumulating wealth to attract a certain type of woman only in the end being sidelined by them for the very wealth the men used to attract them. So why is he mad? You think Nas or men like him didn’t have his pick of the litter of women once he made his money? He could have chosen a different type of woman if he didn’t want this type of ending but he didn’t. The same man who will rob, steal, screw over, what/whomever and sacrfice their karmic debt in this life for money will take that road gladly just to be able to attract the type of women who pull this crap. This format is a broken record that keeps playing. For Nas and Kelis particularly, she had her own career and money when he met her and if he did not want to have to in the end fork up his fortune to this women knowing what it costs to even be with her, then why did he choose her? He could have chose someone else. But I guess someone else at the time who was not as “hot” as Kelis would have been “lame” or “boring” to him so now he wants sympathy. Method man stated that some women “need” to make their own money, ok but we all know and so do these rappers that if they did not have the money that they had none of them would have the girlfriends/wives that they do. They would be no different from their dusty homeboys back in the neighborhood they grew up in that didn’t get that break that they did. Sometimes it happens but it is very rare to see the “brutha” with his main squeeze who was with him when he was flat broke form back in the day. If anything, once he gets his, he trades her up like his car for something new and improved with his new found fame and wealth and then wants someone to feel sorry for him once the new crowd of folks he surrounds himself with “cleans” him out . It’s the same sad story, bottom line compadres, you know exactly who you pick so don’t get mad in the end…

Comment on Do Black Men Respond To Natural Hair? by sheila

sheila — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 17:40:14 +0000

I believe there are alot of men that love natural hair and natural looks(little to NO make-up). But there are also alot of men who want that “look” that the Media portrays a beautiful black women as-and really that is okay. As we know “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder”.

But just because a man likes natural hair does not mean that women should just let their natural hair look like an unkept “jungle”. Get the right products that will complement your hair textures needs and be creative with your hair.

Why or why can’t you retain your objectivity. Give your reader the facts-let us call/attach the names to the subject. Ya kinda shoot yourself in the foot. I know he sabotaged his own country; I know he hurt you and yours. Yes, it’s a good catharsis, but after all this time…Ever thought of going back…there’s the best ticket to healing ole wounds.
