Terry McMillan Thinks The Smith Kids Are Getting Pimped

Image
Author Terry McMillan took to her twitter a few days ago to express her feelings on The Smith children who she believes are being pimped and exploited: The Smith children already act like child stars. There’s an arrogance in their demeanor and behavior. I find it incredibly sad. It feels like the Smith children are being pimped and exploited. Or, they’re already hungry for fame. What about 4th grade? A lot of A-list movie stars shielded their children from the Hollywood-world until they were old enough to decide. Look at those who didn’t. Look at Lindsay. Phoenix. To name but a few. They miss out on childhood. It’s more important than fame. These kids don’t already know what they “love”. Total bullshit. They’re not prodigies. They think Hollywood is real. Why don’t they do a remake of The Little Rascals and call it a day? Or, come up with an original film with some ethnic pride. Come on. Okay. I’ve said enough about the Smith children. I’m not debating about them. It’s ju

Black Mother Jailed For Sending Kids To White School District

Image
At first glance i thought maybe i was tripping but as i began to read the story i thought " This is a textbook example of  racial-inequality and making an example out of the less fortunate ." If you haven't heard the story here it is... An Akron woman was sentenced to 10 days in the Summit County Jail, placed on three years of probation and ordered to perform community service after being convicted of falsifying residency records so that her two children could attend Copley-Fairlawn schools. Summit Common Pleas Judge Patricia Cosgrove, who handed down the sentence Tuesday afternoon in a packed courtroom, ordered Kelley Williams-Bolar, 40, to begin serving the sentence immediately. Williams-Bolar, who was standing before the bench with her lawyer, sagged into the arms of sheriff's deputies as she was led away, sobbing loudly, to begin her jail time. After seven hours of deliberations, a jury convicted her late Saturday of two counts of tampering with reco

AutumnJones Wants You To Meet Jasmin Goodman Of Project Blaq

Image
What is Project Blaq and what prompted you to start it? Project Blaq is a web platform designed to stream independent film and video content. I got the idea after talking to an independent filmmaker about online distribution options. I had always wanted to start a TV network, so I saw this as a perfect opportunity to combine the two. What is your ultimate goal with Project Blaq? My ultimate goal with Project Blaq is for it to become a top online destination for black film & video content. Have you thought about how HUGE this could be for black films?   As we talk to more and more people, it starts to set in. Although I like big picture thinking, I have to make sure I stay focused on the supporting details. I don't want to be so blinded by the bigger picture that nothing gets done. What do you believe will be Project Blaq's biggest and smallest advantages? Why? Every advantage is a big advantage! We have established relationships with key industry influences.

Khloe Kardashian does YRB

Image
 My favorite CHICK Khloe K! On how she met Lamar I met him at a club. I hosted a “Welcome to Lakers" party for Ron Artest, and we met there. I was so not interested in him at the time, and I was really rude to him. He asked me to go to IHOP after the party. I went, gave him my number afterwards, and the rest is history. On what tech gadgets they use to keep up with each other We are huge texters. We have like four-hour conversations. We love iChat with video. We like to have fun and keep the excitement going, so sometimes we call it iBone and give each other a little show. On how she balances personal versus public information about her Because my family and I do reality Tv , that line is very blurred. I try to be as balanced as possible by my surroundings. Having the same childhood friends help you with that because they keep you grounded. On the biggest misconception about her Hmmmmm. Good question. I’m not sure, but when people meet me they normally have t

WTF::: Memphis's Frayser High School Has 90 teen pregnancies

Image
According to reports some 90 girls are pregnant or have already had a baby this school year at Frayser High School in Memphis. School officials are trying to find ways to prevent it but apparently these girls are making packs to have babies! Where they do that at? Apparently Memphis! All i want to say is WHERE IN THE HELL ARE THE PARENTS ?  C'mon, you can not pay me enough to believe that these young girls have guidance inside of the home. I know times have changed but they have not changed so much to where young teens don't have their own minds and abilities to understand the magnitude of something this serious. Imma leave it alone, but....We can blame the media all day but THIS ISH STARTS AT HOME ! ( source )
