BLIND ITEM: (TRADING SEX FOR DRUGS)
She came to Hollywood with looks and talent, she was also a double threat! She struggled at the beginning of her career until she landed one of the leads in a black sitcom (the series lasted 6 years).
She got caught up and lost her way. She was at the clubs and parties indulging in cocaine.
The man of her dreams (who she married) was allegedly a drug dealer, she passed him off as a successful black businessman. At first, she was his (television) fantasy, when the fantasy wore off, he hit the road.
Her divorce was devastating and her behavior became erratic and unpredictable. She started trading sex for crack-with dope boys.
She has hit rock bottom.
She’s so damaged, she avoids family, friends and fans.
She needs an intervention.
Who is she?
Wow good day and an awesome front page.
I do not know who the bind item is. I have no clue.
I’m not sure if this blind item is Jasmine Guy since she is a triple threat…singer, actress and dancer.
Could it be Jasmine Guy?
one of my guesses
According to Wiki; A Different World ran from ’87 to’93.
So maybe this is Jasmine Guy? I know she aged HORRIBLY. I guess that is from the stress he put her through.
CoCo, I’m with you on that, she looks like a black Barbara Bush.
She is my guess also.
THANKS..This is a great smoking hot front page..things I have heard about but never getting the real 411 until now. The blind item is a puzzle to me as always but I will be up to the task of hearing what others has to say.btw I know the FILTHY RICH has a right to spend their money as they see fit but to spend millions on a drink?..drinking that expensive shiggity ain’t gonna elevate your high no more than your garden store variety of alcoholic beverages..whatta waste.
wasteful spending, beds, champagne, coffee, just crazy shit.
True dat diva..with them it’s about who can out spend the other..knowing that will get the media attention.
I would say Maia Campbell…She was one of the leads in the LL Cool J show. And she also had gotten married and had a child and went bonkers on crack and prostitution. I’ve seen the vids of her on youtube and other media outlets…
heard maia was taken advantage of, she mentally ill and bangers were running through her.
I read awhile back before her mom passed that she was trying to get Maia some help it was so sad.
When she was on that show with LL, Debbie Allen was directing the show and was on the phone to BeBe, trying to get her to control her daughter.
hmm wonder who this is no clue
I thought Les Brown divorced Gladys Knight via FedEx guess that was a rumor.
Always heard Les was a male slut.
wonder did bubba approve of les brown. He was some kind of snake in the ground, heard it got tons of kids.
He does. Used to date my 33 yr old sister, but he dropped her like she was too hot once she started stalking his phone and calling the women. He has TONS of women, young and old. Also about 27 kids.
Guess Les’s secret is out.
Les Brown used to be all over the TV, think it had a show and then he disappeared. I wonder if it’s because of womanizing and multiple kids.
Wow!! Les is a hot mess.
Great front page…..still thinking on the blind item
front page is smoking.
What is a PAWG?
Please excuse my language, but a PAWG is a phat ass white girl.
Wow, who is this sank a dank??
Maia Campbell., who else?
If this is her,god I feel so bad. I seen that video looks nothing like her former self.
Yeah that is a sad video and she looks nothing like the pretty girl we know from In The House. But remember in one of the videos she was screaming at whomever was taping her how she was saying how they taping her but making sure they don’t show their faces( SHE’S RIGHT)
I think in this same video her pimp got in the car hollering at her to shut up and she said something like ” Now I’m going to get my ass kick” as he was driving off and they were laughing at her
It’s a sad scene
Ok but Maia isnt avoiding anybody is she? All the videos I see of her out all incoherent she seems to be wandering aimlessly..
The things I’ve heard about her are not good. She’s a walking train wreck.
Yeah I pray someone gets her before she hurts herself or someone. I know she’s a grown up but she needs someone to take her somewhere even if it’s by force because I’d hate to read she’s missing then later her body was found. People with issues like hers need to have someone to watch over them and I don’t mean those fools in the youtube videos because they don;t mean her any good their having fun making fun of her
Do she have any siblings who can help her?
Jasmine? Maia?
Did Jasmine have a daughter with her husband, seems like i remember that.
Yes Jasmine Guy does have a daughter.
I thought maia as well and gladys needs to stop getting. Married. Sorry. Some. Of these. Rich people. Paul mccartney too need to learn how to be alone. You do not have to prove you can get a man or woman. Having someone in your bed every night is no big deal. Love yourself.
It’s not Maia Campbell.
Thanks for that “not”. Back to the drawing board.
i agree. Mia Campbell suffers from mental illness. I believe that her mother wrote a book about it (72 Hour Hold) before she died of a brain tumor/cancer. I think that Mia is Bipolar…
The only black sitcom that lasted 6 years that Im coming up with is A Different World. Family Matters has a girl thats outta control now but that one lasted 9 years. I havent heard of any drug issues w Jasmine Guy…. IDK?
I think you are referring to Jamie Foxworth who played the younger sister Judy.
She was on ” Life After” last year or year before last.
Jamie Foxworth, Darius and the dad were scandalous, That cast is just as bad as Different Strokes.
Whoa. wonder what Reginald Vel Johnson up to?
I first thought Vivica. She did a sitcom with Gladys Knight, Duane Martin and was it Morris Chestnut? I think it launched Duane Martin’s career. Up All Night, or something like that. And we know she went off the deep end over 50 Cent. I doubt the show lasted 6 yrs. Probably not 6 months.
Internet says Maia’s role on L.L.’s show lasted 3 yrs, not 6.
Jasmine looks better for this BI.
Vivica is too busy being a sugar mama.
Hi Winenroses,
Patti LaBelle was in Up All Night, not Gladys. I remember because it was one of my favorite shows at the time. Loved me some Morris since then.
Thanks studio.
Not sure who this could be…..I don’t think it’s Jasmine Guy
@TNJ
I can’t imagine Jasmine smoking crack. But unless, Myra is wrong about how long the sitcom lasted, it’s her. It could be Countess Vaughn, but I don’t think by her looks, she was considered a threat.
Maia Campbell sounds more likely, but South Central was cancelled after 10 epi’s and In The House only ran for THREE years.
Hey Coco
I agree….thought about Countess but then changed my mind. This is a good though
My bad…meant to say “This is a good one though”
I read back some years ago either in the Jet or Vibe mags that she was using crack.
Thanks for the “not”!
Actress dancer / actress singer?
Ahhh.. Double threat! I overlooked that in my thought process.. hmmm.. Good one Myra!
Jasmine was so pretty when she hit the scene, what the hell happened? She looks so old and dazed. Heard she froze on the Broadway stage and had to be rushed to the hospital. I guess Stephanie bounced before Hollywood turned her out.
good move
I don’t know if this is Jasmine but nothing shocks me anymore, I never would have thought Ola Ray would get strung out on crack but she did. She was pretty just like Jasmine and now they are unrecognizable. Ola’s face is swollen, teeth are beige.
I have heard so many stories about Hollywood stars being turned out…how awful.
@black playmate Ain’t tryna laugh at her situation but your comment.. teeth are beige had me ROTFLMAO.
Well, I don’t know who the B I is but I don’t think it’s Jasmine Guy. I read somewhere that she has lupus and maybe that’s why she’s aged so badly.
Plus the B I said she was a double threat. I could be wrong but isn’t she a singer as well? I could be wrong…
Read Jasmine Guy’s ex husband left her in debt to the I R S. Someone was not paying income taxes which is hard to do on a drug dealer’s income…Does anybody know what kind of work he was doing as a successful black businessman…My Foot!!!…This sounds like her to me with her background…She is more than likely ashamed of herself for marrying this loser.
Heard he’s from Memphis. Don’t know his profession. He probably didn’t have much of one. In an old interview I saw she said she was foolish
when it came to men.
The Steve Harvey Show lasted 6yrs.
Moesha lasted 6 yrs.
I hope this is not Jasmine Guy. Someone mention Mia Campbell that poor baby girl I saw her on youtube and it’s the saddest thing to see that those around her rather then getting her help they tape her laugh at her at her lowest while she’s having one of her episodes.
BLESS HER HEART
What gets me, all these heartbreaking violent youtube vids got people laughing and filming, they never call for help.
Me too Soul Train
it’s clear the poor girl is in serious need of help but the fools around her would rather tape her and make funny of it
I always hoped that someone she worked with on In The House would go get her and take her kicking and screaming if they have to to get her some help
I saw that youtube video of her it was so sad and sick
Heard LL tried to get her (Maia) some help.
These Hollywood ‘success’ stories should make a lot of young people change their minds about show business. Too many of these kids
fall into the same trap.
Its sad to hear of a child trying to support the entire family
on a career as uncertain as show business.
Jamie Foxworth’s life story was especially heartbreaking to watch.
True, it is sad and heartbreaking to watch
It’s a big weight for a child to carry to take care of the entire family. Which is why they end up on drugs, drinking and ending up in jail, rehab then dead. What Gary Coleman’s parents did to him was messed up til the day he died he was not having anything more to do with them
Other former child actor and actress will tell the same story of how someone in their family put pressure on them to work more to bring in more money and it caused them to resent mom, dad uncle,aunt whomever was in charge of them as they were growing up
The actor who played Dennis the Mence said he used to admire the kids in the creepy movie “Children of The Corn” because those weird looking kids how such power of killing adults. He siad his aunt and uncle was the ones on the set of Dennis the Mence and they wer horrible people. If he didn’t get his lines right they’d pull him aside and tell him if he messed up again he was going to be sorry when they get him home.
Danny Bondaduce said even thought his daddy was a producer he was jealous of him because he brough in more money from when he was on The Partridge Family
when Danny’s show was cancelled and his old man started working more he said to him “Hey Danny now I’M making more money then you
Hidoll, how you be? Damn shame how these parents rip these kids off. Same things go down with NBA and NFL families. AI went broke trying to pay all his family members bills. He also had a gambling habit.
Hey Soul Train
it is a damn shame I’ve always said that Gary Coleman’s parents play a big part of the reason he was the tyoe of person he was quick tempered and always ready to fight whenever asked to say ” Whata you talkin bout Willis” <<< that famous phrase is funny to us but to Gary it was a bitter reminder of the money his parents stole from him
Lets face it some of those parents have never seen that kind of money in a lump sum esp some black families like Gary Coleman’s parents…He was so bitter at them I wonder do they still think it was worth it…It ripped their family apart… The love of money is the root of all evil…
Poor Maia Campbell was my first and only guess. I still remember the vid on another site with her legs spread just a wide open as you please, and some sick fcuks taping her and laughing at her. She was acting like a two dollar crack whore.
I don’t even want to talk about it. I recently saw her (MC) on one of these chitlin circuit plays on Netflix. She is still a great looking girl but you can tell she been through hell. Anyways, since she was notted I can’t think of anyone else.
I can’t see jasmine Guy as a guess, to me she was on TV too much so I think people would have noticed if she was using.
One of the chicks on Family Matters, I think the one who played Laura’s friend, saw her on an ep of Blind Date acting a pure d fool! And I saw her on a cheaply made adult movie, she looked like she was on the stuff.
Ok Les must got some serious salami in his pants because I can’t understand how he getting all these broads.
The Trinity school so did John McEnroe go there too I see his picture I’m there with Bogey and Ivanka Trump. I didn’t know Bogey’s parents had stacks? Lemme research lol
*should say up there with Bogey and Ivanka Trump
Sorry for the typos on my iPhone
Hi family……I may be way off base but I was thinking Dawn Lewis???? but then i did research and her hubby was a former basketball player so I doubt if he would be slinging drugs………
Love that pic of Peabo on the front page Myra. Listening to him sing “Feel the Fire” as I type. Always thought he sung “You are my Starship”…..
@Soulsinger…….I know people can spend their money anyway they want but when you have climbed out of near impovished conditions you should be more conscience about how you spend your money. The only way I would be caught buying million dollar champagne is if my money went back 4 or 5 generations. “New money” needs to make sure they have something to pass on………
Read on a lot of boards that Dawn Lewis’s NBA playing husband beat the hell out of her, some boards said he threw her down the stairs.
Soultrain,
I remember reading that on another message board.
yep, it was all over the place, he wiped the floor with Dawn.
That’s ashame! Why would a man do that to a woman!
Hey Soul Train I was thinking Dawn Lewis also and meant to put her name down when I was writing about Jasmine Guy
Hi Hidoll…..I thought of her as she was on a Different World but also because she was on the first season of Hangin with Mr. Cooper. Then she just disappeared. Havent seen her on anything lately…..damn…cant believe she let a man beat her down like that…..
Hey Worldgurl
she has been on the downlow for years. After Mr. Cooper I didn’t see her in much either. She’s a pretty goodl actress and she has a nice singing voice as well.it’s messed up the way her ex beat her
Too bad she unable to grab something heavy like a brick, bat or hammer and put a knot upside his head so big he would have though he was in muckinland
Hey Soul Train……..If a man ever threw me down the stairs I would be getting out of jail……cannot understand why these women let men beat them down. Still dont understand how the hell Clarence Carter was beating down Candi Staton…….the man was blind for goodness sake……
@Worldgurl, Akilah, Hidoll, I found it,
Johnny Newman was sentenced to 60 Days in jail and fined $500 dollars for assaulting his wife, actress Dawnn Lewis (Hangin With Mr. Cooper, A Different World). Lewis said in a emergency-protection order that Newman attacked her in their home by grabbing her by the throat and dragging her down a flight of stairs by her legs while threatening to kill her.
Soul Train……60 days and $500 fine!!!!! its no wonder people take matters into their own hands…..he should have gotten more time for this…….hell Michael Vick got more time than this and he assaulted a dog……
My goodness. I wonder if Dawnn is still married to Newman? I hope not.
“Johnny Newman” is it me or does his name sound like the name of a pimp?
Anyway 60 days and $500 is nothing and Micheal Vick did get more jail time. That’s the kind of crap that pisses me off because had she protected herself by getting something heavy and knocking his ass cold she would have gotten longer time in jail and a higher bail
Johnny Newman is fugly darlings. He’s in the category of Flavor Flav.
Les Brown is a hypocrite. Too many women, too many marriages, too many kids. Life is a mess, in shambles, guess he’s hiding out. Gladys fell for the hokey dokey.
Hi Soul Train……I thought Les Brown was dead. I remember he had cancer….thought he died from it…..oops…..
Hes not dead but he recently had another bout with cancer, prostate I believe, but its in remission (atleast thats what has been said.) He has an internet radio show and is still traveling and speaking.
I wonder if Gladys Knight still speaks to that matchmaker bud of hers?
I would be saying sorry to this day! Lol
Never really cared for Les Brown or that Uncle Tom judge that used to come on TV
I don’t know if anybody said Wendy Raquel Robinson from Steve Harvey yet. She’s looking kind of torn up and lost. And I still wonder about Countess Vaughn. Remember she was on Star Search. I think she won the junior singing compeition. She’s never made any records that I know of, but she can sing. I always wondered why she never recorded in the studio. If Brandy could do it, she could to.
Hey Khaliah record in the studio you say..yes she did..one studio album in 1992.. title was..Countess and the one single that hit the airways was a funky new jack swing type jamz ..Wait for me. The album died a fast death and if you wanna know the truth..the whole album was a winner but they didn’t promote her.That young lady sang her yes,yes off on that album even did a cover of a James Brown song It’s a mans world.
Ok Im beginning to think the answer to the BI is countess.. the divorce scenario fits, she is a double threat by singing and acting. The only thing im not sure about is the description of her as having “looks” and talent. Im not saying shes not cute in a cartoon ladybug faced kinda way, but I dont know if Id go that far.
This better not be Piggy! Lol
I liked her on Steve Harvey’s show!
I liked Countess, she has a sass to her.
Re: Herman Cain……keep an eye on him. Remember….Obama came from out of nowhere too……Folks are intrigued by his 9-9-9 plan. If I were him I wouldnt play my cards yet. Seems like they are trying to get rid of Perry…..still eyeing this ….but will not count Mitt Romney out…he disappeared this summer wherabouts unknown………heard chatter of a Cain/Romney, Romney/Cain ticket……stay tuned…..
Hey WorldGurl,
Cain is bankrolled by the “Koch Brothers”. The Washington Post did a story on Sunday, here’s the link. http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/long-ties-to-koch-brothers-key-to-cains-campaign/2011/10/16/gIQAKTLPoL_story.html
Looks like Wall Street is giving it’s money to Romney this time around. As far as that 999 plan he should really give it another name because all I see is 666.
I hadn’t read Tuesday’s front page before I posted this. Myra is on it as usual.
AMEN! WorldGurl
Hi Shasfreespirit……….every candidate is bankrolled by someone……that 999 plan could work but it needs to be twicked to allow provisions for people who make less than $50,000. But at least he has a plan, which is more than can be said for the others…………
If Wall St. is backing Romney….look out. Also….organized labor is mad at Obama. Romney is from Michigan. His father was the former Mayor of Detroit and Former Governor of that state. It is the capital of organized labor……..if Romney can put forth a plan that sounds even a little credible….he may win….
The 999 plan is garbage. Remeber this will be a federal tax so some of use will be paying 9% sales tax on top of the any other state and local sales taxs. So you may end up paying almost 18% sales tax on a loaf a bread in some states almost 25%
Hi Missyutwo……..the plan will have to be tweeked….no sales tax on food. It is not perfect but like one economist said it may be worth looking into because everything else has not worked. Sales taxes can be imposed immediately but overhaul of the tax code could take years. We dont have years to wait, we owe the Chinese over $3 trillion dollars and it grows everyday.
Paying 25 cent tax on a loaf of bread is a bit much but at the same time if you are buying a high ticket item like a yacht or private jet you are paying too……there will be no more tax loopholes for those types of items…………
I saw a portion of a Herman Cain rally and I was not impressed. And perhaps I was holding
him to Barack Obama standards, which wasn’t fair to him. To be honest, he
broke a few verbs, which made me cringe a little, but we’ll see how things go.
Hi Winenroses……..LOL….im with you when it comes to those verbs……..LOL…..
IDK, it could be Jasmine. She’s not really in a good place. It’s weird tho that she hangs out @ the Starbucks on Crenshaw, chain-smoking. Her skin looks HORRID.
Re: Front page: Faith needs to stop it! She knows good and well she slept with Tupac and still denying after all these years. Big was with Kim first she should have walked away when he ran off and married Faith, I think once Big got on and made his money he became color blind, he only wanted very light skinned/white girls. I think this is why Kim has the problems with how she has lightened her skin and messed her once pretty face up. Sad.
Oh snap So Faith really did sleep with Pac? :O
Charm where did you get the fact that he slept with Faith.
I love Lil Kim well back then anyway, and just couldnt understand why she couldn’t let Biggie go. He married Faith over you and made you jumpoff status to the public.
Re: Faith & Pac I read it on the boards here back a few yrs. ago. Basically he slept with her just to get and make Big mad. Then he did that song ” hit em up” where he talked about how fat Faith was.
Faith is the same woman who claimed she knew nothing of the Death Row and Bad Boy feud when she was hanging out at the Death Row offices with Tupac and Suge. What a liar.
Kim needs some help. I think BIG destroyed her self esteem. She saw him with Charlie and Faith both LSLH so she started bleaching her skin. I don’t know if you all saw the talk yesterday. Kimora Lee said Barack Obama. Sheryl corrected her and said President. Kimora tried to be smart by saying “yes sir.” So direspectful. I would love to see an Obama/Kain presidential election. History will be made again.
Kim looks disfigured. When she was on the Gotti reality show, she was calling herself Kim Gotti. She has very low self esteem and race esteem. She went under the knife too many times, she has that cat woman look to her.
Lil Kim was prettier before all the cosmetic surgery. She messed up her beautiful brown skin. So sad she does not know her worth.
No man or woman should ever let anyone else second guess and or question their worth.
Is it vanity or insecurity thats making young women
destroy their faces with unneeded plastic surgery?
It may just be a myth but I’ve also heard Black skin
doesn’t react well to plastic surgery. Looking at
Lil Kim & Vivica, maybe it’s not just a myth.
Can’t see why she didn’t stop Biggie is dead so I can’t understand why you keep cutting yourself up!
She looks crazy. When you get extensive surgeries like that, you have to maintain them that means more surgeries!….smh
Lil Kim was kinda cute to me at first. But after her nose job she looks odd
Something about Kimora Lee never sat right with me. I think it is her over the top attitude. No type of respect.
OMG I THOUGH IT WAS JUST ME ABOUT KIMORA LEE
Good to know I wasn’t alone

Thanks for DSOF……..wink to the Willie Brown story……..I noticed you have mentioned or posted anything on the missing Arizona girl……Jaheysee Shockley. Authorities are saying she was kidnapped. I just pray she was not taken across the border into Mexico. I read on the board that sometimes black children are killed by cartels and their bodies are used as drug mules. I hope this is not what happened to this beautiful child……….
That Amelia whatever her name is pic gave me chills. She looks demonic!
That man’s disappearance is creepy…wonder if the witness is telling the truth. Imma go read up on that story.
Wanna say hi to a PR ol head..Hey Goddiva hope u r well wherever u are!
Oh snap!
Myra your story on Amelia Dyer really intrigued me!
I did some research on her. She was not born in poverty her father was a master shoemaker, her mother had a mental disorder(which she later died from) so Dyer would fake being crazy if she was questioned.
She became a nurse, which was ok money but was a very hard job in her time.
This is what blew me away…since the Jack the Ripper murders were going down during her time, she was also looked at as a suspect! The authorities thought the prostitutes might have been results of botched abortions performed by Dyer.
Who was Draya a jumpoff for?
Great front page! I had no idea Isaac Hayes had 12 children. I like Barry Whites music and Isaac Hayes.
It is very sad about the 3 year old with syphilis.
I agree with T.I. he is an okay artist but I don’t see the need for him to write a book. I don’t see any major accomplishments he has made just my opinion
And what kind of self help is Tiny and TI gonna write???
How to help yourself get to prison?
Go saddown sunwhurr : /
Them trannies on the FP are a hot ass ghetto looking mess, hot girls where? They need to change their name to tore up girls. The one out front look like a linebacker in salvation army getup, his followers look crazy ugly. I’m sure they didn’t get no play at their parade.
Hi Diva…..you took the words right out of my mouth. Them trannies need to stay in the closet…..LOL
Cannot get past the three year old with syphillis…..how does a 3 yr old get syphillis? When they find who did this they need to skin that person alive and slow roast them in the town square. Thats a baby…….you do not have sexual contact with babies…..
Loved Barry White and Isaac Hayes……Their music was similar in that both had beautiful orchestral arrangements in their music. Would be as shame if Barry stole from Isaac and didnt give him his props………
Great front page………

Herman Cain is being used by the white man to take down Obama. White folks believe black people don’t know anything about politics. They figured we voted for Obama just because he’s black, nevermind the fact that he is intelligent. Herman Cain is a shameless sell-out. Who has never had a kind word for his own people. (black). This clown has no one fooled… well maybe a few. Herman Cain is nothing more than a Juddas. I wouldn’t waste my spit on this sell-out if he was on fire. I don’t care what Obama has or has not done. I got his back and will continue to support him.
PREACH Secret PREACH..got his back..me too.
Hi Secret…..got to disagree with you. I know ALOT of black people who voted for Obama because he was black. Then when they found out his mother was white they wanted to take their vote back. The problem people have with Cain is that he is not sugar coating his message to black america. I appreciate the fact that he stated publicly what intellectuals have been saying privately: the Democratic Party has brainwashed black america. How can this be said…easy. In the 1970′s the Democratic controlled Congress passed legistlation that created AFDC. Under these provisions, income restrictions were placed so you could not get assistance unless you met the requirements. For black people it meant that the father left the home so the family could get cash, food and medical insurance. It is a condition from which our community has never fully recovered. Fast forward to the 1990′s when Republican controlled Congress restructured the AFDC programs requiring that recipients work or go to college in order to collect benefits. Part of this legistlation made states crack down on dead beat parents. The result: a lot of single black women became college graduates and homeowners. They and their families went from impovished conditions to middle class. So the argument can be made.
Black people need to stop referring to other blacks as “sell outs” when they do not ascribe to the “ghetto fabulous” mentality. We should also not get mad when people are vocal of their disappointment of the President. I have never understood why black people are so patient when it comes to black politicians. Many of us live in cities with black mayors where crime rates, unemployment and hopelessness are off the charts but we go to the polls and constantly re-elect them. For me it doesnt matter what your race is…..if you are not effective then you have to go…..
You better preach, I love Obama but u can’t say shit wrong about him without blacks losing their minds. Black mayors ain’t never did nothing, but blacks voted them in just because they black.
What would make you think that all black people ascribe to the ghetto fabulous mentality?? There are a lot of intelligent black people who make informed decisions about politics. You remind me of most white people who try to direct me in the way of their thinking as if I don’t have my own mind. I’m well aware of the Democratic/Republican civil rights history. White people quote the very same thing everyday on the policial blogs I go on. At the end of the day you are entitled to vote for whom ever you see fit. My mind is made up and no one can change that not even SELL-OUT Herman Cain. White man has been destroying this country for years I never remember hearing a peep out all of these couch politians. Now that a black man is running the country everyone’s an expert on the Presidency… White mayor’s do lousy jobs too at running cities as well or have you noticed that. I’m all for racially equality. But I am a realist. I’m rolling with the best man for the job Barack Obama!!!
Hi Secret……..
“What would make you think that all black people ascribe to the ghetto fabulous mentality?”
The media is saturated with negative black images to which ratings are through the roof. Communities now have to pass laws to crib the limits on baggy pants even after the President of the United States, Barack Obama, has asked men to pull up their pants.
“You remind me of most white people who try to direct me in the way of their thinking as if I dont have my own mind”
I do not post to influence anyones thinking. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Quoting facts is quoting facts. I come from a city that had one of the first black mayors in the United States. I have witnessed its decline over the years and what i say about black politicians is a statement of truth.. I take no pride in the statement but it is what it is.
“Now that a black man is running the country everyone’s an expert on the Presidency”…
Was making comments on the Presidency before Obama was elected… I even stated before his election that he was making more promises than he could keep and that if he did not keep them people would turn on him. Yes, white politicians do lousy jobs too but their constituents vote them out.
“At the end of the day you are entitled to vote for whom ever you see fit”…
Absolutely…..but do not become enraged if I , a black woman, choose not to cast my vote like you will cast yours…….
@WorldGurl,
So eloquently stated. My sentiments exactly.
On another note, people need to realize that the presidents are controlled by the elite. It doesn’t really matter if they’re Democrat or Republican; they tell us what we want to hear and deliver what the elites tell them to. I’m so tired of the Dem vs Repub debate in the black community. Just like Michael Jackson said in a song, “They don’t really care about us.” To them, we’re serfs/useless eaters.
The bottom line is. WE HAVE TO VOTE..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Hermain Cain has made it public that he did not concern himself with the civil rights movement in the 60′s. They could not beat our vote in 2008. So many states are trying to stop us from voting again. OOHHHH I forgot wrong blog (smil
)
Back to the blind item: Dawn Lewis
So this man Hermain Cain could nt be bothered with the civil rights movement, eh? Go on Missyutwo I’m listening.
And let me be clear, I need President Obama not to run out of gas. I know that he is going against a lot of opposition. And not just with the Rep but the Dems too.
I mean I was not born in the civil rights era, so I cannot quite fathom why this man would not be down with getting equal rights for himself, he would not even be able to run if their were no MLKs, Malcolms or Thurgoods to even let him utter the phrase, ” I’d like to run for potus.”
I’m not sure if everyone has read/seen this but this is more on The Debarge Family sad story. http://s1.zetaboards.com/Express_Yourself/topic/4524821/1/
It’s funny how James back in the day was so demur and girly like and to look at him now you can’t tell. He looks so manly now back then they were so handsome but drugs and drinking has taking it’s toll on them
On youtube I saw a pix of Marty and he looks weak. I pray that they all recover and that El gets his three chance and stick with it this time.
OMG!!!! A fraction of their former selves… :- (
You guys they look awful! Worse than when they were on Unsung.
Hey Soulsinger…..that is really sad. They look nothing like they use to. Bunny has aged well but James and Randy look ravished. They need to become the national spokespeople for Say No To Drugs…..
Yea they would be the best ones to take on that task..if only they would stay clean long enough.
Anyone catch “Life After” last night with Ginuwine? It was pretty good…glad to see he’s doing much better these days. Still a good lookin’ brotha too. Next week should be interesting; they’re having Christopher Williams on. They showed a clip of it with him saying rumors started spreading that he was the one that hit Halle Berry so hard when they were dating, that he busted her eardrum…wasn’t him; we all know it was Wesley “Tax Evasion” Snipes.
Hi Creole 1…….is that show on TV One or Centric????
TV One
Hi Akilah…..thanks….gonna see if old episodes are available on demand….
I watched The Debrage video again and I notice Bunny and Randy could pass for twins. The older she gets the more she looks like her mom, funny how a once good looking family now looks tired and woren out
James teeth looks false if so I’m guessing the drugs had much to do with it
All their teeth look false! And again Eldra is on magazine covers. Doing shows and performing. I mean cmon y’all leave them damn drugs alone!
I know it is not easy because its a whole psychological and chemical thing that needs to be addressed but you have to get away from familiar people, places and things. Even if that means staying away from your family until you are strong enough to be around them if they are still using.
I hate this something told me not to even look at those clips. I see a lot of shame and self medication because they dad wasn’t nothing but a perverted cracker devil mothafcuka from hell. I’m sorry gang excuse me
unseen 1 you are 100% right..finding the root of your problem..then making changes is the key. I don’t like saying this but if things don’t soon change for the better in this family..we maybe reading bout them for a different reason..God forbid.
Hi Soulsinger…..speak the truth……Papa Debarge did a number on his family. I still cannot understand why Mama Debarge did not leave her abusive husband. There is no way I would have sat around and let my husband torture my family. The Debarge children may be conflicted because their abuser was their father. I would have thought Bobby’s death would have deterred them from using. This is so, so , so sad………
I do agree that the crazy spooky daddy of theirs plays a big part in the reason all of them ar the way they are today. Mama has her role in it too even though she did say back in those days no one wanted to take her in because of all the kids. It’s too bad that after the boys reached a certain age they stood up to the father whenhe tried pushing them around( I’m sorry but I believe in some cases such as this kids MIGHT just have to raise his or her hand to the parent to protect themself) And with the things I’ve heard Papa Debrage did to his kids the older boys should have whooped a it on him even if they had to wait til he went to sleep
What he did to Bunny Mama Debrage should have beat him within a inch of his life even if it meant she spend the night in lockup
Bunny and Randy look like twins. Both look like they haven’t slept Randy could pass for the guy you see hanging out on the corner always asking for a cigerette.
Judge Judy was right when she said beauty fades because they all look like just shells of themself
I do however feel for them because they are so talented and they are victims of abuse from their father and now of drugs. I wonder if Bunny ever asked her mom why didn’t she stop that daddy of molesting her
I mean El leaving them in the dust again by trying to hold on to some modicum of pride and keep his career going while they still doping
I guess I can understand El leaving if leaving meant he was staging an intervention and he said to them I LOVE YOU BUT HEY!!! UNTIL ALL OF YOU GET HELP I’M CUTTING OFF ANY AND ALL CONTACTS WITH YOU I’LL PRAY FOR YOU BUT I CAN’T STAND BY AND WATCH YOU ALL DO THIS TO YOURSELF AND END UP LIKE BOBBY! SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME I CAN’T I JUST CAN’T!
I thought by now they had gotten themself together. The upside is they admit they have a problem and like the lady Dr said it’s easy to get off drugs the real problem is staying off drugs.
DAMN! messing around with drugs and drinking can take it’s tolls on a persons looks. They look like they’ve been up for days without sleep. Bunny’s daughter is pretty and she a strong young lady to have forgiven Bunny for the things she put her through
