This shit is crazy!!!

Hawaii Chair

We Should Be Ashamed By Christina Walker Battle

In these hard economic times, we are all having to make major financial decisions. Nowhere is this being felt more than the areas of charities. Donations to the Salvation Army as well as major food banks across the nation have taken a major hit. African Americans have been notoriously known to be the least “giving” when it comes to charitable donations, but welcome recipients. Nothing has brought this point home to me more than my personal attempts to reach out and help some children in a low-income neighborhood in Chicago this past week.

I am a substitute teacher in an economically challenged school on the West Side of Chicago. I see everyday the plight of our youth whose parents are no longer parents. They have succumb to drug usage, prison life, and most of all, lack of self-esteem exacerbated by lack of education. The children of these “parents” come to school hungry, unkempt and with a general disregard for human life – their own in particular. I recently posted an ad on Craigslist, Facebook, and Myspace asking for small donations (not monetary, mind you) for three children in particular. Here is how the ad read:

Hi! I am a substitute teacher looking to help three kids in our school that REALLY need help! They are a 7th grade boy, 5th grade girl and 1st grade girl (who is extremely tall for her age). They are lacking basic necessities such as soap, hair products, and especially CLOTHES that FIT! The boy is kinda tall but should be about 32" in the waist, the 5th grader is about a size 14 in girls or a 0-1 in juniors, and the 1st grader is about a size 8-10 in girls just because of her height. They are siblings and the mother is doing just enough to not have her children removed by DCFS. These kids are being mocked at school by other children and it is effecting their academic performance (they are all extremely bright). PLEASE, if you have any gently used closed or find it in your heart to purchase something, it would be greatly appreciated. For the 5th grade girl, donations of "girly" items such as lip gloss, nail polish, body wash, any of those things that help during the first stages of puberty would really help. Also for the boy, AXE body wash, little cologne samples or any items like that would be appreciated as well. I will come and pick up any items that you have to donate. THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!!!!!!

Let me tell you, the response was somewhat overwhelming seeing that I am one person who was doing this on my own. I received replies from so many people, and I have to say that one particular person who I went to high school with jumped into action immediately and mobilized people in her place of work as well as called on personal friends. I can't thank those individuals enough. The donations we simply toiletry items, books, a few clothing items, and even a Target gift certificate.

NOT ONE DONOR WAS AFRICAN AMERICAN! No, I retract that statement, ONE DONOR WAS AFRICAN AMERICAN! You can imagine my dismay as I received email after email, and talking to individuals on the telephone, then making pick ups - I had one African American donor. I sat there thinking, “You have to be fucking kidding me!” I had to check my email accounts again to be sure that I didn't forget anyone or that I had no overlooked anyone, and no, I hadn't. I couldn't believe that all these people whom I had attended school with, who bragged on their “baller” status, and their commitments to community service, could not take the time out to just look in their bathrooms for things that they didn't need nor use and donate. NO MONEY WAS REQUESTED AT ANY TIME!

This could have been you growing up and for many of us, it may have very well have been. As much as we talk about taking care of our own, who came to these children's rescue - my Caucasian and Asian brothers and sisters. This was a reality check for me. As African Americans, we talk the talk, but how many of us are really walking the walk?

People, our children are hurting. We are not investing in our future, yet we will have plenty to say in 10 years when we receive our ROI (Return On Investment). Wake up and get to work – OUR CHILDREN ARE COUNTING ON YOU!

Car Wash- (Reserved for women over 40 or that have the sag from childbirth) While riding your man...dip your breasts in soapy water and rub them back and forth across his face

Sniper- Get behind your man, close one eye, look in his butt-hole, reach around to hold the barrel steady...then pull the trigger until it shoots the target (overboard I know, but I do it for yall)

Where were you? May 5, 2000, Jay-Z Fights Stabbing Allegations

On this day in 2000, Shawn “Jay Z” Carter sent a video to the New York State Supreme Court that he hoped would exonerate him from first-degree assault charges for allegedly stabbing Untertainment Records founder Lance “Un” Rivera five months earlier, at a party for hip hop legend Q-Tip at Times Square’s Kit Kat Club in December 1999.

Reportedly incensed that Rivera was bootlegging his upcoming album Vol.3…The Life And Times Of S. Carter (Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam,1999), Jay-Z stabbed the label head in the stomach with a five-inch blade.

The video, which was intended to show that Jay-Z wasn’t in the vicinity when the stabbing took place, didn’t do the trick. On October 17, 2001, Jigga pled guilty to the assault, receiving three years’ probation. The entire incident was seen by the music industry as largely out of character for Jay-Z, who had made it a point to showcase a more positive business-minded image.

“It was the dumbest thing I ever did,” he told Time in 2003. "That was the turning point for me. It was like, O.K., this can all go away fast. You work hard for years, and it can all go away in a night. Slow down, big boy. Think.”

Since then the respected Brooklyn rapper and executive has seemingly made a point of doing just that, expanding his empire to include fashion, cologne, hotels and restaurants (as well as music), marrying pop R&B powerhouse Beyoncé Knowles, and separating himself as much as possible from the 1999 incident.

DKNY Sneaker Pump

From the moment Coco Rocha and Jourdan Dunn stomped down the DKNY Spring 09 runway, I knew all of my sneaker problems would be solved. I rarely ever wear sneakers simply because nothing looks hotter than a woman in a pair of sculpted heels, although

I do slip into my worn-in black leather Marc Jacob sneakers from time to time [on tired day]. But DKNY has given me the best of both worlds, perforated leather hi-top kicks with pops of color, and...a heel. Perfection. $180; dkny.com.

Off The Court Presents "AJF 6"

Air Jordan and Air Force I. The ultimate collaboration! A rare opportunity to see these two titans as "the best of both worlds," unite as one. The Jordan Brand is celebrating year 23 just as the Air Force I is coming off its 25th anniversary. As these two franchises join forces for the first time, the new visual expression is destined to become the ultimate statement for sneaker aficionados around the world. The vanguards of high performance and artistic expression have never been more united, but for every masterpiece, for every true expression of authentic merit, there are a dozen pretenders wanting a ticket to the dance. The result: an uncompromising path with access only authenticity can grant. The shoe game stands upon yet another threshold of change and this is your opportunity to be a part of the change to come. The Air Jordan Franchise and the Air Force I are joining forces, ready to establish new precedents for the future. Pushing the limits of what’s possible. To rise above, united. Created, designed and developed just for you will you be ready?

About Air Jordan 6 Rings
Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player that ever laced up a pair of sneakers, and during his time in the NBA he won 6 championship titles with the Chicago Bulls. The Jordan 6 Rings model commemorates that achievement by including elements of all 6 Air Jordan models that Jordan wore while winning his rings. This Jordan “hybrid” style has also been seen in the popular Spi’zike and Dub Zero models.

1, 2, 3 The Environment and Me

1, 2, 3 The Environment and Me

Once again Mother Nature has forced us to pay attention to her. The main stream media has taken ‘Green’ and developed a phenomenal marketing term to sell more products, produce more shows and offer different media circuits.
Green has always been mainstream to many but was not a daily subject to the masses until Global Warming took the center stage. Then came recycling pleas, energy conservation gadgets, and electric cars.
United States is one of the last countries to promote a conservative lifestyle. President Obama has devoted millions to enhance awareness to a ‘GREEN’ lifestyle. The ‘GREEN’ concept soon will be in your child’s text book. The concept will change some rules at your job and your state will make new laws to adapt to the lifestyle.
A ‘GREEN Lifestyle will be demanded but not explained. The lifestyle does not require a certain income or education level. But the ‘GREEN’ lifestyle will save you money and knowledge is power.

3 Ways You Can Save the Environment.

1. Recycle
Check your local city's website to get days for recycle pick-up
Find out what items are accepted and how to prepare them
Find services to donate old electronics
Donate reusable house hold items & clothing to charity, goodwill or friends & family

2. Conserve
Turn all appliances off when you are not using them – unplugging them saves even more
Shorten your time in the shower
Commute a few days a week to work
Cancel catalog subscriptions & shop on-line

3. Reuse
Take your own shopping bag to stores or ask for paper bags – plastic bags can not be recycled
Reuse plastic bottles – or stop buying them
Make your own household cleaners and reuse the same bottles – ex. baking soda & vinegar & h20
