But I’m sorry.. I had to laugh on this one. You know, Fox reminds me of that inappropriate white guy you met in college who was racist cause he couldn’t help it and knew no other way?
They were talking about the (Abraham) Lincoln- (Stephen) Douglas debate that Hillary Clinton has challenged Barack Obama to. The host starts rambling about how he got his intern to find ‘video’ or pictures of Lincoln and Douglas.
What did this idiot find? Check this video out...
At a conference of community associations ON THURSDAY, Bill Cosby urged the audience to stand up and confront the ills facing black Americans and “stop looking for somebody to blame.”
Speaking about the responsibilities of families in raising children, Cosby characterized his words as “blunt, but not harsh.”
“I haven’t seen the demonstrations saying, ‘I’m not allowing my children to listen to this,’” he said at the conference, hosted by Family Intervention Services and Newark Now, an organization formed by Newark, NJ Mayor Cory Booker. “It’s killing us. We’re not talking about it, and we’re not beating it down,” referring to radio stations that play music he called “pro-murder and anti-women”.
Booker called Cosby “a critical voice right now in the American context” and praised his willingness to speak out on issues without bowing to political correctness:
“This is a time for candor — we can’t beat around the bush,” Booker said. “We’ve got large percentages of our population that are underachieving. He’s speaking to the heart of the matter, and he speaks to the realities of what a lot of folks are experiencing.”
Cosby called his critics “intellectual panhandlers” who enable destructive behavior by staying silent or blaming racism.
“You’ve got these idiots who’ve got these degrees and some of them are ordained ministers and they say, ‘Bill, you’re picking on the poor,’” he said. He then drew laughs by adding, “Well, so did Jesus then. Jesus was always telling someone, `Go ye.’ Jesus was always telling people to go somewhere. And `don’t do this again or don’t do that again.’”
In the May issue of BLACK ENTERPRISE, “America’s Leading Doctors” names 140 top-notch physicians responsible for saving millions of lives through the revolutionary treatment of diseases, from cancer and diabetes to heart attacks and HIV/AIDS. Many of these doctors have been responsible for major medical breakthroughs and have participated in the creation of drugs that have vastly improved the quality of life for patients.
“A consistent objective of Black Enterprise is to communicate that without investing in the quality of our health and that of our families and communities, it is all but impossible to create sustainable, multigenerational wealth,” said Founder and Publisher Earl G. Graves Sr.
He added:
“The life of my father was cut short at the age of 46 by a heart condition that was likely both preventable and treatable. The exceptional black physicians we highlight uniquely understand the medical issues that confront African Americans. Their expertise makes them an essential part of the solution to the healthcare crisis facing black Americans and our entire nation.”
Bishop was talking about us trying to get something for nothing last night! "If it's free, I don't want it!" Well, Lil Kim shoulda told that to producer Scott Storch! And my 2cents of info is, If it's free, make sure it's PAID IN FULL! My mic is off..
The news is reporting...
Some people just don't know how to manage their money!
And those people seem to include rapper Lil' Kim.
New York's CW11 news visited Lil Kim's house, along with a repo crew. It was for a report focusing on the rising number of auto repossessions.
Wonder who tipped off the local news about her car?
Apparently, Lil' Kim hasn't paid for her silver Bentley in months though.
SCott was supposed to be making the payments, but he is having some financial difficulties in this economic time. (His Yacht was repoed last month) Anyway, you know the way to go is buy it all at once. And if you can't afford paying for a Bentley upfront, then don't buy one!
When Kim was confronted by one of the repo men, she told them her accountant would take care of it, but her car still had to be taken.
Cyro Mirando, the repo guy on site from Commercial Service Corpr the keys, said "She didn't wanna cooperate. Basically, she told us to get off the property. We were hoping that she'd give us the keys, being that it'd be the right thing to do. It's not her vehicle."
When the CW11 reporter went to confront Kim on "the economy and the issue of repossessions," Lil' Kim responded with "Oh please, get the *** out of here. You are so ******* ridiculous."
According to reports, there has been a increase of 15-20% in repos. You know the economy is bad when there's such a high rise in repossessions!!!
A rep for the repo company that took Kim's car says, "Another stereotype situation is that the people who lose their cars are poor. It's not the truth at all. The truth is it's pretty evenly distributed throughout the entire economic base."
He also adds, "We're really not there to negotiate. The customer, many times, does not understand that we're gonna take the car with or without their cooperation."
The world giveth, and the world taketh away!
