FRESH PRINCE’S 1ST AUNT VIV COULDN’T GIVE!!!!

I know I am not the only one that wondered what happened to the first Aunt Viv from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. She went from dark skinned to light skinned in a matter of episodes and not too many seemed to care to acknowledge it. More than a decade later Janet Hubert breaks her silence and apparently, she wasn’t kissing a 22 year old Will Smith’s ass. This video is just an excerpt of what’s described in her tell-all book, ‘Perfection Is Not A Sitcom Mom’. Check It Out!

Crack is Wack! But at least now a crack sentence will almost match a cocaine sentence

So you know how in the 80s everybody was like all into crack (but really it was seen as a black problem so they began throwing blacks in jail with super harsh jail sentences while cocaine lovers frolicked and flourished?) Well if you’ve been missing out on crack because of the astronomic sentence (crack:cocaine=100:1). Good news! Crack sentences just go a whole lot lighter. … Continue Reading

Happy Birthday?

July 26, 2010 would have been the 23^rd birthday of my late Cousin Michael Lamont Johnson. Instead, on December 10^th, 2005, Mikey, as he was known by most (and so many others names to so many others) was slain by gun violence at the age of 18. When I logged into Facebook this morning, I saw a post from my sister and she had changed her profile picture to one of Mikey and my oldest niece. Since she was only two years old at the time, it is not likely that she will have any vivid memories of him. It occurred to me as I was looking at the picture however, that she, as well as my younger niece and nephews who were yet to be born while he was still alive, will be affected by his life and death.

For A Lifetime of Happiness, Amputate Your Legs

Today the feminist blog Jezebel posted the results of an online survey that asked 1600 Christian guys what a good Christian woman needs to do to be appropriately modest, thus securing a good Christian husband. I thought it’d be helpful for all you lovely female 99problems readers if I boiled the results down into three rules of thumb:

1. If a man isn’t treating you like an amputee, you’re doing something wrong. Any clothing that “draws too much attention to the chest”, legs or rear is taboo; men need to be under the impression we possess none of those physical attributes. I guess this explains the whole fixation on opening doors for us, although at that level of disability they should really just carry us everywhere.

2. If you must insist on having breasts, at least try not to walk around too much, or stretch. “Seeing a girl stretching” and “seeing a girl’s chest bounce when she is walking or running” is considered a “stumbling block” by many of these young men.

By now we’re all standing stock-still in full body jumpsuits. At least we’ve still got our personalities! Oh, wait, “An immodest lady is loud, proud, and dresses in a way that communicates such an attitude”. So. . .

3. Keep quiet, and don’t forget to hate yourself!

I know some of you must be thinking, “Great suggestions, Rachel, but what if I have goals in life other than securing a good Christian husband, and some of them might require me to walk around?” Have fun in hell.

For some more in depth, slightly less sarcastic analysis, check out the Jezebel post.

Judge Blocks Key Sections of Arizona’s Immigration Law

A judge on Thursday blocked the most controversial sections of Arizona’s new immigration law from taking effect, handing a major legal victory to opponents of the legislation.

The law will still take effect Thursday, but without many of the provisions that angered opponents — including sections that required officers to check a person’s immigration status while enforcing other laws. The judge also put on hold a part of the law that required immigrants to carry their papers at all times, and made it illegal for undocumented workers to solicit employment in public places.

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton put those sections on hold until the courts resolve the issues.

Opponents say the law will lead to racial profiling and is trumped by federal immigration law.
