DJ Willie Shakes Gets Tested!

February 7, 2012 is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day – a national HIV/AIDS testing and treatment community mobilization initiative designed to encourage blacks across the United States and territorial areas to get educated, get tested, get involved, and get treatment for HIV/AIDS, as it continues to devastate black communities.

In recognition of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, I went to take the rapid HIV swab test. I’m not a big fan of needles and this one is more convenient. You get the results in 20 mins. Mine were negative! Your turn…NO EXCUSES!!!

Now I’m not against kids having pizza and french fries on occasion, but should pizza sauce really count as a vegetable?

The 10 Cancer Commandments

Cancer has been around forever and has not shown any signs of leaving any time soon. It has killed so many. How much more will it take? How much more can we take?

Personally, I would rather be doing other things right now than to have to watch my grandmother on the frontlines battling cancer… again, from 2,000 miles away. In fact, I just got a call two days ago from my siblings telling me grandma was rushed to the hospital again for some issues due to her diagnosis. Cancer is a beast!

After the jump, the homie Chuck Creekmur from AllHipHop allows his mother Syliva, a survivor of 20 years, to give us all some rather inspiring advice on how to identify and defeat cancer… Obey These Commandments!!!

Fifty percent say that it should be legal, while 46 percent say it shouldn’t. Liberals have the highest percentage at 69 percent, young people come in next at 62 percent. Last year, a similar Gallup poll showed 70 percent favor doctors making marijuana legal for medical pain and suffering.
