I can't even think of the caption that should go along with this video. Shown are former presidents Bush and Clinton on a trip to Haiti. At first view I laughed, histerically at that, but when seeing the BIGGER picture, it's one of the saddest things I've ever seen. A man who was once the president of this UNITED States whipes his hand after shaking the hand of another human being. What could have been going on in his head, does he see them as filthy, dirty, beneath him? I'm, to say the least, disgusted. You claim to be there for philanthropic purposes, yet you deem youself too good for the likes of the one's you've supposedly gone to assist. I REALLY want yo know your views on this...am I being extra. How do y'all feel?

Wal-Mart Associate asks "All Black People" to Leave...I say go to Target
It's sad to say, but I'm not at all surprised by this incident, but I AM surprised that it occurred in Jersey. Just the other day, the Sheriff followed me and my acquaintances out of iHop accusing us of not paying, when he CLEARLY saw me break out that $20 bill...hell, I even gave that bitch a tip that she didn't deserve. All this to say, we've come a long way, but we're not there yet. "Keep your eye on the prize."
Wal-Mart officials are looking at security tapes after an announcement was made for "all black people'' to leave a store in South Jersey.
A man used the public-address system at the Route 42 store in Washington Township Sunday night and calmly announced: "Attention Wal-Mart customers: All black people leave the store now.''
Patricia Covington and Shelia Ellington were inside the store when it happened and told the Courier Post that customers and store employees looked stunned when they heard it.
"In 2010, I want to know why such statements are being made because it flies in the face of what we teach them [our kids] at home, and that's tolerance for people," said Ellington.
Ellington and other customers let store management and police know they were upset.
They asked the store to use the same announcement system to apologize to customers that night, which it did.
Wal-Mart management called the incident "unacceptable," and said it's working to make sure nothing like this happens at any other stores.
Washington Township police and the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office are investigating the incident as a possible bias crime.
"I can't believe it in this day and age," Covington told the paper. "Wal-Mart needs to be more responsible."
Covington and Elllington are boycotting the store.

Goo Goo for GaGa...and Bey
It's nice to see that some artist still create ART in their music videos. I haven't seen a video with an actual storyline in a minute. Lady Gaga's acting was superb (for a vid) and she never ceases to amaze me with her costumes. Beyonce...ehhh. NO COMMENT!

Kanye'd At the Oscars
For those who missed the Oscars, there were a few moment of absolute hilarity. Some people simply have no couth. LMAO. In the video below, Roger Ross Williams gets Kanye'd by Elinor Burkett. She was rude as hell for this one...Other highlights were Monique (does she have a last name) winning Best Female Supporting role, and Precious winning Best Adapted Screenplay.

President Ammons Addresses SexTape Scandal
I know by now you have seen, or at least heard of the sextape from alleged FAMU students. The video was a disgrace to say that least, but there has been no proof showing that the participants in the video actually attend the historically black Florida A&M University. The participants are supposedly actors who got paid $10,000 to post a video on DormDare.com. Below is a memorandum from the president of the institution addressing the issue.
FROM: President James H. Ammons
RE: Internet Video
This correspondence informs you of a situation that has surfaced.
The matter involves a sexually explicit website that advertises and
displays a video that was allegedly made at a historically black
college or university in Florida . In addition, the name of the video
posted is “BigRattler 77.”
We have not determined if the individuals in the video are students
of Florida A&M University (FAMU), or any other college or university.
It has been determined, however, that the residential facility
featured is not a FAMU dormitory. The Division of Student Affairs is
further investigating whether this involves any other FAMU facility or
FAMU students.
This video is quickly traveling around through cyberspace and we are
starting to receive calls from concerned students and alumni. In light
of this, I wanted to inform you and other university stakeholders,
including our alumni, that regardless of the video title and status of
the persons appearing in the video, FAMU does not endorses the
website, video or behavior of its participants. We are encouraging
the owners of the site to remove the word “Rattler” from the video
title.
Again, this letter was written to ensure that you are aware of the
situation and that you are informed with accurate information.

CREATIVITY
This monologue taken from Kanye West's blog is one of the many reasons why I love Kanye, both as an artist and an individual. I don't believe he's a menace, just misunderstood, as we all are at times. He's currently working on his new album to be released later this year.
