It doesn't matter if you've admitted to beating your girlfriend, or if you use every word other than \"woman\" to describe females. If you are rich and famous, you're suddenly sexy, cool and dateable. That's just the way things work for some teenagers (and some grown folks too).<br><br>As I rode in the car for 16 hours listening to the radio with my daughters, I noticed that Lil Wayne seemed to feature in every song. I think I upset the girls when I said, \"Yeah, Lil Wayne's song about wanting to have sex with every girl in the world reminds me of Eazy-E...Oh by the way, he eventually died of AIDS.\"<br><br>Yes, I had just puked on my daughters' parade, but I had to say it. Kids don't want to hear that kind of stuff, it disrupts their celebrity buzz. So, the same way my daughters grimaced when I compared Lil Wayne to Eazy-E, some execs at BET might grimace when they read this article. I hope they will take comfort in the fact that I am not into blanket indictments. But that never seems to matter in a dichotomous world, where you are either a critic or a supporter. I'm just a man with a brain and two eyeballs, and I try to use them both.<br><br>I've done a great deal of work with BET, and I've always loved it. The staff is courteous, respectful and professional. Many of their specials have been informative, progressive and provocative. I do not, however, consider the most recent BET Awards to be one of these shows.<br><br><b>The great challenge for BET is that there is a genuine concern from the African American community that BET has slipped away from acknowledging any kind of double bottom line that merges necessary profitability with equally critical social responsibility. For every million dollars earned in revenue, there is at least another 20 million dollars in lost productivity created by a generation that was raised to shake their butts in the club all night while holding a bottle of Cristal. Now, every black boy wants to be a rapper, and millions of little girls think that the word \"bitch\" or \"hoe\" in a song means that the rapper is talking about somebody else. Sorry sweetie, but Soulja Boy wants to \"super soak\" you too, and you're dancing while he says it.</b><br><br>For the sake of full disclosure, I am a huge fan of some hip hop and R&B music. But we would be insane to not be disturbed by the trends that have been created by BET, arguably the most influential network in the black community, especially among young people. R. Kelly's situation might be a good example. Right after the allegations of child molestation (among other things) against Kelly, BET proceeded to honor him at the BET Awards, in addition to giving him one of the longest performances of the evening.<br><br>While I can certainly understand allowing him to be a part of the show (after all, he was found not guilty - cough cough), I cannot agree with the message being sent to our young girls, that a videotaped urination on a little girl can be written off simply as eccentric celebrity behavior. But again, we all know that R. Kelly was found not guilty (cough cough). In spite of all that, I would argue that some degree of conscious prudence might have been called for in that situation. The tragedy of the corporate model is that it trains us to ignore blatant sexism, racism and everything else, all for the sake of maximizing our revenue stream. Morals and values just don't pay the bills.<br><br>This year's BET Awards show was also interesting.<b> I can't help but wonder why there were what appeared to be really young girls dancing on the stage with Lil Wayne as he and others repeatedly stated that they wish they could \"bleep every girl in the world.\" What's scary is that I truly believe they were serious in their objective. What's even scarier in a community plagued with alarming rates of HIV is that there are young men and women who emulate the behavior of Lil Wayne in their everyday lives.</b><br><br><b>I'm not \"hatin\" on Lil Wayne, and I'm certainly not out to attack BET. But there must be a point where enough is enough. Whatever poison exists within the organizational structure of this network that breeds such disturbing and socially destructive programming needs to be challenged. As a business school professor, I know how organizations work. So, the problem is that the same social sickness that impedes the progress of many of our greatest HBCUs is probably keeping BET from doing the right thing.</b><br><br>My greatest hope is that the intelligent minds that run BET will take a second and realize their personal power to gain the courage to critically assess what the network has become. I firmly believe that if the leadership is presented with a model that is both profitable and responsible, they will gladly use it.<br><br>The truth is that the public trust has been betrayed and the power of media has been underestimated. When our kids are literally being brainwashed with images that ultimately affect their physical and mental health, it's time for all of us to step up to the plate. </blockquote><br>(emphasis is mine) As far as I'm concerned this Sistah hit EVERY nail on the head. BET needs to either reform or be gone. I've started watching TVOne, and I hope TVOne starts getting more recognition, especially now that Roland will have a show there. <br><br>I had to bookmark this site, looks like a lot of really good content, and it's not all about the \"typical\" things you see described as \"black\" issues.", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2009-07-06_15:04:19", "killed": false, "user_key": "Muzikal203", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": false, "votable": true, "date": "5 months ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 3, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 5, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "12237022": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "Has anyone else seen this:<br><br><a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX53fN_DYx8\" rel=\"nofollow\">GMA: Exclusive Video of Michael Jackson with his children</a><br><br><a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw63zfTcXDk&feature=player_embedded\" rel=\"nofollow\">Video of Michael Jackson with his son Prince</a><br><br><a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_XkDVmkjBU&feature=player_embedded\" rel=\"nofollow\">Video of Michael Jackson with his children (20/20 segment)</a>", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2009-07-06_21:59:41", "killed": false, "user_key": "lamh", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": false, "votable": true, "date": "5 months ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "12237027": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "Strange, isn't it?", "is_last_child": true, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2009-07-06_22:00:06", "killed": false, "user_key": "Justice58", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": false, "votable": true, "date": "5 months ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": 12234540, "depth": 2, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "12233957": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "uh-huh.

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-12208349" class="dsq-comment-message">Here\'s a great article on that <a href="http://www.thegrio.com/2009/07/i-write-this-article-at.php" rel="nofollow">TheGrio</a> site:<br><br><blockquote>I write this article at the risk of offending my daughters, who are all in the "We think Lil Wayne and Chris Brown were sent by God" age group. It doesn\'t matter if you\'ve admitted to beating your girlfriend, or if you use every word other than "woman" to describe females. If you are rich and famous, you\'re suddenly sexy, cool and dateable. That\'s just the way things work for some teenagers (and some grown folks too).<br><br>As I rode in the car for 16 hours listening to the radio with my daughters, I noticed that Lil Wayne seemed to feature in every song. I think I upset the girls when I said, "Yeah, Lil Wayne\'s song about wanting to have sex with every girl in the world reminds me of Eazy-E...Oh by the way, he eventually died of AIDS."<br><br>Yes, I had just puked on my daughters\' parade, but I had to say it. Kids don\'t want to hear that kind of stuff, it disrupts their celebrity buzz. So, the same way my daughters grimaced when I compared Lil Wayne to Eazy-E, some execs at BET might grimace when they read this article. I hope they will take comfort in the fact that I am not into blanket indictments. But that never seems to matter in a dichotomous world, where you are either a critic or a supporter. I\'m just a man with a brain and two eyeballs, and I try to use them both.<br><br>I\'ve done a great deal of work with BET, and I\'ve always loved it. The staff is courteous, respectful and professional. Many of their specials have been informative, progressive and provocative. I do not, however, consider the most recent BET Awards to be one of these shows.<br><br><b>The great challenge for BET is that there is a genuine concern from the African American community that BET has slipped away from acknowledging any kind of double bottom line that merges necessary profitability with equally critical social responsibility. For every million dollars earned in revenue, there is at least another 20 million dollars in lost productivity created by a generation that was raised to shake their butts in the club all night while holding a bottle of Cristal. Now, every black boy wants to be a rapper, and millions of little girls think that the word "bitch" or "hoe" in a song means that the rapper is talking about somebody else. Sorry sweetie, but Soulja Boy wants to "super soak" you too, and you\'re dancing while he says it.</b><br><br>For the sake of full disclosure, I am a huge fan of some hip hop and R&B music. But we would be insane to not be disturbed by the trends that have been created by BET, arguably the most influential network in the black community, especially among young people. R. Kelly\'s situation might be a good example. Right after the allegations of child molestation (among other things) against Kelly, BET proceeded to honor him at the BET Awards, in addition to giving him one of the longest performances of the evening.<br><br>While I can certainly understand allowing him to be a part of the show (after all, he was found not guilty - cough cough), I cannot agree with the message being sent to our young girls, that a videotaped urination on a little girl can be written off simply as eccentric celebrity behavior. But again, we all know that R. Kelly was found not guilty (cough cough). In spite of all that, I would argue that some degree of conscious prudence might have been called for in that situation. The tragedy of the corporate model is that it trains us to ignore blatant sexism, racism and everything else, all for the sake of maximizing our revenue stream. Morals and values just don\'t pay the bills.<br><br>This year\'s BET Awards show was also interesting.<b> I can\'t help but wonder why there were what appeared to be really young girls dancing on the stage with Lil Wayne as he and others repeatedly stated that they wish they could "bleep every girl in the world." What\'s scary is that I truly believe they were serious in their objective. What\'s even scarier in a community plagued with alarming rates of HIV is that there are young men and women who emulate the behavior of Lil Wayne in their everyday lives.</b><br><br><b>I\'m not "hatin" on Lil Wayne, and I\'m certainly not out to attack BET. But there must be a point where enough is enough. Whatever poison exists within the organizational structure of this network that breeds such disturbing and socially destructive programming needs to be challenged. As a business school professor, I know how organizations work. So, the problem is that the same social sickness that impedes the progress of many of our greatest HBCUs is probably keeping BET from doing the right thing.</b><br><br>My greatest hope is that the intelligent minds that run BET will take a second and realize their personal power to gain the courage to critically assess what the network has become. I firmly believe that if the leadership is presented with a model that is both profitable and responsible, they will gladly use it.<br><br>The truth is that the public trust has been betrayed and the power of media has been underestimated. When our kids are literally being brainwashed with images that ultimately affect their physical and mental health, it\'s time for all of us to step up to the plate. </blockquote><br>(emphasis is mine) As far as I\'m concerned this Sistah hit EVERY nail on the head. BET needs to either reform or be gone. I\'ve started watching TVOne, and I hope TVOne starts getting more recognition, especially now that Roland will have a show there. <br><br>I had to bookmark this site, looks like a lot of really good content, and it\'s not all about the "typical" things you see described as "black" issues.</div>\

Pete King, R-N.Y., following the critical remarks the congressman made about the recently deceased pop icon.<br><br>Over the weekend, King said that the media had gone far over the top in glorifying Jackson, who he deemed a "low-life" pervert who "may have been a good singer" and "did some dancing."<br><br>Now, an ActBlue fundraising site has been set up by "A fan of Michael Jackson" titled "Michael Jackson Fans AGAINST Peter King."<br><br>"Peter King ought to let Jackson rest in peace, and focus on the needs of his constituents. As we mourn the loss of an American legend, political grandstanding is not what we need right now!" the page reads. "Fans of Michael Jackson and his legacy stand united against Peter King\'s hateful words. Please donate here to show Peter King that true MJ fans won\'t stand for the smearing of a pop sensation!"<br><br>The fund is being set up to benefit the Democratic nominee for New York\'s third congressional district -- a reliable Republican stronghold. The problem is that at this time, there is no Democratic nominee. And King has flirted with a run for New York\'s governor\'s chair in 2010. Still, it will be interesting to see the extent to which Michael Jackson devotees can mobilize politically. Who would have thought that the King of Pop\'s legacy would become a partisan issue?</blockquote></div>\

Click here for the full report and here (pdf) for a list with just legal staff.<br>White House Counsel Gregory Craig tops the list, naturally, at $172,200. By comparison, the former partner at Williams & Connolly made $1.7 million last year, according to a disclosure report released in April.<br>Below Craig, three people with the title of deputy White House counsel come in at $158,500: Daniel Meltzer, a longtime Harvard Law professor who is principal deputy; Cassandra Butts, a former vice president at the liberal Center for American Progress; and Mary DeRosa, deputy counsel for national security who previously worked on the Senate Judiciary Committee.<br>The list includes 12 people with the title of associate White House counsel, at a salary of $130,500. It also includes several detailees from other federal agencies. Virginia Canter, for example, detailed from the Treasury Department, is listed at $163,940.<br>Most of the salaries are the same as those paid to Bush administration lawyers a year ago. In January, President Barack Obama announced a pay freeze for those in the White House making more than $100,000 a year.<br><br>Subscribe to The National Law Journal<br><br><a href="http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1202431985042&Just_How_Much_Do_Lawyers_in_the_White_House_Make" rel="nofollow">http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=120243198...</a></div>\

However, with all due respect to the man in his passing, if I had a child, I would not have made the same decision.<br><br>When group think becomes involved, extremes come into play. Could Rep. King have found a better way to say what he said:  YES.  Was there an element of truth in what he said:  YES.  The MJ media coverage is out of control.<br><br>Celebrate the music and remarkable accomplishments of his career, but while he gave us pleasure, and his music is the soundtrack to many important moments in our life --- Michael Jackson was the Alpha & Omega.  At least not for my universe.<br><br>And it is hypocritical to an extent for everyone to act like they did not distance themselves, stop buying his music, whatever because they were uncomfortable with what they saw of Michael as a person.  <br><br>Personally my heart breaks for him, because at least with everything we could observe about him and various quotes I have read, he was not a happy person.  We are reminded the money and fame can not fill your soul.  I hope he at least found a measure of happiness with his children.<br><br>I also am not impressed by reports that Child Protective Services are supposedly interviewing his children to find out about their live with Michael.  That is cruel if it is true and WTH does it matter now.  If you cared so much, where were U before?</div>\

I\'m sorry, but what exactly does coverage of MJ have to do with Peter King, he like most of us can just change the channel, or choose not to respond to commentary with which we don\'t really care for.<br><br>Even here on JJP, a number of things are posted by the admin, and my fellow commenters, but is there some obligaton for me to discuss them.  No, but just because I\'m not interested, doesn\'t  mean I gonna tell those who are "what\'s the big deal about such an such?"

He was shot four times and his death has been ruled a homicide. She was shot once and Aaron said police are still waiting for ballistic and gunpowder residue tests before deciding if she was slain or committed suicide.<br><br>Their bodies were found in a Nashville condominium leased by McNair, who was 36.<br><br>Aaron said that as far as he knows McNair was not with Kazemi when she got the gun.</blockquote><br><br>and then there\'s <a href="http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2009/07/sahel-kazemi-wanted-to-marry-steve-mcnair/" rel="nofollow">this</a>:<br><br><blockquote>According to The Tennessean, Kazemi had discussed visiting a shooting range with Farzin Abdi, and had mentioned that she was unhappy living alone.<br><br>They discussed the potential for Kazemi acquiring a gun permit, but according to Abdi, "She told me she didn\'t have to because Steve had lots of guns."<br><br>Steve, 36, married Mechelle McNair in 1997, and no accounts of the couple\'s separation have been reported. The McNairs have four children together.<br><br>Soheyla Kazemi, Sahel\'s sister, rejected theories that her sister may have orchestrated a murder-suicide, killing the former football great and herself.<br><br>"It’s not true. She loves Steve too much," Soheyla Kazemi said in an interview with the Florida Times-Union. "She said they were planning to get married."<br><br>Nashville police have solicited the help of the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to trace the origin of the gun they found at the crime scene Saturday.</blockquote><br><br>I am just fascinated by this whole story, but I feel horrible for his wife, Mechelle, who didn\'t even know about the affair until his ass ended up dead in a condo she probably didn\'t even know about. All of these reports of infidelity lately have me thinking I don\'t even want to bother getting married when I do find the right guy, we\'ll just be like Oprah and Steadman (but without the money, but if I have the money, that\'s okay too ~lol~)</div>\

I get tired of situations like this, where people completely lie on me, and I\'m sick of it . . . I want to set the record straight." <br><br><br>Jackson first denies bleaching his skin. "I\'m a black American and I\'m proud of it. And I\'m honoured of it," he says. "The bleached skin rumour, which is a rumour. I don\'t bleach my skin. He adds: "They say-they once said-I wanted a white kid to play me as a child, which was a rumour." <br><br><br>Then he blurts out: "I\'m not gay."
