African American Dating Issues Cartoons Can't Make A Black Woman Happy
A cartoon has hit the net parodying the issues people face dating in a Hip-Hop ridden society.
Not too far from the truth, it takes a look at how Black women overlook good working Black men because they aren’t ballers. To the female character playing him because he’s not in the realm of Weezy and other Hip-Hop ballers, the gentlemen responds, “Lil Wayne has a lot of baby mamas, a bad drug problem and is in jail.” When she says she wants a man like T.I. he says, “He’s on his way to jail,” and tells her that Lebron James, “Hasn’t married his baby mama and has a commitment issue, ask the Cleveland Cavaliers.”

Def funny but serious at the same time.

Lawsuits Claim Bishop Eddie Long Coerced Two Young Men Into Sex



I am still praying that this is a vicious rumor! What is going on with men in church in boys? It is something that happen to a friend of mine and his adopted father which was a pastor as well... 
Two men filed lawsuits against mega-church pastor Bishop Eddie Long Tuesday accusing him of coercing them into having sex with him in exchange lavish trips, cars and cash.
Long, the Bishop of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Georgia with over 25,000 members adamantly denies the claims.
The spiritual leader's attorney Craig Gillen has released a statement on the accusations saying,
“It is unfortunate that these two young men have chosen to take this course of action."
The two men, Anthony Flagg, 21, and Maurice Robinson, 20, both claim that they were chosen as the pastor's “spiritual sons” and have been having inappropriate relations with him since the age of 16, the legal age of consent in Georgia.
Attorney Gillen noted that Maurice Robinson was arrested in June 2010 in connection with a burglary in the church along with 19-year-old Anthony Boyd who assisted in stealing an Ipad and an Iphone.
According to Robinson's attorney B.J. Bernstein however, his actions were in retaliation after learning that he was not the pastor's only “spiritual son.”
She tells the Atlanta Journal Constitution,
“He lashed out but if it weren't for that act, we wouldn't know about this. He talked to his friends and learned Long had other ‘spiritual sons.'”
The lawsuits name Long, New Birth Missionary Baptist Church and its Longfellows Youth Academy as defendants.
Attorney Bernstein says she has text messages, emails and photographs of Long with the men as proof.
Robinson says when he was 15 years old he began spending personal time with the pastor and at some point was added to the church's payroll.
He also says he was taken on a trip to New Zealand with the pastor where “sexual touching and other sexual acts” occurred.
At one point the suit claims that Long bought Flagg a Ford Mustang.

Lena Horne
AKA Lena Mary Calhoun Horne

Born: 30-Jun-1917
Birthplace: Brooklyn, NY
Died: 9-May-2010
Location of death: Manhattan, NY
Cause of death: unspecified


Gender: Female
Race or Ethnicity: Black
Sexual orientation: Straight
Occupation: Singer, Actor

Nationality: United States
Executive summary: Stormy Weather

Lena Horne was a singer, dancer, actress, and activist who had a wildly successful career as a nightclub performer and recording artist. She was also a noted stage actress, but her success in Hollywood was cut short because of her outspoken activism and African-American heritage.

Horne's father earned a comfortable living, although exactly how he earned it was never clearly explained. Her parents separated when she was a toddler. She was raised by her grandparents, but occasionally toured with her mother, a struggling stage actress. Horne started working as a chorus girl at the age of 14. Within two years she was singing at Harlem's legendary Cotton Club, where Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington served as almost surrogate fathers, shielding her from the seedy side of the business. At 18, she married a preacher's son, and at 25 they were divorced.

She was often told she could increase her stage and touring paychecks by "passing" as white or Hispanic, something she never did, and when she came to Hollywood she insisted she would never play a maid. As a result, most of her movie roles were limited to a few minutes of on-screen singing, with the explicit understanding that her performance would be snipped out for the film when it was shown in theaters in the American South.

Her first memorable movies were both made in 1943. She starred opposite Mr Bojangles, Bill Robinson, in the romantic musical Stormy Weather, and famously sang the title tune. And she played sweet Georgia Brown in the soul-searching drama Cabin in the Sky with Louis Armstrong and Eddie Anderson. In addition to "Stormy Weather," her biggest hits include "'Deed I Do", "As Long As I Live", and Cole Porter's "Just One Of Those Things". At 33, she began singing with an otherwise-white swing band, but eventually left the group when she became frustrated by segregated hotels and restaurants.

During World War II, like many American performers, she toured Europe entertaining American troops. She became controversial, however, when she refused to sing for segregated audiences, leading to "one-night integration" for numerous military concerts, and more often performing at black-only venues. When she was not allowed to perform on the bases, she instead sang at whatever local nightclub welcomed African-American customers.

An outspoken black woman, Horne's Hollywood options were limited, and her film career came to a sudden halt after her 1947 marriage to a white man, composer/conductor Lennie Hayton. They were one of the first racially-mixed couples in show business, in a time when such marriages were not just controversial, but still illegal -- the ceremony took place in France, to sidestep a California law against miscegenation.

She worked for civil rights, and was blacklisted in the communist scare of the 1950s, although she always said that the most "radical" group she had ever joined also counted Eleanor Roosevelt as a member. For all her adult life, she was active with the NAACP, the National Council of Negro Women, and the Urban League, speaking at protests and singing at fundraisers.

In 1969's Death of a Gunfighter, she played the whorehouse madame who slept with the town marshal, Richard Widmark. She was one of the narrators of That's Entertainment III, and for several years she shilled Sanka decaffeinated coffee in commercials and on billboards. In her last film performance, perhaps best-known to present-day audiences, she played Glenda the Good Witch in The Wiz, with Diana Ross as Dorothy and Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow. She said she never sang when she was alone, owned few of her own records, and always suffered from stage fright.

Horne asked Janet Jackson to star in an autobiographical film of her life, but changed her mind after Jackson's breast became briefly visible during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show. Instead, Horne later said she would prefer Whitney Houston play her in any film.

Horne's maternal grandfather, Samuel Scottron, invented an adjustable rear view mirror.
