Just thought this was funny
The Toronto raptor fans are being allowed to wear F.U.V.C. to the Playoff games featuring between Raptors and Nets. This is in Direct response to how Vince Carter left the franchise by forcing a trade with Sub par play almost 3yrs ago. Basically he wanted out they refused to let him go, so he play'd like shit on purpose to make them trade him. Now a bunch of mad as fuck Canucks are showing up to every game to say he sucks. Pure Comedy
Girl, 5, raped, killed with her jump rope

Monique Fulgham
A 5-year-old girl neighbors described as "beautiful" was raped, strangled with her jump rope and hanged from a closet door last night in her Bronx apartment, police sources said.
Monique Fulgham's grandmother made the gruesome discovery about 6 p.m., cops said.
The kindergartner, who attended Public School 153 and went by the nickname Mone, was taken to Our Lady of Mercy Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead on arrival. Sources said neither the girl's mother, identified by neighbors as Jackie Williams, 28, nor her grandmother, Miriam Williams, 63, were in the apartment at the time of the attack. Detectives continued to grill the women into the morning and were suspicious because of inconsistencies in their statements about who had access to their apartment, a source said.
The grandmother told cops she found Monique unconscious, hanging from the closet door, sources said. "This is really one grisly murder," a shaken investigator said.
The slaying happened in a seventh-floor flat on Bivona St. at the Boston Secor Houses, Eastchester. The apartment is right next to an elevator, possibly giving the killer a quick exit. Neighbors said Monique lived in the apartment with her mother, her grandmother, an aunt, four siblings and several cousins, the oldest being a 13-year-old girl.
There were no men living there, said neighbor Edna Ford, 70, who baby-sat for Monique.
Officials with the city's Administration for Children's Services took custody of several children in the apartment last night. Ford said Monique's mother recently began attending college and working at a Gap store.
Another baby-sitter, Kisha Stewart, said Monique dreamed of being a doctor and loved to dance to hip hop. "She was beautiful, just wonderful," said Stewart, who said she used to see Monique jumping rope outside, when she wasn't riding her bike - "her favorite thing."
Sarges, officer called us ho's - female cops

Two NYPD sergeants and a Brooklyn officer are under investigation for allegedly calling female colleagues "nappy-headed ho's" in two separate incidents that came days after radio jock Don Imus uttered the same racist jab, officials said yesterday.
One of the sergeants already has been booted from his Brooklyn post and stripped of supervisory duties, NYPD brass confirmed yesterday.
The women - three are black and one is Hispanic - have each filed complaints with the NYPD's Office of Equal Employment Opportunity, NYPD officials said.
"Don't give me no lip before I have to call you a nappy-headed ho," a Queens narcotics sergeant barked at Detective Aretha Williams, according to Williams.
Williams, a 15-year veteran who is black, said yesterday she was "ripped to the core" by the crass remark that came "a week and a half ago." Imus was fired April 12 for referring to Rutgers University's women's basketball players as "nappy-headed ho's."
In a separate case, three female officers in Brooklyn's 70th Precinct have accused a sergeant of calling them "ho's" before roll call April 15, according to Lt. Victor Swinton, president of the NYPD Guardians Association.
A male officer chimed in with "nappy-headed ho's," Swinton said.
The details of the incidents remain under investigation, but Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly condemned the use of the insults in any situation.
"This language is unacceptable under any circumstances and even more egregious when it comes from individuals in positions of authority," Kelly said.
City Councilman Charles Barron, speaking yesterday at a press conference organized by 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care to discuss the Queens incident, called on Mayor Bloomberg and Kelly to meet with Williams.
"This language simply cannot be tolerated, but I have confidence in Commissioner Kelly to swiftly investigate these complaints and take appropriate action," Swinton said.
The female cops in the Brooklyn incident also plan to file a federal discrimination lawsuit, Swinton said.
The Queens sergeant was described by Barron as a white male eligible for retirement. The male sergeant and officer in Brooklyn's 70th Precinct are Hispanic, according to Swinton.
The sergeant in the Queens case is due to be interviewed by investigators tomorrow, Assistant Chief Michael Collins said. The Brooklyn officer also will be interviewed.

**UPDATE**
Whoopi has a VERY funny comedy thing she did on Bravo called 'The World Word According To Whoopi', which she ends with this joke:
There's a black baby angel in heaven, flying around just enjoying himself when in the distance he sees God.
The black baby angel says 'Hey God, can I ask you a question?'
God says 'Yes'.
The black baby angel flies over to God and says 'God, since I have these wings, does that mean I'm an angel?'
God says 'No nigger, you're a bat.'
Watch that show!
**UPDATE II**
The Whoopi show is called 'The WORD According To Whoopi'.

Now dont get excited, I still aint get none (LOL) but they finally got that mudduck outta there! I had originally posted something else but I felt a need to revamp LOL.
Nothing eloquent to be said today, just Hallelujah and Thank You Jesus for somebody finally having good enough sense to send that lil boy packing.
LOL @ American Idol turning Sanjaya into a James Bond type in the Ford commercial… and LOL @ him changing the words in his final rendition of "Something to Talk About" to include a sneak dis about his hair LMAOOOOO! That boy crazy.
Martina McBride did her thing though, yall niggas be sleepin on the country folks. The song she did last night was pretty basic, but homie got some lungs on her. The song was actually (I thought) a perfect fit for the show, but it was kind of a perfect fit for my state of mind last night too. so let me get my Rev Run on right now and just bring yall a message:
You only get one go-around on this rollercoaster called life - ride that muthafucka til the wheels fall off….
April 18, 2007
What the heezy? LOL
OK, it was Martina McBride night, so I expect some of the folks to not know what to do with it, but gotdamn if everybody aint take a nosedive. Well n ot EVERYbody but most people were not up to par.
Phil, where is your energy homeboy? The judges might have given you a good review but the Digview is shaky. Dont even play wit me. I normally like you, but dont think I wont have the Sandman give your ass the hooik if you dont bring it. Having a bald head aint quite enough to get you the black vote, so you better get funky, white boy!
Jordin Sparks…. mm, girl if you dont win this conversation, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle LOL. Shut up, LOL. She did her thang, as usual, although there were some parts I was a lil raised eyebrow on. Ima need Paula to not tell another nobody how gorgeous they look. Is this American Idol or America’s Next Top Model???
Sanjaya…. is it even worth the wasted words at this point? This dude is horrendous and if you cant freak a song like “Let’s Give Em Something To Talk About” which is the most basic ass song on earth, you need to be home singing in the shower. Im sayin. Something to talk about…can we talk about why your ass still here??? No? Okay.
Lakisha - Ki Ki - I wasnt impressed this week, dawg. We all know you can sing your ass off but you really just did nothing for me tonight. I never even noticed she had a lisp before tonight. But her shit was a lil pitchy. Me agreeing with the judges - go figure.
We already know when Randy starts out “Aight, so check it,” there is a problem LOL. Lets just say that was the theme for the night. But he almost got shanked starting out with that shit on ole white chocolate. Ok, this wasnt his best performance either but he still white chocolate LOL. That falsetto = that ole country twang, so it worked. But I will go along with the fact that he didnt really own the stage like he normally does. But thats about as far as I go. Good look on the shout out to the VA Tech victims though - sure to get you some compassion votes if nothing else.
Melinda, Melinda, Melinda…. will somebody please check the lost and found for this broad’s neck? Im sayin. This chick is all gums and boobs. *SMH* Her hair was cute this week but for the thousandth time - EARRINGS! PLEASE! She sung like nobody’s business though, that girl is the truth! “Trouble is a woman with a man on her mind” I hear that.
Blake - no words, man. You my lil Sting mini-me. But yo shit was a lil pitchy too. Dammit man.
Sanjaya better take his ass home this week, I know that shit.

After I tivoed Oprah - and finished watching it - I could barely breath at the end of the show. I could not understand in all the hoopla of the way Black rappers portray Black women - the "Why do Black women want to portray themselves this way?"
NOBODY brought this up…Superhead was on Oprah show some time ago claiming the devil made her give head and be ho-ish…
How did that get lost in the conversation? Seems like everyone is getting a pass except the actual artist…what happened?
Please explain to me why not ONE woman - especially the Spelman sisters - talked about when and why a Black decides it's okay to degrade themselves. We are point fingers at the men of hip hop like we are weaklings and we can't JUST SAY HELL TO DA NAW…
The shit is bewildering…
Then there is this thing about personal responsibility - oh my it sounds so good…from what I gathered people have a problem with the word ho and bitch - but not the actual act that women showcase via tip drilling and pussy popping - so let's just change the name Stanley Crouch, Gayle King, Oprah - let's just call them "Ladies of the Night" - yeah that sounds better…
Women and Men - black and any othe shade better wake up@
A ho by any other name is still a ho - but his/her actions are still the same…
Bullshit at the job. Bank of America is playing games with my money. Brother had a seizure.
…and it's only 2:35. Plenty of time for shit to get more fucked up. Pray for me…if there was ever a day where I thought I might go and drop a few bodies, it isn't FUCKIN with today. Anyway, on to the news.
Me my big cuzzo were rapping about that whole Imus shit. I told her that I thought it was bullshit that the media would try to shift the blame to hip-hop. She hit me back with a lil something, figured I pass it around. I co-sign this shit all the way. 'Cept the part about copping an Imus album if it had some hot beats:
More…
Man I said this shit was only gonna get deeper…
and now that Oprah has given white folk the ammo, racism is now OUR problem.
By 'our' I mean the HIPHOP generation's.
You get that?
Imus calls some random women 'out they name' (ebonics my white friends), and white folk are calling 'foul' because rappers apparently get to do it all the time.
(firstly, absurd, secondly, bullshit)
More…

This weekend me and the in-laws were playing a little movie trivia (in which my team kicked some major ass even though my mom and dad were in NY @ the Color Purple on Broadway - yeah I am bitter as hell…
and we started talking about the movies EVERY Black family must have on the book shelf for the kids and for a refresher with the oldie but goodie adults…
I am a movie junkie so color has never had anything to do with what I call great movies - but I think that there are def some Black movies that families should keep and cherish
