Saluting One of Our Own.

Do you remember Theo? Come on now, I know yall remember Theo? I know he only posted one or two times, but don’t act like yall don’t know the Brutha.

21 Questions posting, Theo?

Using hella color in his posts, Theo?

Using Cosby Kids to get to Oprah, Theo?

Missing Cosby Kids conference calls and meetings, Theo?

Starting DRAMA, Theo?

To good for Cosby Kids, Theo?

Yeah - THAT Theo.

I digress.

Theo, also known as William Marcel Hayes was featured on CNN.com in a short clip with Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan. Let’s run down Theo's credentials...

- 2007 Morehouse Graduate

- 2008 Harvard Graduate School of Education Graduate

- Teacher at one of Boston's inner city schools

- Teacher, Mentor, Friend and Dirty Dancer.

These are simply his credentials or the stuff on the resume, but can I speak from someone who knows Theo personally? Theo has dedicated his life to urban education reform. As a teacher and mentor, he is passionate about ensuring the future of our children. It’s not too often you find a black male who dedicates himself to a "humble profession". Taking students under his wings (and roof), Theo truly exhibits the quote "We must be the change we wish to see" to the fullest.

On behalf of the Cosby Kids (Cosby Kids are you there?!?, crickets..) - Denise, Bud, Rudy, Vanessa and Cockroach (Major crickets) we salute you FRIEND.

To God be the Glory for all that he is doing in your life.

(Speaks in tongues)

Amen.

Boosie Actin TOO Bad

So bad that the well-spoken Baton Rouge has gotten his prison sentence double to 4 years. Apparently his house arrest ankle bracelet alerted authorities that he was up to no good.

Boosie was arrested for possession of marijuana (§40:961) and possession of a firearm (LA. REV. STAT. 40§1783). PAUSE...Ya'll see Bud? He is gotten so good in law school that he can actually cite a law! I know I am let. Just ride with me on it...

Anywho apparently the cops were able to smell weed from Boosie's car. Good Boose, your music will forever remain in our hearts. And today's youth will continue to rock the Boosie fade in your honor.

ps- Are your sure Flava Flav is not your father?

Sammy Sosa: What's Really Good?

Look Bruh, you say you are not trying to bleach your skin like MJ (RIP). You say it is a "skin softener" cream that has inadvertently lightened your complexion. You say it was to get rid of the bad skin. Yet....

1. your are ten shades lighter
2. you wear green contacts
3. you permed your hair.

Sammy, is there something you need to tell us? Because you, MJ, and Lil Kim all the same right about now. PS- If you can, please go back to the days when you were sportin the Jheri with the dark skin. Like the Thriller Mike. Do we really want to be Denise's color?




Ya'll remember when Denise wrote about that family of skin bleachers in Jamaica? What is really going on out there in the islands...

Has anyone heard the saying,"

Word Of The Day ----

Yoked (v): action of pulling someone roughly after challenging your authority; can occur at several locations.

Used in a Sentence: While at the store over the weekend, I overheard little 'Jimmy' telling his mom to, “Go to hell” because she wouldn’t buy a toy he wanted.

Naw, not in my book. If it was me, I would’ve yoked him by the throat for talking to me all crazy.

Dirty Money...Legit?

Is this another Bad Boy flop? I hope not, for Dawn's sake. She's always talking about how broke she is...

I will consider the variables. I personally don't think that Diddy is a noteworthy rapper. He had a couple of tracks back in the day that had me going. But present-tense, not so much. However, we all know that Dawn can sing. Sidenote, I now wonder if she was really screwing Danity Kane over the whole time. Nonetheless, Kaleena can sing as well; and she has done some writing. I've heard some of their stuff on YouTube and it sounds good.

But some of the tracks have Diddy in autotone, and we all know that Jay Z has us hating that right about now.

NOW what I do like is the fact that these 2 sistas are beautiful in the non-shallow., non-coventional way. 2 chocolate sistas. 2 sistas with short hair. Much respect on that one.

Lil Monkey Doll- WTF?

Since Bud has been gone, apparently people have felt as though they could get away with stuff without the Cosby Kids reporting it. Not true. We will find an uncovered story from back in 1994, and still expose you!This absurd tale dates back to August 2009.

Costco Wholesale Company decided to come with up a cute idea for an African American baby doll. She was adorable, dressed in pink, cuddly, and lovely. Fine. But what pissed off 99% of Black folks is the fact that Costco decided to name the doll "Lil Monkey"

Lil Monkey?...are you f**** serious?

Not only that, the Lil Monkey doll also came with an actual pet monkey, which was to be her sidekick. Look at the picture and get just as pissed off as Bud did.

Here is a response from a Costco Rep:

Dear XXX,

Thank you for your e-mail to Costco Wholesale.

We appreciate your comments regarding the Cuddle Baby Doll. After stocking the item, which was available either with a Caucasian or an African American doll, we learned from our members that some of them found the item offensive. There was certainly never any intention of offending anyone. On the contrary, we were happy that members were given the option of buying a doll showing different nationalities, which too often is not available. However, once we learned that it was offensive to some members, we decided to discontinue the item. We apologize to anyone who may have taken offense by our carrying the item.

Thank you,

Brenda

Costco Wholesale Corporation

Thank you Dr. Boyce Watkins, for exposing the ignorance. I keep telling ya'll, that racism is here and flourishing. To say that you did not mean to call equate a Black child to a little monkey is utterly absurd; considering the historical contexts of the two entities. Bud is pissed. As usual.

You Knooooooow you're the Business if...

...…not only have the Yankees been blasting your joint, “Empire State of Mind” during their playoff run, but they’ve asked you and fellow artist, Alicia Keys to perform the song live to kick off Game 1 of the World Series.

All hail to Jay-Z.

I will finally humble myself to say, “He is indeed the greatest rapper alive!”

(And yes....trust me...that took alot of humility because I've nevvvvver been a Jay fan...ever).
