George Zimmerman has lost another round in his upcoming 2nd degree murder case. ABC News reports that the judge presiding over the case will not permit Zimmerman’s lawyers to mention pictures of drugs or guns found on Trayvon Martin’s cell phone during opening statements.

“We have a lot of evidence that marijuana use had something to do with the event,” Zimmerman’s lawyer Mark O’Mara said during a hearing today in Sanford, Fla. “It could have affected his behavior.”

But Circuit Judge Debra Nelson agreed with the prosecution that the photos on Trayvon’s cell phone are irrelevant — at least in the opening statements.

The former self-appointed neighborhood watchman is accused of stalking and murdering 17-year-old Trayvon as the high school student made his way to the home of his father’s friend inside a gated community in February 2012.

Trayvon, who was from Miami, was visiting his father in Sanford after being suspended from school.

Zimmerman, 29, has pleaded not guilty. The trial is set for June 10.

Will and Jada raise their children differently…

In a recent interview Will Smith says African-American parents believe they “own” their children as a result of slavery…

“I think that, specifically in African-American households, the idea of coming out of slavery, there’s a concept of your children being property and that was a major part that Jada and I released with our kids.

“We respect our children the way we would respect any other person. Things like cleaning up their room, you would never tell a full-grown adult to clean their room, so we don’t tell our kids to clean their rooms. Actually, we tell our kids ‘you don’t have a room, that’s our room and we are letting you borrow it.’

So the same way you would say to an adult if you let them use car, you say, ‘Yo man, clean my car! Don’t drive around all filthy like that!’ And it’s perfectly reasonable for you to want an adult to clean your car, so we feel it’s perfectly reasonable to ask our kids to clean the rooms that we are letting them use.”

Will and Jada are ridiculous and when I read the story to my mom she said and I quote… “They’re full of shit!” It’s bad parenting bottom line.

When The Engagement Ring ain’t nothing but a thing…Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

Aw it’s so nice when two people fall in love and really want to spend the rest of their lives together. They may have a long-term courtship before the man decides to spring for a ring and sometimes under different circumstances. Some women are willing to cross the Atlantic ocean and lay down their lives just to get that ring!

The ring for some women serve the purpose as a status quo, they’d like to feel as though their ten, twelve, thirteen and/or twenty-five plus year courtship is going to another level. When in fact it’s really going nowhere, except to your weekly rendezvous at your local motel 6, hanging out at his place or your yearly get-aways to a remote location.

Sometimes the buck stops with the engagement ring and the relationship goes no further. Why is that? What happened to the man’s intent behind the giving of the ring? Did he just give you the ring to “get that thing“? And are you satisfied with wearing this “front?”

Tune into “Conversations Of A Sistah“ tonight at 8:00 PM as I discuss how SOME engagement rings ain’t nothing but a thing! Access the show via “Conversations Live“.

A hot mess!, Pat Robertson, Televangelist, Wrong advice

Evangelist Pat Robertson tells wife with cheating husband to be grateful she has him!

Pat Robertson

This man is definitely not standing on the principles of God and I pray to God that this woman didn’t heed his advice as her final resolve. Proof ladies and gentlemen that you lean on God for direction not man!!!

Televangelist Pat Robertson told the wife of a cheating husband during Wednesday’s episode of his daily television program, ‘The 700 Club “To stop talking about the cheating. He cheated on you, well, he’s a man.”

The infamous evangelist was responding to a letter he had received from a woman who had admitted to struggling  with forgiveness.

The evangelist advised the woman saying the following:

  • To stop focusing on her  husband cheating because that is the ‘tendency of man’
  • He also suggested it wasn’t the man’s fault  as modern society is filled with temptations
  • The wife was told ‘to make a home so wonderful that he doesn’t want to wander’
  • ‘Thank God that you have a marriage that is  together and that you live in America and good things are  happening,’ said Robertson

The bottom line, he told her to get over her man’s infidelity and start doing more to ensure he doesn’t have reason to wander. You can never tell a married man or woman how to handle the infidelity of a spouse but you sure as hell don’t tell them to accept it as it is the highest form of disrespect. Disrespect for the marriage and the spouse, which is never acceptable.

Robertson is the same evangelist who said “God told him Mitt Romney would win the Presidential election” And we all see how that turned out.

Sex… And The Single Mom, Tonite on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

Single mothers all have different circumstances; some women have children and were never married, some women may have had children and became widowed un-expectantly, while others have had children and then divorced. Regardless of said circumstances the need and desires for a woman remain the same, sex is the bottom line.

For some women, they know what they want in a relationship and having children don’t stop that desire of wanting to hop on another man if the current one isn’t satisfactory. But what about the influences these mothers have on their children? Do multiple relationships set the stage for future problems and the possibility of a generational curse? Is it healthy to expose your child or children to different men?

For those women/single moms who find it impossible to keep those legs closed while you raise your kids, tune in tonight at 8:00 P.M. on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live“ as I discuss “Sex and the Single Mom“.
