attachIs Justifiable Homicide the Modern Day “Casual Killing Of Slaves”?

When you think about Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant, Sean Bell, Philandro Decastro, Terrance Crutcher, Alton Sterling, Keith Lamont, Sandra Bland, Yvette Smith and so many other black men and women who were unjustifiably murdered under the guise of “justifiable homicide” by police, the numbers are alarming.

Unfortunately, not a year goes by without a news report of some young man or woman dying at the hands of police (or someone who acts as if they are the police). Usually, these cases are polarized by the factor of race.

Join me tonight at 6:30 p.m. EST on “Conversations Of A Sistah” with my special guest, community activist and New Era leader “Keith Horton” (pictured left above), as we explore the “Casual Killing Act of blacks” then and now.

Bishop Eddie Long

God Has Healed Bishop Eddie Long (It’s a Miracle)

The ReadyWriter

bishop-eddie-long-550x307Bishop Eddie Long is back from the brink of death. Rumor had it that Long was suffering from an aggressive form of cancer of the small intestine.

Speculation ran rampant after Long, 63, published a Facebook video attempting to explain his sudden weight loss. Rumor mongers even said he flew to the jungles of Colombia to seek a miracle cure. Well now he’s back, and he’s looking better and healthier than ever.

In a new YouTube video, Long shared his blessings with his congregation at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church.

“I had some health issues and God has healed me,” he said, as his congregation cheered wildly.

As his wife, Vanessa Griffin, stood by his side, Long called for pain sufferers to “jump in the aisle”.

“I declare pain can not bombard the temple of the Holy Ghost,” he said.

The father-of-4 called for pain sufferers to meet him at the altar.

Many in the audience stepped forward as the Lord used Eddie Long as a healing vessel.

New Movie Release, Tyler Perry

Have you seen, Tyler Perry’s “BOO” A Madea Halloween?

The ReadyWriter

maxresdefaultUnlike his previous movies that began as stage plays, “BOO” a Madea Halloween didn’t originate as a hit stage play. The idea started as a joke in Chris Rock’s hilarious “Top Five,” where the latest Tyler Perry production has Madea fighting off ghosts. Despite the mockery, Perry liked the concept and shot this movie in 6 days.

The movie opened Thursday night and it’s message is clearly for parents and disrespectful teens.

The plot thickens with Madea (Tyler Perry) trying to keep her great niece Tiffany (Diamond White) from attending a Halloween party at the lamest fraternity I have ever seen. When things go horribly awry for the frat, they plot a Halloween-themed vengeance on Madea and her cohorts Aunt Bam (Cassie Davis), Hattie (Patrice Lovely) and Joe (Tyler Perry).

Madea’s nephew Brian (Tyler Perry, again) summons her to his house to keep an eye on his daughter while he’s out of town. He fears she will disobey his orders and attend the frat party. Brian is a doormat whom Tiffany disrespects in ways that would never fly in a Madea-run household. Tiffany’s behavior becomes the basis for the typical whiplash-inducing dramatic change in tone for which Perry’s films are notorious. Before we get there, however, we have to deal with the party, the pranks and the constant bickering between Madea and her crew.

At 103 minutes, this film has way too much dead weight. Scenes are repeated over and over, and some of the acting would not cut it in a school play. But in the rare moments when “Tyler Perry’s Boo! A Madea Halloween” is firing on all cylinders, it displays a cleverness which hints that, with more time and a few more iterations of the script, this might have been a good movie.

I laughed until I cried however, Mr. Tyler Perry could’ve done a little better.

Scottie Pippen is divorcing his trophy wife of 19 years, Larsa Pippen. Pippen filed the papers in a Fort Lauderdale, Florida courthouse earlier this week.

The 51-year-old Chicago Bulls legend has 7 children — 4 with his soon to be ex-wife Larsa and three from previous relationships.

Larsa, a 42-year-old Chicago native who met Pippen at the height of his career is ready to move on to greener pastures. As rumor has it, that she cheated on Pippen with rapper “Future” (pictured with him below). Larsa being best friends with Kim Ho-Dashian and apart of her girlfriend squad, it’s no secret she pointed her best friend in the direction of new money and marketable stability.

Us Weekly — Larsa’s rep issued a statement to Us Weekly. “After careful consideration and 19 years together, Larsa and Scottie have each filed for dissolution of their marriage,” the statement said. “Although they are no longer to be married, Larsa remains hopeful that she and Scottie will always do what is best for their four beautiful children and jointly raise them with love and respect. … She would like to thank everyone for their understanding and kindly ask for privacy from the media during this difficult time of transition for her family.”

Tonight’s debate could be the deciding factor in the hotly contested battle for the White House. Trump, 70, will enter tonight’s debate fresh off a win over his opponent Clinton, 69, in debate #2 but this debate is final, with only twenty days left until the election.

“The first two debates were just warm-ups for what might be the most raucous and wild debate in American history,” said Jake Thompson, an associate professor and debate coach at UNLV.

Shots will be fired and the hate will be real, as both candidates vie for the White House.
