The state of New Jersey is in the process of being the first Northern state to express regret for slavery, but there are some local politicians that believe doing so is unimportant.

Republican Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll states that blacks should be happy that slavery happened, otherwise we would still be in Africa:

“But, on a current note, if slavery was the price that a modern American’s ancestors had to pay in order to make one an American, one should get down on one’s knees every single day and thank the Lord that such price was paid. To the extent that America — or New Jersey — ever owed any kind of debt to anyone, that debt was more than repaid through the blood and suffering of 650,000 federal soldiers who died or were wounded during the war provoked by slavery. No one today need feel the slightest guilt, as no one today participated in the wrong.”

SMH.

Tracey Edmonds and Eddie Murphy will have another wedding when they come back to America, but this time it will be legal. After the non-legit ceremony earlier this week in Bora Bora, the suspect couple are really going to go through with it.

Good for them. There’s nothing better than a marriage of convenience. She’s stepping up her career game and he’s covering up his tranny loving ways.

Newsweek Magazine on Obama’s win in Iowa Thursday night:

With his victory tonight, Barack Obama is now the strong favorite to be the Democratic nominee for president. The only one who can stop Obama from making history is Obama.

The Clinton establishment and their supporters are buying off Black churches in South Carolina for support like they did Magic Johnson. We have to make it rain on these hoes in S.C. in two weeks.

Hillary gets a big ‘hoe sit down’ from Bossip!!!!

Mary J. Blige’s album “Growing Pains” has moved to the No. 1 spot on the Pop charts. Her album is the 36th and last No. 1 album to reach No. 1 in 2007.

What a way to end the year. We commend Mary for continuing to make it rain on these measly little hoes for over a decade.

Britney Spears was rushed to the hospital early this morning after reportedly being on rocks and refusing to hand over her kids to K-Fraud.

K-Fraud is going to end up keeping the kids for good and getting more of her stacks. This sh*t is like a Jerry Springer show. SMH.

Christopher Martin, b.k.a. Play of Kid-N-Play and the House Party franchise, was seriously injured in a car crash this Saturday. His car was hit by a mortally wounded driver who was fleeing the police. The fugitive was shot by officers following a home invasion with two other suspects.

It’s a shame that we only hear about people when there is a tragedy. It’s good to know that he can walk away from this alive.

What an idiot. Roy Jones Jr., an avid cockfighter, reveals that he practices dogfighting as well:

“I was (letting them fight) to a degree, but not like that serious. I just let my dogs get down five, 10 minutes, 15 minutes. Maybe like the longest I let them go was a half-hour, but I never let them fight to the death ’cause I can’t take that.

John Goodwin, deputy of the Humane Society of the United States states that putting your dogs in the pit even for 10 or 15 minutes is still a felony in Florida. Anyone this stupid deserves whatever’s coming to him. Where was Roy when America was crying over Michael Vick?

We are seriously considering starting a “When the Checks Stop Coming In” foundation just for Gary Coleman. He is now selling autographed Gap Athletic pants on ebay with a current bid of $19.95.

First a Nintendo Game Cube, then a Saturn, and now Khakis from the Gap???? Damn, times must be super tough for little Arnold. Poor thang.

Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds marriage might not be legit after their ceremony in Bora Bora Tuesday. The law there states that each person in the couple needs to be a resident of the region for at least thirty days to make the marriage valid.

Oh well, so much for that. If they were smart they would just get a courthouse hook up when they get back to the states. If they don’t all of you who thought this couple was suspect from the jump may be correct.

A representative for Robert Kelly makes a statement on Ne-Yo’s suit against the pied-pedo of R&B:

“The idea that R. Kelly had anything to do with Ne-Yo being dropped from the Double Up tour is just plain silly. As we said at the time, Ne-Yo was dropped because of a contractual dispute with the tour promoter, and in fact Ne-Yo is not suing Kelly but only the promoter. Ne-Yo may think blaming the situation on R. Kelly will improve his chances of collecting from the promoter, but if he does, he is sadly mistaken. Anyone remotely familiar with R. Kelly knows he is confident enough in his own abilities to be happy to share the stage with enormously talented people – the more talented, the better.”

Who really gives a rat’s ass.  We’re just anxious to see what will become of R. Kelly after his pedophile trial.

DMX is releasing two albums at once with one being a gospel album:

“I [was] the first n—a to put out two albums in one year [It's Dark and Hell Is Hot and Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood in 1998], now I’m gonna hit ‘em again — drop two albums on the same f—in’ day, yo. A double album will make mutha—-as mad, because they gotta spend more money — plus it’s already a long [double] album. I’m talking about a hip-hop album and a gospel album.”

The gospel album’s lyrics will be without cursing — how ’bout that one? No songs about b—-es, no songs about robbing, just straight ‘Give God the glory.’ “

Sounds interesting. We just hope he can lay off the rocks long enough for Jesus to take the wheel.
