Definitely Not Why God Made Girls - A Response To RaeLynn's Single

Posted in: , ,

A new single from 2012 Voice contestant RaeLynn aims to provide the answer to why God Made Girls, but the lyrics prove to be the opposite of what she calls "girl empowerment". RaeLynn told Taste of Country: "There's just something so special about 'God Made Girls,' it comes from a girl's perspective and there's nothing like that on radio right now."

She sings; "He needed something soft and loud and sweet and proud/But tough enough to break a heart/Something beautiful and breakable that lights up in the dark/So God made girls."

I know some people may think she makes a good point, but come on, surely a woman's purpose in life has to b more than to pretty and hold a man's hand. What of those God made to be not so pretty, or to serve him and be single all their life?

See the video and more of the reasons RaeLynn thinks God Made Girls below, and tell me what you think....

Nigerian Celebs Do The ALSIceBucketChallenge - So Genevieve Nnaji Is Such A Diva?

Posted in: , ,

Nigerian celebrities have joined the ‪#‎ALSIceBucketChallenge‬. It's a fun trend, but because it was so American, I was thinking someone would modify it? Like pour hot water instead of ice, just joking o...

Seriously though, couldn't one of them create a challenge for Ebola awareness, Cancer, or any cause of their choice. But so far, it's copy copy all the way.

The first I watched was of Genevieve Nnaji, uploaded by another blogger, whom as it turned out had done the ice water pouring. And it struck me that Gene threw a tantrum when the water was thrown, not because of the cold, but because she was not ready! SMH... I didn't know she was such a diva.

She later laughed over it sha when she posted the clip. See it below...

When The Ice Bucket Challenge Goes Wrong - #IceBucketChallenge

Posted in: , , ,

First, we saw Bill Gates develop a pulley system to do the challenge after he was tagged by Mark Zuckerberg who did it the old fashioned way. Then there was Oprah and other African American celebrities. On a sad note, we read of the man who died of a heart attack after doing the challenge.

But this is the funniest post about the #ALS #IceBucketChallenge, believe me.

From people falling down because their buckets are too heavy, to the buckets falling down and bashing them over the head, there's that and more cases of the Ice Bucket Challenge going wrong.

Enjoy and get some laughs :)

Posted in: , ,

CNN's Don Lemon hosting a townhall meeting on the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson is reminding many of comments he made after the Trayvon Martin's murder case. At that time, in talking about race, a lot of conservatives were asking why the media wasn't talking about other problems in the black community, especially the high rates of crime.

After the ruling on the case, Don Lemon felt it was time to address those issues and how to fix other ills that seem to be plaguing the community in general. He felt it was time for some tough love after Bill O'Reilly, FOX News host called out "black on black crime", saying;

The reason there is so much violence and chaos in the black precincts is the disintegration of the African- American family. Raised without much structure, young black men often reject education and gravitate towards the street culture, drugs, hustling, gangs. Nobody forces them to do that, again, it is a personal decision. 

Don Lemon responded by saying, "He's got a point. In fact, he's got more than a point. In my estimation, he doesn't go far enough. Black people, if you really want to fix the problem, here's just five things that you should think about doing.
