			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.yourblackbloggers.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/rings.for-better-or-worse.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4778" title="rings.for better or worse" src="http://www.yourblackbloggers.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/rings.for-better-or-worse.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="173" /></a>The ugly stain of divorce smeared itself all over Hollywood at the end of 2011, taking out some of the most popular marriages in the Black Community. We all had bets on Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey calling it quits within a year but they have proved the masses incorrect. Kobe Bryant and his ethnically exotic wife Vanessa just recently changed the game by reconciling. Will and Jada almost pulled a fast one but kept it together by hitting the media circuit and red carpets to dispel all rumors.</p>
<p>Our brown sister and brother, Jennifer Lopez and Mark Anthony were not as fortunate and actually drank the water in Hollywood.  Taking a good hard look at these marriages made me realize that these women did one thing&#8230;they got married. They made a conscious decision to get married. It may have been a fairytale in the beginning and it may not have worked out for them but after all is said and done, they jumped the broom.</p>
<p>Women, specifically black women, are known for choice and flavor. Some women will drive all the way across town for hair services because a particular salon may be &#8220;the bomb&#8221; and that is what they prefer. That is a choice. Some women will not date men with children because of possible baby mama drama or not wanting to deal with someone else&#8217;s kids. That is a choice. Some women have a checklist for their ultimate mate (although they may never find someone that lives up to all the expectations) and just refuse to change, not lower, their standards. That is a choice.</p>
<p>Getting married is a choice. Staying married is an even bigger choice.To make a conscious decision about what you want in life, whether it is to be with someone with a good retirement plan, or someone without a criminal record, or even someone who is an American citizen, you have made the choice to do so. Sometimes what you want is not what you need. The best thing for you could be right in front of your face but it may not be what you want. Denying yourself the opportunity to be married is something of a phenomenon. Either way, the choice is yours.</p>

<p>By Jenny Triplett &#8211; Prisonworld Magazine</p>
<p>Ameena Fort-Matthews is a violence interrupter for CeaseFire, a not-for profit program in Chicago that views violence as a disease that spreads throughout the community and needs to be â€œinterruptedâ€ to stop the cycle.No stranger to the streets, Fort-Matthews grew up in Chicago, and is the daughter of infamous Chicago mob boss Jeff Fort. She said by the time she was a teenager, she was hustling with a gang of guys.</p>
<p>â€œThereâ€™s guys and girls, and I was one of them, that felt like in order to protect your neighborhood itâ€™s just like, hell, weâ€™re in Afghanistan and our streets is a war zone and that we got to protect it,â€ she said. â€œThatâ€™s what these young guys and girls are feelingâ€¦that they are protecting whatever it is at they are protecting.â€</p>
<p>CeaseFire has been operating in Chicago for 15 years. With the assistance of former gang members and street hustlers like Fort-Matthews, the group aims to stop the spread of gun violence using mediation techniques. Their work was highlighted in the documentary <em>The Interrupters</em>, which aired in Omaha last summer. It showed them stepping in to some dangerous situations â€“ talking down gang members and working with them to prevent retaliations.</p>
<p>â€œWhat Iâ€™m trying to get them to understand is that you donâ€™t have to kill anybody to resolve a conflict and to get them to change their mindset on how they think about violence,â€ she said.</p>

<p>Singing and dancing is the claim to fame for some of the biggest superstars. The key word here is superstar. No matter how you slice it, Chris Brown is a superstar, from a small town in VA, who made his way on the scene as a singing and dancing Michael Jackson clone. Teenage girls and boys had found a new heart throb with beats and melodies that made him more than the flavor of the month. The next big thing had arrived and Generation Y was more than obliged to reward him with record sales. Contrary to popular belief, selling records is his job and the way he makes a living.</p>
<p>This past weekend, Chris Brown unveiled a new track most likely from his upcoming album, <em>Fortune</em>, although it has yet to be confirmed if the song will make it to the final cut.</p>
<p>The track, entitled <em>F**k The City Up</em>, is a slow mover with a synth-y background mixed with classic R&amp;B style &#8211; think techno <em>Boyz II Men</em> with more swearing. Check out the video:</p>

<p><strong>Floyd Mayweather</strong> plans to have one last hurrah before the doors are closed on his jail cell. The State of Nevada Licensing Commission has been lenient in granting him permission to fight, but he unbeaten champion still get not get his greatest wish: a showdown with <strong>Manny Pacquiao</strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;I presented Pacquiao with the fight,&#8221; Mayweather said after meeting with the Nevada Commission. &#8220;Pacquiao is blowing a lot of smoke. &#8230; He doesn&#8217;t really want to fight. I gave him a chance to step up to the plate. We&#8217;re talking about a $10 million fighter that I tried to give $40 million to. We didn&#8217;t even talk about the back end.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s ducking and dodging me,&#8221; Mayweather continued. &#8220;He really didn&#8217;t want to fight from the beginning. He got famous basically by piggybacking off my name. When you mention Floyd Mayweather, man, you mention an all-time great, an icon in the sport of boxing. When you mention Manny Pacquiao, they say, `Oh, that&#8217;s the guy who&#8217;s trying to fight Floyd Mayweather.&#8217; When it&#8217;s all said and done, all the guy did is just piggyback off my name.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mayweather will fight <strong>Miguel Cotto</strong> on May 5 at Las Vegas&#8217; MGM Grand Garden after Nevada&#8217;s athletic commissioners granted him a conditional license for one fight before he goes to jail in June.</p>
<p>The May 5 fight date was set before Mayweather pleaded guilty Dec. 21 before a Las Vegas judge to a reduced battery domestic violence charge and no contest to two harassment charges. The plea stemmed from a hair-pulling, punching and arm-twisting argument in October 2010 with Josie Harris, the mother of three of Mayweather&#8217;s children. Prosecutors dropped felony and misdemeanor charges that could have gotten Mayweather 34 years in prison.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.yourblackbloggers.net.php5-3.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/AdrianDortch1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-722" title="AdrianDortch" src="http://www.yourblackbloggers.net.php5-3.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/AdrianDortch1.jpg" alt="" width="298" height="232" /></a></p>
<p>One of our guilty pleasures in life is watching certain reality shows. The Biggest Loser has found itself on our TV for the past 11 seasons. One theme that holds true with the show is that there are not a lot of Black people who have been contestants nor has the show ever had a Black contestant make it all the way to hold the title of The Biggest Loser. This season does have the prestigious celebrity trainer Dolvette Quince</p>
<p>This week&#8217;s episode was a little much to watch without yelling at the screen. My husband and I almost felt like we were at the Magic Johnson&#8217;s Theaters. Adrian Dortch and his sister Daphne were eliminated on the first episode of the show after losing a challenge to get on the ranch. They had one month to lose 50 pounds to earn a spot back on the ranch. This week, they came back and lost a combined total of 60 pounds. They were split into either the Red Team or the Black Team. Daphne seemed to have no problem getting in on the vibe of her new team. On the other hand, Adrian was immediately disliked by the Red Team.</p>
<p>The level of maturity that is being shown for those who want to get healthy is somewhat disturbing. Adrian&#8217;s main focus on coming back to the ranch is to lose the more than 100 pounds that has been plaguing his lifestyle and his health. Seemingly there is dissension amongst his new teammates due to the fact that they resent his presence. Anyone watching the show should have seen that they were intimidated by his presence and his outspokenness and just did not want to say it was because he is Black. He in no uncertain terms keeps it real. So real to the point where he was told to &#8220;listen more and talk less.&#8221; Adrian&#8217;s response to that was &#8211; &#8220;I&#8217;m a grown damn man.&#8221; Next weeks previews showed that the episode will be off the chain as Adrian takes things to a whole new level. If you missed this episode you can catch it at nbc.com</p>

This year, the editors decided to use a couple, <strong>Rufus and Jenny Triplett</strong>, who, with 22 years of experiences with trials and tribulations, can actually teach their methods to others.</p>
<p>Claire McIntosh, a contributing editor at Ebony, found the Tripletts to be the embodiment of what Editor-in-Chief <strong>Amy DuBois Barnett</strong> and she promoted through workshops, expert commentaries, interactive features and reader responses in the year-long Ebony Partner Project.</p>
<p>In addition to Februaryâ€™s feature, <em>Ebony</em> will give the Tripletts a chance to create their own fragrance, McIntosh said, as a token of appreciation.</p>
<p>â€œIt wasnâ€™t a contest,â€ she said. â€œAll of our readers, whether in a relationship or single, had the opportunity to participate throughout the project. They shared comments, stories and what theyâ€™ve learned.â€</p>
<p>And in the process of sharing what she calls â€œblack love lessons,â€ she came across the Tripletts, who are in â€œa really sweet spot right now,â€ she said. â€œWe wanted to share that.â€</p>
<p>Februaryâ€™s issue closes the project, but the magazine saw enough interest to continue the emphasis on relationships, McIntosh added.</p>
<p>â€œThe response was amazingly positive,â€ she said. â€œItâ€™s benefited me in my own marriage; I grew as well. Thereâ€™s such a sea of negativity out there, it was very encouraging to find people like the Tripletts where hope continues.â€</p>

<h3>How would this scene go if the actors were Black? Who would play the parts?The Brady Bunch will go down in the history of Classic Television and is being watched every day by a new generation. In many ways they are unlike The Evans Family from Good Times, The Jeffersons, and even the stereotype breaking Cosby&#8217;s. The Brady&#8217;s were a co-family or step family merging together to live in peace and harmony. The number one comedy on television today is Modern Family. The show depicts the merging of families from all walks of life, but none are Black. What if the Brady Bunch were Black? Would peace and harmony live under one roof with three boys who acquire a stepmother and step sisters and three girls that acquire a stepfather and step brothers? Who would play the iconic crew? The bigger question is, why hasn&#8217;t it been done already?</h3>

From Chris Bosh, to Jermaine Jackson to Flavor Flav to Bobby Brown. The greater the number of baby mommas involved, the greater the amount of baby mama drama.</p>
<p>Five fathers in the State of Georgia are tired of being jailed for not being able to pay their child support. They put their words into action and the courts have found in their favor.</p>
<p>State attorneys are appealing a judgeâ€™s order that favored five fathers who are targeting Georgiaâ€™s practice of jailing parents who donâ€™t pay child support.</p>
<p>The Georgia Attorney Generalâ€™s office on Monday filed a motion that said thereâ€™s an â€œepidemicâ€ of parents who fail to pay their child support. It said the men were jailed because of the â€œconsequences of their own poor decision-making.â€</p>
<p>The men recently won a court battle when a judge allowed thousands of other parents who were imprisoned for failing to pay the child support to join their lawsuit. They may even get state appointed attorneys to represent them.</p>

A hundred years ago, Negroes were trying to earn the respect of being 100% people and not 3/4 as the laws stated as to keep the Blacks on an inferior level. The mere fact that a Black person could conceivably be smart enough to compete in a White man&#8217;s world has been proven time and time again.</p>
<p>In present day America, President Obama has earned the respect of leaders and dignitaries around the world. Some might even say that he is the most respected president in the history of our country. However, to some, that is not good enough. It is not good enough, because he is Black.</p>
<p>The Tuskegee Airmen were more than just an experiment of the Black man&#8217;s intelligence. It was an opportunity for the best and the brightest to showcase their gift. The aptitude, depth perception and courage needed to be a fighter pilot is unmatched by any other job. These are skills you cannot obtain. These are skills, or gifts rather, that you are blessed with naturally.</p>
<p>Many people never get to show off their God-given talents. The Tuskegee Airmen got to do more than that. They got to shine and they got respect.</p>

<p>Women are stereotyped as nags but only to men who feel that they do not need micromanaging. Men,on the other hand, having the same mannerisms would be considered controlling. Numerous marriages are dissolved for irreconcilable differences. Maybe those are the code words for nagging or controlling.</p>
<p>Michelle Obama has recently been in the news and been stereotyped as an angry Black woman due to her being very blunt and verbose with The White House Staff. As a man running the highest office in the land, Barack Obama can rest assured that he has a leader and strong woman as his partner. Being outspoken has not been a deal breaker in their 19 years of marriage.</p>
<p>Jennifer Lopez and Mark Anthony has never publicly stated what was the actual dealbreaker that downgraded their seven year marriage to a business partnership. Kim Kardashian and Chris Humphries couldn&#8217;t have had long enough time to nag each other not to leave up the toilet seat or not to press the toothpaste from the middle.</p>
<p>Naggingâ€”the interaction in which one person repeatedly makes a request, the other person repeatedly ignores it and both become increasingly annoyedâ€”is an issue every couple will grapple with at some point. While the word itself can provoke chuckles and eye-rolling, the dynamic can potentially be as dangerous to a marriage as adultery or bad finances. Experts say it is exactly the type of toxic communication that can eventually sink a relationship.</p>
