She wasn’t as famous as her son, but Afeni Shakur, mother of Rap icon Tupac Shakur, did her part as a Black Panther activist and a philanthropist in her time. She died on Tuesday in California. She was 69 years old.

Video – Texas Shoppers Smashed Window of Hot Car to Free Kids Locked Inside

There is a sickening trend happening these days with so-called “parents” leaving their kids locked in cars on hot days. In a few of these cases, the little helpless kids are killed. So imagine the frantic scene in Texas when passerbys heard children crying in a locked car, on a hot 98 degrees day, and the so-called parent was no where in sight.

They did the only thing any good Samaritan would do – they took a hammer and smashed the glass to free the two small children trapped inside.

The so-called “parent” later ran out of a beauty salon. She claimed she wanted to get her hair washed and left her kids locked in the hot car.

The cops were not called. I cannot understand why.

Tracy Morgan’s Mom Turned Away at The Hospital

Tracy Morgan’s estranged mother says she was barred from seeing her son at the hospital.

Alicia Warden has spoken out about the way she was treated in an interview with TMZ, claiming Morgan’s fiancee Megan Wollover is working against her.

Although the comedian and his mother had been estranged for more than a decade, Warden told the news site that no one informed her of her son’s car accident or the fact that he had been transported to hospital.

Warden – whose relationship with Morgan has been described as strained – told TMZ that she heard about it on television but when she tried to see her son in the hospital, she was met with resistence by Megan and hospital security and had to leave.

But she came back the next day and was allowed into the room where Morgan lay unconscious for five minutes and in the company of a pastor and a few friends.

‘All I wanted was for our family to be alone with him,’ Warden told TMZ. ‘I wanted to pray over him and couldn’t do that because so many people were in the room.’

President Obama Wishes He Had Spent More Time With His Mom

Every time the question gets ask, I always expect the president to say that his biggest regret was being President of the United States. I mean, who could blame him?

Since Barack Obama became president, he has had to put up with the most vile, the most racists, and the most disrespect any other president has ever had to deal with in recent memory. But yet, the man finds a way to push on.

So yes, when that question is ask I always expect him to say the presidency was his biggest regret. But he never answers the way I expect him to.

While visiting with students at a town hall at the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, the question was once again asked, ‘what is your biggest regret?’

The leader of the free world, the man who arguably is the most powerful man in the world, said that not spending more time with his mom was his biggest regret.

“I realized that there was a stretch of time from when I was, let’s say 20 until I was 30 where I was so busy with my own life that I didn’t always reach out and communicate with her and ask her how she was doing and tell her about things,” Obama said. “You know, I was nice and I’d call and I’d write once in a while, but this goes to what I was saying earlier about what you remember in the end, I think, is the people you love.”

Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, passed away in 1995 from uterine cancerPresident Obama: ‘I regret not having spent more time with my mother’ living arrow 10×10, just weeks before her 53rd birthday. Four months earlier, Obama had published Dreams from My Father; a year later, he won his first election, the Illinois state Senate seat.

Mom On Trial for Murdering Her 4 Year Old Because She Thought He Was Gay

An Oregon mother of four is on trial in Portland for the murder of her four-year old boy. Prosecutors says that Jessica Dutro complained on Facebook to her boyfriend that her son, Zachary, was gay, and beat him on several occasions because of it.

In the Facebook message to her boyfriend Brian Canady, which was read in court today, Jessica Dutro said that her son Zachary was “facing the wall” because he had made her mad, OregonLive reports:

Her son was going to be gay, she wrote, using a slur. “He walks and talks like it. Ugh.”

Canady would have to “work on” Zachary, she wrote.

On August 12, 2012, Canady allegedly violently kicked four-year old Zachary in the stomach. He reportedly refused to take the child to the hospital. When the boy finally was taken to the emergency room — two days later — it was too late. He was taken off life support August 16, 2012. The cause of death was blunt force trauma “to his abdomen that caused tears in his bowel,” OregonLive reported.

Zachary “was covered in bumps and bruises,” OregonLove notes in a separate report, “but he died from two holes in his intestines caused by blunt-force trauma. Urine and feces seeped from the holes and harmed his vital organs.”

Baytown Mother Fights Off Carjacking, Runs Over Suspect


Ismael Martinez

A Baytown mother fought back against a carjacking this afternoon to protect her two young children in the car.

It started in the parking lot of a Baytown CVS around 1:15 p.m. when police say the suspect, Ismael Martinez, attacked the woman inside her minivan. Her two children, ages 2 and 5, were also inside the vehicle.

According to Baytown police, Martinez pulled a knife on the mother and threatened the life of one of the children, demanding $200.

Police said the woman fought with Martinez, punching him in the mouth.

Change Does Happen!

You have to admit that even if you don’t believe all the hype about the coming year 2012–Armageddon, the apocalypse, global warming shifting earth’s  axis, a giant asteroid crashing into the planet, a massive spiritual awakening that transforms humankind, or my personal prediction, absolute proof of life from intelligent planets  visiting Earth–even if you don’t believe them, you have to admit that the last four years  leading up to the infamous date have been–to say the least– miraculous!

It all started, of course, with the monumentally pivotal election of the first African-American to the highest office in the country, in the world for that matter, the President of The United States. Before my Mother passed away that same year in 2008,  she, my sisters and brother and I watched the polls bringing in the news at her home. My Mom was transfixed by what was taking place and remarked with her eyes glistening, “I can’t believe this is happening in my lifetime! I got the chance to see the first Black man elected to be the President of the United States!”

My Mom was dying from cancer and was in a lot of pain that day but she sat up with her children to watch the electoral returns into the wee hours of the morning while we listened to Harlem revelers in the streets below blowing party horns, honking car horns and shouting out  windows,  “O-BA-MA!,  O-BA-MA!, O-BA-MA!”.  I cried at the thought that she was given the oppurtunity to be a witness to this and I cried for myself and the rest of the world on that phenomenal night.  And the one thing that I attributed greatly to the magic of that night was all wrapped up in a word… CHANGE.

On its own ‘change’ could be overlooked because of its subtle, constant running in the background of all our lives. But the idea of  ‘change’, imprinted on the minds of millions and millions of people day in and day out can and does produce a corporeal reality;  the frustration felt while pumping overpriced gas into our cars, the fear over whether our jobs are secure, the anger while shopping  in the supermarket when discovering that the price of milk has doubled in the past two months, the stress  felt over ballooning mortgage payments on our dream homes, the worry over whether there’ll be enough money for our kid’s college tuition, thinking every night while we watch the news, what will it take for there to be real peace in the world. All this has us asking  “Is there anyone out there who can change the way things are?”

“You see, the challenges we face will not be solved with one meeting in one night. It will not be resolved on even a Super Duper Tuesday.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. We are the hope of those boys who have so little, who’ve been told that they cannot have what they dream, that they cannot be what they imagine. Yes, they can.”

– President Barack Obama.

Is there anyone out there? Yes–you are. WE ARE THE CHANGE THAT WE SEEK!
