Deion Sanders gets to keep the kids in his ongoing saga with his estranged wife Pilar Sanders. The Sanders have been making headlines with their disputes as they prepare to divorce. After 11 years and three kids, it’s over between the former football player and his wife. The latest incident that involved the two revolves around a fight at their home. A judge ruled that Deion gets to keep the kids temporarily, and Pilar has to stay 500 yards away from their home. Pilar was arrested for attacking her husband, and the judge ruled that Deion was justified in defending himself.
A group of Missouri Republicans introduced a legislation last week called the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
The bill, if you didn’t already know, would prevent schools from teaching any type of gay history.
The purpose … to prevent teachers from teaching it because those against it believes it’s a choice and not a sexual preference you are born with.
NewsOne columnist Michael Arceneaux wrote his thoughts on the issue in a column. Below is an excerpt:
I was introduced to AIDS, and subsequently, gay people at the age of 6, following the death of a relative. The words gay or homosexual weren’t the terms used to describe same-sex lovers, though. The word faggotwas, which from its very utterance of the word in all its hate-filled tone, instilled a great fear in me that would last well into early adulthood.
It would be years before someone bothered to declare that gay people, which I knew secretly included myself, were just folks with a sexual orientation outside of the norm. Such is a lesson I wish was instilled in me much sooner in my life, which is why I find it rather pathetic that Republican lawmakers in Missouri are going out of their way to prevent such not-so-outlandish facts from being shared with school children – particularly at a time when little by little gay Americans are inching toward wider acceptance.

A teenager described as an outcast at his suburban Cleveland high school opened fire in the cafeteria Monday, killing one student and wounding four others before he was chased from the building by a teacher and captured a short distance away, authorities said.
A student who saw the attack up close said it appeared that the gunman targeted a group of students sitting at a cafeteria table and that the one who was killed was trying to duck under the table.
Panicked students ran screaming through the halls after gunfire broke out at the start of the school day at 1,100-student Chardon High in this town of 5,100 people 30 miles from Cleveland. Teachers locked down their classrooms as they had been trained to do during drills, and students took cover as they waited for the all-clear.
One teacher was said to have dragged a wounded student into his classroom for protection. Another chased the gunman out of the building, police said.
The suspect, whose name was not released because he is a juvenile, was arrested near his car a half-mile away, the FBI said. He was not immediately charged.
FBI officials would not comment on a motive for the attack. And Police Chief Tim McKenna said authorities “have a lot of homework to do yet” in their investigation. But 15-year-old Danny Komertz, who witnessed the shooting, said the gunman was known as an outcast who had apparently been bullied.
“I looked up and this kid was pointing a gun about 10 feet away from me to a group of four kids sitting at a table,” Komertz said. He said the gunman fired two shots quickly, and students scrambled for safety. One of them was “trying to get underneath the table, trying to hide, protecting his face.”
Other students disagreed that the student was a victim of bullying or an outcast, saying he was just quiet.
“Even though he was quiet, he still had friends,” said Tyler Lillash, 16. “He was not bullied.”
Long before official word came of the attack, parents learned of the bloodshed from students via text message and cellphone and thronged the streets around the school, anxiously awaiting word on their children.
Two of the wounded were listed in critical condition, and another was in serious condition.
The slain student, Daniel Parmertor, was an aspiring computer repairman who was shot while waiting for the bus for his daily 15-minute ride to a vocational center. His teacher at the Auburn Career School had no idea why Parmertor, “a very good young man, very quiet,” had been targeted, said Auburn superintendent Maggie Lynch.
“We are shocked by this senseless tragedy,” his family said in a statement. “Danny was a bright young boy who had a bright future ahead of him.”
Officers investigating the shooting blocked off a road in a heavily wooded area several miles from the school. Federal agents patrolled the muddy driveway leading to several spacious homes and ponds, while other officers walked a snowy hillside. A police dog was brought in. It wasn’t clear what they were looking for.
Pastor Reginald Osborne
Why he is a local hero: Osborne is working to bring people of different faiths together to solve many of today’s problems.
The way Pastor Osborne sees it, people of different faiths waste too much time arguing about things that aren’t important while issues, such as drug addiction and youth gang violence, go unaddressed.
“There are so many faiths divided in the community. Everyone thinks they are going to heaven and that the other person is wrong. It breaks my heart because for years I have been in the street teaching the gospel of unity. I’m a Christian. I believe Jesus Christ is the son of God, but everyone doesn’t think like me. The question is what can we do to help the children,” says Osborne.
Osborne has tackled this issue by entering into a variety of interfaith efforts, including the Newark Interfaith Coalition for Hope and Peace. The group supports other grassroots organizations seeking to stem the tide of violence in and around Newark. The most dramatic of Osborne’s efforts, though, may be that Muslims, Christians, and Jehovah Witnesses alike attend Bethel Family and Youth Resource Center, his Newark, N.J., church.
It started a few years ago when Osborne ran an intensive life skills program that helped people dealing with addiction issues. Afterward, many of his attendees, who are of various faiths, began showing up at his church, because they felt a sense of togetherness at Osborne’s church.
During the services, Christians say, “Hallelujah,” and the Muslims say, “Alluh Akbar.” Muslims teach Christians Arabic, and there is an overall greater understanding and respect of one another’s faith. And that’s what is needed to challenge many of the social problems plaguing America today, says Osborne.
“Let us pastors and imams go out into the street at 2 a.m., where people are shooting one another. Let’s create employment. Let’s work together. I long for pastors and imams to unite and say, ‘We don’t have same theology, but let’s do what we have to do,’” says Osborne.
The move hasn’t come without criticism. Some think what Osborne’s doing is heretical, but Osborne sees proof of the opposite in the lives of the changed men and women of different faiths who step in to his church every week. It appears that many critics are actually fearful of what can be accomplished when people of different faiths come together around common goals.
“The only way to do this is to try and bring people together, where a Jewish can go to a masjid, a Muslim can go to a church, and a Christian can go to a synagogue,” said Osborne.

After all what him and Whitney have been through, you would have thought at her funeral, he could have shown more respect. The invitation stated Bobbie Brown plus 2 period. He enters the funeral with an entourage of 9 folks. Ok no sitting available for his group, hince can your read, invitatiion stated clearly you plus 2. And you wonder why the family is being so protected of their daughter Bobbie Kris.
Needless to say, the family has had a toxic relationship with Bobbie, because of Whitney. Let’s not forget both of them are grown, and know right from wrong. Understood since Bobbie and Whitney’s divorce he now has another child with unknown woman. Damn does that make 6 kids, and how many baby Mama’s? Bobbie this is your opportunity while out on tour, to reflect, digest, make amends for your past behavior, and move forward now. Stop the b.s. you have been spitting out lately, and be the person you can be when your not wearing your “EGO” loud and clear.
Now is the time for you to try and be a Father to Bobbie Kris if the family allows you. You have enough children to start thinking reality time, be a father, and support all. Whitney is not here to pick up your child support payments (feel me). Evidently God has given you yet another chance to correct past mistakes, I suggest you stop and think, and grow the hell up, and man up!

Is it cheaper to keep her? This is the question being asked by L.A. Lakers Star Kobe Bryant, who was seen kissing his soon to be ex-wife Vanessa. Vanessa filed for divorce in December, and it was agreed that she would get the three mansions, share custody of their two daughters and get half his fortune to the tune of $75 million. Their divorce was supposed to become final in June, but now they are on the brink of reconciling. Did somebody play Kobe that classic Johnnie Taylor song and get him to thinking?

As I reminisce on the spankings my mother gave me as a child, I wonder if there could have been a better way. I remember the terror in my skull that emerged upon hearing the belt jingling as she walked down the steps, and I remember feeling that there was no purpose to the pain I felt whenever I did something wrong.
But then I think about my life.
I consider the fact that the sons of most of my mother’s friends didn’t do very much with their lives. Many of them are in prison, unemployed, or even dead. Starting as a 17-year-old single Mother in a housing project, my mother has raised a doctor, an Ivy league graduate and a university professor — not bad for a woman who allegedly “abused” her kids by spanking them.
I also think about the little kid that we all know in the supermarket. The boy who tells his mother what to do, throws boxes of cereal across the aisle when he doesn’t get what he wants, calls his mother names in public because she pissed him off. I think about his mother, feeling as helpless as a prison inmate, forced to live under the ruthless dictatorship of an angry 3 year old. I think about how this child wouldn’t have lived past the age of four if he were born and raised in my mother’s house.
Unfortunately, we’ve becoming a country that has forgotten that sometimes learning to respect authority is not a comfortable process. Parents need a credible threat to support their ability to effectively run their households. Spanking should not be the only way to maintain control, but it should certainly be a part of a good parental arsenal.
As it stands, our nation has an obesity problem, we are falling behind in education, and we are financially gluttonous. We’ve raised our kids to enjoy the spoils of excess and instant gratification. It only makes sense that in this kind of world, any kind of serious discipline is frowned upon, and parents feel the need to become best friends with their kids.
I’m not here to pretend to be an expert on parenting, but an examination of our parental outcomes might lead us to naturally conclude that strong, disciplined parenting is clearly a necessity. Whether spanking is a part of the plan or not is up to the individual. If your teenager is telling you what they will and won’t do or your 3-year-old is pulling rank on a regular basis, though, you might want to reconsider your options.
SIDEBAR:
I agree with the article but do question the point about abuse. Spanking is not abuse. Throwing a child out a two-story window because you are “fed-up” – is abuse, or hitting a child with a drink bottle because you are “fed-up” – is abuse. If parents wait for the “guv-ment” to raise their kids…I’ve only one question to ask them: Which “guv-ment” program do you know is or has been – successful?
to live.
SIDEBAR: Evidently the gold mine is gone, get over it. Your “promise land” is not working anymore gurlfriend, get a friggin job. Don’t you have 5 kids, and 2 kids by Usher, come on now, wake the hell up. Neverland has been up for sale quite some time (ouch!).
