Isn’t June earing the yellow hat in that pic?
RIP Ruth

thats so sad, she was still very young R.I.P.

You could be right “how”, I just changed the pic so I wouldn’t cause confusion.

My prayers go out to her family and friends. Rest in peace.

That is soo sad!! She was young and the youngest member of the sisters!!

i know makes me want to cry.:(

RIP JUNE. You know we have gotta start taking better care of our bodies and getting early health screens. My moms 54. Too close for comfort.(Taking a break off the computer)

rest in peace june, we will miss you

I have reason to believe, that the majority of visitors to this website are african american. With that being said, I would like to personally take it upon me to help guide us all on the path to becoming better, stronger, and more informed people. I read the different posts, and its clear that we are as a race not exactly how we need to be. IE the preoccupations with skintone, grade of hair, looks, etc. I am posting a link to a website i went to one day, i am suggesting and hoping that many of the African Americans who visit this site, go to this link and read the article.. Which i feel is important for the growth of our race. You make think im crazy, but give it a shot…

We owe it to ourselves to read this!

Okay…you are a spammer with that link
you keep linking it but not writing
about the topic at hand.

June r.i.p.

obviously theres no hope for sum of us…

My condolences to her family and friends.

Give it a rest dmac!!

If I am not mistaken, June is the sister that had the substance abuse problems. I also believe that there was a rape allegation that involved her, her boyfriend and some female. I mentioned all of this because if she is the troubled Pointer sister that I am thinking of, I hope that she has finally found some peace.

Yes, she was the one with those problems and I hope she has found peace in the afterlife as well! RIP June

I loved the pointer sisters when I was much younger. They were the ladies that gave me the inspiration to start dancing with my girlfriends and wanting to be a singer. I can remember dancing in my backyard to “He’s So Shy” with my girlfriends and making up dance moves to all their songs.. WOW the memories.

Rest In Peace my sister. Not only will you be missed but you will also be remembered as one of our great entertainers/singers.

who in the hell is this old BITCH.LOL FUCK EVERYBODY THAT READ THIS.

Ro - You refuse to show respect for the dead?? You are a pitiful excuse for a human.

LMFAO @ Ro. Im just a young dumb teen. I dont know who that chick was either. But I do know that she was on that coke heavvvvvy. Bet thats what killed her. The same way its going to kill Whitney.

@Dee Love… (#16) You’re RIGHT she’s the one

IT wasn’t coke it was cancer that killed her. I loved me some Pointer Sisters from waaayyy back in the 70’s when they were the R&B divas…before the watered down pop stuff like “Jump” and “Neutron Dance”, not that those were bad songs but their older music was way better, funky as a pair of 10 day old socks. RIP June.

This is to Ro & Bob…you two are insensitive bastards. To tarnish the name of the dead is not only disgusting…it’s shameful. I’m sure you are not the model citizens of america so shut your mouth!

Anyway, RIP June

Well what are YOU going to do about it Chickadee? Censor me? Be mad? Shake your head? All that is a waste of time.

Anyway, her extensive use of coke did kill her. She had all sorts of cancers fucking that body up. And how she got all them cancers? Because the coke did it to her. Yes, coke is a carcinogen people. I dont make this shit up.

Bob B. Pins - And so what if cocaine contributed to June Pointer’s death. The fact still remains that the woman is no longer among the living and does not deserve the crude comments that you and Ro are dishing out. Since I’m not your mammy, I’m not going to try to re-raise you, but I will throw my opinion in to say that you both are twisted.

OK!!! WOW!!! I never did one ounce of coke or any drug for that matter. I’ve lived a pretty active life with moderate exercise and try to watch what I eat. Never smoked a day in my life, don’t drink any alcohol..not socially, not ever for any reason but yet I’m a cancer survivor. So the theory of coke and cancer is not valid.

I will admit that coke use probably hindered her body’s ability to fight off cancer though. But using coke will probably not cause cancer. If so, there would be a lot of dead mofo’s.

I dont see what was so “crude” about my comments. Maybe you’re just too sensitive. Ever thought about that?

And Julia cocaine is NOT the only carcinogen out there. And there IS a link between the two. It was proven 8 years ago. But its one helluva coincidence that she was diagnosed with breast, colon, liver and bone cancer. Again, I dont make this shit up.

Bob B. Pins - On second look, your comments weren’t necessarily crude. They did come across as insensitive (and no, I’m not having sensitivity issues). But that damn Ro, just plain crude and rude.

chickadee fuck u bitch,u and that old bitch can suck a dick and burn in hell u bitch.she was a dope fiend a guess u a dope fiend too.BITCH

dee love u a poor excuse for a bitch,u raggedy ass hoe.u cant get mad at me because im young and never heard of this women.u busted ass slut.DOPE FIEND ASS.

Bob: No I am not going to be mad because you are just ignorant.

Ro: You sloppy bitch. I usually dont let dumb people irritate me but you are 100% ignorant. (bob you’re about 99.9%) Instead of calling people bitches you should curse out the person who raised you. It’s evident that they fucked up!

Yes ignorance. Ignorance and hatred, that’s what it really sums up to nowadays. “You’re ignorant.” or “you’re a hater” is the usual excuses used when one is defeated.

I’ve been checking out this blog for around 3 weeks now
(When it WAS up and available)
The People who are making the Real Disgusting and Vulgar comments
It’s probably more of a reflection of their parent’s parenting skills (or lack thereof) because alot of the reactions are just nonsense and toal foolishness
Take comfort that these people will never amount to anything significant in life
Hate and Anger is so “short-lived”

Like I said…ignorance. You dont know any better

Exactly. I dont know any more better then you do.

Don’t Bother - You are totally correct. I am trying to refrain from lowering my standards to “woller” in the slop with Ro. This is America and we are all guaranteed freedom of speech. It just makes no sense when ignorant, useless germs contaminate good things such as this site. I really enjoy logging on to Concrete Loop when I have a chance. It is posters like Ro, that make the rest of us civilized adults suffer. Saying crude and degrading remarks about a dead woman is not kosher. If someone wants to comment on her life history (the good, bad, and ugly), then that is their perogative. It is simply inexcusable to call this dead woman all types of bitches and hoes.

By the way Ro, I happen to be very secure with loveliness and not to mention very mature as well, so go for broke with the name-calling. From here on out, you will NOT be justified with a response.

^^I meant ‘my loveliness’.

“More better”???? HMMM Someone needs English 101…

chicckadee,dee love u 2 fat lonely old ass bitches,u sluts can suck a dick and blow up u tramps.old motherfucker i dont give a fuck about u or that old dope fiend lady.u two must smoke crack with her,tryin to defend her.u two fat bitches can go choke on a box of donuts and die BITCH.BITCH.TRAMP.SLUT.HOE.STANKY PUSSY HOOKER.BBBIIITTCCHHH.

The Pointer Sisters were a really talented group. They are an example of what is missing from today’s music scene: real singing. I am sorry for the family’s loss.

English 101? Gosh Im just soooo too ignorant to even think about that.

God bless her!

Angel La, I wish you would censor Ro’s nonsense. He is really giving your site a bad image. No one could possibly want to keep reading that filthy nonsense.

P.S. - Regardless of Ro, I am still hooked on The Loop!

My condolences to the family. Sadly, it took a tragedy to remind me of the wonderful music they made.

RIP June

dee love censor a dick in your mouth and die bitch.june pointer was a drug addict that why she was kick out the group,she smoke crack up until she die. like i said she was a dope fiend u fat ass BITCH.

“RO”

You a complete idiot. Not only are you ignorant, you are a complete waste of skin. You rude comments are uncalled for and I hope your parents catch you on the internet. You must be in the 3rd grade with that BS you are posting.

EAT A D#ck, and pick up the phone and call somebody who cares cause I sure don’t. You’re a bonified compelete waste of time! Don’t even post anything in response to what I just said- I will not repsond.

Now let that marinate.

RIP to a talented, but troubled. woman

Wow. This is one of very few places where folks can come to discuss the life and works of June Pointer (R.I.P.) as well as the rest of the Pointer Sisters group. Unfortunately it has been marred by ignorance and negativity. I’ll check back in later. Hopefully those that have been offensive to the deceased and others will have either been deleted or have enough about themselves to turn around and clean up their actions. Thanks for providing this forum despite the unwelcomed foolishness. To the positive people, continue to be positive and ignore the ignorant. Peace.

brownsuga fuck u or should i call u fat ugly blacksuga u tramp ass bitch, suck a dick and burn in hell with june(dope fiend)pointer u bitch.i hope u die to night hoe. naw bitch im 20 and a football player at LSU now talk on that u fat slut.STANKY PUSSY ASS BBBIIITTCCHHH.

haha Trust me Ro, If you weren’t such a faggot you would want to holla at me. And your father would too- if you knew who he was. I take no offense what so ever at the nonsense you posted about me— like T.I says “You don’t know me”

I did however take offense to the nasty comments that you made in reference to this human being. No matter what she may have did or been in her life time- I hope that her soul rest in peace.

So excuse me “Ro-ach” for even responding to your ignorant ass..my only wish for you today is that you expand your vocabulary, meet your daddy and get the hooked on phonics tape your mama promised your slow ass for Christmas, cause your stupid ass is stuggling to express yourself.. Face reality- you are not in college, you are in the basement of your grandma house sharing a bed with your uncle who sticks his dick in your ear every night so you can hear where he’s coming from. You are not a football player just cuz you can “hike” that ass up to let dudes dig in it. Lastly- stay off of the Loop- it’s lames like you that turn intellgent people off from commenting on topics.

fuck u blacksuga u fat bitch,and u wrong i would not touch yo fat old ass.like i said suck a dick and die u lonely fat old ass slut.and yes i do attend LSU just because your african ass kids GED dum im not like them dum ass baster.all u motherfucker can die a slow aids death….die tonight you bitch……….. LSU TIGER # 7 BITCH

This is indeed a loss. I used to LOVE the Pointer Sisters back in the day.

I was a fan in the 70s… those songs,” Betcha Gotta Chick on the Side” and “Henry Don’t Eat No Meat” - yeah, I’m going waaaaaaaaaaaay waaaaaaaaaaaay back. I was glad to see them blow up during the 80s

RIP, June.

Is there a moderator on this site?

Those 2 embarrasments to the race (dumbass posters above)should be booted/deleted.

A moderator is desperatly needed around here..People like them reinforce the negative opinions that other races have about us.

Damn Shame!

Judy- shut the hell up

Brownsuga, I just happened to be passing through and ran up on your response. Wham-bam-thank you-maam!! Ro is supposed to be in college and can’t even correctly spell ‘dumb’. That says it all. Ro, go stand by the chimney and see if that Hooked On Phonics package is about to drop!

hahaha! I know :-)Good thing Lou Rawls (RIP) cant see this.. all the telethons this man had to assist deserving students into college! He would die knowing that he possibly assisted “Ro” into to college and this idiot can’t even spell.

Some of these bastards that post on here have no respect for our dead. This is why Black folks never learn from others mistakes. If you don’t know the Sista, then google and find out.

Respect your dead.
Rest in Peace, June

Wow. I know it’s been a year- but I was very close to June, and her death affected me a lot. Actually, her LIFE affected me a lot, her Death was a tremendous loss.
As for all the posts on this blog - i guess that’s why she died in a way.
She wanted so much for people to be happy.
She wanted to help change the World….and she did-

Drugs were a way to escape the pain of every day reality- like the Posts on this blog.
She wanted so much for the World-and the world constantly disappointed her.

peace
