we all just need 2 support each other…period

What the HELL!!!

Whay can’t black people just get alone PLEASE

damm what do these people want brandy to do??? spend the rest of her life crying about what happened? they just trying to get her money anyway.

omg, i was first! sorry-stayin on topic though…im tired of these fueds w/in the black community…like how about both of them put that energy & money into something more newsworthy & positive

y is they mad cuz brandy doin wat she wan to do……she jus not bout to sit around an b depressed im happy to see her out dey jus hatin i mean it feel lik dat crash was years ago i mean t think the girl said she sorry wat more can she do but show up fo all of her court dates she jus not bout to sit at home an do nothin i mean she has a life 2 u kno

2 me dat do not look lik david banner n dat pic

I luv ving but damn it took him a long time 2 give his condolences to the family. I hope u at least called them.

Brandy out partying “so soon after the crash”???! I swear the first pics of her partying were two weeks ago and the crash, was what, like 4 months ago. What is she meant to do…stay inside for 10 years!?!

I dunno seems a lil too much for me…I guess some one wants to up the ante on that lawsuit…..

DAVID BANNER IS 110% CORRECT!!! I was getting into it with this lady about the youth of today too. She was just repeating everything Sharpton and Jackson says and I blew her face off. She didn’t know what to say. It’s not about bashing us and saying our “inevitable doom” is near. Formulate a freakin plan if you have so much free time…stop complaining and do something…but you can’t because you don’t know what we go through as young people and that’s why no change has been brought about…You can’t tell a dog about being a cat! You can’t expect the black society we live in today to be anything mildly close to 40 and 50 years ago. We have taken our freedom and ran with it!!! The change will have to come from us not a bunch of old political hot heads…I’m sorry….

IN REGARDS TO THE BRANDY SITUATION I CAN SEE WHY THE WIDOWER WOULD FEEL THIS WAY-BUT UNFORTUNATELY LIFE GOES ON-

BRANDY WAS MIA FOR A MINUTE AFTER THIS ACCIDENT HAPPENED-I DON’T KNOW FOR A FACT BUT I BELIEVE THAT SHE IS REMORSEFUL FOR WHAT HAPPENED-BUT HE CAN’T EXPECT HER NOT TO CONTINUE LIVING HER LIFE

HE SHOULD SEEK THERAPY-MY CONDOLENCES GOES OUT TO HIM AND EVERYONE INVOLVED BUT HIS EXPECTATIONS ARE A BIT UNREALISTIC

WHAT DOES HE SUGGEST BE DONE-BRANDY SHOULD BE MADE TO REMAIN IN HIDING FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE? IT STILL WOULDN’T BRING HIS WIFE BACK-

AND IT WAS A VERY UNFORTUNATE AND DEADLY ACCIDENT-ACCIDENT IS THE KEY WORD NOT INTENTIONAL

so what does the widower want brandy to do lock herself in a box in her house…..life has to go on.

WOW!!!! So much goin on in black entertainment and its nothing positive

THAT’S WHAT’S UP DAVID BANNER…I SAY BANNER IN ‘08, *UCK CLINTON & OBAMA!!!!

I feel what David Banner is saying. Our so called black leaders can only be found when it’s convient for them. Or they only wanna give something when it’s a good tax write off. Although it’s time for us to stop complaining about what these so called leaders are not doing and start becoming real leaders ourselves.

Ving, get rid of those mutts!!

First of all why cant we all juss get along? There are so many other things that we could be worrying about rite now .

Second I think Brandy has the right to party. She went to court, she handling her business let her have some fun!

David Banner is on point .

What do the victims expect brandy to do, sit and cry all day ? Im sure she feel bad about the incident but she have to continue her life.

Oh and to the family that is trippin about Brandy, be easy & let the dead bury the dead.

Why would one man say to another man “Suck my D_ck”.
That’s a perculiar thing for one man to say to another man…

There are many way to express dissatifaction or annoyance with a person.

Why would a person choose THOSE particular words to express anger…..

That’s probably why Rev Sharpton’s Office released the statement that they released, because it’s understandable to question a person’s sexual orientation if that particular statement had been released to the press.

I’ve never read anything so ridiculous in all my life.
Mr. Banner has no respect for anything or anybody.
I mean, at least he could respect his elders….

Men just don’t go around telling other men to suck their d_cks….

and
Regardless, of how you may feel about Rev. Sharpton,
He is a ordained minster.

People have no respect for Gor or his ministers anymore…

Peace

If you watch The State Of Black America whenever the hell it comes on…they spend all their time bashing each other on stage instead of formulating a plan. Whenever “Adults” (45 and over) come up to me all “high and mighty” thinking I’m some run of the mill negro I shut them down! They may think we’re materialistic, misogynistic ragamuffins but we have brains too (well some of us). Until we band together and leave behind the “Generation X” label can we truly overcome….and keep Kim Kardashian away from black men!!! LOL….

….Does anyone else but me think Kim Kardashian and Nicole Scherzinger are the same person….I think Kim takes off her butt to become Nicole and puts it on when she’s bangin black dudes….I don’t know….lol….I’m mad I went from serious to comical like that…lol

David Banner is bold, though Sharpton can get on my nerves there is some truth to what he is saying. Not a good look to attack him in front of the world though. Speak with the man one on one. They see too much of us attacking each other as it is.

On Brandy that man will get paid. She didn’t even come out of the house for six months. If she wasn’t a celebrity you wouldn’t even know her whereabouts.. I completely understand he must be hurting but Brandy wasn’t drunk or high, it was an accident, she has the right to move on. She still gotta pay him anyway.

I feel Ving situation was an accident as well, an unfortunate one and the timing is horrible with the Mike Vick situation but an accident nonetheless.

I’m not going to lie I would be mad also if the foot was on the other shoe.

I think we need to stop waiting on Leaders and BE leaders ourselves Oprah , Jesse and Al can’t save the world.

@ BILL

…yeah that’s the only thing I didn’t like….

The crush was last December and its recently we have seen her partying..of course shes not going to stay saddened bc its takes family and friends long to grieve about a pass one so I dont understand why be mad @ her…it is sad for some1 to die it always is but i dont believe Brandy not living life will do anything to benefit

Al Sharpton needs to stop messin with David Banner and head down to Jena, Louisiana. There are much more important things to discuss. Calling each other names is not solving the problems that are attacking our community. Truthfully, I’m disgusted with both David Banner and Rev. Sharpton.

Bradny was driving wrecklessly , but no she wasn’t drunk.

#4..It isnt her money..I am sure she was well insured….and if not oh well…Let her run over yo mama and then we can talk…I doubt your opinion would be the same….

Good that Dave came back on the intellectual tip. He makes a lot of sense.

If he mourning so much how come he know Brandy is out partying. The only way I see Brandy is on random blogs in a couple pics. Why he searchin blogs, if you in so much pain. GOD bless him and his family, but we know it’s about money.

i know the lady family still mourns… but it will be a year soon,… brandy is doingthe right thing by enjoying her life,,,, these ppl only want the money… and that means their doing it for all the wrong reasons!!

who is David banner again?? when was his last single??

Do Dave actually no WHAT they are doing, he needs to worry about what HE is doing and stop waiting on others.

I can’t sit here and say that they aren’t doing anything , because I don’t know them and I honestly can’t jump the gun and say things like that. That’s just not me. *I know what I am doing.

I do agree on he says bc the 1st time I heard about Jena 6 is on concreteloop and 1nce 2day on BET…where are our “black leaders”??

I understand David Banner’s point, but I can also see the point of view of Sharpton and other leaders. I’m 24 and I’m an educator. I notice that much of the youth whether it be white, black, latino emmulate what they see and act how they think they should act according to the media. I did a career speech and a majority of my minoirity students wanted to be a fashion designer or music producer. Why? Because that’s who they see making all this money and having all of this power. I see my generation and younger not aspiring to building affluent communities but only caring about themselves and making the almighty dollar. Think of it like this…how often do you hear about amazing black architects, scientists, doctors, lawyers, teachers etc.

so idis kat is saying he wouldnt be mourning if brandy wasnt out partyin
i understand what he’s TRYINA say…and we all grieve during loss…but chill out man…your money is coming soon enuff…im sure it will brighten your spirtis

ummm… wow RKJVILL3000 freakin wow

LMFAO!!!!!

David Banner got straight played by Sharpton’s camp.

Sharpton’s Camp said:
“From time to time we do encounter people that have sexual fantasies about Reverend Al Sharpton, but they are always women and Crump’s proposition is a first,”

LOL!!! It’s amazing how he changed is tone from “profanity filled rant” to “a call for action” after he got punked. Basically, Banner’s showed his ignorance and got sat down (and by Rev. Sharpton no less). Banner needs to go that way ———–>
:)

What in the hell David Banner? You sorry ass rapper! Hip-Hop is not effecting the youth? Are you fucking crazy? I have so many friends that has been mislead by music and by people that being a dope-boy is where it’s at. That we’re only here in the world to make money, fuck bitches, and die! What are you David Banner doing to reach out to the community? When are you going to start sending encouraging messages not subliminal messages? GUNS, VIOLENCE, AND SEX IS YOUR MESSAGE! What would be the point of Oprah, Al Sharpton, etc going out talking to the youth and giving them words of encouragement? Right after they do that the people who they really listen to, and pay much more attention to is coming out with songs like”Nine Milliliter” and “Nigga With Money”. Your music is for people in their thirties, but yet it is target at the demographic ages of 13-24. Them are the people listening to your music! And what the hell why are our strong black leaders are sitting up here arguing with each other for? White people are watching, and they’re cracking up because they know our people. Black America it’s time for change, if not now, WHEN? Answer the question please. We’ve come to far to be acting so gat damn ignorant. To damn far! I bet out asses wouldn’t be satisfied if we we’re back in those cotton fields, then that’s when everybody would come together. Just imagine if blacks that paved the way for us to have this type of freedom, had it! How do you think they’ll take advantage of it?

Brandy. What the hell? Wasn’t this like a year ago? That mutha fucka betta get his single ass up, and move on with his life. Why the fuck should she be sad?

David Banner is what I like to call a “Corporate Thug” he is smart as hell but chooses to live “the life”….If he ever gave it up (which I strongly encourage) he could a job in publice relations and communications and mainly business…worst case scenario he could be a radio host……lol…

david banner aint right that shit. He aint that talented!

THAT WIDOWER NEEDS TO STFU

@ BILL

You’re right on so many points. My main beef is, if you’re going to make a PUBLIC statement about a public figure with regards to a POLITICAL issue, the least you could do is speak with some damn dignity and class.

Brandy come over here so I can wipe some of your grease off your forehead and out it on this skillet….Im cookin and omelet…..lol…..

#31 This goes on ALL the time I heard about this Jena SIx a LONG time ago. What are they supposed to do stop what they currently handling and go there?? NO ATROCITY IS WORSE THAN ANOTHER.

Jesse Jackson is protesting gun laws in Chicago , because 32 children got killed there in the past year.

You can’t expect them to do everything. I think that’s the problem with some Blacks they have to wait on someone to tell them what to do instead of taking initiative yourself.

*ponders the Kim K and Nicole Scherzinger theory… someone’s on to something.

MSMIAMI

He did…I’ve heard him speak on political issues before….he sounds intellegent as hell we he aint sayin “bitch” or “hoe” or “nigga”.

I totally agree with your comment # 9! David Banner should of went about it another way instead of telling him to suck his d***. Maybe he should have said go suck A d***. lol just playing. But for real the leaders need to quit worrying about petty rap lyrics and artists and start worrying about real issues! i.e. The Jen Six ( which needs more signatures!) They need to stop bashing and come up with a plan. Thats why they’re leaders. Quit pointing the blame at everyone and start doing something about it!

!!!!!!TELLIN SOMEBODY TO SUCK YOU IS AN OBVIOUS STATEMENT MADE OUT OF EMMOTION!!!! I GET MAD AT FOLKS AND SAY *UCK YOU BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN I WANT TO HAVE INTERCOURSE W/ THEM. NO!!!!
PLEASE LETS NOT TAKE OUT OF CONTEXT WHAT HE IS REALLY SAYIN. AS MUCH A “QUEEN” OPRAH IS, & I LOVE OPRAH, WHAT HAS SHE RECENTLY DONE FOR YOUNG BLACK AMERICANS? AND WE ALL KNOW AL SHARPTON, REV OR NOT, JUMPS ON WHATEVER CURRENT BLACK ISSUE THAT GETS HIM THE MOST PUBLICITY SAME W/ JESSE J.

I agree with # 9, & #14. I also agree with #36. Very good points! But the African American/Black race are all held liable. Raising our own doesn’t stop at our biological children, it extends to AA children in general.

are we forgetting that david banner was really the only black entertainer who put his all into helping out with hurricane katrina???
of course he is angry and dammit he had the right to say what he had to say, when you see our leaders out there talking about changing this and changing that and only coming to the limelight when something major happens then yes they should be called out…its getting to the point where it is really ridiculous….
when imus went nuts then all the “leaders” wanted to jump on the media band wagon, when michael was about to go to jail for that mess they came out the wood works to, now that the jena 6 are getting media attention they want to put their 5 cents in….they do this mess only for money and to keep their mugs on tv, they are not helping nothing they are just making matters worse…

I also agree with #45. You guys are making some very good points!

Well everyone here knows I think Al Sharpton is not a very good anything. And if any one can find proof that he went to seminary please send it to me. Oh and who ordained him a Minster. I think David Banner could have said it better but he is going in the right. It is sad but he said in a way that his peers could understand it.

sorry to be off subject but… I’ve always tried to pin point who kim resembled. However I always came up short of an answer. It was nicole all along!

People need to start worrying about what OTHERS are doing and wory about THEMSELVES. The Jena six IS NOT MORE WORSE OR LESS THAN 32 school children gettting killed and I actually think that it is less because THESE students are DEAD due to GUN violence. So Jesse Jackson should STOP helping them change gun laws and protesting to STOP the violence and go handle the JENA 6. Better yet, why some of ya’ll are criticizing what are YOU GUYS doing.

I am part of a church organization that reached troubled youth I have also signed petition for changing gun laws.

David Banner does have some valid points, but he is just contradicting himself throughout the entire article. Who is he leading and where is he taking them to? Why would he need anyone to tell him how to act and to know the lyrics he writes does mean something to inner city kids. Anyone in there 30’s should know where their life is headed and know if they are leading people in a positive direction .

I THINK AL IS JUST AS FAKE AS THAT DAMN MESS HE GOT ON HIS HEAD

YEAH I’M WITH DAVE ON THIS ONE. HE’S ONLY SAYING WHAT OTHERS HAVE WANTED TO SAY FOR A LONG TIME. HE JUST SORT OF SAID IT IN HIS OWN STAB WOUND, SKEEZ BUCKET, GHETTO FRIED CHICKEN, BITCH BOUNCE “DAT” AZZ KINDA WAY. THATS ALL

Bill Said:

EXACTLY !!

Why would one Grown Black Man tell another Grown Black Man to suck his D_ck”,
and then have that statement be released to the public.
All over the world, people are talking about how David Banner told REV.Al Sharpton to suck his D_ck”

The first question they had was : Who the hell is David Banner
The second question would be: Why are Blacks so disrespectful to one another

Listen to me:
White people feel that we are ignorant, have no class, and no respect.
We are not impressing the world by telling others to “suck our d_ck”

Closing Point: Remember a few months ago when Imus called the Woman’s Basketball team a bunch of Napy Headed Hoes…….

Where do you think Imus got the nerve to say that from

Imus was simply emulating the disrespect shown by one Black Person to another..

I would never in my wildest dreams tell a Older person to “Suck my D_ck”
that’s the craziest think I’ve ever read in all my life…..

Man, I don’t understand young people.

#38 Because the media don’t display EVERYTHING they do , Do you know Oprah , Jesse or Al, personally ? So how do you know what they do???

# 48 I CO-SIGN

I would also NEVER be disrespectful to ANY elder regardless if I disagreed with him.

Brandy should be able to do what she wants as long as she is able to attend her court proceedings. Why is the other woman even looking for any monetary compensation? How does he even if Brandy is partying or not. I guest the lawyer feel that if they combine the 2 lawsuits that he wo9uld get an even bigger compensation for himself by representing to normal people in a trial against a celebrity. If the situation involved a celebunte, do you think they would maek the big of a deal about it?.

David Banner’s letter was very interesting. He has some very excellent points.

Ving Rhams should have been issued an apology and he should have a covered the funeral expenses and He need to have those dogs put to sleep or put a muzzle on them.

#52….cant speak for others but I’m pretty much doing the same you are doing….I speak to troubled youth, mostly teen girls who are pregnant..i try my best to make my voice heard in every situation necessary…
but at the same time it is only so much that we can do, people like jesse, al oprah, beyonce, david, jay, obama, diddy, whoever…who have more of the resources to reach more people and affect others by their actions and interests can do more….

I agree with David Banner to a certain extent…when there are tragedies where are the leaders of the Black community? However, the initial way Banner addressed the topic…telling Sharpton to “suck his….” well you know was tasteless and took the focus away from his initial message/concern.

Banner most definitely could have gotten his point across in a much more constructive manner, I’m sure he would have recieved positive response if he had done so.

Futhermore, why are people relying on Sharpton, Oprah or J.Jackson to save the day? Who designated them the voice for all Black people…if you don’t like something in your community take the situation into your own hands. Thats the problem now too many people are sitting back waiting on these so-called “leaders” to solve the problems within our communities. ***~***NEWSFLASH***~*** These people don’t even reside in our communities themselves, why should they give a fyck? And Sharpton jumps on topics that will get him press because, this is a paying gig for him…meaning if it isn’t a guarantee he will be featured on some TV news show or on the radio airwaves 9 times outta 10 he doesn’t give a damn.

Instead of pointing the finger…do something damnit. You can attend the meetings your Senators and State Representives have when they are voting on local laws to be passed…they are PUBLIC sessions. Actually, sit in one…and see what plans they have in store for your community. Start petitions for more support for our communities…go to the County or City Council board when you notice illegal shyt going on in your neighbood…keep reporting shyt even if it gets redundant and keep a record of it for legal purposes to get petitions signed or if you have to go to court to fight for your community. When kids get killed b.cuz of local thugs in your neighborhood don’t shake your head and cry for the innocent when you plan to do absolutely nothing but complain.

Al Sharpton is pretty much useless. I was completely through with him after that whole “roboho” situation. However, I don’t have much more respect for David Banner when he’s out saying ignorant shit like suck my dick.

DAVID BANNER IS ONE IGNORANT BACKWARD AZZ COUNTRY FUKK. THIS MUTHA FUKKA IS 30 SOMETHIN YEARS OLD AND HE’S TALKING ABOUT THESE LEADERS COMING TO THEM LIKE THEY ARE LITTLE CHILDREN SAYING WE GOT TO TALK ABOUT THIS. OUR BLACK LEADERS HAVE DONE THAT AND YOU BACKWARD AZZ IGNORANT FUKKS KEEP ON RAPPING ABOUT THE SAME OLD SHIIT THAT’S KILLING THE MINDS OF THE BLACK YOUTH. I WISH ALL OF YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS DRY UP AND PEOPLE STOP BUYING YOUR BULLSHIIT. YOU ARE TALKING A BUNCH OF NOTHING!! HOW DARE YOU TELL ANOTHER MAN TO SUCK YOUR DICK. ESPECIALLY A HISTORICAL PUBLIC BLACK FIGURE. YOU FUKKIN FAGGOT!! AND YOU THINK OPRAH AND AL WILL INVITE YOU ON THEIR SHOWS OR WASTE THEIR TIME TALKING TO YOUR SORRY AZZ? I FUKKIN HATE YOU DAVID BANNER! YOU ARE THE SCUM OF THE FUKKIN EARTH AND YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE BLACK RACE. FUKK YOU!!

WOW I LIKE THIS! IT’S LIKE STARRING ON MEET THE FAITH.

* grabs popcorn

People love to criticize others, but what are you guys doing?

I don’t know about AL , but Oprah and Jesse DOES a lot like somebody else said they can’t save the world, Why some of ya’ll are sitting down criticizing the like ya’ll know every single thing they do . I BET NONE OF YOU HAVE DONE HALF AS MUCH AS THEY DID.

I’m not a big fan of either , but I won’t criticize them cuz I know they have done more than I have.

@ 42 no 1 is telling any1 to stop what they are doing and go everywhere in the world to fix all the wrongs in the black community…

look at the raping of the girl from Duke and we later found it is bogus…they were all over it making sure the white men went to jail but here are 6 kids going to jail based on malicious treatments by white people BRING PRESS like they did for the “Duke raping”..
look @ the IMUS situation…they were all over it..Al was in every interview every radio station talking about this…makin sure IMUS got fired…
where have they been with this situation no statement no actions nothing…

For all…….Life goes on…The incident was tragic and we all felt it…but you have to move on and live

Bill Said:

Releasing a Statement saying “Tell Rev Al to Suck my D_ck” does not make David Banner appear like a intelligent person, a person who can control his emotions, or a person who THINKS about what he is going to say before saying it…..

Would you ever elect a person that tell other to Suck his D_ck ?

It’s just not the proper thing for a INTELLIGENT person to say.
I understand he is angry, but we (the black people) are educated people who don’t have to resort to profanity to express ourselves.

Especialy when we know that other will be reading our statements.

Peace

@ 38 David Banner has a bachelor degree in English, I believe . So its not hard to believe he wrote that statement hisself . Another thing , as far as him offering his penis to Al Sharpton , I really don’t think he meant it literally .

#62 THANK YOU I CO_SIGN EVERYTHING

GET UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT YOUR DAMN SELF.

Damn the wreck was almost a year ago the girl has to move on with her life and so do they I know it’s hard and life sometimes beats us up but tomorrow is not promised and I don’t think it would be fair to her or her child if she lived her life in complete seclusion she’s human like the next person and I’m sure her heart is filled with a sadness that we will never understand. This could’ve happened to anyone. He should be praying and encouraging his children to move forward instead of on-line stalking Brandy’s every move.

David banner’s comments were so childish and disrespectful he could have taken the mature approach and handled the situation like a man and Al Sharpton’s reply is straight hilarious but equally out of line.

* puts cornbread in a straight jacket.

#67 Jesse Jackson LIVES in Chicago and they have been working to protest and change gun laws about 32 school children that died this past year. THAT is where he has been. How do you know he has EVEN heard about hte Jena six when so few people have.

Jesse Jackson does a lot the MEDIA just doesn’t display it. how can you judge someone and you DON’t know WHAT they do???

if i can recall this is not the first time david banner has made a comment about this type of issue….do u guys know CL?
