MOREHOUSE COLLEGE HAS FIRST WHITE VALEDICTORIAN

posted by TrinkyWiggy

Joshua Packwood knows what it's like to be a minority.

This weekend he'll be the first white valedictorian to graduate from the historically black, all male Morehouse College in the school's 141-year history.

Morehouse, in Atlanta, Georgia, is one the nation's most prestigious universities of its kind. For more than a century, the school has prided itself on personifying the dream of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., one of the school's most notable alums, by producing "Morehouse Men" - intelligent and successful black leaders.

"Because I'm one of the only white students, it's easy to call me 'the white boy,' I'm naturally going to stand out," says Packwood.

But Packwood, 22, doesn't stand out solely because he is white or has maintained a 4.0 grade point average. For those who don't know him, what is surprising is that a Rhodes Scholar finalist turned down a full scholarship to Columbia University to attend the all-black men's university.

This came naturally to Packwood, who attended a predominantly black high school.

"A large majority of my friends, like all my girlfriends have been minorities," says Packwood. "So it was very, it was kind of strange that I always kind of gravitated to the black community."

UMFFF...AL GOT US STRAIGHT.

posted by TrinkyWiggy

Dear Friends:

If you think you are having a tough day, may I propose you walk in my shoes for a few hours.

In my mind, it feels like “Dump on Al Month.” And I’m not having fun yet.

I have been called a gigolo, a freeloader, unemployed, a sham and many other things that don’t bear repeating. People on television, radio and the internet have spoken disparagingly of my life, my sexuality, my career and my integrity.

The media has barraged me (at my home), my friends, my family (including my 79 year old mother), my college classmates, my students and my professional colleagues. Yet, despite this intense level of provocation, I have said nothing.

My Publicist has put out a one sentence statement: “We’re taking the high road.” And we have and will continue on that path.

As much as I want to defend myself, it seems like a silly and futile exercise.

It’s clear that the media doesn’t want to let the truth get in the way of a good story. I hate to ruin their fun.

I take great comfort in the fact that my loved ones and those people who really know me continue to love and respect me.

Thank you “all” for the endless emails, phone calls and words of encouragement.

I know in my heart that I entered my marriage with love and the best of intentions and leave it with great sadness that it didn’t work.

What the world doesn’t know about me would fill a book, but I know who I am and what I have achieved in my life. Before I met Star Jones I was a successful Wall Street banker and since then I have become an entrepreneur, an educator and soon, an author.

I grew up in a working class home, a mobile home in fact. I understand the struggles of the working class. My mother was a teacher and my father was in the military. I was given values, integrity and a strong moral upbringing (thanks mom and dad).

In these hard economic times, I am working to take my knowledge and experience of the business world and use it to empower and enlighten working class Americans who are often ‘left behind’ by traditional financial advice. I educate inspiring young men and women at Florida Memorial University, a historically black liberal arts university in Miami, Florida.

I continue to follow my entrepreneurial spirit in the world of business and investment while completing my doctorate in Organizational Leadership.

So I indeed work very hard as a professor, business owner, doctoral student and author.

I play hard too. I make no apologies for that. A guy is entitled to a little fun, after all.

What I want people to know is that I am not the caricature portrayed by the media.

I am complex, contradictory and capable of great intelligence but also remarkable stupidity. In other words, I am a human being.

To me, labels are for clothes, not people. So…..Please don’t try to define me; don’t try to categorize me; and most of all, don’t label me. Instead, JUST GET TO KNOW ME.

And if you see me, just call me Al.

REMY MA GETS 8 YEARS FOR SHOOTING OF FRIEND

posted by TrinkyWiggy

A weeping Remy Ma was sentenced to eight years in prison Tuesday for shooting a woman outside a Manhattan nightclub. "I feel so bad for all the physical and mental pain you've gone through," the Grammy-nominated rapper told the victim. "This has taken a toll on us and both our families. I would never wish you harm and I pray the best for all of us."

The entertainer, whose real name is Remy Smith, had faced up to 25 years in prison for assault, weapon possession and attempted coercion for shooting Makeda Barnes Joseph last July in a dispute over money.

Smith, 26, begged the judge for leniency for the sake of "my little boy," saying she grew up "surrounded by failure, violence and poverty," but "made something out of nothing" from her life.

State Supreme Court Justice Rena Uviller said she recognized that Smith had had a difficult childhood, but noted the victim had nearly died and will never be the same physically. Uviller called the rapper "a young woman whose anger is out of control."

After the sentencing, Smith's fiance, fellow rapper Papoose, began screaming in a hallway outside the courtroom. "All you want is money!" he said, apparently referring to the victim.

"Lock me up! Lock me up!" he then shouted to court officers, who escorted him out of the courthouse.

The couple had planned to wed last weekend at the Rikers Island jail, where Smith has been incarcerated. Correction officials said they called off the wedding after Papoose showed up with a handcuff key.

Smith's lawyer, Ivan Fisher, said Papoose had a key but denied that it could be used to open handcuffs. Papoose, whose real is Shamele Mackie, hasn't been charged.

Fisher said the couple still plan to wed.

And did you see how she was modeling the dress for the camera. Lord Why??????

TONI BRAXTON OUT TILL JUNE FROM HER LAS VEGAS SHOW

posted by TrinkyWiggy

Toni Braxton's return to the stage on the Las Vegas strip has been pushed back for at least another month.

A spokeswoman for Harrah's Entertainment says the target date to resume "Toni Braxton: Revealed" at the Flamingo Las Vegas hotel is now June 6th.

Braxton's show has been dark since the singer was hospitalized overnight for chest pain on April 7th.

The spokeswoman says she can't comment about Braxton's medical condition. The 40-year-old entertainer has been treated in the past for pericarditis, a viral inflammation of the heart.

Braxton's two-year run at the Flamingo Las Vegas is scheduled to end in August.

VANESSA WILLIAMS RECEIVES BA FROM SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY

posted by TrinkyWiggy
Vanessa Williams has received her bachelor of fine arts degree from Syracuse University, nearly 25 years after she dropped out to become the first black Miss America.

The 45-year-old actress-singer, who stars in ABC's "Ugly Betty," also delivered the convocation address Saturday to graduates of Syracuse's College of Visual and Performing Arts.

She encouraged her fellow graduates to "treasure this moment." "These days are irreplaceable and are the beginning of the rest of your life," she said, according to the Web Site of The Syracuse Post-Standard.

When she accepted her diploma, Williams raised it to show her mother and children.

Williams attended Syracuse's drama department as a musical theater major from 1981-1983. She earned the remaining credits for her degree through industry experience and performances on stage and screen.
