First Lady Speaks The Truth That All Black Moms face.

First Lady Michelle Obama called Trayvon Martin’s death a ‘tragedy’ and said Americans should rally around the teen’s parents as they mourn.

In an interview with National Public Radio Tuesday, Mrs Obama said she hopes the February 19 shooting in Sanford, Florida, sparks a conversation about race and diversity that goes beyond the controversial case.
In her comments, she did not mention George Zimmerman, the 28-year-old neighborhood watch volunteer who is charged with murdering the unarmed 17-year-old.

‘All I can say is that my heart goes out to the parents, because we all as parents understand the tragedy of that kind of loss, and I think that’s really the thing that most people connect to,’ she said.


And it’s important for us not to lose sight of the fact that this is a family that’s grieving and there’s been a tremendous loss. And we all have to rally around that piece of it.’

Judge Recksiedler’s husband is the law partner of Mark NeJame, an attorney who provides legal analysis for CNN and was approached to represent Zimmerman.

Mrs Obama’s sympathetic words for Trayvon’s parents echo her husband’s remarks about the shooting last month.
‘My main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin. You know, if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,’ President Barack Obama said.

His message, in which he also called the shooting a ‘tragedy,’ sparked controversy, with Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich calling it ‘disgraceful race-baiting.’

The shooting at a gated community, while Trayvon was returning to his father’s girlfriend’s home with Skittles and iced tea, has sparked protests across the country.

Many see the case as a racial issue. Trayvon was black and Zimmerman, who claimed self-defense and was not arrested until a special prosecutor investigated the case, is half-Hispanic and half-white.

Mrs Obama said she believes the country can learn from the shooting and should continue discussing the controversial issues.

‘It’s all about, you know, continuing to get to know ourselves in a very diverse and complicated country that is America,’ she told NPR.

‘But because it is so diverse, our challenges are complex. So there isn’t, you know, a one-shot solution to this.’

Homeless Man Moves In With Diddy.

The way Quamine Taylor describes Diddy’s East Hampton’s mansion’s security, or lack of it, that’s the place to head to when you want to live the luxurious life and don’t have to pay for it. Well, on second thought Quamine is paying for it.

Here’s the story. Taylor, 30,  was arrested for trespassing at the home of Sean “Diddy” Combs, where he had a good ol’ time, eating fancy food, drinking the best liquor, and even wearing Diddy’s clothes.

Taylor found an unlocked basement door and made himself at home for almost 24 hours in the mogul’s estate in the Hamptons.


But, would you believe this is not the first time that Taylor treated himself to Mr. Combs’ digs?

“I’ve actually been going to the house from time to time since 2001,” Taylor told the New York Post at the Suffolk County Jail. It seems he got drunk and was discovered at the home’s pool the first time.

This time, he fooled the alarm company into believing he was part of Diddy’s entourage when he triggered the alarm on his March 31st visit to the mansion.

All was going well for Mr. Taylor until 4pm on April 1st when a caretaker discovered him and called the cops. And now that he’s been busted, he’s telling the world why he did the deed.

“I really didn’t go to Diddy’s house because I’m a big fan of his. I just wanted to get out of the city for a while,” Taylor explained.

If you’re getting the feeling this character is a little “off,” you’re absolutely right says his Moms.
“He grew up listening to [Diddy’s] music,” said Taylor’s concerned mother. “He has a long history of mental illness, and he has been off his meds for a while. We have been trying to get him some help.”

So far no word from Diddy’s camp on the incident.

White Woman Drives Across Highway To Hit A Black Teen Head On.

A collision between a Jeep and a go-cart in Pearland, Texas has sparked a race debate that’s initiated a flood of phone calls and e-mails from across the country.

But while people on the outside are debating race, those close to what happened are shutting down that argument. Still, they have a problem with what’s occurred and a bigger problem that the woman hasn’t been arrested.

“Race is not an issue, what is an issue is right and wrong,” said the victim’s father Jules Moor. Moor has filed a lawsuit against the woman who investigators say drove her Jeep Wrangler into his 13-year-old son’s go-cart on March 13, 2012, as he was riding in the 2600 block of Lakecrest Drive, where he lives.

His son was rushed to the hospital with head and neck injuries. “I don’t think, I know for a fact that she intentionally did it,” said Moor. “She left from the northbound lane, crossed over into the southbound lane, jumped the curb and hit my son head on in his go-cart.”

The Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office did not arrest the woman at the scene or charge her with a crime. Instead, investigators chose to take it to a grand jury. Moor is frustrated and wants charges filed against the woman, who lives around the corner from him. “I want justice to happen. I want a felony charge to be taken against this woman,” Moor said.
