Hump Day: Stop Humpin' Around Part One









First, let me start by introducing myself and thanking Vanity Pages for allowing me to add my two cents to the blog! You can call me Dr. Rocky, I’ll be your resource for all things medical. As a newly minted physician, I feel I would be remiss if I didn’t bring some very important issues to the forefront, so here I am!

After recently getting married and moving to Atlanta, GA, (a.k.a. Black Hollywood, a.k.a. modern day Sodom and Gomorrah, a.k.a. 7th level of Hell) I have become increasingly frustrated at the state of medical affairs in our community. During our weekly dish sessions on life, Eddie Nicole and I came to the realization that we are totally uninspired and absolutely must do something about it. On one of my first trips to the ATL, I had a conversation with this guy that really made me both sad and angry at the same time. He told me about a blood drive held at a local nightclub. Apparently, after collecting about 500 blood samples, the staff realized that they would have to trash about half of them because they were positive for HIV. Let me just say that this is purely heresay and I have no way of proving whether or not this is true. But, as if this wasn’t enough, I heard that when Houston (a.k.a. greatest city ever, a.k.a. New Orleans II, a.k.a. Syrup City) held its “Hip Hop for HIV” concert (instead of buying tickets they were free with proof of a recent HIV test), 10,000 test results were positive! WTF Black People? Ok, we need to talk about this….

Awww Sh*t: It's Going Down! Jennifer Hudson stars in "Sex in the City"

Some major news has hit the media. I am so excited that "Sex in the City" will feature Lil Miss Effie White herself, Jennifer Hudson as Carrie's (SJP) assistant. Her name is Louise (Ooh I hope she's not soulful, the name sounds kind of homely..right!) I can't wait for this movie.
About time they decided to throw one of us in there. Damn! As much as I love me some Sex and this City, I always wondered why the Foursome never had any black girl associates or friends. The black chick, (who happened to be a very attractive cab driver by the way, how many cute black cab drivers do ya'll see in the city), who bought Carrie a hot dog after her book signing was the only black girl with a line a can remember. That shit didn't count to me, but I kept watching until the very end. I longed for Tracy Ellis Ross or Nia Long to have some kind of cameo appearance, but nope. Instead, they gave us fine ass Blair Underwood the role as Robert Leeds, the NBA doctor. Did ya'll catch any discrepancies with this? First of all, it's believable that a black NBA doctor would date a female of the other persuasion. But dating Miranda....I have a problem with that! Miranda is pale, she had that crooked tooth, and she was kind of fleshy and dorky. That relationship was never believable in my opinion. But, I totally love Miranda's character with her cynical attitude. Anyway, I am happy for J. Hud, I was getting kind of worried about her career, since her widely anticipated album got pushed back.

Black 20 yr old woman raped and tortured: Police suspecting it to be a Hate Crime

I know we post a lot about fashion and style. But I feel it is my duty to post horrific tales of racism from all demographics. It just seems that the media won't keep their ear to the street on what's important for us all to see and hear. America's not right and I hope that people will start to realize this. Thanks to concreteloop for posting this. I hope you all pass this story around.













Once again, I can't believe this. The Jenna 6, now this. Wake up America!

“Every time they stabbed her, they called her ‘nigger,’” her mother said.


But whatever the reason, Carmen Williams wants people to know what happened to her daughter. She agreed to talk to a reporter from her daughter’s room at Charleston Area Medical Center General Hospital.

She said a man and a woman — who Megan Williams thought were her friends — took her to the house of Frankie Lee Brewster in Pecks Mill, Logan County.

Megan Williams was held in the house for about a week, police said.

According to criminal complaints filed against six people in this case, she was beaten, stabbed, choked, sexually assaulted and threatened with death.

The details are even more horrible. According to the complaints, she was forced to eat dog and rat feces and to lick up blood. She was made to lick parts of Brewster’s body, under the threat of death. Her hair was pulled out. She was made to drink from the toilet. She was sexually assaulted while hot water was poured on her body, and while a man held a knife to her.

I don't understand. We gotta get the hell out of these small towns! For more of the story, click on the title of this post above and it will direct you to the full story. I will keep this family in my prayers.
