Luda's Baby Mama Drama!

Def Jam rapper Ludacris is facing some baby mama drama!

The southern rapper was on some downtime and out nowhere he announces he's a father!

Christopher "Ludacris" Bridges is a father again. Besides his first child who he raps about on some songs, the proud father welcomes his second child to the world.

Cai Bella Bridges, the daughter of Tamika "Tammy" Fuller and rapper/actor.

There's word that Fatha Luda is trying to keep the child support at a minimum.
Throw them bows!
The report alleges Ludacris has admitted to conceiving the child during a “break” from his girlfriend, but is still looking to have paternity substantiated and a cap placed on the amount of child support he has to pay. TMZ has obtained legal papers where Ludacris claims to earn “only” $25,000 per month, which would place his monthly support payments at $1,754 under Georgia law. However, Forbes Magazine listed Ludacris’ net worth at $12 Million in 2012 as one of their “Cash Kings.”

Ludacris has one daughter named Karma from a previous relationship and the baby in question was born on December 10th of this year.

If he is actually looking to make a case that he only makes $300,000 per year, he may want to stop Instagramming Million dollar bills with the caption, “Money is attracted to me. Let’s see y’all bite this one. Ha! #nowthatsludicrous.”

According to TMZ, the “Fast & Furious” star recently sired a child with a woman named Tamika Fuller, despite being in a longterm relationship with Gabonese beauty Eudoxie Agnan.

So you know he's going to bring back attention?

Say his old nemesis, Bill-O!

Actors Reflect On James Avery's Death!

Actor James Avery passed away. He played Uncle Phil on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and The Shredder on the 1987 Mirage's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles television series.

It turns out the first day was a surprise for most in the entertainment community.

Actor James Avery, who played Uncle Phil on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air has passed away yesterday marking the first celebrity death of 2014.

His publicist and CNN confirmed that he passed away. An outpouring of sympathy came from Hollywood including his former co-star Alfonso Ribeiro, who tweeted, "I'm deeply saddened to say that James Avery has passed away. He was a second father to me. I will miss him greatly."

Avery had recently undergone open heart surgery and reportedly died from complications from the operation.

A classically trained actor and poet, Avery grew up in Atlantic City, N.J., where he was raised by a single mother. He served in the Navy during the Vietnam War and first appeared onscreen as a dancer in an uncredited role in the 1980 film "The Blues Brothers."

Avery also voiced characters for many animated series, most notably for 1987's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" as The Shredder. He also did voice acting for 1990s "Iron Man" character War Machine.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is an American television sitcom that originally aired on NBC from September 10, 1990, to May 20, 1996. The show stars Will Smith as a fictionalized version of himself, a street-smart teenager from West Philadelphia who is sent to move in with his aunt and uncle in their wealthy Bel-Air mansion, where his lifestyle often clashes with that of his relatives. The 148 episodes were broadcast over six seasons.

He was survived by his wife Barbara in 1988. He had no children of his own, but was a stepfather to his wife's son, Kevin Waters.

It's disputed about his age. According to TMZ, he was 65. But to Wikipedia, he was 68.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of James Avery.

A Right Wing Racist View of Black Women Ten Years Ago

A Right Wing Racist's View of Black Women.
 

This sums it up about right wing racist men's views of Black women.  Is it any wonder why Black women don't date/marry/have families with nonblack men.  It's because of those backward, retrogade views of Black women.

Here's a "gem" from that racist troll, "Kyle Ranier".  This was written ten years ago at A GoodBlackMan.com website. These bigots love to troll Black websites and attack us in any way they can.  There are more trolls visiting and posting on Black websites today than they were back in 2004.  Here are his retrogade views:

"If anyone wonders why racial tensions are so high in this country, they need look no further than articles such as those youÂ’ve posted from “Disgusted White Girl” and “Black Royalty”. IÂ’m a firm believer that people make you who you are and this is a prime example of why people become prejudice. This served no purpose other than to rile both blacks and whites. That being said, youÂ’ve successfully provoked me to rebut “Black RoyaltyÂ’s” rational, not to mention his sense of history. I donÂ’t expect this to be posted since it does not flatter black women (much like “Black RoyaltyÂ’s” article does little to compliment white women), but at least I feel like IÂ’ve made an attempt to defend our women in the same public forum given to Â'Black RoyaltyÂ'”.

Dear Black Royalty,


"Let me start by saying that, I do not intend to defend “Disgusted White Girl” for her poor choice in men. If she likes men who are insecure, afraid, weak, and intimidated (your words), that’s her problem. My guess is that no white man would probably have her anyway. The fact is interracial couples always have been and always will be sneered at. To her I say if you want to play in the kitchen, shut up and be prepared to deal with the heat. As for you, although you try to portray yourself as the upper crust of black society, there is a huge difference between being “educated” and being intellectual. I think you confused the two. First, you should try using spell check and grammar check. It’s a wonderfully useful tool. And whether you intended to or not, you did “waste your precious time slandering white people”, and if a white person had written half of what you did, they’d be labeled a racist; no questions asked. So let’s test that theory.
First of all, donÂ’t assume that every white person you meet has ancestors who owned slaves. Many whites are descendants of immigrants who had very little, if anything to do with any part of it. So before you go thinking that it was the enslaved black women who saved white AmericaÂ’s taste buds and infants, think again. We donÂ’t owe them anything. Slavery was a horrible part of American history, and it happened over 300 years ago. I think itÂ’s time you all get over it and stop thinking every white person owes you something. You mention black Egyptian Queens such as Hatsepshut and Nitocris (not Nitorcris) as though they are YOUR ancestors. So are you African American or Egyptian? They are two different cultures, so pick one and stick with it. The way I see it, if you are of Egyptian descent, then YOUR ancestors enslaved the Hebrews for hundreds of years (yes, during HatsepshutÂ’s reign), so IÂ’m thinking you probably owe them some type of restitution. Besides, Hatsepshut often dressed as a male and had numerous female lovers. ThatÂ’s some role model youÂ’re invoking for black women. Maybe YOU should read your history. And if you are African American, do you think that European whites were the only ones living in caves during the Egyptian dynasties? Yes, IÂ’m sure the tribal lords in the African jungles were very busy devising the geometrics to the pyramids in 1500 B.C.
Also, I don’t know what “day” you were talking about, nor do I know what elite neighborhood you were raised, but I’m 41 years old, I don’t ever remember any “days” when young black girls were raised in the church and were careful about losing their virginity. Maybe you’re talking about pre-segregation times when the moral fabric of this country was something to be proud of for both blacks and whites. I live near a large city where young black girls between the ages of 15 and 19 have had the highest pregnancy rate among all races for the past 15 years. And you call white women easy and docile? That doesn’t sound like strict moral upbringing to me. In fact, it sounds like young black women are giving it up fairly regularly. You say black men are looking for women to control? I assume much in the same way men like Bobby Brown, Ike Turner, James Brown, O.J. Simpson, and Kobe Bryant “control” their women. I would expect nothing more from a culture which glamorizes rape, murder, gang violence and drugs; a culture where it’s considered cool to be an underwear-showing law-breaking thug; where you’re judged more by the amount of jewelry worn and whether or not your car rolls or bounces down the street rather than feeding and educating your kids. Yes, if you’re looking for a virtuous woman to be a mother to your children, I’m sure you can find your pick of them dancing in hip-hop videos. Perhaps if more young black women took the time to actually parent their illegitimate children, the cities would be a better place to live and public schools would be a safe place to send your kids.
You also mention the strength of black women. Are you sure youÂ’re not confusing strength with being loud-mouthed and belligerent? Or by strength, do you imply exploiting government assistance programs rather than striving to achieve prosperity on your own? Come to think of it, youÂ’re right. Black women do get pretty strong if you threaten to end the government gravy train. Or is that loud-mouthed and belligerent? I can never tell. But to that end, if you want the government to support you, maybe you should move to France. And by the way, why is it that black women get their hair straightened, softened and highlighted? It couldnÂ’t possibly be that they want their hair to look more like that of a white womanÂ’s could it?
The bottom line is that if you believe all black women to be African Queens, youÂ’re entitled to your opinion. At least now I know why I canÂ’t get good service at a McDonaldÂ’s restaurant…too many queens working there I suppose. But I have a virtuous woman who is strong, intelligent, beautiful, and would be a fantastic wife, mother and soul mate if given the chance. To top it all off, sheÂ’s white! But if I ever decide to find a woman who is lazy, loud, quarrelsome, and confrontational, IÂ’ll be sure to try your side of the fence. And if I sound like a racist, I sincerely donÂ’t mean to; after all, no offense taken, none given, right?"

The Racist Right Wants To See The Ax Fall On Melissa Harris-Perry!

Melissa Harris-Perry comes out with an apology towards perennial loser Mitt Romney. 

Over the weekend, Tulane University professor and Obama News agitator Melissa Harris-Perry got into some hot water after she took a shot at the perennial loser Mitt Romney's adoptive grandson.

While the racist right comes out in defense of Phil Robertson, the patriarch of Duck Dynasty for his homophobic and racist comments, they would go after the Obama News commentator because she believes that the former Republican nominee is condescending asshole. I really agree with that assertion.

Harris-Perry had the panelists attempt to caption a Romney family photo, which included all of Mitt Romney's grandchildren.

Harris-Perry joked that Kieran Romney would marry Kanye West's daughter, North West.

Panelist and comedian Dean Obeidallah said the photo "really sums up the diversity of the Republican party."

Pia Glenn, upon seeing the photo stated, "One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just isn't the same." Another panelist likened an adopted black grandchild to a token black person appearing at the Republican National Convention.

A huge family for the countless time loser!
Harris-Perry stated that "My goal is that in 2040, the biggest thing of the year will be the marriage between [Romney's grandchild] and North West. Can you imagine Mitt Romney and Kanye West as in-laws?"

Harris-Perry specifically stated the Romney grandchild by full name. Immediately after the show backlash erupted. A few days after the show, Harris-Perry apologized in a series of tweets for using Mitt Romney's black adopted grandchild in a comedy segment on the show.

Will the racist right start calling for blood again?

Because they've gotten rid of Martin Bashir and Alec Baldwin.

Melissa Harris-Perry's program features panel discussions focusing on national politics while exploring the "intersections of culture, art and community".

The show's two-hour running time allows for a more diverse pool of guests compared to typical cable news programs. In addition, since the show airs on weekends, Harris-Perry says it has "a little bit more breathing room" to respond to the weekly news cycle.

Harris-Perry encourages viewers to interact with the show via Twitter using the #nerdland hashtag, which she uses to describe an occasional destination for its topic field and intensity of discourse.

The shows places a strong emphasis on pop culture in an effort to expand the idea of what is considered "political".

Instead of political pundits, Harris-Perry often invites academics, activist Hollywood stars and underrepresented voices as guests. In addition, she often discusses politics outside the beltway, including politics of the South (known as the Southern Strategy).

Conservatives Cheer With Glee As Progressive Radio Is Yanked Off The Air!

Progressive talk radio is an endangered species.

The racist right won many battles in 2013. They've taken Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Mike Lee and Rand Paul to the mainstream. Four men who have relatively no accomplishments managed to get more attention in the junk food media. They've been on many GOP Sunday programs ranting and raving about how they hate Barack Obama and offer no real ideas to go against him.

They've gotten Martin Bashir off MSNBC (Obama News) after he compared Palin Da Ass's comments to defecating in a slave's mouth.

They've rallied against the IRS, the U.S. Census bureau, the TSA, the NSA and the president's nominees.

How many times have you've heard about Benghazi?

I know that Lindsay Graham, Michelle Bachmann, Darrell Issa, and Mike Rogers are harping about the president letting Americans dies overseas at a Libyan consulate that was a CIA front. And despite evidence proving the president's point about a spontaneous event, these right wing agitators made a theme of it being a moment of aloof for President Barack Obama.

They managed to shuffle the deck in the fight for Congress. The Republicans lead in most national polls. They many have the potential to win Congress. They've gerrymandered districts that made it even harder for Democrats to pick up. To make this clear, even a moderate Republican can lose.

Alan Colmes
They managed to get Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson back on the show.

They managed to put progressive radio on the ropes literally. They cheer knowing that Stephanie Miller, Bill Press, Ed Schultz, Thom Hartmann, Alan Colmes, Joe Madison, Randi Rhodes and Mike Malloy are bumped off the air.

In part of the Cumulus firing of That Guy Who Helped Obama Win (aka Sean Hannity), the radio dials had to change flagships. Some stations are willing to take that annoying ass conservative agitator in place of a handful of progressive agitators who once held title to their stations. The shakeup has even Stephanie Miller, the 10th most listened agitator searching for a new radio home. Ed Schultz, the fifth most listened agitator on radio flagship WWRL AM, New York is going to Spanish language and he's bumped.

Stephanie Miller.
 The flagship station KTLK AM in Los Angeles will drop Stephanie Miller and Ed Schultz for King Hippo (aka Rush Limbaugh) and That Guy Who Helped Obama Win.  the media radio giants have decided that the progressive voices aren't marketable either.

It's a sad state of affairs. Most talk radio hosts are WHITE MALES. There is a strong lack of diversity in the talk radio format.

And due to the fact that those two conservative agitators caused a whole lot of trouble during 2012 U.S. presidential elections, some media outlets are trying to keep controversy to a minimum.

These two agitators really screwed up everyone's opportunity for advertising successes. Now progressive talkers and up-in-coming conservatives are struggling to find many radio affiliates and finding alternatives off the AM dial. Some are taking it to SiriusXM or the internet.

The stations that had progressive radio agitators are being replaced with conservative agitators. Some are even going to sports talk and Spanish radio.

Currently, there are fewer than 100 U.S. commercial radio stations carrying liberal talk programs, compared to around 600 stations for King Hippo and 500 for That Guy Who Helped Obama Win and many other agitators. A good example of the format's struggles is in Boston, where Clear Channel put it on AM 1200 and 1430 from 2004 until 2006. A short time later, host Jeff Santos began buying time on WWZN AM 1510 in Boston airing his own show plus syndicated offerings such as Ed Schultz and Stephanie Miller.

As money dried up, and after other national hosts were offered such as Al Sharpton, his brokered time on WWZN shrank to his own show, and then that was cut loose in the fall of 2012 as the station went to all sports. Santos does have a few other stations in other areas carrying his show but is currently off in Boston, thought of as a left-leaning city (it is possible National Public Radio stations in the area cater to this audience already.)

On January 21, 2010, Air America announced that it would immediately cease programming, and the company would file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy; citing some of the following reasons on their website:

"The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air America's business.
Joe Madison left AM radio to join SiriusXM. One of the many progressive voices on radio that moved to the internet when their affiliates dropped programming.
This past year has seen a "perfect storm" in the media industry generally. National and local advertising revenues have fallen drastically, causing many media companies nationwide to fold or seek bankruptcy protection.

From large to small, recent bankruptcies like Citadel Broadcasting and closures like that of the industry's long-time trade publication Radio and Records have signaled that these are very difficult and rapidly changing times."

It's business though.

In my opinion the top ten agitators in the talk radio format:

1) Rush Limbaugh
2) Sean Hannity
3) Michael Savage
4) Glenn Beck
5) Ed Schultz
6) Mark Levin
7) Dave Ramsey
8) Thom Hartmann
9) Howard Stern
10) Stephanie Miller
