One headline hard to overlook this week was the one about the recent release of the 911 tapes connected with the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin (pictured above). Go to the “Life in General” section and take a listen for yourself to see why so many people are enraged. Did you know that rapper/producer Ice Cube studied architecture before he became famous? Listen to what he has to say about world famous designers Charles and Ray Eames under “Creativity.” Warning, some profanity is used in this video, but hey, it’s Ice Cube. We should be use to it by now. Oh, and did you hear that Steve Harvey is bringing his new daytime talk show to Chicago? Read about it under “Entertainment.” Here are some other headlines you may have missed this past week.

It is so unfortunate that our society keeps allowing such atrocities to happen over and over again.. I truly don’t know where to begin or where to end.. May God grant his family the patience to deal with their loss.
I completely agree with you. I feel deeply for this family, especially since no arrest has been made. If the kid was really a threat to the neighborhood watch dude why kill him? the boy was unarmed. It seems as though he could have been stopped by another means. The fact that the police are sitting on this is outrageous.
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. Please come back again and often!
A very complicated issue.. Last week 16 Afghani civilians including 9 children were shot by a US soldier, and unfortunately no one gives a **** because these kids don’t matter, and I hate to say it but they also have dark skin! Just like every other similar incident the suspect has “mental” issues. the fact is we still have so much racism going on, And if either Travon or those Afghani kids were white, then…..
Right! I was watching a story on the news about the shooter yesterday. Not sure if there was ever a reason given for why he snapped. Had the shooter been a person of color CHANCES ARE that person would have been severely dealt with by now.
