Stephanie Grace Believes In The Superiority Of The White Race!


Stephanie Grace is a disgrace to the white race.She is the ignorant Harvard Law student who sent out a racist email in which she stated that blacks aren't as intelligent as whites.I thought that we were living in a "post-racial" society.Don't you just love how that myth keeps getting debunked time & time again? Racism is carried from generation to generation.It's not just old white tea party folks who feel this way.Young,supposedly bright college students like Stephanie Grace are living proof of this sad fact.

You would think that a Harvard law student would have way more intelligence than Stephanie Grace appears to have.I mean,why she would put these racist thoughts in a email? That's pretty freaking stupid right there!I'm sure that she never imagined that email would become as public as it did.Now,Ms. Grace is trying to save face by issuing an apology in which she contradicts her own stated beliefs.

But,the proof is in the pudding.I hope nobody believes that blacks are intellectually inferior to whites.Especially if you compare the current president to the previous one.There is no way that anyone can truthfully say that George Bush is more intelligent than Barack Obama.Like I said,the proof is in the pudding.That is just one comparison out of many that I could make.

Here's more on this story from The Boston Globe:

"Grace, an editor of the Harvard Law Review, is headed for a federal clerkship in California with Ninth Circuit Court Judge Alex Kozinski. She graduated from Princeton University in 2007 with the highest honors and obtained a degree in sociology, according to the university’s registrar. A Princeton website said Grace conducted research on how the racial composition of one’s freshman year roommates influences behaviors, attitudes, and perceptions in subsequent college years.

In her e-mail to her friends, she wrote that while she could “be convinced that by controlling for the right variables, we would see that [black people] are, in fact, as intelligent as white people under the same circumstances. The fact is, some things are genetic. . . .

“I don’t think it is that controversial of an opinion to say I think it is at least possible that African-Americans are less intelligent on a genetic level, and I didn’t mean to shy away from that opinion at dinner,’’ she continued.

She signed off on the e-mail with, “Please don’t pull a Larry Summers on me’’ — referring to the former Harvard president who was pressured to resign after faculty unrest in part because he suggested in a 2005 speech that women lacked the same “intrinsic aptitude’’ for science as men.

On Wednesday, Grace sent an apology to leaders of the Black Law Students Association, the president of the student government, Minow, and several faculty members.

“I am deeply sorry for the pain caused by my e-mail. I never intended to cause any harm, and I am heartbroken and devastated by the harm that has ensued. I would give anything to take it back,’’ Grace said in the apology, obtained by the Globe.

“I emphatically do not believe that African-Americans are genetically inferior in any way. I understand why my words expressing even a doubt in that regard were and are offensive.’’(END OF EXCERPT)Read the whole article here.

YouTube Pulls M.I.A's Controversial "Born Free" Video


Wow!I think that YouTube went way too far when it pulled M.I.A's video off of its site.I mean, you can view clips of porn on YouTube,for goodness sake.So,how the heck is this video a violation of their policy? This video is not the most shocking thing that I have ever seen.It' just very,very political,though.And I think that's the reason why the reaction to this video is so strong.Some folks highly praise it while others show their disdain for it.

Here's my opinion.I didn't dig the song at all. So,I couldn't sit through the video.And I like M.I.A. Whenever I look at any music video for more than a split second,it is because I like both the artist & the song.Your video should never be more interesting than your song.It's supposed to complement it.Not overshadow the music entirely as this video apparently has.

Here's more from MTV News:

"With its scenes of graphic violence and politically charged message, M.I.A.'s video for "Born Free" has already elicited impassioned responses from her fans and detractors. Now, thanks to those critics, it has been pulled from one of the most popular video sites on the Internet.

On Tuesday, YouTube yanked the so-called "real and explicit version" of "Born Free" from its pages, claiming the clip violated rules that "prohibit content like pornography or gratuitous violence."

A spokesperson for the site told the BBC that, while YouTube does not comment on individual videos, its policy is "to age-restrict content that has been flagged by the community and identified by our policy enforcement team as content that, while not violating our community guidelines, is not suitable for users under age 18."

Originally, the "Born Free" video was tagged as containing "content that is inappropriate for some users" and required users to verify they were over the age of 18 before they were allowed to watch the clip (something M.I.A. herself pointed out on her Twitter account)."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Sandra Bullock Adopted A Beautiful Black Baby!


After seeing that horrific husband of hers in Nazi gear,I was wondering if Sandra Bullock was anything like Jesse James.I mean,she is German after all.But,it appears that she is not a secret Nazi lover.Maybe her husband is into collecting Nazi memorabilia,but I don't think she's into that at all.Sandra wouldn't have chosen the beautiful,black baby that she is gazing adoringly at on the cover of People magazine if she were a xenophobe.

I love the fact that she adopted a baby that was from America.Instead of going to another continent,Sandra Bullock found a little angel right in New Orleans.There are plenty of children that are in need right here in the United States of America. I'm glad to see that Sandra realizes that.And kudos to her for getting rid of Jesse James for good.They are getting divorced.

Here's more from Essence:

"Sandra Bullock has had one heck of a year thus far. First the Oscar for "The Blind Side" then her husband Jesse James' scandalous affairs and now the revelation that she adopted a Black boy from New Orleans in January. She named him Louis Bardo Bullock. Cute name, and a great move for Sandy.

Bullock joins a small group of Hollywood celebs who have adopted Black children, like Steven Spielberg (son, Theo), Tom Cruise (son, Connor), Brangelina (daughter Zahara) and Madonna (son and daughter, Mercy and David).

Though they've been ridiculed (remember the debate about Zahara's hair?) and their motives questioned (do Black children really belong in a White household?) these celebs are really going against the grain of adoption trends."(END OF EXCERPT)

Noah's Ark Has Supposedly Been Found!



Since this discovery involves a evangelical Christian filmmaker,I have my doubts about the validity of the claim that Noah's Ark has finally been found.But,that's what filmmaker,Yeung Wing-cheung,says.He is 99.9% sure that is the case.I say that it would be cool if it is true.I am a lover of all great archaeological finds.And,I daresay,this would definitely be one of the most important historical discoveries ever.

Here's more on this interesting story from The Daily Mail:

"As believers in the literal truth of the Bible, they knew it was there.Even so, the explorers who say they found seven large wooden compartments beneath snow and volcanic debris near the peak of Mount Ararat can be forgiven their excitement.

'It's not 100 per cent that it is Noah's Ark, but we think it is 99.9 per cent that this is it,' said Yeung Wing-cheung, a filmmaker working with the 15-strong team of fundamentalist Christians exploring the Turkish mountain.

Noah's Ark

In the Bible, the story of Noah's Ark appears in chapters six to nine of the Book of Genesis.

It tells how God, spurred by the wickedness and corruption of man, vows to send a great cleansing flood. Deeming Noah to be the only righteous man worth saving, God commands him to build a vast ship, the ark - capable of saving himself, his family and a representation of the world's animals.

When Noah has completed his task, and God has sent 'two of every sort' of animal to the Ark, the flood waters rise until all mountains are covered and life (except fish) is destroyed. When the flood subsides, the animals leave the Ark and God vows to never again send a flood to destroy man.

The story can also be found in the texts of Judaism and Islam. Although considered a historical event, most scholars and archaeologists do not believe in a literal interpretation of the Ark story. The vessel was said to measure '300 cubits, by 50 cubits, by 30 cubits', which translates to up to 515ft long, 86ft wide and 52ft high.

They said wood taken from the site, which is more than 13,000ft above sea level, dates to 2,800BC. If it is the ark, the discovery would be the greatest in the history of archaeology and bear out one of the most famous stories in the Bible.

The team of Turks and Chinese researchers from Noah's Ark Ministries International in Hong Kong say they made the discovery on Ararat - the biblical resting place of the ark - in October

At a press conference yesterday to announce the discovery, another team member, Panda Lee, said: 'I saw a structure built with plank-like timber.

'Each plank was about eight inches wide. I could see tenons, proof of ancient construction predating the use of metal nails.

'We walked about 100 metres to another site. I could see broken wood fragments embedded in a glacier, and some 20 metres long.'

The structure had several compartments, some with wooden beams, the team said.

The wooden walls of one compartment were smooth and curved while the video shown by the explorers revealed doors, staircases and nails.

The team said the wood appeared to be cypress although, according to the Bible, the ark was built from gopher.

The group ruled out identifying the find as a human settlement, saying none had been found so high up in that area. They are keeping the exact location secret.

Four years ago and following a decade of research, U.S. national security analyst Porcher Taylor claimed a satellite image revealed a baffling 'anomaly' on the mountain's north-west corner that he believed to be the remains of the Ark.

But Mike Pitt, a British archaeologist, said the evangelical explorers had yet to produce compelling evidence.

He added: 'If there had been a flood capable of lifting a huge ship 4km up the side of a mountain 4,800 years ago, I think there would be substantial geological evidence for this flood around the world. And there isn't.'

Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva Wants You To Boycott His State's Racist Law!


I support boycotting Arizona because I think that immigration law they passed is quite racist.Despite what Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer says,this will open the door to legalized racial profiling.Anyone that has an accent in the state of Arizona better watch out.Especially if you are Hispanic.

I think that there has to be a better way to control illegal immigration than this.And until Arizona figures out what the right method is,I believe that we should all stop doing business with Arizona.

Boycott Arizona!

Here's more from CBS News:

"Lawmakers in San Francisco today will vote on a citywide boycott of the state of Arizona, in protest of its new illegal immigrant law that has spurred a backlash across the country.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Friday signed into law a measure that would require immigrants to carry documents verifying their immigration status. It would also require police officers to question a person about his or her immigration status if there is "reasonable suspicion" that person may be illegally in the country.

Activists and politicians in Arizona and elsewhere have vowed to continue fighting the law. While it is sure to face legal challenges, Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva (D) has also called for a boycott of his state's goods, services and tourism. In his call for the boycott, Grijalva cited an Arizona boycott in the 1990's that persuaded the state to recognize Martin Luther King Day.

Following that logic, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors today will consider a resolution that would call for the city to end any and all contracts with Arizona-based companies and to stop doing business with the state, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

"We want to send a message," Supervisor David Campos reportedly said to a rally gathered in front of San Francisco City Hall. "There are consequences when you target a whole people."

Campos said it's still unclear how exactly a boycott would impact San Francisco, the Chronicle reports, but he added, "We do know that we won't be sending any city employees to conferences in Arizona."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Cameron Douglas Got 5 Yrs Because He's Rich & White!



Some people feel that Cameron Douglas should have gotten less time.I'm sure the folks that sympathize with Douglas must be in the same racial category as him.What black person feels sorry for Cameron Douglas after they realize that the sentencing phase would have been much harsher for one who shares their complexion?

The fate of the black man is all too often much worse than that of the white man.This case showcases the class & race disparities that continue to persist in America.Any black man with two previous drug convictions would have gotten way more than a 5 yr. sentence.And if you don't believe me,do the research for yourself.

Here's another opinion from the Global Post:

"More ridiculousness in America’s war on drugs yesterday, as the son of multimillionaire actor Michael Douglas was sentenced for five years for dealing methamphetamine from a trendy New York hotel.

The statutory minimum for this offence is ten years.

Whilst it is unusual to see a rich, white young man going to jail for drugs offences at all, this case does little to defend against the statistical fact that drug laws, particularly in America, are, for whatever reason, overwhelmingly enforced against poor young men from ethnic minorities with little or no education.

The fact that Cameron Douglas received a relatively lenient sentence highlights this problem in waging the drug war. Although the minimum sentence is technically much higher, it does seem somewhat perverse to throw a non-violent offender in jail at taxpayer expense for such a considerable length of time. This is especially true when it is clear that Douglas, like all drug addicts, needs treatment rather than punishment if he needs anything at all.

However, at the same time, the offence for which he was actually charged is the same that is used to go after violent, gang-affiliated thugs who sell exactly the same chemicals.

Because the same offence is used to criminalise such different people, it is only through mitigation pleadings in sentencing that differences between the dangerous, violent criminal, and the non-violent one can be distinguished. This is a relatively arbitrary process that gives an unfair prominence to wealth, race, social class, education and family background (or even more unjustly, a defendant’s political connections and the quality of his lawyers) to decide how long a person stays in jail."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Here's more on Cameron Douglas from the NY Daily News:

"Michael Douglas' son Cameron is a crystal meth mega-seller who's peddled heaps of the drug in New York since 2006, the feds said on Thursday.

Cameron Douglas, 30, raked in tens of thousands of dollars with his operation - selling whole pounds of the addictive synthetic stimulant to one informant, according to a criminal complaint.

Cameron Douglas is the wanna-be actor son of the "Basic Instinct" star and the grandson of Hollywood legend Kirk Douglas.

He was busted at a Manhattan hotel last week after allegedly mailing 215 grams of methamphetamine to a post office box in a package addressed to a "Paul Smith."

That was a fictitious name used by an informant - one of three the feds nabbed and turned against Douglas.

The feds say the Hollywood scion used code words like "pastries" and "bath salts" to discuss meth shipments in secretly recorded calls and texts.

"Did you get a chance to...smell any of the salts or anything like that?" he's quoted as asking an informant.

"The bath salts are fabulous! Thank you so much," the informant later responded.

"Yeah, I thought you would like them, my friend," Douglas replied. "I was so excited for you to take a bath and see for yourself."

The feds also said one informant introduced Douglas to another as a source of "large quantities of crystal meth."

Douglas' rap sheet includes two drug busts, in New York in 1999 and in California in 2007."(END OF EXCERPT)Read more here.

A poor black man with a rap sheet like that would have gotten life.That's so unfair.

In Remembrance Of Civil Rights Pioneer,Dorothy Height


98 yr. old Dorothy Height has passed away.She was the epitome of the civil rights movement.Ms.Height stood for the very same social justice that folks in the tea party movement seem to despise.This was a woman that was a true humanitarian & role model.Anyone can draw inspiration from the way that Dorothy Height lived her life.What a splendid example of a human being!

Folks,this is what a true American really is.Dorothy Heights fought to gain equality for all the people of America.Because of people like her,this country is a much greater place for everybody.

Here's more on this great civil rights leader from MSNBC:

"Height, whose activism on behalf of women and minorities dated to the New Deal, led the National Council of Negro Women for 40 years. She continued actively speaking out into her 90s, often getting rousing ovations at events around Washington, where she was immediately recognized by the bright, colorful hats she almost always wore.

She died at Howard University Hospital, where she had been in serious condition for weeks.

In a statement, President Barack Obama called her "the godmother of the civil rights movement" and a hero to Americans.

"Dr. Height devoted her life to those struggling for equality ... and served as the only woman at the highest level of the Civil Rights Movement — witnessing every march and milestone along the way," Obama said.

It was the second death of a major civil rights figure in less than a week. Benjamin L. Hooks, the former longtime head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, died Thursday in Memphis at 85.

As a teenager, Height marched in New York's Times Square shouting, "Stop the lynching." In the 1950s and 1960s, she was the leading woman helping King and other activists orchestrate the civil rights movement, often reminding the men heading the movement not to underestimate their women counterparts.

One of Height's sayings was, "If the time is not ripe, we have to ripen the time." She liked to quote 19th century abolitionist Frederick Douglass, who said that the three effective ways to fight for justice are to "agitate, agitate, agitate."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Hip Hop Legend Guru Has Died!



At the young age of 43,Guru,of the legendary Gang Starr,has passed away from cancer.Man,this is some very sad news for me to hear.When I first started rapping,Guru was one of the rappers that helped me develop my style.His lyrical delivery had me captivated.They just don't make guys that spit like Guru anymore.He will be sorely missed in the hip hop community.But,he will never be forgotten.Because legends never die.

Here's more on his untimely death from MTV News:

"Guru wrote his farewell letter while in the hospital, according to Solar. "I, Guru, am writing this letter to my fans, friends and loved ones around the world," it begins. "I have had a long battle with cancer and have succumbed to the disease. I have suffered with this illness for over a year. I have exhausted all medical options.

"I have a non-profit organization called Each One Counts dedicated to carrying on my charitable work on behalf of abused and disadvantaged children from around the world and also to educate and research a cure for this terrible disease that took my life. I write this with tears in my eyes, not of sorrow but of joy for what a wonderful life I have enjoyed and how many great people I have had the pleasure of meeting.

"My loyal best friend, partner and brother, Solar, has been at my side through it all and has been made my health proxy by myself on all matters relating to myself. He has been with me by my side on my many hospital stays, operations, doctors visits and stayed with me at my home and cared for me when I could not care for myself. Solar and his family is my family and I love them dearly and I expect my family, friends, and fans to respect that, regardless to anybody's feelings on the matter. It is my wish that counts. This being said I am survived by the love of my life, my sun KC, who I trust will be looked after by Solar and his family as their own. Any awards or tributes should be accepted, organized approved by Solar on behalf [of] myself and my son until he is of age to except on his own."

Guru very pointedly distanced himself from Premier in the letter, saying he didn't want his former musical collaborator to be able to participate in any tributes or events surrounding his death.

"I do not wish my ex-DJ to have anything to do with my name likeness, events, tributes etc. connected in anyway to my situation including any use of my name or circumstance for any reason and I have instructed my lawyers to enforce this," wrote Guru. "I had nothing to do with him in life for over 7 years and want nothing to do with him in death. Solar has my life story and is well informed on my family situation, as well as the real reason for separating from my ex-DJ."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Help Erect The Dr. Martin Luther King,Jr. Memorial In Washington,DC


I received an email from a reader that wants to spread the word about a great cause! The Dr. Martin Luther King,Jr.National Memorial needs support from the public in order to make it a reality.I will let Mr. Lowell Dempsey tell you how you can help in his own words.Here's an excerpt from that email I got from him:

"This month of April marks the 42nd anniversary of the death of Dr. King and we are commemorating his life and work by creating a memorial in our nation's capital. The Washington,DC Martin Luther King,Jr. National Memorial will honor his life and contributions to the world through non violent social change.

I've put together this micro-site to help get the message out - there are videos, photos, banners, and even a web toolbar that, when used, donates money to the creation of the memorial:

http://mlkmemorialnews.org

After many years of fund raising, the memorial is only $14 million away from its $120 million goal. If you are able to post or tweet about this please let me know so I can share it with the team. If you have any questions please pop me an email. And if you are able to help, thank you so much.

T-Pain Endorses Conservatives With Sean Hannity !


T-Pain,where's ya brain?At the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans that failed to even mention Hurricane Katrina victims,T-Pain felt compelled to show his support for folks like Sean Hannity.He made it clear that he wants you to vote for conservatives in 2010.

Dude,Sean Hannity despises people who look like you.Heck,most of these "pro-America" types aren't thinking of you when they espouse their patriotism.They want to "take the country back" to the days of the Founding Fathers.Conservatives don't give a damn about the historical plight of black people.Especially the ones who look like T-Pain!A lot of them support Confederate History Month for God's sake.Next,T-Pain will probably tell us that he celebrates Confederate History Month.

Sean Hannity used T-Pain when he asked him to endorse conservatives this year.It was an opportunity for him to try to make the Republican party look diversified.And,unfortunately for T-Pain,it was another chance for him to show just how brainless he really is.I'm willing to bet that he doesn't know the first thing about politics.

I have two adjectives that describe these two "gentlemen" perfectly.Dumb & dumber!

I Think We Should Have A Slave Revolt History Month!!!!



Since the governors of Mississippi & Virginia love Confederate History Month,I'm sure they won't love my idea!But,I'll throw it out there anyway!How's about a Slave Revolt History Month?

During this month,we will honor brave slave warriors like Denmark Vesey,Nat Turner,Gabriel Prosser & many others
.Documentaries celebrating the deaths of slave owners with vivid reenactments should flood the History Channel.Because they sure air enough Civil War documentaries that seem to glorify both the North & the South.

It makes my stomach turn whenever folks act like these Confederate traitors seceded from the Union because of State's rights.We all know that it was really about slavery.These were slave owners who were fighting to keep their way of life.And they are the same folks that some of my ancestors revolted against.While some slaves were docile & obedient,others organized slave rebellions.

Along with the glorification of the Confederacy,I believe that it would be appropriate for the descendants of slaves to publicly recognize the valiant slaves who fought for a different cause.While the Confederate soldiers were fighting for the freedom to own other human beings,slaves who participated in revolts were fighting for their right to live as a free person.

Here's more info on slave revolts:

"Very few, if any, African-Americans accepted their status as slaves. Most, if not all, slaveowneres were completely aware of this and, in general, they lived in fear of the African-Americans under the control. Not only did slaveowners expect slaves to run away, letters and diaries give strong evidence that slaveowners (and even non-slaveowners) in the south believed that rebellion was imminent. They had lived with this fear since 1792 when the Haitian Revolution proved unambiguously that slaves were ready to revolt and could do so with a passion that was awe-inspiring. Added to this mix was the fiery rhetoric of abolitionists, both black and white. The most frightening, to the slaveowners, of these abolitionists was Henry Highland Garnet who had escaped from slavery at the age of ten. In 1843 he called for a slave strike and suggested that it escalate to a slave revolt. By this point, the south had been rocked by three slave revolts which had struck fear to the very hearts of slaveowners.


Gabriel Prosser-The first major slave revolt in the south was led by a twenty-four year old slave named Gabriel Prosser. All of the major slave revolts in the south were led by people like Prosser, who were deeply Christian and were fired by religious indignation against slavery. Prosser was the first. In 1800, he began to lay plans to take the city of Richmond, Virginia, by force. He planned to invade Richmond, attack the armory, and arm his rebel slaves. By August of 1800, he had thousands of slaves enlisted and had stored up an armory of weapons, including guns. He was betrayed by two followers and, on the day of his revolt, with over a thousand followers ready to attack Richmond, the bridges into Richmod had been destroyed in a flood. The state militia attacked him the next day and he and his followers were hanged.

Althought Prosser's revolt ended in defeat, it terrified slaveowners throughout the south. Prosser had come very close to taking Richmond. If he had not been betrayed and if the bridges had not washed out, it is almost certain that he would have successfully taken the city of Richmond with his slave followers. Prosser's revolt was the closest America came to a revolution on the same scale as that in Haiti."(END OF EXCERPT)Read more here.

Republican Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi doesn't want to address slavery.Even though the state of Mississippi was deeply mired in it.

Here's more on that from Yahoo News:

"The dustup over Virginia's proclamation for Confederate History Month seems like a lot of noise over something that "doesn't amount to diddly," Mississippi's governor said in an interview aired Sunday.

Virginia's Republican governor, Bob McDonnell, apologized for leaving out of his proclamation any reference to slavery. He added language to the decree calling slavery "evil and inhumane" after being criticized for reviving what many Virginians believe is an insensitive commemoration of its Confederate past.

Fellow GOP Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi said he doesn't think the proclamation was a mistake.

"To me, it's a sort of feeling that it's a nit, that it is not significant, that it's not a — it's trying to make a big deal out of something (that) doesn't amount to diddly," Barbour said in the interview aired on CNN's "State of the Union."

Last year, Barbour issued a similar proclamation in his state that did not mention slavery. He also noted that his state has a holiday, Confederate Memorial Day, that has been maintained by Democratic and Republican governors and the state's majority-Democrat legislature. The state also honors the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Confederate general Robert E. Lee on the same day in January.

Barbour said he was not aware of any complaints that the holiday was offensive.

"I don't really see what to say about slavery, but anybody that thinks that you have to explain to some people that slavery is a bad thing, I think that goes without saying," Barbour said.

Mississippi's events aren't embraced by everyone.

"I think it's unfortunate that the governor is so insensitive to the atrocities made against African-Americans in this country by the former Confederate States," said Derrick Johnson, president of the Mississippi NAACP. "As governor of the state with a higher percentage of African-Americans that any other, we would hope he would be more sensitive to them."

"We have always raised out opposition to any memorial day that would raise some type of positive light on the Confederacy that broke away from the United States," Johnson said. "We consider that treason."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

While folks like Gov.Haley Barbour & Gov. Bob McDonnell glorify slave owners in their proclamations,I will be celebrating the slaves who did away with these despicable people!

I Wonder What Kind Of An Ass Beats On Stacey Dash!


Who is the imbecile that beat the beautiful Stacey Dash? The "Clueless" star says that she suffered through a nightmarish marriage in which she was berated & physically abused by her husband.Emmanuel Xuereb is the guy that she was married to for two years.

I hope that Stacey Dash finds the happiness that seems to elude her.This was the third marriage that she has dissolved.Here's more from Black Voices:

"According to the restraining order that TMZ managed to get a hold of, the pretty celeb said she was struck by Xuereb for over two years during their marriage. On one drunken binge, in particular, Dash claims that Xuereb held her down with a tight grip and threatened that she would have the worst night of her life.

The 44-year-old actress also wrote, "He has hit me in the head, face and on my body. I was able to escape. I was afraid to report to it to the police."

The document specified that Xuereb destroyed many of the couple's household possessions as well.

Dash, who is the first cousin of former CEO and co-founder of Roc-a Fella Records Damon Dash, recently had tongues wagging over her arm-in-arm public appearance with actor Jamie Foxx at the Oscars.

The Dash-Xuereb saga will continue in June when the couple is due back in court."(END OF EXCERPT)Read more here.
