Why Was President Obama Picture Removed From A U.S. Air Force Commissary?

Some people in Colorado just can't get that they need to respect our new president,irrespective of the color of his skin!Apparently,some customers of a U.S. Air Force commissary didn't think that it was appropriate to have President Obama's picture on a President's Day sign near the entrance.Now,they claim that this day celebrates past presidents,not the present one.Really? That sounds like a bogus ass excuse to me!These people are as transparent as folks would like our government to be!This is a case of racism.And I'm not alone in that opinion.Here's more from The Gazette:

"President Barack Obama's picture was removed this week from a Presidents Day sign at the Peterson Air Force Base commissary after customers complained that the image did not fit the holiday commemorating the birthdays of past presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

The head of the local NAACP and a commissary employee say it was blatant racism.

The picture of the first black president accompanied a sign near the entrance listing the government-run military grocery store's operating hours on for Presidents Day. The store will be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Employees took the sign down after customers complained that the holiday wasn't about the current president, according to the Defense Commissary Agency, which oversees the base grocery stores.

Rosemary Harris, president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said something more sinister was afoot.

"It bodes poorly for the progress that we hoped we would see in this country; we might have taken one step forward but we see many steps being taken backwards," she said Friday.

A cashier at the commissary who did not want her name used said pictures of past presidents, including George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, have accompanied the Presidents Day closure sign.

One customer, a military retiree, objected this year because of Obama's race, the cashier said.

"He said they're not going to have no black man on the window where he shops," the cashier said."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Rihanna's Dad Isn't The Only One Speaking Out! Chris Brown's Dad Chimes In On The Domestic Violence Incident!

Since Chris Brown & Rihanna need to stay out of the public eye right now,there relatives have issued statements regarding the incident that took place.This time,Chris Brown's dad talks about how his son is doing & feeling.Here's more from MSNBC:

"Speaking out for the first time since his son’s arrest, Chris Brown’s biological father, Clinton Brown, tells PEOPLE his son is at home, reflective and filled with concern.

“He’s reflecting on this situation,” Brown, 44, a corrections officer, tells PEOPLE in an interview at his home outside Tappahannock, Va. “He’s very remorseful. He’s very concerned about the situation and he wants to make sure that (Rihanna’s) okay.

“This is unfortunate, this stumble, this situation,” Brown continues. “Hopefully, he will get past it. We all have our shortcomings. We all trip.” And Brown — who flew to Los Angeles to attend the Grammys with his son but never made it to the show — says there are “two sides to every story.”

“If you are on his side, you are on his side,” he says. “Just because someone trips, if you are truly a fan, you are not going to demonize him instantaneously.”

The 19-year-old singer is under police investigation in Los Angeles for allegedly beating Rihanna, 20, early last Sunday morning.

Brown says he spoke to his son in person on Feb. 12. “Let’s just say he’s home,” Brown said, though he never offered a specific location. “Just know that he’s home. He needed some time to get his thoughts together and regroup.”

Calling his son a “lovable young man,” Brown says he worries about the public backlash following the allegations of assault his son faces.

“This music industry is very unforgiving when it comes to having indiscretions,” Brown says. “He will continue to be a good person. He loves people. And like most of us, most humans, things will occur. And hopefully a person won’t be judged simply on that alone.”(END OF EXCERPT)Go here to read the rest of the article.

Paternity Issues: Infamous 13-Yr. Old Father Now Has To Take A Paternity Test!

This story has been generating a lot of controversy because Alfie Patten became a father at 13!Now,he must take a paternity test to ensure that he really is the father.It seems that their is another boy claiming to be the dad.Here's more from CNN:

" A second teenager has reportedly claimed to be the father of a child born to a teenaged girl in a case which has caused an outcry in Britain.According to reports earlier this week Alfie Patten was only 12 when the baby was conceived with his girlfriend, Chantelle Steadman, 15.

The Sun tabloid newspaper reported their daughter, Maisie Roxanne, was born on Monday.

It carried photos and interviews with the pair and their child on Friday and Saturday.

Alfie told the newspaper that he thought "it would be good to have a baby."

While Chantelle said they wanted to "prove to everyone" that they could give Maisie a "great future" and that they both planned to stay in school.

However, on Sunday the Sun's sister paper, the News of the World, reported that Richard Goodsell, aged 16, was claiming he was Maisie's father.

"I know I could be the father. Everyone thinks I am. My friends all tell me that baby has my eyes -- even my mum thinks so.

"Only a DNA test is going to sort this out properly. If I am the father, I have the right to know," he told the News of the World.

The situation has provoked a wide response, with Conservative party leader David Cameron telling the British Press Association that parenthood should not be something the teenagers should even have been contemplating."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
