On Whitney Houston


Whitney on drugs is so old. That's sad is that all the news yall got. It's sad when all the things going in the world and you wanna talk about some ones hard time in life. If it was your mother on drugs would you put her story on line. white America has too much time on their hands. And always wanna bring their own people down. We have a lot of white kids on meth no ones telling that story. so yall stop bashing Whitney everybody's doing something they not supposed to be doing like yourself! -- Un2Muzik

i think whitney never should have gotten with bobby brown he ruined her life.she was so beautiful and talented.how you go from a musical diva to a drug addict. poor bobbi christina i bet she wish these people were never her parents. they booth should be ashame of themselves. drugs kills literally. and i just cant say enough. whitney honey love yourself get rid of bobby and do another album get your shit together and tell that twisted mf to eff off. -- Anadopolis

mrs.houston needs to get it together! I understand that she didn't have teenager life but dam she is taking it to far! I feel sorry for her daughter! -- tiaunabell

I'M PRAYING FOR YOU AND THERE ARE GOING TO BETTER DAYS I'M IN PASCAGOULA I LOST EVERYTHING IN THE STORM AND I'M BLESSED TRULY GOD HAVE CHANGED SO MUCH IN MY LIFE AND WILL CHANGE YOURS TOO --Tyree810

This is in response to Bobby Brown sister Tina response on how Whitney Houston is living and her suppose to be drug binges. Well if Whitney is living like that so is Bobby because they are married and how is she (Tina) living? Is Tina living any better? Or is she trying to get into the eye of the public and make money on the expense of Whitney Houston? Well Tina your comment does not show much good character at all. Why? Because if Whitney and Bobby has such a drug problem, you should be helping them (Family) in whatever way you can, not bashing her name into the ground and trying to make money off of her in such a negative way. Well girl shame-on-you. Pray for them if you believe, if your are not going to help them in any kind of way keep your mouth shut sista. Because Jealousy kills and perhaps you are jealous. -- RevRDMoore

Instead of Tina running her mouth they should get help for Whitney, after all her brother is probably the one to blame for her condition. Whitney mother need to step in and take charge before she kill herself. -- moodybabyblue

On Cynthia McKinney

I am offended that she (Cynthia McKinney),has used Georgia tax dollars for her own pleasures, as reported by Fox news. Touched inappropriately? Hmmph. Used to be "inappropriately" meant in private place...Well, then she has just touched Georgians and taxpayers inappropriately. She was touched on her arm, yet she has touched US in the pocket where we keep our billfolds. Now THAT's inappropriate. -- SandyMrs1992

On Busta Rhymes' Gay Comment

Everybody has someone in their family who is gay BI sexual whatever. Wake up busta have of your listeners are BI sexual or gay. I dont see no hard core niggaz walking down the street saying touch it bring it. When people say they don't like BI sexual or gay people that's saying their not sure with them self. Oh by the way IM a DJ and I play for a lot clubs across the country. No more busta in my rotation. America is becoming gay any way get over it busta. have of your fans are gay! -- Un2Muzik

We may not like the life style of someone but it is not necessary to treat someone like they are not valuable or even worth your energy. The young was treated with such disrespect. We all should be mindful that people have feelings and we are our brother's keeper. e-mail from Brooklyn, NY PS Buster just lost a sale. -- My Prayer Eagle

I can not believe that middle aged monkey could even part his lips to say something like that. All he had to do was to say "thanks man" and walk away. Just plain ole ignant....I am an african american women over the age of 40 and STRAIGHT. First of all I would like all of the rappers that are past 30 to retire. At some point after, when you are rinsing the grey out of your beards and hair and have more false teeth then real ones it's time to move out of the way and let the young kids have it. If it were not for alllllll races, colors, creeds and denomination his A&& wouldnt even be BUSTA....he would probably be somewhere BUSTIN tables...he didnt mind cashing in on a percentage of the "faggots" money when he received his royalty checks. What an idiot!...hey BUSTA why dont you grow your old A*& UP!...try that!...be the middle aged man that you are...i't's not so hard. It's nothing worse than seeing an old man wearing baggy clothes, bumpin his music and smokin blunts!..Oh wait a minute yes there is a RICH old man, wearing baggy clothes, bumpin music and smokin blunts! -- SheilaEast2

Brotha if you would like to continue to make it far in this business or any business then you are going to have to re-group and gather yourself. Because treating people like that is not what's happening. So what, you do not agree with the lifestyle of the young man that touch your shoulder (I dont agree with such lifestlye either and many more, and I'm pretty sure that many did not agree with they words that came out of your mouth) but what makes you any different? Look at the way that you not only treated a supporting fan of yours but a human being. Wow brotha do I since some insecurity from you? Maybe perhaps you are not sure of yourself. Think about it because if you were then you would have not responded in such a way. Take it easy Brotha and be mindful of the things you do and say to people because the tables could turn. -- RevRMoore

WAS REALLY UPSET WHEN I READ THE QUOTE ABOUT THE COMMENT AND RUDE WAY BUSTA RHYMES TALK BACK TO A FAN OF HIS! JUST BECAUSE HE GAY. YOU KNOW WHAT! MY OPINION IS IF YOU ARE A FAMOUS SINGER OR MOVIE STAR. KNOW THAT THE PEOPLE THAT LIKE YOUR MUSIC AND LOVE YOUR MOVIES, COMES IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES, RACE, COLOR, RELIGION AND YEAH THEY ALSO HAVE SEXUAL DIFFERENT PREFERENCE! WE AS FANS LOVE YOU AND ADMIRED YOU FOR WHOM YOU ARE!!! BESIDES IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE PEOPLE OF ALL COLORS RACE SHAPES AND SIZES AS WELLTHE ONES WITH THE SEXUAL PREFERENCE THE FANS THAT BUYS YOUR CD'S , GO TO YOUR CONCERT'S , GO SEE YOUR MOVIES AND BUY THEM YOU FAMOUS PEOPLE WOULD NOT REALY BE WHO YOU ARE TODAY! SEE WE ARE ALL HUMANS BEANS WHETER WE ARE WHITE, BLACK OR YELLLOW, EVEN IF WE HAVE A SEXUAL PREFERANCE. SO I THINK WHAT BUSTA RHYMES DID WAS UNCALLED FOR AND OH SO IGNORANT! YEAH YOU FAMOUS PEOPLE KNOW THAT IN PART WE MADE YOU WHO YOU ARE SO FAMOUS AND WITH ALL THE CASH$ BECAUSE WE AS FANS GIVE YOU OUR MONEY WHEN WE BUY YOUR CD'S AND KEEP YOU ON TOP OF THE REATINGS AND CHARTS GOING TO CONCERTS AND BUYING THAT TICKET FOR THAT MOVIE TELLING THE DJ. IN THE RADIO STATION PLEASE MR: DJ CAN YOU PLAY MY FAVORITE SONG AGAING!!!! AINT THIS A BITCH! -- Mmant

was appauled to read that Busta Rymes was that disrespectful to a fan. I dont care if he or she was gay. There is no place for that type of behavior. Blacks of all people should know what being shunned by someone feels like. I am African American and a lesbian also and I am ashamed at Busta for being so narrow minded, he has no idea how many gays have purchased his music. Busta, shame on you, I expect more from you, at least you present to be intelligent. -- swood47710

On Patti LaBelle

ALWAYS A CLASS ACT. I WOULD EXPECT NOTHING LESS OR MORE FROM THIS GRAND DIVA. APOLOGY ACCEPTED. VERY HUMBLING. -- Fortson515

General Comments

For the first time I have to applaud the president because he said something intelligent. Speaking about the bill they are trying to pass to make illegal aliens felons, the prez said, "immigrants make up a large number of the population and contribute immensely to our economy. They do jobs that Americans will not do. Thumbs up to the prez. -- Menilram03

The immigration issue that is going on. I work with a lot of foreigners. Maybe they are legal or illegal, who cares they get treated better. I am an American female and I should not get treated different, in my office because I can't speak English. This is my country my home and I should not be discriminated on, because I can't speak Spanish. I would like to learn it, but why should I have to. I understand that different languages are important but why is it only Spanish? We don't have to speak Chinese or French, Arabic, Russian (Well, you get the picture). What is really going on? I feel bad being an English speaking American. -- nati3ev

ABOUT THE COMMENT SPOKEN WOULD IT BE CONSIDERED RACIST IF AOL. HAD WHITE VOICES LIKE BLACK VOICES YOU THINK ABOUT THIS HAVE NOT WE HEARD ENOUGH ABOUT THE WHITE VOICE THE MINUTE WE GET SOMETHING GOING HERE COME SOMEONE READY TO CHALLENGE IT. OUR BLACK HISTORY NEED TO BE TOLD OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL ALL OF WHITE FOLKS GET IT. THANKS TO PEOPLE LIKE OPRAH BREAKING DOWN THOSE WALLS AND HELPING US TO UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHER. -- ONE SERIOUSBLACKWOMAN

I say Thumbs up for the people in Lindale, Tx where the bus drop me and my friend off at Timberline Baptist Camp. The people there were so graceful, and caring I really cant explain them, there are no words but God sent. We were there for a month till I decided to move in the Lexington Downs Apartments, it's now called Salado Apartments where those people did'nt have no compasion for moving Katrina evacuees in the first place. They did'nt wont to work with FEMA at all to help with housing evaucuees at all. The people here are okay, but most of them really dont wont us here in Tyler. My mother died out here and she was in a Nursing home where she beg me to take her out of there and I did because she was depressed and most of the staff was treating her bad; they would keep her beding dirty, her depend wet, and the only washed there patients twice a week. I went there everyday to clean her, change her clothing and keep her company until I found her a place to live. The apartment that I was living in was a one bedroom and they did'nt allow me to put her on my lease because it was already occupied by two adults, so God mayed a way for me to rent the apartment next door. The Salado Apartments mayed me pay $1665.00 to move my mother in. They mayed me pay a 3 month in advance rent for her after explaining to them my mother have cancer she been through enough flying in a helicopter after being rescue from a falling apart building at Methodist Hospital where the hospital she was in drop her off to another hospital while me and my family of 10 were in the New Orleans Superdome going to hell. All of us some what loss some of our mind and will to live until God stepped in and lift me up to be able to lift them of by being the oldest. I'm 43 and my dearest mother died in the Salado Apartment, in Tyler,TX where like I said the people in the rental office showed no compassion because my mother died Dec. 23 2005 in the apartment and I gave them $1665.00 . She was'nt there a whole month and the took almost a whole rent because my mother did'nt write a 30 day notice for them. I told them how was that possible, if she new she was going to die, maybe she would have. Thank You for listening, Stressed in Tyler, TX God Bless the reader because I know you did'nt wont me to write all of this, but I needed to express myself so how. -- Deirdalx

Please someone please tell the latino community we had a country before them and will have one if they decide to leave. Every report I have seen lately in protest against congress someone is always making the statement this country would be nothing without us.Where are they getting this information from? -- ConyCBM

ou are very good in finding the dirt and putting down Blacks (mostly gossip) so no one else has to do it, namely the general population who would be called racists by any other name. Recognize your role, especially if you are paid well for it. You probably don't want my opinion, but I'm one who thinks it's repulsive, especially if you are not allowed to (or don't) report the same type of "news" on other groups. Black Voices is pretty sorry...my opinion. I will compliment you for something though...allowing me this forum...rare although I understand you are looking for more dirt/gossip on Blacks. But thanks anyway. -- Calan546
