  • For Discussion: Should Black Parents Be Offended By This Black History Month Email?

    Feb, 22 2011 | Written by ATLien

    As you know, the shortest month in the year was designated as Black history month. Personally, I don’t necessarily buy into BMH because I feel that it’s our responsibility to teach our children our cultural heritage DAILY and not during one particular month.

    But who I am I… I have no kids!

    Anywhooo, I received the following email from one of my loyal readers who wants your input about an email she received from her child’s school regarding Black History Month:

    Hi ATLien

    I have a “RANT” I need to put out there in keeping with the spirit of “Black History Month”.? Here goes…My daughter who will be 16 next week attends a private “CATHOLIC” school. Of course she represents the 1% of “us” there. Regardless of that, the school is VERY prestigious and affluent and this is her first year there.

    I receive email parent bulletins at the beginning of the week. Well in reading it, they had THIS (see email below) in there. The WHOLE thing is so funny that I’ve been laughing for about an hour behind it.

    My question is, should I be offended? It has so many inconsistency’s… i.e. the graffitti (they can keep that for Taco day – IJS), hair braiding, hip-hop dance workshop DURING “club bell”…. Its just too much!

    I was hoping you could share with our fellow readers and get their take on it.

    *STILL laughing*

    Newsflash! General Larry Platt Did NOT Win a Grammy (But He’s Still Trying)… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Feb, 14 2011 | Written by ATLien

    General Larry Platt, the breakout star of the 2010 season of American Idol, was spotted out and about recently and showed me some “A” town love (peep the t-shirt!)

    Platt performed his self-written hit “Pants on the Ground” on the red carpet of the Grammy Awards in 2010 [click here if you missed it], wasn’t nominated for Song of the Year this year (imagine that) and he’s pretty much dissolved into obscurity, but not because he ain’t trying.

    Platt is still on the grind, trying to get his “Pants on the Ground” CD heard around town. The 65 year old singing sensation died an early death online in the form of fictional death reports, but rest assured he’s still alive and kickin’ and dancing and singing…

    The “General” who earned the title after a well documented history during Atlanta’s Civil Rights movement, gladly gave me a lil serenade of his hit song recently. I think he was just happy to be noticed.

    If you got a few minutes to spare, check out the video of General Larry Platt’s StraightFromTheA rendition of “Pants on the Ground” PLUS he shows that old folks can still bust a move, as he pops locks & drops it to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”.
