Hearing Justin Timberlake's 'FutureSex/LoveSounds' Listen for Free on AOL Music

Feeling A Little Like Oprah


By Karu F. Daniels, AOL Black Voices

Wondering what happened to The BV Newswire last week? 

Ummmmmmmm, so was I.

Imagine my dismay when I returned from a long overdue short break, and was basically informed that I was temporarily out of commission.

It was sort of like what happened to The Almighty O when she was on vacation last year and decided to partake in one of her favorite past-times (luxe shopping) only to be told that she will not be allowed to.

(That infamous Hermes racial controversy.)

Talk about an "N-word Wake-Up Call," to quote legendary funnyman Paul Mooney.

Well, I won't go into any specific details (to be honest, it all sounded like hogwash to me).  But it just goes to show what I have always thought: No matter how good we may  think something can be -- or how well it can actually work in doing the task at hand -- there will always be a plug pulled, a wire tripped or just plain old salt being thrown into the game.

Go figure.

I hope you didn't count me out, just yet.

Like Teddy Pendergrass shouted on "Love T.K.O.": "I've taken the bumps and the bruises of all the things of a two-time loser."  But then like Jennifer Holliday hollered on "And I Am Telling You, I'm Not Going":  "Tear down the mountains, Yell, scream and shout.  You can say what you want, I'm not walkin' out."

Okay beeyotch!!!

Now let's get back into the swing of things.
