Panache Report

After weeks of speculation, rookie quarterback Geno Smith announced Wednesday that he has hired Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports to represent him. Smith, who created national headlines when he fired his original agents after falling out of the first round in last month's draft, hinted that the marketing appeal of Roc Nation Sports was a factor in his decision. Four decades removed from Broadway Joe, the New York Jets have Madison Avenue Geno. "When you talk about being in New York from a standpoint of what they can do in the city, the connections that they have, I think it's a good move," said Smith, claiming Jay-Z's presence wasn't the overriding reason for his selection.

The phrases "Janet Jackson billionaire” is quite an unexpected one. The youngest performing member of the Jackson clan has apparently reached the coveted eight-figure net worth. But wait, we’ve barely heard a peep from Jackson’s camp over the past five years, what happened? Well, apparently it was in fact her super successful albums and tours that got her through the doors. Think back. Way way back. Like the 90s. Albums like Control (1986), Janet (1993) and Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989), as well as $81 million off music and publishing fees is what landed Janet in the billionaire’s club this year. And, of course, there are the movie roles-her roles in "The Nutty Professor, The Klumps," "Poetic Justice," and "For Colored Girls," has banked her a whopping $304 million. In my opinion, the numbers don't add up and I think the numbers are inflated and a publicist was hired to release this "fake" press release.

A day after late Notorious B.I.G.'s birthday, new reports claim his teenage daughter has launched a clothing line in his memory called "Notoriouss." According to reports, the gear is officially on the market with some featuring guns on the front. 19-year-old T'yanna Wallace has officially hit the market with "Notoriouss" -- a line of shirts and other fashion items. One interesting point -- one of the t-shirt designs has imagery of guns on the front -- an odd choice considering the manner in which Wallace died back in 1997.

Will Smith says he and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith treat their young children Jaden, 14 and Willow, 12, like adults. ''My style of parenting is very similar to that of my parents, minus the concept of ownership. I think that, specifically in African American households, the idea coming out of slavery, there's a concept of your children being property and that was a major part that Jada and I released with our kids. ''We respect our children the way we would respect any other person. Things like cleaning up their room. You would never tell a full-grown adult to clean their room, so we don't tell our kids to clean their rooms.

The feud between Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods finally had its first apology on Tuesday evening. Unfortunately, the war of words between the rival golfers had to get particularly ugly before it was made.

While attending the European Tour's Players’ Awards dinner in London on Tuesday evening, Garcia turned to a racial stereotype about African-Americans while apparently attempting to make a joke about his contentious relationship with Woods.

Garcia made the offensive remark when jokingly asked by the event's emcee, Steve Sands of The Golf Channel, if he would be inviting Woods over for dinner during the upcoming U.S. Open.

"We will have him round every night," García responded, "We will serve fried chicken."

According to the Daily Mail, some guests were stunned by the racist quip and an unnamed player described simply as "one leading Tour professional," remarked to a journalist "You didn’t hear that."

Of course, Ewan Murray of The Guardian did hear it. The Garcia-Sands exchange quickly was picked up by various media outlets, including Sands' Golf Channel and ESPN. A short while later, Garcia issued an half hearted apology.

This comment sums up my thoughts on Sergio Garcia's ignorance: "We have been witnessing publicly every day, for the past 5 years, how the success of a member of a minority group can bring out the worst in people who grew up being part of a majority, feeling somehow that they are superior to the members of the minority group. It is usually that feeling of unfounded superiority that brings out the dormant racism. Many times, its the most privileged who somehow feel threatened by the success of the "inferior." That's why so many white Republicans feel that way about Obama and why Sergio Garcia (who is also a minority) and Fuzzy Zoeller made such offensive comments in regards to Tiger Woods."

I have been married for a year and I am at my wit’s end. My investment banker husband is from a White old money family. I am a first generation Black-American woman whose family is from the island of Jamaica. We met at a reunion for the Ivy League school we both attended, and he proposed in six months.

We have the picture perfect fantasy life. He wines and dines me and we travel and shop the globe. Unlike all of the Black men I dated in the past, my husband is generous, loyal, committed and considerate. He courted me and I never have to pay for anything. He said I could quit my job and I did. He makes me feel like a woman.

I am a little embarrassed to share our problem. The first time he let the n-word drop was during sex on our honeymoon. When I reacted negatively, he explained that a Black woman he dated in the past enjoyed being called racial slurs. Another time he joked that he had purchased my freedom. He also speculated about whether his family could have owned mine because I have “good hair.” Then he made jokes about my pubic hair. He called it my “negro bush” and referred to himself as a “nigger lover.” He says I am being overly sensitive because he loves me to death and should get a “Black pass” for marrying me.

I told him that I don’t appreciate these comments and he says that my friends and family probably use the n-word all the time. He also asked why Black people could use the word and he could not. I don’t use the word or believe in the nigga/nigger differentiation. Neither does my family. I am too embarrassed to tell anyone about this because I know they might say, “That’s what she gets for marrying a White man.”

Every time we try having sex again, the slurs fly. Our sex life is pretty much over right now because I pretend to be asleep every time my sexy, handsome man wants to be with me. I feel completely turned off. I love my husband deeply so please don’t tell me to leave him because that’s not what I want to do.

My husband was my first interracial relationship. Please tell me racial slurs aren’t normal between interracial couples? I would like to figure this out before we have kids but I can’t afford to leave him and still maintain my lifestyle.

There is nothing about this situation that is okay. Of course you’re turned off. The biggest sex organ for us as women is between our ears. Unlike men, if we’re turned off outside the bedroom we will usually be turned off in the boudoir as well.

So, you’re worried about maintaining your lifestyle?! Sis, let’s talk about maintaining your sense of self.

First of all, you are not being overly sensitive and it is condescending for your husband to say that while he’s calling you racist names. There is nothing normal about being called out of your name in any relationship.

Second of all, queen, your husband needs a history lesson and you need counseling. His comments are verbally abusive and emotionally harmful. I agree that this issue needs to be addressed before you bring children into the picture.

There are no “Black passes.” When our White friends ask why they can’t use the n-word, I always wonder why they would even want to. Even though your husband’s ”last Black girlfriend loved it,” he should respect your choices. Black people are not a monolith. In addition, no one should ever compare a partner to an ex.

This man is betraying you and you are not honoring yourself. This is not a judgment of his ex-girlfriend. Anything that two consenting adults agree to sexually is their business. Bold African-American sex educator Mollena Williams, who describes herself as “the perverted negress” and a “slave” on her Twitter page, is an expert on “race play.” She teaches that “for those who are drawn to explore deeper and deeper crevasses of our psyche, the desire to explore that taboo can be compelling.” However, this is not what you signed up for or something you sound even remotely interested in.

Your husband’s behavior and your acceptance of it have eroded the intimacy between you. The foundation of love is trust and a feeling of security. There is no way to feel safe while being reminded of the subjugation of your ancestors during vulnerable moments when you have clearly asked him to stop. The fact that you have expressed your dislike and that your husband persists is hateful and troubling.

Don’t let his hate speech drown out your inner wisdom. I understand that you feel ashamed but keeping this secret is only deepening your trauma. Confide in someone. Shine a healing light on this situation so that you are not isolated and feeling trapped and alone.

Reality check: I know that you don’t want to leave your husband. It’s a beautiful thing that you are taking your vows seriously. He, however, is not. He is not loving, honoring nor cherishing you. If traveling the globe playing “Real Housewife of the Big House” while he drops n-bombs is not your idea of fun then you need to ask yourself some serious questions.

Your sex life will not improve unless your man changes his behavior and you feel heard. So, can his behavior be changed? Write this down: The only man you can change is one wearing diapers. Abusers have to want to change themselves. Hubbie has to first realize the depths of what he is doing wrong. It doesn’t sound like he does.

In addition, you may want to examine your own racial attitudes. I am sorry that you had challenging experiences with your previous partners. However, when we lump all Black men together as cheap or disloyal we may as well be calling them the n-word ourselves.

If you stay with your man for money while he is speaking down to you, then I’m afraid you have personally sold yourself at an auction to the highest bidder. It’s time for a self-esteem check, doll face. You deserve better. Counseling will give you tools to determine your relationship’s future. For your friends and family, the problem is not that you are in an interracial relationship. The issue is that your husband is a cold and classless bigot, bully and boor. Jerks come in all colors.

*ADVISORY – This article includes information that may be undesirable, uncomfortable & upset some audiences. I had second thoughts about running this story but it's my job to inform you. This may be the most disturbing story ever featured on this site.

This story comes from a village in the Khashrood district of Nimruz province in Afghanistan.

A medical doctor assigned in the main hospital in Zaranj city, the capital of the province, who wished to remain unnamed confirmed that he was “made aware” of the incident and that it was “too late to do anything for her” as well the “remote area didn’t allow them to do anything."

The 8-year-old girl was one of the several daughters of a man in his late 30s. For an unknown reason he gave his daughter to the Mullah of their village for a big amount of money. It is also common in Afghanistan’s rural areas or 3rd level provinces/cities to marry young girls to old men, and trading their daughters for their debts or other items.

The mullah is in his late 50s and is the mosque guy of the village where this incident happened.

The two families hold a tribal meeting, agree on the price that the groom’s family pay to the 8-year-old bride’s family, and they set a date for wedding.

In rural areas like this here there are no engagements or any ceremonies beforehand like there are some in the metropolitan and urban areas.

The two families planned a wedding party, the wedding and Nekah (The religious process in which a woman is officially married to a man) took place and the 8-years-old bride became the 50-years-old 2nd wife.

The celebration party over, it was time to have sex (not make love) with the 8-year-old bride.

The girl was just 8 years old and everybody understands the fact that she knows nothing about sex or wedding or making love or virginity or sexual related topics; not even at a basic level for two reasons, one being that she’s just a child – not even a teenager and that in that part of the country, nobody knows anything about these things nor are they given trainings or education about a healthy sexual life.

The mullah takes off the bride’s clothes as well as his owns and eagerly approaches her for sex.
The Mullah who is heavily endowed tried desperately to penetrate the child with no success.

He failed because the 8-years-old girl was physically quiet thin and had a very immature body.

This 50 year old man, himself a father to many children, then used a sharp knife to TEAR THE CHILD’S VAGINA from the clitoris upward and downwards towards her anus in order to make her big enough to accommodate him.

Gravely injured and in agonizing pain, the child started bleeding heavily, but the mullah was filled with too much rage at his pent up lust to feel any empathy.

The mullah stuffed a scarf into her mouth to muffle her crying in order not to raise alarm because there were others in the room adjacent.

It was in this state that this 50 year old man forced his penis into the girl’s severely bleeding vagina and had sexual intercourse with her on a blood-covered bed, and then got up and cleaned himself with a cloth.

The girl was left bleeding with nobody to help her. The Mullah could not ask for help either as it would draw attention to the inhuman thing he had just done to the girl and the girl’s family (who were sitting over a cup of tea in the other room) would kill him.

The child-bride bled heavily and went into shock before dying in the early hours of the morning.

According to the Mullah, she was pale and her eyes were open when she died. The bed, as he described, was all red with her blood and she was lying in her blood only. No cloth beneath her was recognizable and everything was in dried blood because a whole night had passed on the blood.

She was pale because she had lost all her body’s blood. Her eyes were open as she was shivering when she died and her hands were tied in a praying position, saying her death time prayer.

The Mullah called in a family friend to help clean up the mess and prepare a reason for her death. Because the man was a close friend or family of the mullah, he did what he could, removing every piece of cloth that was bloody.

They wrapped her in a piece of white cloth and informed the others that she had passed away.

That morning her family mourned her death without seeking any explanation for her death, and then took her to wash her body as required before burial.

Due to the Mullah’s great influence in the village, none of the women who washed the girl’s body dared to ask or seek the reason for the wounds around her vagina.

James was Daddy's favorite. When Daddy came home from long periods as a truck driver, he looked for his favorite son James. He would hug him and sit him on his lap and talk kindly to him. Being the favorite meant that James received an extra dose of conflict from his brothers once Daddy's back was turned.

Randy and I would destroy the toys Daddy would bring for James (only). We'd then laugh as James cried over his broken toys.

Bobby was the one James really had to worry about. He felt James had stolen something from him. He reasoned that he should've held that special place in Daddy's heart that James occupied. Bobby believed that special attention James received rightfully belonged to the oldest son, and if he couldn't get it, then he'd get revenge.

Daddy never displayed any affection for Bobby or any of the other kids with the exception of James. Bobby burned with noticeable envy when it came to James, and he picked on him endlessly because of it.

I was on my way home one day and discovered Bobby with his foot raised high to stomp on James' head. His coldness had advanced to a point that had me in awe. Seeing my little brother laying helpless on the porch at the foot of Bobby's pride drove me from a paralyzed state of fear into action.

I shouted out Bobby's name with a voice that sounded rather manly and rushed towards him with my mind made up that I would kill him with my own hands if I had to. I grabbed Bobby by his shoulders and slammed him against the house. At that moment, I forgot I had ever feared Bobby as the big brother. He was astonished by my sudden defiance towards him in defense of James. He thought I agreed with his hatred. I had never felt towards James what Bobby did, and I should've told him that all along. I simply hadn't been bold enough to state my disagreement. With tears in my eyes, I told him that day to lay off James.
