I’ve never heard of this foundation, and need to check it out. Thanks for the post, Sandra.
There goes Terry McMillan with that “salty look” on her face. Oh and why did the sit her next to Snoop!
This campaign seems great, when are they going to promote it?
Well I’m glad you did this post because I have not heard of this anywhere else. It sounds like a worthy cause. Isn’t it funny how John Amos’ cul-de-sac has remained the same all these years? As a matter of fact he looks the same. Did you know that although he played the father of JJ, they are actually the same age?
Oh yeah, Terry better watch out for Snoops scandalous a$$. She likes to turn out straight women rather than date gay women. Never mind. I’m sure she wasn’t talking about 50 year old women when she said that.
Is that a wedding band I see on Snoops finger
ATLien: that does look like a wedding band. but, everytime i look at her she reminds me of my lil boy cousin frankie..jeez!
Snoop really looks like your lil boy cousin Frankie and I don’t even need to know him since she looks like a boy!
I’m not even drop any comment on her sexual preferences that’s not my business but I really don’t understand why some lesbians need to act and dress like men. Really can someone help me on this one? I just don’t get it!
Thanks for the post Sandra. This sounds like a very worthy cause. Now I have to admit that the first picture through me off at first, because I couldn’t figure out why these particular people would be sharing a stage, but after reading the post I think it’s a beautiful Unity pic. Shows solidarity on this issue, and let’s people know that they are not alone.
For those of you who are still unclear about what the foundations purpose is, here is there mission statement.
MISSION STATEMENT
This campaign seeks to provide a support network inviting an open dialogue about emotional distress.
Minnie Says: she actually does. what ever people do is their business however, she just needs to clean up a little. she never looks polished. maybe that’s just her look….do you! but, sandra i would love to get more info regarding the foundation. never heard of it before.
Minnie,
I think Snoop feels like a boy so she dresses like a boy. She’s such a heterosexual boy that she is technically a virgin and as I stated earlier she likes to date straight women. I truly believe some people were just born the wrong sex and she is one of them
I meant to say she is a homophobic boy not heterosexual boy. I learned all this from her Wendy Williams interview which was very enlightening. I thought I knew everything about gay folks having grown up with them my whole life but she taught me something new.
Wow this seems like a good cause & Im glad to see alot of big names come out to support it!! That does look like a wedding band Snoop has on (?? scratching my head) not sure what that is about but I guess to each is own!! look at how good James looks though wow he must really be taking care of himself he looks better than JJ!!!
Oooh I want to caption these pics so bad:
Pic 1:
Terry:
If she even breathes on me, I’m going in her mouth.
Snoop:
Man, I ain’t even thinkin bout yo’ old ass. Sit back so I can see.
John:
If these heffa’s break out fightin’ I’m headin for the door.
Pic #2:
Monique: I wish one of these broads would start some S H I T, I’m on it, believe that!
Dude: Hmm interesting, I’ve been saying that all along.
Home boy sitting next to monique is a cutie…He’s acts so well on the “Wire”
Look at my sexy girl “Snoop.” I love tht girl! #14, you are talking about “Marlo”, he was a king pin on the Wire. Avon and Marlo were the shhhhhh.
So snoop is a chick? I thought she was a dude. I guess she really wants to be a man huh? These lesbians kill me looking like straight dudes but then they swear they don’t want to be a man! Miss me with the whole silly lesbian sh*t!
ok, i thought Monique had gasritc bypass? so many ppl lie its a damn shame. miss jones fat AZZ is a liar from hot 97. ne way i have that dress monique have on. and when i 1st saw snoop i thought it was a guy also, she sounds like a guy too.
it’s always nice to see stars involved in good causes i applaud them . i never knew about this foundation.
bird i didn’t know jimmy walker was the same age as john amos. man jimmy looks older than john does. lol
Minnie Says:
…I really don’t understand why some lesbians need to act and dress like men. Really can someone help me on this one? I just don’t get it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t get it either. It’s a mystery to me why lesbians want to adopt the identity of our oppressors. That whole thug/butch look is a total turn off to me.
Snoop hel l of looks like Ruby Dee, that could be her grandmother.
LMAO @ Prynsexxx!
“Why did they sit Terry next to Snoop?” ha ha ha…
Interesting, I hope this gets off the ground running. I hope it doesn’t fall by the wayside like all of the other programs.
Why does Monique look a bit constipated?
All I can think of when I see John “James” Amos is Florida, Thelma and J.J. Evans.
I think of “Roots” when I see John Amos…
Jimmie Walker was born in 1947 and John Amos was born in 1939, so they are NOT the same age; but there is only an eight year age difference between the two. Can’t believe everything you read on a gossip column thread. Y’all don’t even have to believe me, but doing a little checking and research never hurt anyone.
Never heard of the foundation until I read it here. Thanks for posting information on the foundation Sandra.
