I was a little caught of gaurd this morning when I got the text that Bernie Mac had died. I was in the middle of breakfast and had to inform everyone at the table of this news. I brought up the fact that he died from the same disease that my aunt suffers from Sarcodosis, and the fact that African-Americans get more than any other race. We also shared our fave Bernie Mac moment. I love his character in the Player’s Club, Ocean’s 11, and Life.

R.I.P. Bernie Mac you will be missed.

Really EBONY?? I see you stepping up your cover game, kudos to your creative director and editors and snaps for LJR for bringing the swag back to EBONY. Anyway it looks as if my favorite first lady (positive thoughts only) is on the cover of the September issue of EBONY (I love me some Michelle she’s so graceful). This is sure to be a collectors issue for African American households right next to that dusty cover of Dr. King at your grandma’s house. Go get it!
