Your show brought tears to my eyes, especially the ending. It was a perfect depiction of the Love childhood friends can share to help their families understand the impact rejection has on every aspect of their lives. Thank you for saying so beautifully what one of my dearest friends in the world could not say to us before he left this earth. LOVE conquers All.

OK NOW TO THE BITZ THIS WEEK
The defending champions Golden State Warriors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 104-89 in Game 1 of the NBA Finals Thursday on the backs of their bench players.
Shaun Livingston, their backup point guard had 20 points on eight of 10 shooting. Andre Iguodala, the Finals MVP from a year ago had 12 points, seven rebounds and six assists (and a ball strike lol) Leandro Barbosa, had 11 points in just 10 minutes. In all, the bench outscored Cleveland's 45-10.
As for the headliners? Curry and fellow Splash Brother Klay Thompson had 20 points – combined.
The highlight of the game was when Cavs Matthew Dellavedova hit Igoudala in the groin... ... and things got heated. Cleveland Cavaliers backup guardMatthew Dellavedova said he was just trying to grab Andre Iguodala ’s arm when instead he hit him in the crotch.
Referees reviewed the play and ruled it a common foul.
"I don’t really know they reviewed it. I was just stopping the break. We only had three teams fouls so we weren’t in the bonus,” Dellavedova said.
We think it was an accident, but one of my WORDZ TO THE WHYZ is why was there conctant replay of the ball strike???

Rapper and entrepreneur Snoop Dogg took a hard shot at The History Channel’s remake of “Roots” this week, essentially urging black people to boycott the series because he’s “sick of” seeing tales of slavery that show misery and oppression, and urged them to “create our own shit based on today, how we live and how we inspire people today.”
On Wednesday morning’s News One Now, host and award-winning journalist Roland Martin took Snoop deep over his comments, throwing a dizzying flurry of shots at Snoop for everything from Soul Plane to his numerous pornography producer credits, while also making the point that there isn’t exactly a glut of slavery movies, especially as compared to Holocaust films. He concluded the rant with a challenge for the hip-hop icon:
Why don’t you stop smoking weed, and actually bother to call Will Packer or Ava DuVernay, or call Spike Lee or the countless African Americans who are out there who are trying to make those films, and are looking for folks like you who are gon’ put their money where their mouth is, as opposed to the money on some good weed. All I’m saying is this: we need all stories being told, and if more Americans can own up to the history of America, 397 years that we’ve been here, and how brutal slavery was, we should see that. Because just like Jews say, never forget. Snoop, we will never forget, so now, the ball is in your court. Let’s see what you gon’ do. Fo shizzle, my nizzle.
Snoop respondednoop wasn’t going to let this one go, so he posted this video on Instagram with the caption: “I’m rollin.”
This was Roland's drop the mic moment. He went in hard on Snoop and we agree with him. The clap back that Snoop posted was a WAH WAH WAH. True, there is a slew of slavery movies, but its part of American history. And it needs to be told. Yet, there is room for many stories from the Black Diaspora it just that either they are not greenlit by mainstream Hollywood or they dont fit the cookie cutter formula of a serious Black movie. So the solution is independent filmmaking and people supporting them with their dollars.
Singer/ talk show host Tamar Braxton opened up about being let go from the day time talk show on the Steve Harvey Morning Show this week.
Tamar explained her husband Vince called producers to discuss “glam for Essence Festival,” when he was informed Tamar had been fired.
“Oh I’ve been meaning to call you,” Tamar said a producer told Vince over the phone. “We’re not going to have her back for the panel,” they said.
Tamar said she was in her glam room when the call took place and came out to visually disturbed Vince.
“He just looked distraught and confused,” she explained. “He was just like, I think you got fired.”
Tamar was shocked. “My heart sunk into my shoes. I pretty much fell over. I loved going to work.”
Tamar says she wasn’t given a reason why she was let go. Steve Harvey asked if there was any controversy leading up to the event.
“God, no.” she responded. “You know when you love your job? There are no issues. You’re not complaining about much. You’re not fighting with anybody. Me and the girls got along, so I thought. We were on hiatus for about three weeks. For this to come out of the blue was just astonishing.”
While Tamar says there were no negotiation issues, nor was she a headache on set, fans aren’t necessarily buying her story.
Tamar may be done with “The Real,” but Steve signed her to his production company.
Smart move on Steve's part. Tamar is a hot commodity now and we predicted that she will likely get her own talk show,.

WORDZ TO THE WHYZ
Why were authorities trying to press charges on the mother of the boy who fell in that gorilla pit? Why are there memes of that gorilla Harambee's funeral and his side pieces? Why did that UCLA student have a shooting list to shoot professors who gave him bad grade of his exams? Why is Wendys automating thousands of cashier jobs? Why is Stacy Dash now saying that transgenders should use the restrooms in the bushes? And why do some people have loud conversations in public on their cell phones then look around to see if anyone is watching them?
