Atlanta, GA (ContentDesk) August 6, 2004 -- Gerard Spinks, writer of the "How To Be Rich, Nigga" book series of self-help books for black youth, accuses Bill Cosby of being way out of touch with black youth.
Gerard says "Bill Cosby is old and is a grandparent with his own issues that he has had in the past.
This is a man who was paying off someone to keep quiet with the birth of a child out of wedlock.
Who is this guy to be the moral authority for black people today?"Mr. Spinks believes that Mr.
Cosby is completely out of line and out of touch with black youth today.
He believes that Mr. Cosby is simply following the designed plan of people in the United States who are against black youth.
Mr. Spinks goes on to say "To be against young black youth who are the doormat in this society makes absolutely no sense.
Just because a kid has their jeans on sag and has a different style from white kids, you criticize them?
Mr. Cosby should get his black ghetto pass revoked and be removed from ever being able to go into the inner cities.
He is unwelcomed."
Gerard Spinks is a CEO of a high technology systems integration firm, writer of the acclaimed "How To Be Rich, Nigga" book series, athlete, and serial entrepreneur.
Mr. Spinks supports all black youth regardless of what anyone says or how people dress.
He believes that Mr. Cosby is simply taking sides with the people who support him the most - the white conservatives who support him financially.
Mr. Spinks believes that black youth need support so that their only opportunities are NOT to go to war in Iraq and fight Bush's war.
Mr.
Spinks believes that black youth will always be highly criticized because this country believes in making us the reason for all of societal ills. Mr. Spinks says "People accuse young black men for everything that's wrong with America.
People accuse us of robbing, stealing, creating HIV/AIDS, having the highest mortality rates, and being in jail the most.
I am absolutely tired of house negroes such as Bill Cosby agreeing with the conservative white establishment.
Cosby just needs to stop accusing people and take care of his own life and his own family matters.
We don't need you Mr. Cosby and your ghetto pass is hereby revoked.
I encourage all black people to read "How To Be Rich, Nigga" to free themselves from the chains of economic slavery that still exists today.".
PJ Clarke's Packed for 120th Birthday Celebration
A ship's Captain who has been coming to PJ Clarke's for 60 years; an elderly couple from cross-town who had never been before; a thirty'ish couple, he in jeans and a blazer, she in a T Shirt and stiletto heels; a father guiding his two sons, one six with a crew cut, the other 12 wearing spiked hair, into PJ's for the first time; all came to Midtown Manhattan's East Side last Sunday to join in PJ Clarke's 120th birthday celebration. From the moment the dining room doors opened at 11:30 AM until the kitchen closed at 3:00 AM, burgers were the menu item of choice. Thousands were served along with Guinness, single malt and an occasional Coca Cola as PJ Clarke's, America's quintessential saloon, celebrated its founding in 1884 by an Englishman named "Jennings." Frank Sinatra sang Johnny Mercer's "One For My Baby" from the jukebox as the Terrier watched down on the festivities from atop the bathroom. Rocky Graciano's bigger than life smile played against the illustration on the Egyptian Cigarette...

Men's Jeans
Ask any man about his favorite piece of attire and be prepared to hear him speak fondly of the pair of jeans that he has been wearing for so long and still hates to get out of it. The degree of attachment is so great that a wearer would obstinately refuse to part with his jeans until they become tattered and frayed.
Such is the versatility of jeans that they can be worn on many different occasions, which is why they occupy a prominent place every man's wardrobe. Men consider jeans a unique blend of comfort and style. Whether it's a party or a date, a pair of jeans will not only make a guy look cool, but also make him feel at ease.
One more reason for jeans being the number-one choice of clothing for men is the fact that they complement all kinds of footwear, be it sports shoes, boots or sneakers. And a pair of jeans would go with any kind of shirt or T-shirt.
Men's jeans have their own fashion trends; the designs are hot and they are changing...
