Here’s his statement that TMZ.com has posted:
“I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves.

Whitney Houston Ignored for Grammy
December 6th, 2009
How could America ignore one of the world’s greatest comebacks this year: Ms. Whitney Houston, for a Grammy?
I just want to know how she not only didn’t get a Grammy but there was no announcement of a nomination at all.
I just don’t understand it. How was she snubbed out of even one Grammy Award.
Let’s just look at Whitney for a minute. She had not made an album in 7 years and a hit album longer than that. She finally left her husband, bad boy Bobby Brown, 2 years ago. She has made a beautiful new start for her life. She took the advice of music label producer, Clive Davis and made a comeback that the world can not deny her credit for.
Why Are Black People Blaming White People For Tiger Woods Problems?
December 8th, 2009
What we do not understand is the accusations against white people for Tiger Woods troubles? We have been tuning into Al Sharpton’s radio show and have heard such malice towards white people. We cannot comprehend for one second why these callers are so outrage saying white people are doing the same thing they did to O. J. (Orenthal James Simpson). The question, is what have they done? These black people are making the same mistake they did years ago when O. J. got into trouble for murdering his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ronald Goldman. Why are white people responsible for these black men who do not even like black women? In Tiger’s case, he does not even like Asian women who represent who his mother is. And get these, most of these callers who went made yesterday, calling into Rev. Sharpton’s talk show-were black women! Isn’t crazy??? Both of those black men would not even give these black women the time of day. So, the question is, why are they raising hell?

You know I was just flipping the channel tonight and ran across the show “Two in a Half Men” and at the same time checking the news. I would have never guessed to see one of the shows leading men in top news.

Like a football player, that is the way he continues to live his life to beat each and every obstacle. Therefore, please pay very close attention to this article we have published regarding NFL legend, Mr. Ray Lewis.
Juanita Bynum II Ceases 2009 with Dedication to Women in Prison
December 30th, 2009
Dr. Juanita Bynum II ceases 2009 as she enters 2010 dedicated to women in prison. Dr., Prophetess Bynum II reveals her love and consideration for those women who are serving time for committing the worst crimes. She passes on the mantle of prayer to those women who may feel hopeless and people within society have not shown them any mercy. Dr. Bynum II really reveals her compassion to women incarcerated as it is seen on this video on her website. As we leave 2009, there are many women who have not seen a similar image of to this Godly woman within the supposedly family of God, because of their personal prejudices against those who have gone astray. We can expect men to degrade us, but when women hear harsh criticism from other women who prejudged them based on what someone else has said or their own misconception, they fail to acknowledge, they have already placed those women in a spiritual prison. Even more so, instead of powerfully empowering other women who have made mistakes in life or even those who have led unfavorable lifestyles, they proceed to emotionally damage their reputation and deviously lead a multitude of others to join their devious tactics. Dr. Juanita Bynum is one of the few African American women (in the ministry) who speaks into the souls of these women in prison and lets them know they are special, regardless of who has rejected them.

Here we are, in another decade, 2010, and it is very scary to admit, a lot of African Americans are keeping the same frame of mind, thinking that they cannot achieve anything or not smart enough, because of their racial identity. Many African Americans will miss out on success, simply because they fail to envision themselves as successul human beings who are capable to expand multi-million dollar or billion dollar ventures. They sky is the limit, but-because, African Americans listen to negativity of the average African American, they limit themselves and damage their potential future of ultimate success and absolute wealth.
Michael Baisden Disrespects Black Women
January 31st, 2010
Michael Baisden who is a popular DJ on grown folks radio and well-known for being a popular guests back in the early 90’s with his favorite forewarning for those who date, “you betta recognize” has been putting down black women for weeks and the reporters of A Toast 2 Wealth are the first to honestly give you a report about this prejudice black man. Michael Baisden now regularly puts down black women on his radio talk show and drills unmarried black women as they call into his show (why do they call and set themselves up?). He airs his ridicule nonstop while blaming black women for being single. Michael Baisden humiliates African American women and has no respect for them or even himself as a black man. Michael Baisden is an arrogant black man who forgets the actual statistics that explains why black women of the 21st century are still single. He always seems to be an educated man until he started broadcasting his interviews with single black women who have never been married and questions them as if his is superior. As a black man, what is the problem with Michael Baisden? Why does he blame black women for not ever being married? Why does he humiliate black women on his talk show? Now you see, this is why there will never be any unity among black people, because not only do you have black women who forget their hardships among themselves while bluntly and boldly disrespecting each other, you have black men like Michael Baisden who join them and degrade the dignity of black women.

Five Simple Steps Become a Rich Woman in the 21st Century

The Secret of Success for the Black Community
February 10th, 2010
The reason why the black community is yet struggling in the 21st century, as we all know, because of lack of unity. That is no secret, that is indeed, a fact. However, African Americans fail to go deeper and spiritually grow within to love God first, then themselves and then, each other. Success has always been available for African Americans, but the majority of them allow hatred to prevail and react whenever evil is in the atmosphere. Not allowing evil to reign within the atmosphere through thoughts and polite reactions is the key to successful growth within the black community. Have you ever wondered why there seems to be no growth among the majority of black people, it is simply because they have chose to focus on race and complexion, instead of focusing on God first, then depending on him to create their character, the way He desires for them to be, it is just that simple, it is very true. Are you guilty of living your life without God’s guidance? Are you guilty of following the majority of black people and believing what they say over what God says? Are you guilty of believing that being an African American is ugly and have mistreated someone, because they are black like you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, no wonder the black community is lacking success, simply because there will never be a high degree of success within the black community if the majority of black people are guilty of any of the questions above. It has been so unfair for decades to be jealous whites and Asians who are successful and blame them for the lack of the black community when the majority of our race have not done right in our own lives and among ourselves. Therefore, African Americans must confess guilt before their is change and make a change in our words, thoughts and actions.
