Dear black women, we urge you to be careful when you are driving in your car, whether at work or just in your leisure time. This faithful hardworking police officer, Gail Thomas, 46, was struck and killed by an alleged drunk driver Tuesday night by a 22-year-old drunk driver. We encourage you to pray before you leave the house in your vehicle, anytime of the day or night. These drunk drivers never stop getting behind the wheel of a car without thinking they are endangering lives. We are very angry, because this is among thousands of other cases that has occurred for many years and when these drunk drivers are convicted, they only receive man slaughter.

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Ministered To Boy With Gay Feelings in Ebony Mag’s 1958 Advice Column
Can you imagine Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. addressing a boy about how he should deal with his same sex feelings in the 1950′s? It makes you realize that things were not all so different then from today.
We were so thrilled to read the article posted on CNN’s Belief Blog this week. It provided information that may prove the ongoing debate whether Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would have supported gay rights in America.
Update, Video: Could Woman’s Body Found In SW Atlanta Be Stacey English?
January 24th, 2012
AT2W Staff When are the deaths of missing black women going to stop? It seems like as soon as there is news coverage, involving a missing black woman, then eventually a body or more is found, sometimes not long afterwards. This time, police suspect this could be the end of their search for a missing Atlanta woman, Stacey English. However, since the body is so badly decomposed, all they can tell is that she appears to be a woman who was African American. Although, this may bring an end to searching for Stacey English, it does not bring closure to how she could have been murdered.
Black Women Love Your Kids More: Drunk Calif. Mom Left Children Outside In Cold At McDonald’s
January 22nd, 2012
AT2W Staff Dear sisters, when we saw this report, we could not understand why any mother would leave their children out in the cold. Let us remind you, many white supremacists are waiting for black mothers to mess up and will be so quick to turn one in, when they see them even disciplining their child out in public. White supremacists love to see black mothers mess up or even make mistakes with their children. You may ask, how do we know this cop who took the kids into his police car and arrested this drunk mother could be a racist? Simply because, in the Sacramento/Stockton, California, there is a long history of white supremacy and many of the African Americans whom live there are vulnerable to be their puppets, they easily turn on other blacks to receive more attention from the white supremacists. This is something that has been going on since the 1980′s and possibly earlier in previous years.
Has The Black Church Got Rid of Their Concern for Black Women?
January 21st, 2012
AT2W Staff One of the most important issues in many of today’s mega churches is hushed among many African Americans whom worship. Has the black church got rid of their concern for black women, is a very important subject, because even in many diverse congregations, black women are struggling the most. Many pastors have focused on broadening their ministries into a mega one and while doing so, their sermons have not done enough to elevate black women. We are not speaking of all ministries, but some of them that are now corporate have placed the welfare of many black women as a less concern. Over the years, although black pastors have became wealthy by growing mega ministries, oppression has not been absent within the black community. The black church was always the foundation of the black community, but if it no longer bothers to uplift black women whom are yet struggling as single women with or without kids, divorced women and even widows, then how God continue to bless it?

Rev. Jesse Jackson’s Former Mistress Sues Him for $12K in Back Child Support
We are so disheartened by the continual scandal that follows this man. We are not trying to judge but things are coming to haunt men because in the early days he alleged lived a double life. The bad part about it all is he didn’t just damage his image as a political leader but more importantly his image as a man of God. Like many ministers/civil rights leaders, Jackson needed to know that all of his indiscretions would be laid in front of the church and the people he promised to serve.

Bernice King Now Named King Center CEO
UPDATE on Jan. 17th: News reports have stated on Tuesday, just one day after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, that his eldest son Martin Luther King III is stepping down from his position as president. King III was serving as president as well as CEO for the King Center until a replacement would be appointed. Only six days prior to the holiday, was daughter Bernice King named as CEO. While one King steps up and another steps down, it sounds very eery but nothing is very strange about The King Family.
