Chronic Absenteeism Hurts Millions Of Students
'Toddlers & Tiaras': Damitri'ana Wears 'African' National…
Spring is almost here, which means NBA babies are going to be popping like popcorn: Gilbert Arenas is expecting a boy within a week or two, there will be a new Baby LeBron in June, and Carmelo and his fiancée, LaLa Vasquez, are expecting the arrival of their baby boy sometime next week (Update: 'Melo's and LaLa's baby is finally here!).
Oh, Boy!
These major ballers expecting stork deliveries are also fellas who don't seem to put too much credence into that old "first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Mary with a baby carriage" arrangement.
Tiny Gil, Baby 'Bron, and Little 'Melo will all be born to parents who haven't taken that bounce down the aisle.
Apparently, ring bling is highly overrated when knocking a girl up.
And that's not just baller mentality. An ABC News poll last year revealed that more than half of all Americans now think having a baby out of wedlock is morally acceptable.
So I won't harp on the lack of "I Do's," but I will suggest using an umbrella if you don't have a fat NBA wallet to weather the storm.

Hej Athmani,
It is so easy to attack the black woman, however, in your case you are speaking possibly about an uneducated black woman. You see you are looking for the wrong type of black woman. As in any other race, there are different classes of people, and it is obvious that you are socializing in the wrong class, and that's your fault!
In addition, start looking for women where you find your passion, ie., sports, arts, theatre, and music.
You also have fallen victim of what society is trying to portrait through propaganda, black women are unwed mothers, they have the highest rate of aids, they are undesirable, but do you realize how many affluent black women there are in this nation? No, you never see a black history documentary on T.v about the affluence of blacks. Start looking in the right place! L.K.

Quite simply morals have been thrown out of the window.
They find it cute and acceptable to sensationalize making babies be engaged live together but don't take vows and be right in God's eye all that is shot to shyt. SI did the article about atheletes who don't pay child support now here it is again with the exception is that contracts are bigger. These women spread their legs pimp their pu**y out and get pregnant becuase of a contracts but you never hear about them until he marries someone else or 911 was called for domestic abuse they sell themslves short just sad way to portray yoursaelf as a woman,mother, mentor.
Funny Wendy Williams told Lala to get Carmelos money is to get pregnant and now look.
