Pneumonia: Chuck Brown's Condition, Explained
James O'Keefe Fails Again
Anyone who recalls the days when she was down on '21 Jump Street,' solving minor youth-based crimes with the likes of Johnny Depp and Richard Grieco (whatever happened to that guy?) will remember one thing about Holly Robinson Peete.
Her timeless beauty.
Even back when she was playing a slightly gawky teenager, Peete had glowing skin, a slender physique, and oddles and oodles of gorgeous curly hair. And decades later, not much has changed.
Peete got off 'Jump Street' eons ago and moved on to a career as an author, activist and philanthropist. Her HollyRod Foundation offers help and hope for those who are dealing with diseases and disorders that diminish the quality of life. HollyRod4Kids is an offshoot organization that raises funds for kids with autism - a disorder that Holly Robinson Peete knows much about, as her eldest son has been diagnosed with it.
Holly recently came a close second to Brett Michaels in Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice, but to fans who have grown up watching her -- she remains number one.
Because of her charm, grace and ceaseless efforts to do good, she has been selected by the Professional Beauty Association (PBA) as the 2010 PBA Beautiful Humanitarian Award recipient. On June 18th, Peete was presented with this esteemed award at the 21st annual North American Hairstyling Awards in Las Vegas. Not too shabby!
Congrats to Holly Robinson Peete!

Congrats, to a wonderful and beautiful human being. I had the pleasure to meet her and she took the time to come up to me and my family and greeted us and picked up my little daughter and held her as if she was her own as we talked. We then took a picture of all of us.
I have had the pleasure to meet many celebs and Ms Robinson, by far, was the most "real" of them all.
It's people like her that truly change the world..
Thanks...
C.

YOU'VE READ ABOUT HER!! NOW LET ONE OF "OUR BLACK POETS" TELL YOU WHO AND WHAT SHE IS/WHERE SHE'S FROM. "MOULD ME A FACE IN GLEAMING BRONZE, A RARE ONE; "MOBLIE", "SENSITIVE", "STRONG". "FEMALE" AND "GENTLE" WITH FULL LIPS AND CLASSICAL AFRIKAN FEATURE: NOSRILS CHISELED FROM YORUBA FORMS. PLACE ABOVE IT A CROWN OF CORNROWED HAIR; ADORN THE EARS WITH BRIGHT, GOLDEN RINGS; PLACE GENTLE, PLACID EYES LARGE BENEATH ARCHING BROWS; A GLOWING SMILE USUALLY LIGHTING UP THIS FACE. A BEAUTIFUL, AFRICAN WOMAN, SMILING-OR DREAMY-EYED, LOST IN PRESCIOUS THOUGHTS. BATHE HER IN THE VERMILLION LIGHT OF A GLOWING SUNSET, SHIFTING ITS COLORS TO CANARY HORIZONS BENEATH TANGERINE SKIES. SHE IS WALKING AT SUNSET, IN AUTUMN, BATHED IN THE DAY'S DYING BRILLIANCE. A TALL, RADIANT BEAUTY ADORNED WITH KINTE ROBES ABOVE SANDALED FEET. THOUGH OUR SETTING IS "NOT AFRIKA", BUT "NORTH AMERICA". SHE IS THE "SEED" OF THE "LOST TRIBES IN DIASPORA", WHO "FORMED" A "NATION IN THE U.S. SOUTHLAND". "THIS TALL, BEAUTIFUL WOMAN WALKING IN AUTUMN IS A LIVING MIRACLE": A "TESTAMENT" OF A RACE'S DRIVE FOR SURVIVAL. SHE IS "INTELLIGENT", "ARTISTIC", "LOVELY". SHE IS "MODERN", "DEDICATED" TO "HER PEOPLES FREEDOM"; "EDUCATED TO KNOW" THAT IT IS A BITTER PROTRACTED(PROLONGED OR CONTINUE IN TIME OR SPACE) STRUGGLE, "LASTING CENTURIES". SHE IS "DETERMINED" THAT "HER CHILDREN" "WILL DRINK FROM THE COOLING WATERS OF THAT FREEDOM", AND IS "SACRIFICING" TO MAKE THAT "DREAM A REALITY". SHE IS "BUILDING INSTITUTIONS", "ORGANIZING", "EDUCATING", "DEMONSTRATING", "BY EXAMPLE", HOW A "BLACK WOMAN" "SHOULD" CONDUCT HER LIFE IN THIS AGE OF THE U.S. EMPIRE FALLING. SHE IS "GIVING HER ALL"--"HER LIFE", "HONOR", "ENERGY", ABOVE ALL, "UNDYING LOVE"--TO MAKE THIS "BLACK FREEDOM" BLOSSEM IN THE WEST.

FROM THE PYRIMIDS TO THE PROJECTS; FROM THE PROJECTS TO THE STARS SHE WILL ALWAYS BE MINE--OOPS, I MEAN YOURS TO BROTHERS. PEACE!!! GET PLENTY OF WATER AND SLEEP!!! DROP THE FAT AND THE "YOU KNOW" AND THE "THAT THEIR" TOO.

This young woman has more grace and class in her little fingernail than most women in their entire body. Just listen when she speaks...grace and class. An excellent example for women today and especially our youth.

HAIL!!! ALMIGHTY GOD!!! ABBA!!! ALLAH!!! GREAT SPIRIT!!! WE STRUGGLGE TO NAME THEE!!! HAIL FROM ONE OF YOURS OF THE STAR!!! HAIL!!! ---------THIS GOD DRIVEN AND BLESSED AND SENT BLACK WOMAN WE'RE READING ABOUT BUT MOREOVER GOD LET ME REMEMBER SOMETHING IMPORTANT BY WAY OF HER LAST NAME---"PETE"---AS I REMEMBER "STAR NFL QUARTERBACK "RODNEY PETE". THIS BLACK MAN WENT THROUGH MUCH TRIAL, HELL AND ATTEMPTED HUMILIATION BY THE WHITE MAN TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT HE DID, BUT OUR "SRTIKE AIR CRAFT CARRIER-- DOUG WILLIAMS' HELPED ALOT. AND HOW SHOULD A BLACK MAN REWARD HIMSELF? OF COURSE WITH A "BLACK WOMAN" HE DECIDED TO "PETE" NAMED "HOLLY ROBINSON"(DAMN THIS BLACK WOMAN'S FINE AND HER BRAINS AND LOVE FOR GOD---). OF COURSE SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WANTED IN A "BLACK MAN"; WHAT A WHITE MAN WOULD CALL AN IMPOSSIBILITY. A BROTHER, MR. RODNEY PETE: ALONG WITH "1,822,500" OTHER MIRICLES CALLED "BLACK COLLEGE GRADUATES" MOST FROM BLACK SCHOOLS. IF YOU COUNT FROM THE YEAR 1526 WHEN WE AS FULL AFRIKANS REBELLED AGAINST OUR SLAVEHOLDERS BY USE OF TERROR AND VIOLENCE AND DROVE THEM BACK ACROSS THE ATLANTIC AND ESTABLISHED THE FIRST PERMANENT COLONY IN WHAT IS NOW KNOWN AS CONTEMPORARY SOUTH CARORLINA ON THE BANKS OF THE PEDEE RIVER; THESE DEGREE'S TOOK(2010 -1526 =) 484 YEARS. INCREDIBLE. I'M GOING TO REVIEW MY LIST OF "BLACK MEN I WISH I COULD BE AND I KNOW RODNEY PETE IS ON THERE"; ALONG WITH MY NAME OF COURSE. HERE IS A POEM I FOUND ON LINE ABOUT US. IT'S TO THE CURB; AS WE USED TO SAY WHEN SPEAKING OF THE TRUTH. "THE BEAUITY OF A BLACK MAN"----- THE BEAUTY OF A BALCK MAN IS SEEN IN HIS SMILE, HIS HARD WORKING HAND, THE SWEAT ON HIS BROW, THE DEPTH OF HIS VOICE, HIS MASCULINE BUILD, HIS EDUCATION, HIS LABOR, HIS TOIL, HIS TALENT, HIS SKILL. THE LOVE THAT HE HAS BUT CAN'T EXPRESS, HIS WOAMN, HIS CHILDREN, HIS TEARS SUPRESSED. FRUSTRATION CONTROLLED, HIS PUNCHES HELD BACK, THE BURDENS HE BEARS, THE COURAGE HE DOES NOT LACK, THE BEAUTY OF A BLACK MAN IS UNLIKE THE REST, HE IS ABOVE THEM ALL, HE IS THE BEST. THANK YOU GOD FOR US AND RODNEY PETE, DOUG WILLIAMS, ...ECT. GET PLENTY OF WATER AND SLEEP!! PEACE
