Pastor Kerney Thomas...Seriously WHHHHHHHHHHHHHY?!

I'm bizack! For those who missed IamXI, I apologize for being away for so long and neglecting you. But, I'd like to personally thank XIKhai for holding it down and updating the site with such intriguing articles daily as well as all our contributors who posted in my absence. I truly love my XI family!

With that being said, I want to hit you all with something this Friday morning that is so hilariously funny that I HAD to share! This definitely brought a smile, grin, chuckle, giggle, and belly-aching laugh to my face...

Last night, after an intense aquatics workout class and dinner with my Mom, I came home to relax and wind down. Of course that included some television and falling fast asleep on my couch. Well, I was awaken this AM by Pastor Kerney Thomas. Oh, and if you haven't heard of him then this post is for you, and as you continue reading you'll know why I was awaken out of my slumber.

I first heard of Pastor Kerney on the Rickey Smiley show one morning a few months ago as I drove into work. Smiley was saying the same thing pretty much that I mentioned in the previous paragraph (TV on, waking up in the middle of the night, flipping channels or something to that effect). Unfortunately, I wasn't in the car long enough to hear the actual audio of Pastor Kerney, so I really didn't have ANY clue as to why Smiley was cutting up on this man so tough. But oh, now I know!

Just some insight into who Pastor Kerney is... His website bio states, Pastor Kerney Thomas was his parents' "second born child and while they were using birth control, determined not to have any more children at that time, God had a greater purpose." Pastor Kerney has ministered full time since 1981 all over the world and is currently serving as Senior Pastor of the ABUNDANT LIFE INTERNATIONAL CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST. He has traveled, preached, and conducted Miracle Crusades throughout the US...

Alright that's enough of the BS, this is my account of what I know of Pastor Kerney... Apparently, Pastor Kerney is a full fledged TV evangelist. And I mean, he is typical of EVERY stereotype that you've ever seen and heard of when it comes to black pastors (Tyler Perry's 'Mr. Brown' and Coming To America's 'Reverend Brown' comes to mind). He screams and yells, prays and shouts, shucks and jives all for the 'Lawd' while hawking free "personal prayer packages" and a "Red Blood of Jesus Prayer Hankerchief." Yep! A plain ole red piece of cloth dubbed the "Prayer Hanky" will bring miracles to you in your life. Although his "products" are free by way of the Miracle Prayer Line, don't fret, you can also donate or "sow a seed by check or credit card" because "this is not a debt you owe but a seed you sow and when you sow it God will grow it!" And even though Pastor Kerney can barely speak proper English himself, he speaks in tongues too... Or rather, he recites MJ's infamous "mamasay mamasa mumakusa," but that is NO comparison to the foolishness of Pastor Kerney's "GAAAAAAAAAAAWD." Yes, he literally screams this out whenever he says "God." Needless to say, you know how I woke up at 4 o'clock this morning to compose this post.

Now, IamXI is not trying to offend anyone or have you thinking that I don't believe in a higher power or that I'm poking and making fun of religion, faith and whatnot. But, THIS is some foolywangness if I've ever seen it...you have to admit it...Check out this 'Best Of' for yourself:

Oh and BTW, I found this priceless gem on the only place where you can see Pastor Kerney Thomas daily, 4-5am Eastern Time... None other than, good ole Black Entertainment Television. Yup! B.E.T...


Pastor Kerney Thomas...Seriously WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY?! The devil's a lie!



For those of you who are interested in more information on Pastor Kerney Thomas for whatever reason, you can visit his website: www.kerneythomas.org (And yes, that is Furonda from America's Next Top Model in the picture for "Prayer Request" on the homepage. Mmm, I guess her modeling career hasn't gone very far.)

JOE JACKSON ON LARRY KING LIVE - Aired Monday July 20, 2009

I literally sat there completely at a lost with the entire charade I really did. However, bcause this foolishness was SO unreal. I had to post it for anyone who was unfortunate enough to miss out on Joe Jackson's STRANGE interview on Larry King Live last night.

Say it ain't so JOE! Why Joe?!

The interview is in 4 parts thanks so Youtube.

*BLINKING BLANK STARE*

BET...SERIOUSLY WHY?! (Part II)

So, ladies and gentlemen, the rant continues...

Today, @BET tweeted on Twitter: "House Of Payne: Possible Spinoff on Horizon: I have yet to be influenced by Tyler Perry's brand of Black Entertainment..."

OH REALLY, BET?! WOW! I have yet to be influenced by YOUR brand of entertainment! Now, IamXI is not the biggest House of Payne fan and I'm not saying that I've liked everything Perry has created, but I can't believe they are literally calling the kettle black! How dare you have the audacity to knock someone else's interpretation of black entertainment especially when that person has done more for black entertainment than your own network. I mean really BET, WHAT makes your "brand of black entertainment" so positive, influential, and the standard?! I'll tell you what...the fact that you have "black" in your name. Yep, that's the only reason! Just some food for thought before you start throwing salt on someone else's game!

In light of XI's BET special collabo post from this morning, our content contributor, J. Probe, found this lil gem for us. (XIKhai told you we had a sense of humor...)

**Disclaimer: Contains strong language and content that may be offensive to some.**

BET…SERIOUSLY WHY?! ***SPECIAL COLLABO EDITION***

Black. Entertainment. Television… A network founded by a black man that has been on television for almost 30 years; I should be proud to say that I watch because it displays such positive images of people who look like me. But, BET, you are nothing more than a network that breeds damaging and destructive images of the African American race. Our ancestors are probably rolling over in their graves as they look down from above to see what they struggle and died for. President Obama should shut you DOWN for good, as you go against EVERYTHING that he stands for. BET, simply put…I hate you! And I’m sure that many others that have joined our movement share the same sentiment. (Do I hear a resounding applause?)

Now, I have resisted the urge to compose this, but I couldn’t muffle my thoughts about BET and the effect that it is having on our culture and its future any longer. But, my hatred for it has deepened since Sunday when I tuned in to watch this year’s BET Awards. From the red carpet pre-show to the black carpet after show it was a colossal disappointment. Here BET had the opportunity to treat us and honor THE BIGGEST name in music and it chose to do something totally opposite from that. Instead BET chose to get ratings by telling the WORLD that we’d see artists from far and wide perform MJ songs in tribute to him. FAILED! However, the WORLD was privy to seeing teenage girls with pom-poms shake their asses all over the TV screen while artists rapped songs that were entirely bleeped out. Afterwards, their reasoning for the show they aired live internationally: “we only had 3 days to prepare.” Well, BET, death is unexpected and you knew the time constraints you were under after the confirmation of his death. Your awards show was already scheduled and planned for Sunday, June 28th (See BET Awards 2009: Pre-Awards edition), you should NOT have used this man’s death as an excuse of your very poor display of production and professionalism. The WORLD saw borderline buffoonery this past Sunday night, and will continue to see it replayed over and over again 6,284 times during the next few weeks. BET, you should have just had the balls to gracefully bowed out and chosen to do a tribute to Michael Jackson that was literally ‘fit for a king’ at a later date when you had more time to prepare for it. Because that was TRASH that you put on display the other night and you should be ASHAMED!

But, should IamXI be surprised? This is BET we're talking about…Black. Entertainment. Television… They haven’t made me take pride in their network for years now. But, they are content and satisfied with their television programs. They must be quite pleased that most see it as a representation of how blacks are viewed in America… Because gone are the days of quality programs such as Teen Summit and Video Soul. Gone are the days when Ananda Lewis, an educated black woman, hosted their TV programs. NOW, we have 106 & Park who have guests on like Pretty Ricky who sing about sex to 13-year-olds, and it’s hosted by Rocsi, most recently known for being a home-wrecker than intelligent. I remember her audition interviewing rapper Xzibit, where she asked him about his MTV show, Pimp My Ride...(I know you're giving the screen the dumb look right now.) They also have College Hill, where most of the cast mates spend their time in lavish, off-campus homes and rarely on campuses of the actual black colleges they speak of. This show is mainly based on their in-fighting and hooking up, then the trials and tribulations of college life. Which leads me to BET’s newest additions to their ‘oh so great’ line-up, Tiny & Toya and Frankie & Neffe… I can’t…Lord, mama’s tired (SMDH)… XIKhai, can you take it from here, please (tagging off)…

(...picking up where IamXi left off)
Disclaimer: The words you are about to read are heavily judgmental and harsh so if you’re in any way in denial regarding the coonery that is BET in what they choose to display on a daily basis, please stop reading now…

Ok now that we’ve gotten that out of the way…I’m going to throw some words out to you. Dysfunction, blissful ignorance, drug abuse, loud, rude, angry, dental down syndrome *swagger jacked this gem from flyguyworldwide on twitter* which is another way to describe the complete and utter disregard of proper English, disorderly conduct and down right FOOLERY. A friend of mine once said to me that words have meaning and when thrown out into the universe regardless of their context some words are taken at face value. Now imagine for a moment what these words mean when describing the two NEW shows BET has set to premier this season in all of their disgraceful glory.

Black women have endured a lot of controversy over the years…from the horrors of being consistently raped in the days of slavery, followed by the suppression of their voices in this country before the woman's suffrage act. To being called every name but the child of God, while other black women fear that black men don't even notice us anymore; we’ve suffered the backlash that the world of music videos has placed on our shoulders and at the end of the day most of us can’t even find ONE black woman to lean on when the world is crumbling down around us because we barely get along with each other anymore. Some wouldn’t argue that a lot of these issues were handed over to us...effectively passed down and not directly linked to our own doing and they’d mostly be right. However, what we’re witnessing today is a generation of self-inflicted wounds that I fear are doing far more damage then we’ll ever truly know. What I see…I’m placing at the feet of some people I know (yeah I bet I got your attention now as I’m sure toes are curling up in some shoes.)

Now I have to say, that catchy lines and hilarious banter on a tv show is a quality in which I live for. Everyone needs comic relief from time to time, even daily for some, and the more I get the better I feel. People who deprive themselves of a good laugh I’d venture to guess are probably not the most appealing people in the world, just my personal opinion. So let’s get that aspect out of the way, I'm not trying to suck the fun and humor out of our television. We all love a good laugh…but for some shows, where the laughing stops…the hurt begins. Which begs the question to BET…Who are we and what on earth do we represent?

Let’s forget for a moment that we’re living in the era of Obama ok, let’s just go back to being regular ole black folks. Have our creative minds taken a backseat to true entertainment in exchange for former junkies and baby mamas? I’m sorry, but in the two NEW shows BET has chosen to air where do the women like some of my close friends relate and fall in? You know these women…they’re the ones that get up every morning and work hard, then come home to take care of their families, and discuss ways in which to change this world. The singles ones like me, who also work then hang out with our friends and enrich our lives by doing positive things for the people they love and care about. Where are these women? For once BET can you bring these women out and pass on the easy but shameful laugh? Can my image be reflected on a show...I mean is it a fear of the unfunny...because I can assure you that we crack jokes too, damnit! I know alot of funny women who are as equally entertaining and less crass, vulgar, and HOLLOW. Depth is an intriguing quality in women as it compliments our humor as well as wit and charm. We do exist and I’m sure I could round up some folks who would tune in every week to take it all in. So I don't quite understand why drama and foolishness win out every time and plague our existence on the television screen. And since I'm asking, why do our children have to be fatherless reared up in confusing family situations. Engagement rings are nice but so are weddings and while divorce is a necessary reality for some it’s not for all and what's up with the "eternal engagements"...you know where you get the ring and that's it. Do all of the men we date have to be rappers and entertainers bound for jail or worse? Can’t we be shown dating lawyers and investment bankers, shoot a nice office guy with all of their teeth and NO TATOOS would due? I would like for once to be shown in a positive light on the network that bares MY existence? Yes I said it, people that aren’t black believe BET to be the window into the souls of black folks and if this is the window they’re peeking into…I’m going to need some steel bars and medal plated slabs with thick black curtains covering me up because the images aren’t accurate. And while I’m sure the women on these shows love their families and work hard for them, the way they choose to go about their daily lives should not be the model in which the world sees us. But sadly it is!

For once I’d just like to watch a show on an English network in America and not need subtitles! I’d just like to be proud of the images I see and hold them as a true reflection of my life?

When I started this post I wanted to you all to laugh and use my wit and quips as a guide into my mind. However, the more I wrote the angrier I became and I know now that’s it no longer funny, it actually stopped being funny a long time ago. As we flip the channels the examples are endless and it’s no longer humorous…as a matter of fact to put it bluntly it became so funny that we no longer needed other races to set the stereotypes of us. So racists need not apply because we’re doing the dirty work for you free of charge. And with BET’s summer line up of shows they’re writing another chapter that will inevitably be added to the many stories regarding black women, and this one is as ugly as it gets.

So to the Toya’s & Tiny’s of the reality world along with the Frankie’s & Neffe’s thank you ladies for telling YOUR story…but I have to ask that next time, you do it without the entire world watching…

Seriously why, NOT?
Leave us a comment...We want to hear your thoughts about BET, the BET Awards, and/or their current & future programming line-up.

I must say that this awards show failed to meet my expectations...so sad, so sad...

Keeping Up With the Joneses!

Ok, XI fam, let’s switch channels from the hilariously funny shenanigans of Bridezillas on WeTV to tonight’s episode of the ‘tug on your heartstrings’ show, Wedding Day on TNT. Tonight’s episode features a couple that IamXI have had the privilege to get to know within the past year, Jaénelle and Nykolas Jones. Detroit natives, Jaénelle and Nyk, have known one another since grade school but didn’t begin dating until years later. The two quickly fell in love and became pregnant with their daughter, Anayah, in 2007. The couple decided to wed, but their wedding plans were put on hold when Jaénelle delivered early and Anayah was diagnosed with a non-functioning kidney. This prognosis was especially difficult for Jaénelle, a neo-natal intensive care nurse at Children’s Hospital. After Anayah’s risky surgery and mounting medical bills, the couple no longer had the funds for a big, elaborate wedding…

Enter creator Mark Burnett, Wedding Day producers, Anna Richardson and Exceptional Events (a premier wedding and event design company in Detroit), the Wedding Day co-hosts Alan Dunn (celebrity event planner, TLC's For Better or For Worse) and Diann Valentine (celebrity wedding designer), R&B singer Joe (who sang during the couple’s first dance), co-workers (who tipped Jaénelle off to a mass e-mail about Burnett's national search for engaged couples with a story to tell), and countless family members and friends who all assisted in making Jaénelle and Nyk’s day a VERY special one. They were wed on August 8, 2008 and their wedding was "beyond their dreams and so much more," says bridesmaid, Vi’Nessa Webster. Jaénelle and Nyk have not seen a preview episode of their nuptials yet. So, they will be viewing it for the first time with their entire wedding party, Anayah (who is great now and loves to dance & sing to the BEP’s "Boom Boom Pow"), their new baby girl Kennedy (born just this past Saturday), and the rest of America. Hope you have the Kleenex ready because this one will be a tearjerker with a few laughs…thanks to my dear friends, comedian Phil Newkirt, Doraine Swift, Vi’Nessa Webster, and Toi Webster.

I urge all of our fellow Xfactors to tune in to TNT, TONIGHT at 8pm eastern, to witness a compelling story about true friends who marry one another on the second episode of the Wedding Day. I know IamXI will be tuned in... I mean, who doesn't like a great love story with a fairytale ending? And hey, Detroit will be seen in a totally different light for once too!

Official eXclusive Sneak Peek!

BET Awards 2009: Pre-Awards edition

Ok, so I hope that I am not the only one who's anticipating this year's BET Awards show. But, I'm sure that I will be the only one who will be downloading a blank ballot and posting my winning picks because I know XIKhai won't be. (LOL!) But, maybe I can convince her to do a "XI picks the winners" post. (Hint hint)... But, who really cares about the actual awards themselves? Only BET and the nominees. The rest of us are only interested in viewing the other three elements of the show: the host, the performances, and the surprises.

Well, first and foremost, four words: Jamie Foxx is hosting... And the foolishness that will ensue has me on edge. AH! The hilarity of it all... Can't wait!

Secondly, the artists scheduled to perform:

Monica (See Keyshia Cole, because I mean really, what album does she currently have out?)

Keyshia Cole ("Trust" featuring Monica I'm sure will be performed, since Monica is slated to be on stage somewhere.)

Fabolous (Does he have an album, single, or even a ringtone out now? If so, clearly, I missed it.)

Young Jeezy ("My President" would be so apropos this year... Don't you think?)

Beyonce (Anyone who knows me knows that IAMXI is EXPECTING B to sing "Ego." If she comes out singing anything off that "I Am" album or "At Last," there will be a SERIOUS PROBLEM!)

Jay-Z (Aww, I wonder if many in the audience will be offended since J has declared "Death of Autotune.")

Ne-Yo (Ooooh! Wouldn't a "Miss Independent (She's Got Her Own)" performance with Jamie be wonderful?! HEY, maybe that's what F-a-b-o-l-o-u-s will be doing there.)

Maxwell (Ok, thinking about this man makes my heart skip a beat. And his comeback on the 2008 show had me LOVING whatever he was singing. So I'm looking forward to "Pretty Wings" being performed live, but it really doesn't even matter!)

Soulja Boy (I'm sure all of those who "hopped up out the bed" and turn their swag on will appreciate this one...)

Kanye West (I never get tired of seeing Ye perform, so anything he performs as he steps on that stage would be great! The old Ye is back!)

Mary Mary (I LOVE LOVE LOVE "God in Me," so I pray they perform this.)

Keri Hilson (Supposedly, she was just confirmed to perform today. And with Ne-Yo & Ye on deck, I'm looking forward to a "Knock You Down" performance.)

BET is also tweeting they have one more slot to fill, and they are asking fans to vote for Drake. So, maybe we'll get a summer performance from the hottest, newest act in the game right now.

Other than the performances and awards to be given out, there will be a few surprises per usual as BET always has something up its sleeves. Supposedly, there will be an announcement made about the television show, The Game, and it's possible move to BET... Details are still being worked out though. But, here's hoping...

So I will be patiently, but anxiously awaiting the BET Awards show which airs Sunday, June 28 @ 8pm eastern.

Hey, maybe IAMXI will blog LIVE about all of the fashion, performances, and foolishness that will take place on the black carpet and on the main stage.

Seriously WHY, Aunt Viv?

So, Janet Hubert (-Whitten no more), only known for her role as the first "Vivian Banks" on the iconic Fresh Prince of Bel-Air has written a tell-all memoir about her departure from the show in 1993. In the past week or so, she has been shamelessly, self-promoting her book entitled, "Perfection Is Not A Sitcom Mom," which pretty much bashes the show's star, Will Smith. Thirteen years all after the fact, she has been publicly lashing out that Will Smith was basically a one-man wrecking crew of her career. She quips that Smith was not the charasmatic actor that many of us have grown to admire and love. Supposedly, her claims against Smith include "mental and verbal abuse on the set, hypocrisy, excessive egoism, blatant resentment, the insensitive spewing of ‘your mama’s so black’ jokes, and ultimately public slander." Hubert also accuses Smith of having "full power on that set."

...(pause for the cause and blank stare)...

Um, please correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Smith's hip-hop alias "Fresh Prince?" And isn't the show called the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, not the Janet Hubert-Whitten of LaLa Land show? Am I the only one making the correlation here? Mmhmm...Ok, thought so...

(pause break over, continuing)

The show's premise was based on and centered around Smith. NBC approached and wanted Smith, someone who was very new to acting, to star in the weekly sitcom. And Hubert, a weathered actress already in Hollywood, seems to be the only one harboring some "blantant resentment." It seems as though Hubert is making claims in her memoir, and much of it comes off as bitterness and animosity of the celebrity that Smith has become over the years. As well as what the show has become since it premiere in 1990, nearly 20 years ago. So, I'm pretty sure she's not getting as many royalty checks from the show and its syndication, since she has pretty much burned bridges with not only Smith but other notables such as Quincy Jones (the show's co-producer) and other NBC executives. Yeah, back in '94, she filed a suit against the network and Smith too!

Now, this is a first that I've ever heard of Will Smith basically being an a-hole from a supposed 'insider.' He has worked with many actors and actresses since the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was on the air and I've never recalled hearing that he was diffcult to work with, even then or now. His other castmates have even worked with him on other projects and television shows after Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Alfonso Ribeiro has directed episodes of All of Us which was created and executive produced by Smith. And Tatyana Ali and Smith have both been featured on one another's albums, Kiss the Sky and Willennium, respectively.

So, I don't know about you, but it seems as though Ms. Hubert is trying to be relevant again in anyway possible. I mean, she is going around spewing all of these wild accusations that I can't understand why anyone would check for her book in 2010 when it is slated to be released. Yeah, I said 2010...as in a year from now. I guess because it is a recession, everyone is in need to make a quick buck...well, we know Will Smith isn't.


Aunt Viv, for real? Girl, bye!
