RIP Mr.Don Cornelius I believe all celebrities should keep their private lives private.

[@MameConnie-zd5pj]

You remember that he was a private person. When he married pretenders like snow people that wanted to suck all his money after a few years of marriage, at time, he had no more privacy.

[@RebelLife77]

How can a celebrity be “private”?

[@brendacooper8306]

If a celebrity wants to be private they will find a way to do so.

[@RebelLife77]

@@brendacooper8306 I just asked you how? Give me an example

[@brendacooper8306]

@@RebelLife77 I don't have a answer at this point but where there's a will there's a way.Some entertainer's do keep their lives private and when the paparazzi can't find anything they just make it up I feel whatever the celebrity's do is their business not the Whole World.

I consider myself lucky to have grown up in a neighborhood that was predominantly black. My family was the only Mexican family in the neighborhood. My best friends whom I considered my sisters really shared their culture with me and my family. I will always consider myself as partially black. My heart is black and my skin is brown. I always stand with my black sisters and brothers in god. To my best friends Faye and Ruthie you both had a positive impact on my life. You both were very supportive of me when I was suffering from abuse. You guys held me when I cried. Both of you were more like my sisters than my blood sisters. I will always love you both.

💖✨💖✨ Tar Babe 1986 ✨💖✨💖 Saturday mornings in Compton were Captain Crunch cereal, Fat Albert cartoons, and Soul Train!! Football games at Gonzales Park, Jim Burgers, in the afternoon. And maybe a movie at the Compton Drive-in at night!! ✨ Man-Oh-Man the time... The Afro's and the clock shoes with bail-bottom pants! EVERYBODY'S Mama was a good cook. Street gangs fought with bats, bricks, chains, and pocket knives. I remember it ALL-- from "Now & Laters" hard candy to Parliament & FUNK-a-DELIC ... Being Black back then was a very different kind of an experience. 🤔 And truthfully... none of it would have ever meant ANYTHING without SOUL TRAIN!!!

1 thing for sure that's true is how no matter what we see, the level of success, and the legacy they create at the end of the day they're still human with struggles and demons they're battling. But, no matter what he'l was amazing, broke barriers, and has a fanbase that spans generations in our families.

I ❤ Soul Train. When I was a little girl Soul Train was in Chicago. I had 2 uncles that danced on Soul Train in Chicago. They danced and were tapped on Shows. They would tell the Family what Saturday they would be on. My Family was so excited. We would all sit around the television and watch them.
