We have established an unofficial policy at YouThinkWhat whereby we do not mention certain news personalities for whom we have no respect. We generally do not celebrate the stupid people.

“Failure is not a word I accept”~ John H. Johnson, Publisher
John H. Johnson was an American businessman, founder of the Johnson Publishing Company. He was the chairman of Johnson Publishing Company and he also chaired the Fashion Fair Cosmetics Company, a company created by his wife Eunice Walker Johnson.
Under his leadership both Jet and Ebony Magazines flourished. Readership and circulation grew every year from 1945 the year in which they were first published.
The magazines were named by his wife Eunice and the start-up money came from a $500 loan from his mother. She allowed Johnson to use her furniture as collateral for the loan.
His business success is nothing short of meteoric. He rose from the depths of poverty, spending a short time on the welfare rolls to becoming the first Black African American to be included in the Forbes 400 list of richest Americans. (more…)

If you are one of those who uses Twitter to tell the whole entire planet what you are doing every minute of the day, where you are, who you are with, when you are home and when you are not- we have a word of caution for you and a web site you have got to see.
The word of warning is DON’T! Do Not share everything about your life on the Internet…as fascinating as you may find it, or you believe others may find it so, some nefarious individuals may find it even more so…
We advise what is private must remain private.
It is said a word to the wise is sufficient and if you happen to be unwise then a picture is worth at least a thousand words…

“We use the ability to lower the armrests as the gauge, as the armrests are truly the definitive boundary between each seat.”
Blanche Africa Reilly Dark has her say about Southwest Airlines and movie director Kevin Smith.
Over the past weekend the Internet was all a buzz with news a young fat movie director was ejected in a manner he considers inappropriate whether he is a well known fat dude flying the people’s airline or just one of the unknown people who fly affordable air transportation. I should add right here I agree with Smith. The disrespect and humiliation demonstrated toward him was absolutely unacceptable! It’s unsatisfactory to be rude to any paying customer in any industry.

“There’s a choice we’re making.
We’re saving our own lives…”-Lionel Richie
Nearly twenty-five years after the initial recording of the song created by the late Michael Jackson with lyrics by Lionel Richie, a new generation of Hollywood celebrities, singers, actors, models and people just known for being known, gathered to record a remake of the song that raised in 1985 more than $30 million for the charity USA For Africa.
This new crop of celebrities met on February 1, 2010, almost 25 years after the first gathering headed by music producer Quincy Jones, to record the cover to raise money for the survivors of the recent devastating earthquake in Haiti.
We’ve decided to revisit the original recording from 1985: (more…)
