Solange Knowles Says 'Yes, Yes, Yes,'

One day we all will stand before God the Father and He will ask "What did you do with the gifts and talents I have given you?" Would your answer be "I showed forth your love and lived according to your word." "Every word spoke from my mouth was the truth of your word and I lived a life before the people that would give you glory." or would it be "I supported every good cause for my glory and spoke words that encourage the body (saved or unsaved) to sin against the Father because I wanted a contact and/or my name in lights to keep up the family tradition." One day we will all have to give an account of our lives and our actions. I pray Jesus will open the eye of the people before it's too late. Where will your soul rest when your flower is pluck from the garden of this world? God bless you.....

For all the people who have commented on Solange and her decisions in life, how are you helping the AIDS/HIV epidemic?? This is not about Solange it is about another person stepping up to address a pubilc issue, not a teenage or young adult issue. Do you know the number of new HIV/AIDS cases in the metro DC area almost matches that of an African country. Do your research and check the stats? CNN reported 1 in every 20 people have HIV in the metro DC area and its growing. Large cities all around the nation are experiencing the same thing. Before we judge someone for stepping up to help a cause, Ask yourself what I am doing? How am I helping to spread the information. An another question is, Do you even know your own status???? Check yourself first.... Get informed!!!

We need to step up and do what we need to do in our own home. We as a society try to leave everything to others and then we have the nerves to point fingers. We are too busy doing other things instead of teaching our children the right thing.

There ought to be a campaign that addresses waiting to have your babies until you are married. Wouldn't that be beautiful? Hordes of young women pledging to not start families until they have received an education, experienced life and finds the right man and marries. Children are the ones that suffer from these short lived hookups that don't materialize into a marriage. I keep trying to figure out when it became alright to get pregnant without being married? It happens, of course, but that don't make it right. Stigmas are a good thing in my opinion, they make you think twice about doing something stupid. It seems to me that females today are getting dumber. Seems many women today need books written by men to tell us how to act like ladies. Truly silly times we live in.

The Black Ashlee Simpson. Pure comedy. She has been miscast unless she starts every speech with 'do as I say, not as I did'. I think Paris Hilton would have been a better choice since we know girlie gets around but has no babes to show for it.Celebrities are for my 'entertainment purposes only'. They are not my guides for living safe, healthy and disease free. No one in Follywood shares my values.

She's not particularly a role-model, BUT she did do the right thing. She got MARRIED! Too many people allow their kids to have babies and forget about the responsibilities of FAMILY. if u knock her up, then she need to marry her. if she's not the marrying type, then u shouldn't have been with her in the first place. our Black community needs to put more emphasis on the FAMILY and MARRIAGE

I have to agree with the other comments about Solange. Regardless of what she says now about safe sex, she obviously didn't practice what she is preaching now, and so the kids aren't going to listen to her unless she is very up front and admits how she foolishly risked her own life by having unprotected sex. They should have gotten the young woman who has written a book about having HIV to represent the campaign, as she would have been a truer example of the point they are trying to get across.

First off so what if Sol's career is not like Bey's? Its just never going to happen like that for her. She looks similar to Bey but not as stunning. She sings good but not as great, its a lesson in life, that we cant all compare to the overachiever. Sol's life i would rather have than Bey's. Sol can sing what she likes, wear what she wants, and have her little one. Bey's every move is a calculated step, she doesnt live for self anymore, she lives for fame and money. That said, Sol's message is encouraging, and i applaud her, especially a single mother taking a stand for safe sex. Truth is, kids (and adults) are going to do it, so lets try to be as safe about it as possible. Dont knock her for having something more positive to say. I tried abstinence many times as a single woman, and it rarely lasts, we can't all be super virgins ladies!

I agree that Solange's cd is good. It has a way different viibe than the stuff Big sis puts out. At lease Solange sounds like she is talking to adults and not the 15 and under crowd lol. But then again it's true some people just make music to make money at that's the bottom line

As for chzz, actually I BEG TO DIFFER. Cause actually she is the best person to be a spokesperson. Hate it or love it, it is time people are real with their children. Too m any of us aren't. Some of our children live life looking thriugh rose-colored glasses. And then when life happens, it is a shock to them. If more people told their story, then maybe alot of this could be prevented. But as long as we keep pointing fingers and criticizing, things will remainthe same
