REMEMBERING BERNIE MAC

My weekend was brought to an abrupt end early Saturday morning. I froze as I was told that Bernie Mac had passed away. Bernie was not only one of my favorite comedians, but one of my favorite people in Hollywood. He was a true representative of a good man, a good father, and a good role model. Sometimes you wonder why someone like him would be taken away at such an early age, but life doesn't make any sense sometimes. I am not going to take too much time to chastise the tasteless gossip circuit for reporting his death last week prematurely. I will say you should be ashamed of yourselves for not respecting a human being's privacy. It seems you got your wish. Let's take some time acknowledge some of his greatest accomplishments. Here is Bernie Mac's filmography and some of his career highlights. Rest in peace Bernie I know your in a better place. Let's keep his legacy alive
