Even though 3Chics Politico is written and curated by three women: Ametia, Rikyrah, and SouthernGirl2, I must nominate this as one of the most engaging blogs I've found. Devoted to politics and culture, these three shine a light on contemporary life with humor and spirit.

Whitney Houston Casket Carried to Hearse
I wanted to post to this site because it is the only one that didn’t reek with the stink of mean-spirited nasty comments. Honestly, if you don’t care then pass on by.
Hi Deneice. Welcome to 3 Chics. WE.FEEL.YOU. And thank you so much for your sharing and helping us celebrate Ms. Whitney’s Homegoing.
Thank you so much! Looking forward to knowledge shared and cultivated by uplifting and gifting!
Hi Denise!
Welcome to 3Chics!
Wonderful! I’m pleased to be here and look forward to a positive experience hanging out with 3Chics!
We’re a lively crew here, Deneice. We have serious discussions but we like to have fun with it. We try to bring it all, politics, culture, humor, music, & the spiritual. You’re most welcomed.
I am so profoundly grateful that Cissy Houston allowed filming to take place during the Home Going services for her daughter. Indeed we were all “taken to church” and reminded that no matter how lost Whitney may have been in her physical form here on earth, that she was deeply rooted in her spiritual life. All those in attendance held her high and released her to The Lord; the abundance of their love was palpable. My prayers go to Bobbi-Kris for I too, have an only daughter and no matter the clashes we’ve had, the painful, hurtful truths of mothers and their daughters, if I was to leave her too early, she’d never be the same. Bobbi-Kristina is going to miss her mother something awful and nothing on earth will sustain her unless she trustfully roots her life in Christ. The world will be watching for her downfall and the devil will actively send people and circumstances to BK to trick her and wrap her in the evil of worldly things. I pray that she takes strength from the woman who meant the most to her because we know Whitney had to be strong in her line of work. Whitney gave to us the great gift of her magnificent voice. The places she’s travelled whether high or low could have only been walked through by a strong woman. This gift, if deemed so, is to be passed onto her only child and I pray that she understands and realizes she has that gift of strength from her mom. It will be during those trying times that she’ll know her mom has never left her.
Beautifully stated. AMEN!
Your words are so profound and so true. Little did anyone know that her daughter just could not make it without her Mom.
The View Panel Talks Whitney Houston’s Funeral, Falling On Top Of Caskets
by Sarah Devlin | 12:37 pm, February 20th, 2012
Oh, how I have missed watching The View every morning! On this day in history, the panel covered the most touching moments of Whitney Houston’s funeral in Newark, New Jersey on Saturday, which included performances from the likes of Stevie Wonder and a moving speech by Kevin Costner. Then, naturally, talk turned to Whoopi Goldberg’s own funeral. Elisabeth Hasselbeck didn’t want to have the discussion, but Sherri Shepherd and Whoopi agreed that shying away from the inevitable doesn’t help anyone, and that funerals can sometimes be joyous.
At this point, the two of them began talking about “the lady that falls into the casket,” wailing, at the end of African American funerals, which is apparently enough of a trope at that both of them recognized it immediately and were able to do impressions? Never change, ladies.

Whitney Houston complete funeral program

“On Saturday, before I found out about your transition, my doorbell rang. I went to answer it but there was no one there. It rang again & again, no one was there. I called the concierge to tell him someone was ringing my doorbell. He checked the cameras and told me that no one was there. You promised me you were coming to spend time with me after the Grammy’s. I believe the spirits allowed you to come after all.”
BEAUTIFUL! May God Bless you, Ms. Cissy Houston.
Whitney looks like a beautiful Angel in that photo.
Whitney Houston funeral: Who were the pallbearers?
http://www.examiner.com/celebrity-headlines-in-cleveland/whitney-houston-funeral-who-were-the-pallbearers
February 19, 2012 — Whitney Houston’s emotional funeral was ended by her pallbearers carrying the singer’s chrome casket out of the New Jersey church. Now, fans are wondering just who the group of men who had the honor of escorting Whitney to her final resting place were.
According to Whitney Houston’s funeral program, released by TMZ, the singer had 13 pallbearers. The names listed on the program for the service included Gary Houston, Michael Houston, Ray Watson, Billy Evans, Brad Harper, David Elliot, Damon Elliot, Barry Warrick, Bob Fontenot, Gregory Moss, Nicholas Gordon, along with two others.
Whitney Houston had many adoring fans, but it was her close friends and family who knew her best. The “I Will Always Love You” singer’s casket was removed from the New Jersey church as the hit song played in the church.
Winans Family Whitney Houston Funeral Tribute – “Tomorrow”
I sooooo appreciate seeing Costner’s tribute to Whitney. Thanks for this.
Melissa Harris -Perry did her last 2 segments on the Saturday show on Whitney. they were very respectful.
Whitney Houston’s Casket exiting the church.
this broke my heart. I teared up, here and there, but watching Cissy literally being held up by the ‘ sisters’ in the church, walking behind her baby’s coffin…
for those who spoke nonsense about Whitney’s demons and didn’t understand why this shook us as a community – it was there…WE were there with Cissy. We always saw Whitney as ‘Cissy’s Baby’.
I concur. My heart just breaks for poor Cissy. Please send prayers up for the Houston family. They need them.
Speak the TRUTH, rikyrah. No mother dreams of burrying their child. I watched my mother when my twin sister died; It’s heart-wrenchingly unbearable….
Mercy; i can’t take this; watching Ms. Cissy being carried out of the church followng her daughter’ casket. It’s much to MUCH!
When I saw that casket being carried away with Ms Cissy following behind crying…I was wailing.
Thanks for the photos.
My Pleasure, Dannie!
Whitney was loved deeply. I feel like Rikyrah…we’re still in shock. It’s very hard to accept that she is gone. Folks were looking for a comeback…not death. It’s so crushing.
It’s so depressing, Jueseppi!

This photo is sooo heart-wrenchingly profound.
