Yet at the appointed time today, Barbara Jackson will make her way to the courthouse, a colorectal cancer survivor [...]

Name Calling: When Does It All Stop
04.25.07 | Permalink | Comment?

Understand this people, “Not everyone likes to be called ‘nigger,’ ‘nigga,’ ‘negro.’” Not all women can sit back and relax as you call her a’bitch’ or ‘ho.’
It doesn’t matter what your background is. It doesn’t matter where you come from. It doesn’t matter who you hang with. It just isn’t cool to call people out [...]

IMUS: A Topic of Discussion
04.23.07 | Permalink | 1 Comment

We were discussing the Don Imus debacle, wondering if his problem is racism or social retardation.
I am inclined to go with the second opinion, because racism is one of those dread realities common among all people. Socialization trains one not to overtly demonstrate same, in any manner.
Imus entered a language community to which he wasn’t [...]

It Was All Your Fault
04.19.07 | Permalink | Comment?

“You decided to spill my blood” are the words that echo in my head. Since when is it my fault that you want to shoot me dead? At what point is it my fault that you are so hurt inside of your heart and head that you have to kill other people? Sure, people didn’t [...]

Do You Know any Nappy Headed Hos?
I don’t know any Nappy-Headed Hos
I do know some bootylicious babes
I know some weave wearing woman
Some extension sporting sisters
But no, I don’t know any Nappy-Headed Hos
Perms with split ends, maybe.
Braids, dreads, or tinnie winnie afro’s, yep.
Kinks and curls, you bet.
But Nappy-Headed Hos - I don’t think so.

Don Imus, Gone: For Now?
04.13.07 | Permalink | Comment?

How do you lose two jobs in a matter of two weeks? Start calling a basketball team, “Nappy Headed Hos!”
Don Imus was fired from not only MSNBC but also CBS (though I’m not sure what took them so long but these things happen). I know people who have gotten fired for less. So for this [...]
