Making Bricks With No Straw

2012-01-09T13:57:00.000-08:00

It gets really tiring to me with the comparisons that are not in good faith regarding black people. Other people of color go through this as well I'm sure. I sometimes wonder why I bother responding but it really angers me. What angers me is that for the most part black people do very little different than other races. This is the point at which, of course, someone comes in with the statistics...

Que the Single Mother Blaming

2011-08-01T18:51:00.000-07:00

Fantasia has announced her pregnancy. BXSSBVT848HC Damn, damn, damn! Now there will be another round of commentary on how the horrible single mothers are ruining society. I would love just once for someone to point out that in places where out of wedlock births are low and the society is still shit,

Oprah Is a Forerunner Of The Antichrist, really?

2011-07-29T22:33:00.000-07:00

I cannot stand Oprah haters. The basic reason is they hate her over untruths. If you hate celebrities and their self absorbed lives, I can get that.Usually, though, when I have had a conversation with people that hate Oprah, their reasons are, she hates black men, hates men in general or some variation of that claim. I'm not an unreasonable person, I absolutely reconsider my ideas when

"The condition of the women amongst us presents a peculiar phase of republican civilization and constitutional liberty. To some, the problem seems hard to understand. The difficulty is in theory, not in practical demonstration; that works well enough—theories in government, as in all things else, must yield to facts. No truth is clearer than that the best form or system of government for any

Healthier Women Have Access to Health Care? Well Color Me Shocked! We Certianly Needed a Study to Know This!

A government report conducted by the Institute of Medicine recommends preventative be positioned as the foundation of the U.S. healthcare system. The report’s particular focus is on the gap in need for women’s services. Some of the recommendations include:improved screening for cervical cancer, counseling for sexually transmitted infections, and counseling and screening for HIV; a fuller

Planking is dumb,that's all.

2011-07-07T20:20:00.000-07:00

Don't forget my sammich while you're in there When I first heard about planking I thought it was merely a joke, not something real. Planking is a game where a person lies face down on something with their arms to the side. There have been people comparing it to how slaves were packed into ships for slave trading. After looking up the origin of the game, it appears to have started in

Why Are Black Women So Rude?

2011-07-03T10:30:00.000-07:00

Hi haters! I’m back for more cash! I was having a conversation with a friend once and I told him, “The fact is, I’m not really rude, I only do that because men think that, and then they get to know me and realize I’m not.” There are several gimmicks circulating the world, but quite possibly the only analogy I could draw was that which happens on college campuses everywhere. There was this

Complaining about complaints?

2011-04-27T11:35:00.000-07:00

On my No More, Mr. Nice Guy post there was this comment: Ok, Anon. If you would like, I can gladly join you in a game of 5 card whiny. I see your complaint and raise you a fuck you very much. Does this dude not realize the irony of complaining bitterly about women complaining bitterly? Let's go over his list, shall we? 1.

The only way I can think of to describe the way I feel today is blessed. The term does give a bit of a religious connotation but I believe there is a higher power any way. Whatever you want to call it is your own business. Anyhoo, I decided to spend today thinking about the many ways I am fortunate. I have an income, I have people I love in my life, I have food to eat-clothes to wear--and a place

Epic Win?

2011-04-02T23:14:00.000-07:00

Smell what Epic Win is cookin I was watching TV and saw a commercial in which the character was named epic win. He was kind of a little guy with a European accent. This is not at all who I would imagine epic win to look like. I began thinking about all of the reasons that is and how societal beliefs shape our subconscious thinking about this type of stuff. While I am aware that if someone says

The Nice Guys I Didn't Date

2011-03-16T14:25:00.000-07:00

There are some guys I could genuinely call nice that I did not have a romantic relationship with by my choice. I’m sure there are many women that could say this. This does not mean women don’t like guys that are nice. Nice is one attribute of many that people look for. I’ll break down the nice guys I didn’t date and why. Guy1 was a friend’s brother. He was an ok guy, friendly, polite and did not

My favorite things from last week: Videos: The BEST FUCKING COMENTARY EVAR on (fake)nice guys. "If your reaction to hearing that a woman is in a relationship with a man who smacks her, kicks her, and calls her a “fat twat” is not to say, “Oh my god, that’s terrible! I hope she gets help!” but instead to say, “Damn, there’s one more woman whose pussy I’m not penetrating, woe is me,” you are

2011-03-09T12:11:00.000-08:00

One thing that helps happiness, being content with yourself. I don't mean content as in complacent in your flaws. One should always strive for improving those, but be able to see the things about you that are just so damn great that you gotta a tell a mo'fo' don't hate. LOL. If you spend not only time trying to be the best person you can be and also reveling in the great person you are, happiness

How does one consider celebrity bull? Do you care, not care, do you enjoy the entertainment until you are disgusted with yourself. (or get caught watching celeb bull alone in the room like a porno and stop because of shame) People do watch the train wreck in fascination at least. The latest video auto-tuning the news is making being entertained much easier. I have one gear go! Epic Winning!

Some of my favorite posts and/or videos from last week: Tim Wise is completely on point with this video. Would it be weird to say I love him? I am quite fond of MANBOOBZ blog so it's hard to choose a fave from last week but I'd probably choose this. Another fave blog of mine What about our daughters included this video: That all the faves I can think of now.

So Close, Yet So Far

2011-03-03T20:17:00.000-08:00

It is interesting that both of the men speaking in this clip can see the parallel with the white MRA’S and black men, and black vs white feminists. They can see the issues that could possibly come up when trying to get together for a common goal when the two groups have an outstanding beef. So close, yet so far. At least for the black guy. As far as the white guy, I suppose they could
