The State of the Union





What is going on with this country?

Lunacy is the where most are living on Main Street USA. Is it in the water?

First, my biggest pain right now is the this so called victimization of the white male that is being pushed by some on the right. White men have called me racist for not giving into this falsehood. So be it. Do we not see how the media is manipulating this entire thing from FOX and Glenn Beck to only showing the insanity at some of these rallies? Its controlled hysteria.

I'm annoyed. I'm actually so annoyed that I probably can't really write a comprehensive blog about what is happening. I'm really starting to buy into this blue pill vs red pill philosophy. Civility is lost. Rational thought is lost. Opposing view points shouldn't come to this. We are taking being a part of a political party as a way to define the person and well, its nothing new in this country (Communism and McCarthy), it would seem when should have grown and learned from past mistakes. America will implode on her arrogance and her lack of sensibilities. We are not a free nation. Our media is controlled. We've allowed a few corporations to OWN entire industries and yet we want to worry about Obama and socialism. Americans have bought into this socialist mantra and don't even know what socialism is.

We are a stupid nation and getting stupidier. ;)

All great empires have fallen. I'm wondering if I'm living in the time of the fall of the Great Experiment.

hmmmmm......

Confessions of a Recovering Misogynist" by Kevin Powell

In the past few weeks, I've had the opportunity to have very brief conversations with Kevin Powell. Its very interesting to speak with someone with similar passions for community service. As someone who has been very transparent on her blog, I find this essay by Kevin refreshing. I just happen to see this on Facebook as someone posted it many months ago. Thanks KP. I AM A SEXIST MALE. I take no great pride in saying this, I am merely stating a fact. It is not that I was born this way-rather, I was born into this male-dominated society, and consequently, from the very moment I began forming thoughts, they formed in a decidedly male-centered way. My "education" at home with my mother, at school, on my neighborhood playgrounds, and at church, all placed males in the middle of the universe. My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ...

For Colored Girls: Seeing Red

After being very vocal about being Tyler Perry a less than favorite choice to direct an adaption of Ntozake Shange's "For Colored Girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf" or better known now as "For Colored Girls", I watched the movie feeling empty. I've seen myself in the colors of orange and green . I've empathized with the browns in my life. I know yellow and I know blue. Then there is RED . I could spend time examining the issues I had with the movie. I could also celebrate the power of dynamic words used to express OUR stories of various hues, depths, and struggles. The color red, Janet Jackson's character, disturbed me. This development of this character reeks of Perry's own personal agenda. He wanted to talk about the down low situation. He wanted to bring in HIV and so he did.  In spite of Janet's less than wonderful acting abilities, I was interested in how her story would play itself out. I heard about her. Th...
