#OpMississippi

Mississippi has warped us back to the 1900's. It used to be illegal for women to vote. It used to be illegal for blacks to vote. It is 2016! We have interracial couples. It is a thing. It is not a fad. We are all mixed blood. I am not gay, but I support their efforts for equality. Who wants to feel like they are being left out? No biblical law, or man made law should be able to circumvent current logic. Old testament says to kill all the gays. This had to be changed. Now we must change with the times. By Mississippi logic maybe Apple should pull out of the state. Sounds reasonable. Hollywood too. Disney too. Money is green. Period. #OpMississippi has begun. They will pay for their decisions. Change is coming.

Hurricane Katrina 10 years later

Good day New Orleans, Mississippi  and other affected areas. Recently Beyoncé made a video that touched on Hurricane Katrina. This upset a lot of people.  The comments ranged from racist charges from the right to what took so long and why did she bring that up again? I have news for you. If you have a problem as big as Hurricane Katrina not talking about it and trying to forget about it won't make the pain go away. As a matter of fact the pain never goes away. Think about it. All of us have experienced loss. It could be rape, murder, A.I.D.S., finances, or a number of other woes. Even rich people have issues. I was in the Post Office a few years back. A group of total strangers just out of nowhere started talking about their experiences during Hurricane Katrina. They were of all colors and backgrounds. These people were experiencing what the military refers to as PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Talking about your inner demons with someone is the only way to truly heal. Think about it. Almost 11 years later and Hurricane Katrina seems as fresh as it happened yesterday. Heck in New Orleans East some parts still look like 2005. I will pray for all of you whether you like it or not. I will pray that we can get over ourselves with our manufactured hatred and see that we are more similar than different. Thanks for reading. #Eracism

My comment on Beyoncé and her new video concerning Hurricane Katrina.

Henry Glover anyone? I guess we forgot. Danziger bridge shootings anyone? I guess we forgot about that too. Gretna Police pointing shotguns on Orleans residents on the GNO bridge? Guess we forgot about that. Idiots in Old Algiers Point shooting people being told by the Coast Guard to go by the river and wait for a boat to take them to safety. They even bragged on camera about shooting blacks that meant them no harm. Not one of them went to jail. Hurricane Katrina was horrible for all involved. It also showed how far we have yet to go. Orleans residents were refugees that were looting. St. Bernard residents that were doing the same exact thing were just getting shampoo for their hair? The Mayor even let the tourists skip the line when rescue finally arrived 5 days later. 5 days later?? In America???? The richest country in the Universe? While most cops did an admirable job under the worst circumstances, there were many bad apples. Cops stealing DVD'S out of Wal-Mart. Cops stealing cars (brand new mind you) and abandoning their posts. Was Beyoncé wrong? No. She is late to the party. Nina Simone anyone? Music is supposed to make you talk. Make you think. Make you comment. Get a reaction. Guess what? The experiment worked.

Amadou Diallo & how Mayor Giuliani fumbled the football. 41 shots! Courtesy of The Washington Post

In the wake of the death of an unarmed African immigrant named Amadou Diallo -- killed in a hail of 41 bullets fired by New York City police -- and a state court's decision not to convict the officers involved in the man's death, Giuliani said the officers followed "standard procedure." Yes, "standard procedure" left a man with no criminal record and no weapon with no life left in his body. But according to Giuliani -- while still mayor and ostensibly the boss of a police force with its share of known problems and a series of high-profile shooting deaths and alleged police abuses in its record--  that was not something about which to be alarmed.

What did slavery/segregation do to blacks after 400 years?

Don't do drugs. Figure it out!

Single women. Agree? Disagree? Discuss.

A popular author named Shawn James wrote an essay, and it's got people talking!!

ESSAY: WHY REAL MEN AVOID SINGLE MOTHERS
By Shawn James

1. Never Available. A single Mother’s schedule is never open. Single mothers are the kind of women to always cancel dates at the last minute. Something always gets in the way of a man spending time with her. It’s hard to have a relationship with her because she’s never there.

2. YOU are NOT a priority. Usually in a relationship the man winds up DEAD LAST. Behind, her kids, her job, the car, the kitchen sink, the stopped up toilet. Even the dog gets more attention and affection than a man involved with a single mother. Any man who gets involved with a single mother winds up a fifth stringer in a relationship. And he rarely ever gets called up to play.

3. Thinks the world revolves around HER and ONLY HER. A single mother is one of the biggest narcissists on the dating scene. She often thinks that a man has to drop everything in his life to be part of hers and her kids. They’re so selfish they don’t think a man has needs, wants or a life of his own. He’s just supposed to be there to give her everything she wants in life.

4. Emotionally Unavailable- Most Single mothers cannot form an intimate connection with a man because her feelings are invested in other people. Usually her primary focus is on her children.

In addition to dedicating herself to her children, most single mothers have given their hearts to someone else- their children’s father. And those feelings she still has for him will always prevent her from getting closer to you. There will always be some distance between a single mother and the new man in her life.

5. The ex/ Baby Daddy is ALWAYS THERE. A man just doesn’t deal with a single mother. He deals with her ex or her baby daddy as well. And this guy is always hovering around like a helicopter looking to c*ckblock you. Some of these guys still think they have a shot at getting back with her. Others just don’t want to see her happy. A lot of these dudes want to f!ght over her.

Seriously, it’s a game they’re playing with each other. And they’ll be playing that game with each other until their children turn 18 or 21. Head for the exit. It’s just not worth dealing with this fool and his insecure bulls**t.

6. The kids are working AGAINST YOU When dealing with a single mother you also deal with Kids. Kids who still in their little heart of hearts think that Dad will come back and love them.

Seriously, GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE.

7. Those kids will HATE YOU. They will act out to keep you from getting closer to mommy. They will make accusations against you to get you in trouble. Again, it’s just not worth dealing with the bulls**t to get with a female. There are four billion women in the world. You can find a quality female who doesn’t carry all this baggage or give you this much grief.

8. Entitled attitude Single mothers think because she had a baby out of wedlock the world owes her EVERYTHING. And she thinks she’s the one who deserves the best. Even though she’s usually collecting welfare, food stamps, or child support, in eyes she’s still supposed to be treated like she’s a queen because she popped a kid out of her v*gina.

In their deluded distorted vision of the world Men are still supposed to take her out to the finest restaurants and buy them lots of expensive stuff. And he’s supposed to take care of her kids too, buying them whatever they want while taking a blind eye to their bad behavior.

9. Distorted self-image Single mothers still thinks she’s as sexy like she was before she had a baby. Only she doesn’t understand how her body has changed. In some cases for the worse.

Single mothers are the type to try to squeeze themselves into sexy outfits like low-rise jeans and cropped T-shirts to show off their belly button, not seeing the muffin top and stretch marks squeezing out over the top of their pants. They’re the type to stuff themselves into slinky spandex dresses, (not aware of that gut, and the cellulite on their asses) and head out to the club. She thinks men are supposed to run up on her offering to buy her drinks. And because a few thirsty simps step to her, she thinks she’s still got it. But the only people who wants what she has to offer are scavengers at the bottom of the social scene.

10. Always the victim. Single Mothers never take responsibility for their actions. The situation they’re in is always the fault of that “no good man”, “these damn kids” their mother or someone else. They never take any time to do any self-examination or make any efforts to change their lives. They’re still looking for some Rich Incredibly Handsome Man™ to put on a cape and play Captain Save-A-H**™, sweep her off her feet and take her out of the troubling situation she helped make.

11. Jekyll & Hyde Personality. A single mother will be the sweetest thing when a man first dates her, but a few months into a relationship she turns into a NUTJOB. A man will usually see glimpses of this when she chastises her kids when he first meets them. During that meeting she’ll yell at them and bully them to get them to act right while praising a man like he’s an angel.

It’s all an act. Heaven will turn into He** around the six month mark.

Once a single mother gets a man settled into her life it’s not common for her to start verbally abusing him and mocking him as she projects all that pent-up rage from those previous failed relationships onto him. And it’s usually around this point that most men realize why this woman is single and why it’s time for him to hit the exit door.

12. Drama Queen. Because a single mother always sees herself as a victim of society, she’s always talking about her problems. And she always has a new trouble to bring everyone. There’s never a good day in the life of a single mother because there’s always some new crisis about to emerge in her life.

The reason single mothers need the drama is because it makes them feel important. It makes people pay attention to them. And when Captain-Save-A-H**™ is doting on them trying to solve their problems it makes them feel an artificial sense of value. They need that value to deflects people’s attention from how pathetic their lives actually are.

Manipulative In most cases, a single mother has no interest in a man she’s dating. In a lot of cases she’s just using a guy as a pawn.

13. In most cases she’s dating to make her Baby Baddy jealous. Deep down in her heart of hearts she believes that if she’s seen with someone else who sees her as valuable that he’ll see her as valuable and take her back.

In other cases when she’s not trying to get a rise out of Baby Daddy she’s playing the sympathy card™ using a guy to get gifts, free dinners and free drinks out of him. To a single mother, The men in her lives are just human ATM machines where she whispers a sweet nothing in his ear like a PIN number and money comes out of his wallet.

And because she’s a drama queen who loves to play the victim, the Single mother plays to men’s emotions to get them to react in the way she wants. It’s not common for a single mother to tell her man man about her baby daddy so he can go f!ght him. Or pit two baby daddies against each other. Many a man has wound up either dead or in prison because a single Mother played the victim card™.

14. Dishonest. A single mother is a LIAR. It’s how she gets what she wants. It’s how she manipulates people. It’s how she takes care of her kids. It’s how she survives in this world.

Single mothers lie. And they LIE ALL THE TIME. They lie to men about their age, their height, their weight, how many kids they have, the job they do.

On top of the lies they tell to others They lie to themselves. They lie about about how beautiful they are. They lie telling themselves they’re still a catch. They lie telling themselves they still have a chance with a good man. They lie telling themselves that their lives will be happily ever after one day.

The horrible truth is without those lies most of those single mothers would realize how pathetic their lives are. How they have no options in the dating scene. That they’re at the bottom of the barrel in the dating scene and the only men who want them are pathetic Manginas and thirsty Simps.

15. Carries Baggage, baggage and more baggage A single mother has more issues than Time and Newsweek combined. And when she’s looking for a man, she’s not looking for an equal caring partner. She’s looking for a Pullman Porter™ to take care of her kids, and clean up her messes with her childrens’ father. Brothers, don’t let yourself get sized up for the white jacket and the bow tie!

Anyway, dealing with a single mother is like walking through a minefield. After several months of being involved with her, it leaves a man anxious and tense because he doesn’t know where to step that won’t lead to an explosion that k!lls him.

That’s why Real Men avoid single mothers like disease.

Real men understand life is too short to put up with someone’s drama and their emotional baggage. We only have a limited time on God’s Earth and who wants to spend it being a Pullman Porter cleaning up someone else’s messes. As I stated before in a previous blog, let that woman take her run over Jimmy Choos and clean up her own mess. She made her bed, now let her lie in the wet spot.

Don’t date single mothers and don’t waste your time with them. There are four billion women in this world. If you’re patient, you’ll find a good one.

  

Why #BlackLivesMatter A Perspective

     In America #AllLivesMatter but if you had a sore or a tumor on your body do you treat your whole body, or do you tend to the wounded area? You tend to the wound in hopes that the disease won't spread. We are in a crisis situation where black men especially are becoming an endangered species.
     In America black women are fourth class citizens, and are treated as such. This has been going on for centuries. Have things gotten better since slavery and segregation? Yes they have. Is there more work that needs to be done? Yes. Segregation only officially ended about 50 years ago, so we aren't that far removed from racism (which still exists to this day), bigotry, job discrimination, unfair mortgages  (Countrywide anyone), unfair rates on automobiles, unfair pay raises, etc......
     Just like a wound on your body you find it, diagnose it, treat it, and hopefully you get better. America has several terminal cancers. We know what they are. Ignoring a bloddy nose won't make it stop bleeding. The bigger issue is some people like to pick at the wound. They fly Confederate flags & then claim that it is about heritage. What heritage? The heritage of owning slaves?
     I agree 100% that #AllLivesMatter but we need to focus on all the unarmed killings going on in the black community. If the #thugs run out of blacks to kill guess who they are coming for next??? Haters gon hate. Killers gon kill. Now let us focus on the #BigPicture Whites killing whites. Blacks killing blacks. Cops killing blacks. We need to fix this before it is too late. BTW. Stop blaming video games & rap music. Last I checked none of those existed during segregation, but you still had cops killing blacks & making bodies disappear (freedom riders anyone)
     Together let's fix this. Feel free to let me know uf you want to donate to fixing these issues. Thanks in advance. #BlackLivesMatter #WhiteLivesMatter #AllLivesMatter
