You know I really love you and I’ve been extremely depressed because we have not been able to maintain and keep contact. I know or I think you are only doing what I asked you to do but sometimes I have to honestly say I think the barely existent us is a joke, i’d like to know if it’s always been a joke or did it just happen to be one this time. You are doing what I asked you to do and I am extremely proud of you but I can’t help but say I’ve been extremely depressed since we made that decision. Anyway if we never never never meet again I’d like to say whether it was a joke or not I love you, I love you, I love you I’ve never met a man like you,
BUT
But, as I got to thinking about my past life it hit me that men and women sometimes don’t see things the same way I may be passionately in love with you when you touch me, when you hold me i feel things that I’ve never felt before but I cant make you love me and I suppose that’s the strange thing about passion and love sometimes one can feel it and the other can’t and sometimes I ask God Why and How can my body explode from the tips of my toenails to the top of my head and the other person feels nothing.
I mean nothing or they only feel it until their orgasm is over. I don’t know my love but I love you and I have loved you passionately for years but I’m over it the passion has turned to blah and what made me change was the thought of the following experience:
The Story and I Mean the Story
I met Mr. Blank in November the thing that struck me about him was that he was really honest, sincere, tall, and decent looking. I also did not have a car at the time and he seemed willing to let me use his car when I needed. His laid back attitude towards life was just awesome and he happened to be well off he told me he used to be a millionaire and would be again and I’m sure he is back on his feet again by now.
While the sex with him was not great he was hung up on technique and I am incredibly turned on by intelligence and he was sort of dense in terms of politics world affairs, the economy etc. and was extremely narcissistic. His other qualities made me set the goal of doing one thing pleasing him, squeeze I would say to my self as we made love, move I would say to myself as we had sex at that time I felt my skill as a lover was directly related to keeping him and i was rewarded by lets have sex before our date, then after day after day for several months. As the months progressed I began to notice everything that was in his life was a woman and done by a woman, a young women and it began to slightly irritate me to the point where I was sick of trying to work with sex to keep him.
Well one night or early morning he hears a knock on the door at about three am. I hear loud noises a woman crying saying I love you I love you and all he’s saying is get out. I’m like thinking I can’t believe this. He comes back in the bedroom says something and its like nothing happened and I mean nothing happened.
We have sex wake up the next morning and its the same drill but slowly I start noticing things a brush, and the biggest thing was oil in the bathroom like oils you might buy from a vendor in big bottles, I look up and notice burnt candles on the bureau and I know that’s not right. It ends rather blandly he buys me some yogurt from the store its bad and all I say to him is this is awful he starts to quiver and shake and I’m like oh my God I feel like the ex-wife he told me about he’s literally groveling. It ends with a rather fierce fight on the phone I have to tell a relative of his a secret because he has to have someone to talk to and watch out for him. He finds out and tells me you’ll never get any of this dick again and I’m like OK fine.
In any event I say this to say that earlier this week as I ruminated on how madly in love I was with another human being. Oh how passionately so passionate that my stomach hurt, that I cried every moment that I could. I thought about the relationship I had with the man above and how this woman was knocking on the door saying I love You I love and he was literally throwing her out and fucking me without giving her a second thought. I thought Girl you have to stop this man is not calling you that much, only calling when you call back and never initiating a call after the CONVERSATION. He cares nothing for you, for your stomach to continue to hurt like this and for you to continue to be passionately in love with someone who’s probably fucking six other women is ridiculous. Needles to say after thinking about this the affair I was having with myself was literally over. I still think that he’s fabulously intelligent, fabulously endowed, fabulously mannerable and we have mad things in common but it does not seem to be happening. I’ll hang around a little longer because something is telling me to but my stomachs not hurting anymore. Maybe it was just a moment a sweet moment:
Ernest Holmes writes throughout the book Creative Mind and Success that positive thinking is not enough when individuals try to live a life of happiness and prosperity. They must actually subscribe to the concept of already believing. You must not pray that you obtain something. You must thank God and the Universe for giving it to you and actually believe that you already have it, this could be called the Ferrari concept.
The Ferrari Concept
David imagines himself as rich successful person with a Ferrari. After reading about the already believing concept, the concept of actually almost pathologically believing that you already possess what you desire. David gets into his 1972 Pinto and imagines that it’s a Ferrari. David really believes that he’s drving a Ferrari. As he’s drivinhg his Ferrari down the street he sees a beautiful woman in a cherry red convertible and knowing that he’s in his Ferrari and what girl can resist a Ferrari he manages to catch up with her at a stop sign and asks confidently out of his Ferrari if he could have her phone number. She looks at David like is this a joke but confidently David gives her a gleaming I’ve got a Ferrari smile and she sees how cute and adorable he is and gives him her phone number. After this triumph, David decides to get himself a little breakfast, he thinks to himself I can’t possibly drive my Ferrari through McDonalds I’m going to have my breakfast somewhere where my car won’t stick out so much, so David drives his Ferrari to the Ritz Carlton and orders the continental buffet. As he is sitting thoroughly enjoying the continental buffet David looks around and sees a major director/producer for a movie. He overhears the director talking about an editing problem with the script and how he can’t find anyone to translate the script from the foreign language it was written in. Well the director is talking so loud the lady two tables down from David says shush. The director guy looks at David and smiles, David smiles back and says I’m sorry I overheard your conversation but I am fluent in the languages that you spoke about, the director is thrilled and says if you can do what you say you can do I’ll pay you $300,000 dollars if you can do it in three days. David is now officially Ferrari guy, as he walks to his car it wont start the Director happens to be walking out as David is going back in to the Ritz to retrieve the phone he left and David mentions his car won’t start Director guy in a trusting spirit says I’ll take you where you need to go the Valet pulls up with director guys red Ferrari and promptly takes him to his date with convertible girl who is overwhelmed and takes David home.. THE END
The above is Ernest Holmes illustration that it is not enough to hope you must actually have the already believing attitude because with that attitude comes the benefits of already having, people are not always responding to what others have but the attitude that they embody because of having.
When discussing the law of attraction sometimes it’s sold as a Manna from Heaven concept that if one absolutely positively controls their thoughts only the sun will shine. The truth is bad things happen to all people even the fabulous and the successful. Kornack in expounding on the Science of Getting Rich has written about a concept called energy redirection. According to Kornack bad things will happen to good people and people engaged in the Law of Attraction must redirect their actions to deflect and compensate even over compensate for the bad. When people are faced with the loss of loved ones, insurmountable natural disasters and other incidents it may seem odd to tell people to redirect their energies even if it is the right path to take for the sooner energy is redirected the sooner one can continue to live a wholesome and positive life.
If one has any doubt that it can be done under even the most trying circumstances, one should look at the holocaust survivor Victor Frankl author of the book Mans Search for Meaning. Frankl writes about his experiences in a Nazi concentration Camp. One of the key lessons to be learned from Frankl that supports the concept of the Law of Attraction is that positive thinking in the most trying circumstances is enough to make amazing miracles happen. Frankl states that he believes he was a holocaust survivor because of his ability to redirect his thoughts and constantly focus on what his ideal life would be. He would actively see himself teaching classes before students in a university, he would imagine himself seeing and doing things outside of the concentration camp and amazingly he watched others marched to the gas chambers but never him. Frankl states in the book that he felt the main difference between holocaust survivors in his camp versus those who went to the gas chambers was their mind set or in current day terms their use of the law of attraction. Frankl gives an example of people who would set dates in their minds for when they would get out of the concentration camp, these individuals would be happy and upbeat saying I know we are going to be out by this date, they would stay safe and not be led to the gas chambers but inevitably when the date came and went and the individuals had given up they would be chosen to go to the gas chambers. Frankl implies that even in impossible conditions the thoughts of these individuals determined whether they would live or die. Frankl did survive the concentration camp to go and live the mental vision he developed inside the concentration camp.
Sometimes individuals find themselves in impossible conditions and must use the concept of transmutation or energy redirection. Victor Frankl has proven that energy redirection can be done successfully in even the most difficult of situations.
Barack Obama has brought International prestige and acclaim to the United States with the winning of the Nobel Peace prize. While the prize was shocking to many, if the citizens of United States would close their eyes and remember why they voted for him they would realize that he deserves and earned the Nobel Peace Prize. I can not say that I necessarily agree or even know clearly the rationale of the Nobel committee for awarding the Nobel Peace prize to Barack Obama but I can articulate why I think he deserves the prize.
Barack and Michelle Obama deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for first of all being able to transcend themselves. In a world that frequently says you can’t and in a country that had never had a President of color The Obama’s said “Yes We Can”. They said Yes We can and Did. Barack Obama did not come from a two parent home with Daddy throwing him up to the sky every night, Barack Obama even mentions that he comes from a home where people may have told him they were scared of black men because he was raised by his caucasian grandmother. President OBama’s history and his subsequent accomplishments are a beacon of light to every child around the world who experiences controversies and problems in their lives. The ability of Barack Obama to overcome himself and his environment is a world class accomplishment, Nobel Prize worthy because one of the hardest things for people to do is to overcome themselves. Many great thinkers have written about this Napoleon Hill, recitations of the words of Jesus and others.
Barack Obama deserves the Nobel Prize by helping to prove to the world that the United States is not full of racists who hate black people and that the notion that an American Dream is possible for all is a reality not a notion for whites only. In a sociology class I learned about the third generational theory that all European racial groups who come to the United States can meld into the fabric of the United States and eventually become white or plain American, whereas people of color Asians, Blacks, Latinos, were subsequently out of luck and could never really melt because of their race into an American characteristic. Barack Obama and the United State shattered this myth by voting for him as President by actually implementing the words of Martin Luther King “not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”. The various races of the United States gave Barack Obama a mandate. Barack Obama was not a president installed by force, given to the United States by some International Super Power he was democratically elected by the American people who said that we don’t care about race anymore just someone willing to work for our interests.
As for the significance of Barack Obama post election we the American People seriously hope that he will use the slogan YES WE CAN to solve our problems as well as take the attitude of YES WE CAN to the world and help solve their problems. As for what has gone wrong with the Presidency up to know, by and large Obama and the Democrats refuse to ignore the voices that did not elect them. The only way Obama can keep his promises is to ignore the voices of dissension and keep a straight path and fulfill his promise.
Sometimes people get so embroiled in their intragroup relationships and communications they forget that there is a whole world that is not in their group or their clique. They surround themselves with people that think the same way, act the same way, and only amplify their small view of the world. This is the conudrum of David Letterman and his Clique of Bitches. As an African American I have frequently run into individuals who only live in a certain social class who are used to saying certain things, believing certain things and verbally exclaiming very damaging stereotypes about poor and struggling blacks that in most cases simply are not true.
When Letterman cavalierly announced that he was sleeping with the women who worked for him and basically said, so what. Letterman revealed that he was hanging within a clique that I entitle the Clique of Bitches. I am not calling the women bitches but I am willing to bet that in his mind, in the minds of his associates and the men that he surrounds himself with, they think of women as bitches to be thrown away used and in the least a functional urinal. The caveat with Letterman was that in his mind he told himself just like the jock tells the virgin, everybodys doing it. Every man who is able to has a clique of bitches. Letterman told himself everyone’s sleeping with their staff not just in his industry but even the mom and pop waitresses are sleeping with pop. So he cavalierly announced that he had slept with his staff and made a two million dollar old fool out of himself.
Personally I find it disturbing that a man who has managed to make forty million dollars a year did it without having to possess a shred of sophistication or knowledge of the outside world. David Letterman revealed that in this mean society we live in that there are some men who only believe the only way a woman can get a job is on her back or her knees, and judging by the attitude towards his staff he assumes that women like it. He naturally assumes that women are giving free sex to a sixty-two year old man because they sexually desire him not because they need or want a job or the money. The sixty million dollar Larry King question of Letterman’s past female employees is DID YOU LIKE IT? . I hazard to guess not much. Please don’t forget to follow me on twitter blackhippychick
While the United States faces amazing obstacles that the president inherited from the previous administration, unemployment, foreclosures, bank closures, and social upheavals the president of the United States has demoted himself to the President of Chicago, winging him up is Oprah Queen of the world. One wonders if the bid for the Olympics is a true desire for the city of Chicago or just a power play to see if Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama can be crowned King and Queen of World Influence.
While Oprah and Barack seek to be anointed King and Queen of the world ie. First Black President of the United States and Richest Black woman in the world , one wonders why the concept of solving very real problems in the city they call home is one challenge that they seem not to be too interested in solving. Currently Barack Obama seems to be not too interested in solving Americas problems but getting the Olympics to Chicago, just like he did not seem to be too interested in solving Chicago’s problems but being president of the United States .
The Quest for the Olympics seems to be very fake and shallow when there are young men and women beating each other to death on the streets of Chicago.
The quest for the Olympics seems to be a facade when a cold winter is approaching and there are individuals who may not have heat to heat there homes in Chicago or in Barack Obama’s case the United States.
These are problems that effect all cities not just Chicago but these are problems that Chicago seems not to be interested in taking care of. To the King and Queen of the World the very real problems of Chicago do not exist for they are essentially saying to the poor of Chicago “LET THEM EAT THE OLYMPICS”
Finally the caveat in the Chicago quest for the Olympics is that they are not that major of a city. For some of the Olympians this will be there first and only trip to the Olympics. Honestly now where would you want to be in the summer of 2016 in the mean streets of Chicago or on a Sunny beach in RIO. Ask the fallen flight of RIO to Paris where they would have rather been. RIO to PARIS. Straight Shot………..
As the world watches and debates over Roman Polansky and his recent arrest over a 30 year old child rape charge, it is becoming pretty obvious that Roman Polanski was part of a clique, it could be a wild clique that drinks smokes pot and has sex with underaged girls with their consent, but it’s not. It’s becoming pretty obvious that Roman Polanski is part of a clique that emotionally ravages, rapes, and preys on underage children. This is increasingly looking like a Hollywood clique that ravages women and innocent children. The recent revelations of Mackenzie Philips just confirms the disgraceful behavior of this Hollywood clique and makes it imperative that Roman Polanski give society their justice.
The reaction of some in the international community and in the film community is rapidly giving credence to the conservative cries that the entertainment industry is filled with libertines and there are some foreigners who don’t share our world view. The name that is frequently mentioned as being outraged about Roman Polanski being arrested is Woody Allen.
Connecticut Magazine writes the following:
The Mia Farrow-Woody Allen relationship first exploded in January 1992, when Farrow found photos of her adopted daughter (13), Soon-Yi Previn, posing naked in Allen’s New York City apartment. Later that year, in August, Allen was accused of molesting and sexually assaulting his 7-year-old adopted daughter, Dylan, at Farrow’s Bridgewater home.
Initially, the complaint was filed with New York authorities, but they took no action. Paul Williams, a Caseworker of the Year for New York City’s Human Resources Administration, tried to bring the case to Family Court (against the orders of his superiors) and was fired for “unethical conduct.” Seven months later he was reinstated as a supervisor, a position he still holds.
While Woody Allen was not convicted he did marry his very young adopted daughter. This is scary stuff and these are scary people.
Next the current Prime Minister of France Sarkozy, isn’t he the one who divorced his wife in office and brought his swim suit model mistress into the presidential home. This is not behavior we want to Model in the United States. We respect ourFirst Ladies and sometimes they are the deciding factor in the election of their husbands. We respect and revere women and children in the United States and to not convice a child rapist is against everything the United States stands for ask the ones in jail.
Francois Mitterand argues that Roman Polanski was a holocaust victim and therefore should walk on the charges on drugging, sodomizing, and raping a 13 year girl he said he wanted to photograph. To make the argument that just becasue someone was a holocaust victim is just as strange as letting the nationstate of Israel terrorize the Palestinians . It is unfortunate the Holocaust happened but it is not an excuse to go on a crime spree.
As for the others I am no aware of the others defending Roman Polanski, my only hope is that it’s not Quentin Terrintino because I absolutely love him and may have to stop watchingif I belive the pro-women movie maker supported the rapist Polanski.
Finally, I think the countries who do support this rapist should be evaluated by the UN for how they treat women and children in their countries. Rape is a human rights issue.

As a woman of African descent and the mother of a teenager, the plight of Caster Semenya has driven me to literal tears. Semenaya, the South African athlete teased all of her life for being “boyish” but possessing female genetalia overcame the teasing and the digs by getting lost in an interest and a sport to become the best in her field. Then after breaking “WORLD” records jealousy and envy of women who were not particularly feminine themselves and probably had been called “boyish” also as they were growing up made accusations that Semaenya was not a female but a male.
In the so called Western Civilization an eighteen year old is still a teenager who is developing with extremely fragile emotions, however the same theories on child development reserved for children of Western Descent were not used when relating to a child of a third world country. It is my understanding that brutal disregard was made for Semenya’s feelings and four hours before she was to compete, it was announced that she may not be a female but a male. Instead of doing what the announcers expected her to do, walk off in embarrassment, proudly she competed and broke a world record like her male counter part Usain Bolt who literally left his competiters in the dust breaking his own record. Many joked on twitter they say Semenya is a man, then Usain Bolt must be an alien, with the climate that we are in I’m surprised the committee did not move to say that blacks were not quite human.
The case of Semenya brings up the question do Westernized countries really want to compete against third world athletes and world athletes or do they want to make athletic competition a clubby club like affair for persons born in the western world. As for Semenaya and her gender she believes that she’s a woman, she has even offered to pull her pants down and show she’s a woman, her birth certificate states that she’s a woman so on the World stage this should be enough. There are places where people have no knowledge of x chromosomes and y chromosomes they just know what’s between their legs. This should be good enough, furthermore if one woman is required to be certified as a woman all women should be required to be certified as women who wish to compe with this woman, bring them all in if what’s between apersons legs is not good enough. (crude but true)
The arrest by Henry Louis Gates by police for disorderly conduct after being accused of breaking into his own home is quickly being associated in my mind with incidents such as the Katherine Johnson case where police wrongly kicked the door down in her home after thinking she was a drug dealer killing her and lying to cover the killing up by saying she had a gun. The profession of police is quickly becoming like other professions where results are not measured and one can readily blame those you are supposed to serve for why there is an extreme need for your services, ie. in some cases educators blame children for not learning when they are given checks for performing the service of teaching. The profession of policing is quickly becoming the profession of getting a check and doing anything and saying anything to make sure that check is collected and not protecting.
The irony about Henry Louis Gates and his situation is that his door was jammed in, indicating that at some point a real person had actually tried to break into his house and no one was around. A reasonable human being and police officer would have noticed this and showed some concern after Mr. Gates showed ID and offered to file a police report. Instead after Mr. Gates showed ID to the police officer, the police officer called for backup which indicates the officer thought he was being handed a fake ID or did not believe that Henry Louis Gates lived there. Therefore when Henry Gates entered the porch of his home the police charged him with a trumped up charge of disorderly conduct violating Gates Rights to be secure in his own home a fundamental constitutional right.
More and more the charge of disorderly conduct is becoming skewed with a United States Citizens right to protest, with their rights to freedom of speech, and in the Gates case to be able to reside peaceably in their own home. The charge of disorderly conduct is increasingly being used to substitute for disagreeing with the police which is not disorderly. The charge of disorderly conduct is literally rendering American citizens to the role of slaves and the police as overseer who have too much discretion to use this claim when Americans may be tired, hungry, and appaled by the treatment that is being meted out to them by the “authorities”.
WEB Dubois went to the grave lamenting the compromises, the shucks and the jives and the betrayal of Booker T. Washington to Black America. WEB Dubois attributed the long journey from slavery to several years of equality and freedom back to inequality and the Jim Crowe Era to Booker T. Washington. According to C. Vann Woodward as blacks left slavery they began to walk hand and hand with white men and shared a vision of equal pay for equal work and then came along Jim Crow ie. separate but equal.
As we look at the confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor one can not help but parallel Obama’s decision to nominate Sotomayerr with Booker T. Washington’s decision to advocate for separate but equal like Washington did in the Atlanta Speech. Obama’s decision to nominate Sotomayor can only hurt African Americans even if she was nominated by a black president. Sotomayor has a record of ruling against blacks who have been patently and overtly discriminated against. While the case of the white firefighters who she ruled against took center stage. The case of African Americans with obvious slights and who had been overtly discriminated against has been ignored by the media, and the all white senate. One could only wonder if Sotomayor gets an award and Kudos for ruling against black folks. As the beat goes again as In the Clarence Thomas case a persons race trumps the content of their character when they have shown a true contradiction of what the democratic party and frankly the constitution stands for.
Sotomayor has either shown an inability to use her wisdom to come to a just solution for people discriminated against in the following place or she is just plain hates black individuals.
Before we review one of the cases Sotomayor overtly ruled against black people let’s review a discrimination case she ruled for and struck down a lower court decision to throw out.
While eating lunch Yvette Cruz was the recipient of a lewd remark from a fellow coworker on the same level or below her paygrade, in response to the lewd remark she smacked the coworker and they ended up on the floor brawling fighting and rolling around on the floor. Coach pocketbook fired booth employees. In response Yvette Cruz sued them for sexual discrimination, and a hostile work environment. A lower court said that the allegations were vague and threw it out of court. Ms. Cruz appealed and Sotomayor said her charges were legitimate and ruled in her favor.
Now we can discuss the African Americans, in one case involving blacks and Sotomayor, a black couple decided to go on a vacation they purchased advanced airline tickets weeks in ahead to go on their vacation. While boarding they were offered some incentive to give up their tickets because the plane was overbooked, they were on vacation and wanted to quickly get to their destination so they declined the offer. They ended up being the only black couple on the plane. The stewardess walked down the aisle looking at individuals and told the black couple to get off of the plane. They calmy walked off the plane. because the plane was overbooked even though other people on the plane had purchased standby tickets and same day tickets. The couple sued, a lower court ruled in their favor, American Airlines appealed and Sotomayor overturned the decision and told them to go file a a federal complaint their suit was not legitimate.
None of these contradictions have come up as far as I know. Sonia Sotomayor gets a pass and a nod for discriminating against black people. Now that Barack oBama is on Air Force One he probably has forgotten how it feels to ride on a regular plane and its alright to abuse blacks since it will never be him.
Mrs. Phillip Tracy Smith who works at the Center for Disease Control and was referred to the job by my son’s former Godmother. Please have your husband pay the child support. The CDC is trying to make the failure to be a father or support your children a disease you must know this you work there . He needs to pay support. One payment in not six months but seven months is not going to get it.
Do you still live in Ellenwood Georgia the governement claims that you have moved and can’t be served with a warrant or or they like the police can’t find a MAN with a suspended license but happy to beat on women This is the true south.
If the police need more than a clue to find a man driving on a suspended drivers lic. He looks like this just a little more yellow. He scould be in NOrthern California the warrant and the suspended drivers lic. are still valid there.
There was a time when minority people understood that just because they shared the same race with an individual this did not mean that these people shared the same agenda or in the least they were allowed to criticize or critique these minorities and what they represented and stood for. This was never so illustrated as in the contradictions between WEB Dubois and Booker T. Washington. Prior to WEB Dubois’s death he said the following to Ralph Mcgill about Booker T. Washington and Washington’s benefactors:
“I wish you had gone,” I said . “Joel Chandler Harris was a good man, as were his closest associates.”
“No,” he replied, “it was no use. He and they had no question in their minds about the status of the Negro as a separated, lesser citizen. They perhaps were kind men, as you say. They unhesitatingly lived up to a paternalistic role, a sort of noblesse oblige. But that was all. The status slowly had become immutable insofar as the South’s leaders of that time were concerned. Booker T. Washington had helped them rationalize it. I do not think that he meant to do so. But he did. In fact, he put a public stamp of acceptance on it there in your city when he spoke at the Atlanta Exposition…………in that same speech he implicitly abandoned all political and social rights.”
The recent nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the supreme court and the blank check endorsement of her by organizations that are for the advancement of minorities is highly troubling. Sotomoyar has almost publicly avowed in her appeals court decisions that she does not believe that race based discrimination exists for anyone white, black, or green unless maybe you are Hispanic.
The case African Americans should be most aware of is the King vs American Airlines case. The Kings an African American couple who prepurchased tickets were asked to get off a plane because the plane was full. There were other non-black individuals on the plane, some who had purchased their tickets on standby and were not asked to leave the plane. A lower court ruled that this black couple had been discriminated against, upon appeal to Sotomayor the case was overturned and they were directed to file a complaint with a federal agency instead of a lawsuit. This is clearly a racist attitude towards black people. In another case a black nurse was fired from a hospital the nurse claimed it was because of race, age and disability. Sotomayor threw out the race and age claims and allowed the disability claim to precede. The above cases are an obvious case of a potential supreme court judge who is not for African American individuals.
However Sotomayor is loyal and ethnocentric in her decisions regarding Hispanic plaintiffs. In a decision involving a sexual discrimination in a case where one Hispanic made lewd remarks to another Hispanic and the woman who was the target of the remarks hit the man who made the remarks resulting in a fight and both individuals being fired Sotomayor prevailed for the plaintiff the woman who threw the first hit. While the lower courts who ruled against the plaintiff probably thought that the plaintiff should have reported him immediately to management instead of hitting him. Violence in the workplace can be just as harmful as sexual harassment. The contradiction of telling the black non-violent couple to report their problems to a federal agency and ruling for a violent Latino who initiated a fight at work is clearly a contradiction that should be examined.
In addition , the appointment of Sotomayer by President Obama conflicts with his statements that he was highly disturbed with the disparities in drug sentencing by the government as well as to his commitment to his constitutional law background. In. U.S. vs Santa Sotomayor accepted evidence from a search warrant that had been vacated and was seventeen months old. While some would say that a criminal was convicted and the illegal search should stand this is clearly not what the founders of the constitution meant when they made the fourth amendment against illegal searches and seizures. I don’t think the writers of the constitution would think that the kings representatives holding an invalid warrant should have the right to knock someones door down. I don’t have to be a constitutional scholar to figure this one out.
While liberals are rejoicing at the appointment of Sotomayor by Barack Obama, they should be mindful of the fact that Sotmayor is a protege of the First George Bush who appointed Clarence Thomas and like Clarence Thomas she is Catholic. Clarence Thomas has been a reliable voice against blacks and the little striving man. Sotomayor is probably likely to walk in the shoes of Thomas unless of course if you are Hispanic and Sotomayor may be likely use her Latino wisdom to rule in favor of Latinos; unlike Thomas who has no race loyalty. President Obama is perfectly aware of the fact that Sotomayor was appointed by a republican and considers it a plus, the other plus he has for her is that she was a tough prosecutor. This flies in the face with Obama’s murmurings that he was concerned about persons of certain races and classes treated unjustly by the Justice System. Viewing the video below, one wonders what party Obama represents and if he is a trojan let in by those who so wanted to believe that he was the “Black Hope”
One hundred and five years ago WEB Dubois wrote “The problem of the twentieth century is the color line” As we are well into the dawn of the twenty-first century the problem of the twenty-first century is still the color line. It may be a flipped color line but it is the color line and one should always be mindful of King’s words “not the color of a man’s skin but the content of their character”
While I did not graduate a 4.0 and have been to numerous educational institutions I do have an extremely high IQ, meaning I know how to think critically.
As we prepare for the announcement of a New Supreme Court Justice the writing is on the wall that though black women have been part of this country since it’s founding there will not be a black female Supreme Court Justice. The major news outlets refuse to even consider that a black women will sit on the supreme court. However the big signal that a black women will not be the definite choice for the Supreme Court is the huge cover article that the Obama propoganda machine has negotiated on Michelle Obama with Time magazine, hitting the stands the same week that everyone speculates that Barack Obama will announce a new Supreme Court nominee in essence playing the Michelle card to Black women and those who care for them.
While it is refreshing to have a Black First Lady in the White House its becoming increasingly obvious that she has no or does not care to have any sway or bedtime influence on her husband as it relates to black women and their position in the Obama administration. The nonadvocacy of the aspirations of black females in the upper reaches in government have literally been squashed in the Obama administration. For the first time in sixteen years a black women will not hold a cabinet position in a presidential administration.
Unofficially from the Obama administration the cabinet position a black woman holds in the Obama administration is first lady. Never before has a first lady been trotted out and purveyed, what an example to black women, what an accomplishment she got married and managed to not be a welfare queen with ten children. There is a black first lady which is a wonderful and groundbreaking but I think most people expect it comes with having a black president.
The Michelle card has been played in many ways when it was pretty obvious that Barack Obama had no blood ties with the African American descendantsof western slaves, the connection of Obama to West Africa comparative to being Chinese versus Japanese or vice versa, the Obama supporters shouted out that Michelle was a descendant of West African slaves and his children would therefore carry on that legacy. African Americans and those who cared for African Americans thought that Michelle Obama was the prescription to the fact that Obama’s descendants were never enslaved and Obama would essentially be stealing the legacy of African American heritage to become president of the United States and to indicate that there was a new Nirvana of racial love in the United States.
What Obama’s administration as indicated by his one black cabinet appointee a position held by this black at the beginning of the Bush II administration is that Obama of interacial heritage and having gained the right to be president from his white mother’s U.S. citizenship does not identify in his mind, heart, or soul with black people. Obama is black on the outside and white on the inside and feels no loyalty to blacks. Blacks for Obama are a means to an end. This has been a key trait of Obama as politician the strong tendency to bit the hand that feeds him. This is strongly exemplified in the incident of Obama giving a now convicted felon contracts to run a housing project in his disctrict that lacked the very nesscessary ingredient of Heat in icy cold Chicago. When Obama’s constituents called to complain their calls were never returned. More on the Rezko deal can be found here. Obama’s identification with his caucasion side comes out at time with an almost exageratted claim to blackness I have a black wife, I play basketball, I talk slang a self proclaimed wigger is what Obama’s exagerations shout.
In any event the Times article on Michelle Obama at such an oppurtune time can mean only one thing a black women will not be nominated for Supreme Court Justice and if you don’t like it just read the nice Times article on Michelle Obama its so nice to have a black first lady is it not aren’t all of us black women lucky, be grateful for what you have and what you can get righto!!!!!!
African American women have been part of the American Landscape since the founding of our country and probably before. In 1776 the year the declaration of independence was written Phyllis Wheatley wrote the following to George Washington:
To His Excellency
George Washington
Sir,
I have taken the freedom to address your Excellency in the enclosed poem, and entreat your acceptance, though I am not insensible of its inaccuracies. Your being appointed by the Grand Continental Congress to be Generalissimo of the armies of North America, together with the fame of your virtues, excite sensations not easy to suppress. Your generosity, therefore, I presume, will pardon the attempt. Wishing your Excellency all possible success in the great cause you are so generously engaged in. I am,
Your Excellency’s most obedient humble servant,
Phillis Wheatley
1776
George Washington Wrote back the following:
George Washington’s Reply
Cambridge, February 28, 1776.
Miss Phillis,
Your favour of the 26th of October did not reach my hands ’till the middle of December. Time enough, you will say, to have given an answer ere this. Granted. But a variety of important occurrences, continually interposing to distract the mind and withdraw the attention, I hope will apologize for the delay, and plead my excuse for the seeming, but not real neglect.
I thank you most sincerely for your polite notice of me, in the elegant Lines you enclosed; and however undeserving I may be of such encomium and panegyrick, the style and manner exhibit a striking proof of your great poetical Talents. In honour of which, and as a tribute justly due to you, I would have published the Poem, had I not been apprehensive, that, while I only meant to give the World this new instance of your genius, I might have incurred the imputation of Vanity. This and nothing else, determined me not to give it place in the public Prints.
If you should ever come to Cambridge, or near Head Quarters, I shall be happy to see a person so favoured by the Muses, and to whom Nature has been so liberal and beneficent in her dispensations.
I am, with great Respect, etc.
African American women have been nursemaids, housekeepers, teachers, companions, and concubines to slaveowners and their families since the founding of the United States and when some men and women became fed up with the peculiar institution of slavery an African American woman by the name of Harriet Tubman led the wanting and the willing to freedom.
In the year of 2009 it seems strange that with the women’s movement, the immigrant migration, the gay movement, the abortion activists and all other special interests groups that no one is seriously writing about a black justice to the supreme court. Black women are being asked to go the back of the line behind the supplemental interests groups. The same black women who some depend on for their votes are being asked to not only go to the back of the line but to not even attempt to get in the line. Personally I do not know what President Obama thinks of the issue. I do know that this is the first time in sixteen years that a black women has not held a presidential cabinet position which considering that black woman are one of the interests groups that determine a presidential election this is disgraceful.
I do not know what Mr. Obama thinks about at night or even how he thinks of black women. I know that after a dog incident with my neighbors who were an interracial couple the black man of the couple preceded to call me epithets that you could not even imagine whore, bitch, you get the picture and then as my family listened a little closer we heard the white woman of the couple telling him what to say to me. What was so contradictory is he probably believed these words because one morning as I walked my daughter to her 5:30 am bus one day he propositioned me for sex and my son witnessed this from his bedroom window as it happened. As the relationship progressed between our neighbor and this family it ended with the white woman sending her five daughters over to our house daily for us to watch prior to their moving I felt like an aunt Jemima nursemaid. I do not know what messages they sent to their children about black women. Since Obama is a product of a white woman and a black man and raised by a white woman, his grandmother who he openly admits was afraid of black men one wonders what messages his parents and grandparents sent to him about black women. The messages he perceived and received were definitely different than those of the last democratic President Bill Clinton who appointed black women to his cabinet or those of the last President George Bush who did diversity well and gave a black woman the position of Secretary of State and still managed to satisfy all of the various ethnic groups jockeying for a voice. It’s sad to say but our first African American President seems to prefer white women and white men as his power team and this is just not what the U.S. has been about in the last sixteen years. The Obama administration looks like a post Bush Republican Administration all White and though his color is black its pretty obvious he identifies himself as white.
So while I can not read President Obama’s mind I can read his actions towards black women supported by the media hype and illusion. There are articles written about the Obama black women when the honest truth is their is not one single black women in the Obama cabinet. It is also pretty ironic that a black woman former appointed labor Secretary under Bill Clinton manuevered and hee hawed to deprive Hillary Clinton out of votes just so a black man could become president and women of Herman’s race are repaid with not one appointment to the Obama cabinet. This is pretty peculiar.
At this point black women and others who love black women are praying and hoping for a black female supreme court nominee. At times people are so fond of saying that there are no qualified black women for various things this is why we are relegated to various professions or some can’t even grow but I’m here to tell you there are some amazing black jurists out there who are qualified to be supreme court justices.
Leah Ward Sears - She is first on the list because she possess the requisite youth. She also has the depth and the breadth to be a supreme court justice based on her administrative experience. Her biography is as follows from wikipedia:
Judith Rogers is right in the mix but she’s in her seventies. I have heard that Presidents look for nominees in their fifties so they can have possibly thirty years of judicial sway. While her age may not be a deterrent to Obama if it’s not she is definitely the jurists most familiar with isssues before the high court and issues that the United States is currently facing. She has ruled on issues on GITMO and disabilities that have had far reaching consequences and effects. Judith Rogers also holds the seat vacated by Clarence Thomas upon his nomination to the Supreme Court.
Here is her biography taken fromt the court of appeals website: Judge Rogers was appointed to the United States Court of Appeals in March 1994. She had previously served on the District of Columbia Court of Appeals since 1983, becoming Chief Judge in 1988. Following her graduation from Radcliffe College and Harvard Law School, she served as an Assistant United States Attorney in the District of Columbia and subsequently at the Justice Department in the Deputy Attorney General’s Office and the Criminal Division. Then, after serving as General Counsel to the congressional commission on the organization of the District of Columbia, she worked for the Mayor of the District of Columbia on congressional and local legislation. She became the Corporation Counsel for the District of Columbia in 1979 and served until her appointment to the bench in 1983. In 1988, Judge Rogers received a Master of Laws degree from the University of Virginia Law School.

As I attempted to drive into City Hall East for business. I came to the realization that I would not be going into the building because an impromptu slave market had been created in front of city hall and I was not comfortable walking through a throng of men to get to the other side of the street. It was a slave market made up of individuals who appeared to be Hispanic and I assumed illegal immigrants but maybe not.
I was shocked to see this, in the fair city of Atlanta. I had seen numerous scenes of cops literally standing over black and white men who dared to stand in the corner of a door. As a former Atlanta college student who racked up parking tickets as students do, I had witnessed numerous vagrants black and white going to jail for standing on the street too long. I had even witnessed one female judge give the vagrants their rights and tell them they did not have to serve jail time because their rights had been violated. One vagrant preferred to go to jail, I suppose jail served his needs for food shelter and clothing. However most individuals do not want to go to jail for loitering or harassed for loitering and it is not tolerated in this fair state unless you are Hispanic. Atlanta even has signs that say talking to a stranger on the street is illegal.
As I turned to leave the parking lot of the slave mart I saw a black man and said I was shocked at what was going on. He responded that the immigrants were standing there because there were no jobs. I went around the corner and spoke to a lady at a stop light and said I was shocked at what I saw, a literal slave market. She like the black man before her seemed a little peeved that I would ask about the slave mart and said the immigrants are looking for work and the neighborhood was about to go through “big changes” and they were renovating. I did recall seeing a Sothebys real estate sign when driving up from North Avenue in Atlanta but could not put together a slave mart with a Sothebys sign. I suppose it was an unsaid understanding in this neighborhood of the openly gay, vegan, any thing goes community that American men and women do not deserve a fair wage and illegal aliens did not have any human rights . Everything prior liberal individuals had fought for was being thrown out the door for a Sothebys commission. I suppose this is the advent of a new liberalism, an antithesis to the me generation when me literally means the individual and not the overall society in general, me means prosperity not concern for the weaker man. Yes, this is my generation fortunately my mother was slightly older when she had me so I was raised by a 60’s radical not a disco duck.
As I thought about this and also thought about another slave market that I knew about further North of town, it suddenly dawned on me that while Obama had been comparing himself to Lincoln, ironically Obama is facing the same economic pressures as Lincoln did involving labor, literal human bodies, that Lincoln did. I will never forget a passage that I read about in a book called The Strange Career of Jim Crow the passage said something to the effect when slavery was over, white men and black men held hands and jubilantly ran down the hill in joy because they knew that labor was no longer an issue and they both would get paid for their work. Ten years into the millennium the United States has a labor problem again. Republicans are not just undercutting the government by sending their jobs over seas but openly gay, vegan, yoga folks are undercutting the government too by refusing to hire individuals who are willing to work for an honest wage or hire a renovation company with skilled artisans. I suppose it could be said if democrats are getting theirs and republicans are getting theirs why should anyone be concerned, it seems like there is some mystical gravy train that is open to anyone who has half of a brain.
As I returned the next day to take pictures of the slave mart which I did not becuase I did not get their until 10:30 and it had thinned out. I went into the whole foods market and had such a great time at their restaurant. I felt maybe I was being oversensitive to the issue and everything was cool. While sitting at the whole foods restaurant I did notice that every race was hopping on the cheap immigrant labor bandwagon. I watched trucks move in and out of the area with ladders, building materials, windows etc. Again it was accepted that immigrant labor had replaced the labor of men who had not hopped on the capitalist or educational ladder. There is a new slave class in town and they want it. How ironic for the south to completely embrace a new form of sharecropping or slavery. Some things will never change.
While this may seem like a benign issue a way of getting your before someone else does. The honest truth is that this immigrant labor not bound by minimum wage or other requirements can only remake the United States into a third world nation. Either U.S. citizens will join them on the slave mart or they will be in bread lines. The media is toting that more women than men are working this can partially be blamed on illegal immigrants. I am not a racist, I am a realist and based on historical factors if one group undercuts another in terms of what their labor is offered for, the other group seeking an honest wage will be eating dirt at the bottom of a bridge.
There is a Sothebys sign on the one side of city hall and a slave mart on the other side, this is a conflict someone is going to pay a Sothebys price for a home but unfortunately just like the mortgage flippers they will not be paying for the quality of labor or for the honesty of labor. They will live in a house full of negative energy without the knowledge that their home has been renovated by exploited laborers and contributed to honest men enjoying the taste of dirt in their mouths at the bottom of a bridge.
is a website that is a directory of African Americans that all individuals regardless of race may want to follow on twitter. It lists other black twitter users in many other categories. It is also an enlightening view of various African Americans.
Visitors can also add themselves to a directory so they can make themselves easily reachable by other individuals with the same cultural interests.
Since I have last written about Philip Tracy Smith of Ellenwood Georgia. He has contacted me and informed me of the following. He is a Foster Parent and has it good with the Department of Human Services and he has them watching me. He also has it good with the police and has them watching me too. This is really interesting, he was given a Foster Child and is on the child support registry for non-payment and keeps getting his drivers license expired from year to year. In other words while driving this foster child around he could have been stopped by the police taken to jail immediately and the foster child would have had to be picked up at the police station. Furthermore I am still a little disturbed that his wife sent me an email from the Center for Disease Control servers to comment on my blog berating me for wanting Phillip Tracy Smith of Ellenwood Georgia to pay child support. She said essentially that it was just change. Change that he refuses to pay. Furthermore if he continues with the emails and putting notes in our mailbox, in our mail box I will have to get a restraining order against him. I am afraid of him and have been afraid of him since he and I were in the car and he was literally shaking and said he had been at David’s house to pick up his things and David was not there. The next day David was dead, a thirty-two year old man died of an apparent heart attack. I have been afraid of him since then and I don’t want him in our mailbox.
Finally I am very shocked at the Foster Care system to place a child with a man who owes child support in two different states Texas and Georgia. I suppose it does not take as much as I thought it did to be a Foster Parent, just the appearance of goodness. Yes Phillip made a payment, one payment out of an owed seven at this point.
I am suing Vision Works for False Imprisonment as related to the accusation of shoplifting. To reiterate the facts
1. I took my daughters glasses to vision works to be repaired.
2. I left the store and walked directly to my car, pulled my coat off threw it in the back seat, got in the car stuck the key in the ignition, shifted into reverse, by that time an armed security guard knocked on the window and told me he had a video of my shoplifting a pair of glasses at vision works. I knew this was a lie because I had not taken any glasses> I told him I did not take anything. I looked back and was horrified to see that two security trucks had blocked me in. He insisted that I get out of the car. I was horribly afraid considering I knew that I had not or have never shoplifted anything in my life and I was told it was on video, if there was a lie of this magnitude being told anything could happen. I was extremely fearful. I had been blocked in and prevented from leaving the premises of stone crest mall and told that I had taken something that I clearly knew had not been taken.
I did whatever I could think of to show that i did not have anything because the concept that there was a video of me taking something and I had not taken anything made me afraid for my safety. I knew a couple of cases where people had been beaten and killed in shopping malls by security and I did not want this to be me.
I showed that I did not have their possessions, for this I was charged with disorderly conduct, not only was I charged with disorderly conduct but the very security guards who had made the false accusation and had been shown I did not posses anthing proceeded to take my picture and ban me from the premises for disorderly conduct. If this was not enough after about an hour of sitting around the manager of vision works came out, the police man went into my car without permission and went into my coat pocket where my child’s glasses were and the vision works manager had to admit that I had not stolen glasses.
Even after all of this I was taken to jail for disorderly conduct. The mall security and vision works had the ability to intervene and apologize for the accusation but did not.
The indignities persisted, I went to court and the charges were reduced but when I came months later to get a disposition the charged had been changed back to disorderly conduct. However my attorney had explained the circumstances to the judge and he did not assess a fine and my four hours in jail was the payment and I had been released on a signature bond because I had no criminal history . If he had not reduced the charges this court would not have agreed to waive payment. The dispositions were criminally changed.
The attorneys who represented me withdrew from the case after from my perception writing interrogatories that did not take into consideration all that had happened to me.
I was supposed to have ten days to appeal the withdrawal of the attorneys from my case. The judge signed off on it after two- three days. What is happening? The United States is about to become fond again of proselytizing about human rights violations perpetrated by others yet at every stage my rights have been trampled on and I am a United States Citizen
It started with lies and false imprisonment by Stonecrest security guards literally terrorizing me on the word of a vision works employee with a lie that they had me on tape taking something. I have an education. I don’t have a criminal record. The lie part ended with the Vision Works employee stating I did not have anything and walking away.
The court system violated my rights by changing the disposition of my case/ The court system is still further violating me without giving me proper time to answer to paperwork regarding my case. Ten days and the judge signed off in three days how horrible. At this point I cringe whenever I hear anyone from the United States talking about the violation of human rights. I live in the United States and I can tell you that I did not have a fair trial because the disposition was changed, my fourth amendment rights against illegal search and seizure were violated because I was told by an armed guard to get out of my car and I had put all of my things in the car. If I would have had anything there could have been no way of proving it by having me walk back into the mall because I had no pocket book just a coat and a wallet that were off of me at the time. This was clearly an illegal search and seizure if I’m in my car.
I have spoken briefly about race on the blog with the basic statement that as it relates to skin tone for blacks in the United States it’s a losing and a very conflicting game. The issue of skin tone came hurling to the front of my thoughts this Sunday night while exploring Black Planet’s website. They had done an article on P Diddy and his casting call request which read as follows:

After seeing this ad two things occurred to me, Brown and Black girls are not allowed and after meeting all of these requests of height, skin tone and color, and size these girls would only get $35.00 and hour. Looking at this I recalled my conversation with a retired black prostitute formerly married to a retired dead SF police officer. Wow these girls will give sex away for anything she said, they’ll give out sex for a ten dollar crack rock. I used to go to Vegas and make thousands in a weekend, she said, I don’t understand. Diddy’s call and his pay was an insult to dark toned black women as well as an attempt to play all women short in terms of pay and what the going rate for a model is which I hope is more than $35 an hour. The cost of Ciroc Vodka is $30.oo a bottle. 8 bottles of ciroc is $240.00. I would hope these women would regognize that they are worth a great deal more than 8 bottles of Vodka.
In any event this post is not about model pay. It’s about race in the black community.
My first experience with race came at an Air Force Base Fair when my mischievous father challenged our next door neighbor to go to the kissing booth and kiss the “white” women at the kissing booth. Our next door neighbor who was a quiet man who I had hardly ever heard talk was pretty doubtful of the idea but my father egged him and taunted him on so eventually he gave in. They walked over and kissed the woman on the lips and that was it.
The Fallout
I don’t know how it got back to our neighbors wife but I still can remember her coming to our house discussing the issue with my mom. I can hear her loud shrill voice saying the following: As light as I am, and she was very light she was about ten shades lighter than a paper bag and could go easily for Jewish, anyway I remember her saying as light as I am he’s going to have the nerve to go and kiss a white woman. I’m leaving him. I then listened to her talk about his very dark family even his momma. I’m getting a divorce she said and she left him after many years of marriage.
She immediately moved off base and filed for divorce, all because of an innocent kiss with a white woman. “this was an extreme racial reaction probably in response to their private conversations where this man blacker than the silkiest of black cats probably told her in Diddy fashion, baby I love your skin etc. etc. etc. What probably went through her mind was he wants to go even lighter to whiter and she left. Diddy’s casting call is essentially what went through this very light skin women’s mind am I black enough, if he wants me this light he may eventually go over to another race. The very innocent kiss was like a bell in her head. He wants something else. Hypothetically but not realistically she could have been right as one commenter on Black Planet stated Diddy has gone from very dark skin women all the way up to white women and so has 50 cent.
The Reaction
I suppose anyone reading this may wonder how could someone else’s divorce traumatize me. I suppose being a witness to everything that occurred could have traumatized a little girl seeing the kiss, hearing the reaction, and watching the woman move out could have alerted me to the strange nature of race. However this was not all, this was not all. The quiet man who hardly ever spoke was so upset about losing his wife and family that he went to his wifes job, the Pentagon, met her in the parking lot and stabbed her fourteen times with gigantic scissors one more stab and she would have been dead. This was my first real experience with the peculiar nature of race in the United States and it’s consequences.
My first real insight into men like Diddy came with the reading of ablack woman’s autobiography. I thought it was Anne Moody but it’s been so long ago since I read the book I forgot the title of the book but I did not forget the contents. The writer of the book went into detail about what it was like to be black but almost white in the United States. She said she met a man married him and fell in love with him but there was a caveat he did not know she was black. She said she discovered that he thought she was white after they were married when he and his friends started having white women black men parties only. She said she was shocked at the things that she heard black men saying about black women and then when she went with the white women alone she said she was surprised with what they said about the black men. She states they said terrible things. The author of the book finally states that she got fed up with the dinner parties and started screaming my momma is black you better stop talking about black women. I’m black. The reaction was her husband beat her up and threw her down the stairs and kicked her out the house.
On the other hand as a brown woman I have been the victim of being not light enough and not black enough. Personally the men who love dark skin women are the creepiest. They make their discrimination ceremonial. If you are with a group they will have the darker women at the center of attention, and will drip on her every word. A perfect example is in one of John Legend’s live Videos he went out of his way to put a darker skin women on this video. He grinded all over her publicly he treated her like he was really into her and this was the type of woman he liked. Actually at the time his girlfriend was not even black.
While Diddy may be irritating he said what he wanted and we know where he’s coming from, the really irritating ones are the pretenders, pretend you like very dark skin women and then you’re caught in the corner with someone totally different. This is so disappointing.
I have been discussing the Chris Brown and Rihanna beating in a vacuum without knowing the true facts of the incident. There are several things that I have said that have been just wrong and uninformed. Honestly I have been taking my information concerning Chris Brown and Rihanna from the Television Media and not the online media blogs, newspapers etc that I take political news from. However I corrected this today by just being nosy and wondering about the 39 year old woman that it is alleged that Chris Brown had an affair with I found out that the Chris Brown and Rihanna incident is horrific. If everyone is speculating that Chris Brown will one day kill Rihanna the honest truth is he has already attempted to kill her. With that let’s begin the list of what really happened so we can have an intelligent conversation with children about the incident. Every parent in Boston should be ashamed that 50% of their teens believe that Rihanna is at fault for what happened to her.
Here are the supposed Facts that Show Rihanna was in no way responsible for what happened to her.
Fact #1 Chris Brown is Guilty of Attempted Murder
The following two sources are stating that Chris Brown left Rihanna in the middle of the street unconscious bruised and battered.
“He put his hands around her neck and, according to the insider, said, “I’m going to kill you!”
According to the source, the 20-year-old “Disturbia” singer told police that she lost consciousness, and when she awoke, Brown had fled.”
New York Daily News It was the first time she hit the town since cops found her battered, alone on a dark street and willing to identify Brown as her attacker the morning before the Grammy Awards.
According to the E! Online source, “He reportedly exited the car and tried in vain to find the keys, then grabbed Rihanna’s neck and began choking her, saying, ‘I’m going to kill you!’”
There are no gray areas here. If Chris Brown choked Rihanna until she was unconscious and left her in the middle of the street unconscious. He thought he killed her and left her there. This is without a doubt attempted murder. While LA is famous for letting women get killed by superstars ie. Phil Spector and the Actress Lana Clarkson. Rihanna is a huge superstar and the charges of attempted murder should have been attached to Chris Brown’s name.
Fact # 2 Rihanna tried to get out of the car, Chris Brown pulled her back in and beat her.
I am guilty of saying the following about Rihanna could have gotten out the car. According to a New York Daily News report Rihanna did get out the car Chris Brown pulled her back in and beat her.
“They started to argue. She got out of the car. He wanted her to get back in, so he grabbed her. She pulled away. That’s when she’s told people he hit her.”
The Daily News source explained: “She got out of the car. He wanted her to get back in, so he grabbed her. She pulled away. That’s when she’s told people he hit her.”
“If Brown did hit Rihanna early Sunday morning, it might not have been the first time. According to TMZ.com, the 20-year-old pop star told police that Brown had abused her before the weekend attack that reportedly left her bruised and bloodied and that the violence was getting progressively worse. “
Us Weekly magazine also quoted unnamed sources close to Rihanna who claim this isn’t the first time Brown’s beaten and bruised her.
” The problem with that, Greta — well, there are several, but one of them is she told cops he did it to her before and it was escalating violence”
Fact #4 Rihanna is suffering from Battered Wifes Syndrome. “
We all blame Rihanna for going back to Chris Brown but she is suffering from Battered Women’s Syndrome. This syndrome can ultimately end up in her death as it almost did the night of the Grammys. There is no where to go but down. If Rihanna stays with Chris Brown and he’s not locked up he will eventually kill her.
Resources for reading up on battered women’s syndrome can be found here:
Finally I’ve done a paper on the Battered Wife syndrome and the thing that any person needs to know is if a person hits you once in a threatening manner they will hit you again.
I am finished with this issue. I can only pray now.
Hip Hoppers are fond of imitating Gangsters in their videos. Some even imitate the Italian Mafia. However with the recent beating of Rihanna by Chris Brown. Many are questioning the depth and the breadth of Hip Hops ability to be self policing and in the least have the ruthlessness to control star talents such as Chris Brown who not only harm his bottom line when he beats up women but harm the whole industry. Actions such as P Diddy in inviting Chris Brown to his home after Rihannas beating further shed light on the falseness of the ruthlessness facade of toughness and Gangsterism.
If the Black Hip Hop world were truly like the mafia the consequences of beating such a big star and money maker as Rihanna would have resulted in swift justice for Chris Brown such as a broken leg or in the least a black eye. Instead the woman ended up with the black eye almost fueling fire to the homoeroticism rumours swirling around hip hop artists. Furthermore Rihannas mentor though issuing lip service to his disgust concerning the incident seemed to be powerless to do anything substantial before the publicly aired beating or after. The manner in which Rihanna quickly returned to Chris Brown leads me to believe that this was not Rihanna’s first time being beat at the hands of Chris Brown. If this is true this further sheds light on the weak individuals that are in the hip hop industry and are Rihanna’s friends and lovers. Even if Rihanna chooses to go back to Chris Brown it seems like someone in the tough guy hip hop industry does not have the balls to tell Chris Brown if you hit her one more time you’re going to be gone from this earth. It just goes to show cash does not always translate into power.
A southern father in a small town has more power than these wealthy hip hoppers. In my early twenties I took a cross country trip on the greyhound bus and sat next to a man who had just gotten out of jail. He wanted to talk and seemed to think that he had been framed by a southern gentlemen because he cheated on his daughter. He seemed to think someone had planted drugs in his car and sent him off to jail for three years making Bob Barker shoes. Whether this story was true or not this Southern Father did what it took to defend his daughters honor. In the meanwhile hip hoppers are getting Prissy on the runway and kissing each other in the mouth. You know who you are. They seem to have forgotten who the girl is. Are they beating on women to indicate to their secret lovers that the straight life is just a facade.
**** APT requested that I post the following tube video to this post:
Clinton has just stated the U.S. wil not recognize the elected Government of Palestine. This is very disturbing Hammas is not going to back down, what is this saying? The U.S. will support a civil war in Palestine. This appears to me to be nonproductive saber rattling to me. The Obama administrations seems to be advocating more of a pro-israeli attititude than the Bush administration evr advocated. I don’t know maybe they paid her campaign debts off.
Rahm Emmanuel is criticizing Paul Krugman, maybe it’s because Krugman should have been head of Obama’s economic team but Emmanual dropped the ball. Gordon Brown’s trip to the United States to talk about the Global economy just goes to show that the man who won a Nobel Prize for his global economic theories should be in the Obama cabinet; maybe the stock market would not fall every time the obama economic team opened their mouth if Krugman were heading the team.
A top economic man who is not smart enough to do his taxes correctly is troubling. I am also troubled that some Republicans are coming out with a stamp to stamp under the fed chiefs name on the U.S. currency that says tax cheat. Why doesn’t the current fed chief just resign and let the Nobel Prize Winner in Global economic Theories take the helm. This is not a game.
I just found out on twitter that today is International Sex Workers Day. This is a day where sex workers protest for acceptance and the right to make a living without harassment as a sex worker. I was going to write something long and detailed on this issue basically saying what’s the difference between someone who goes and gives it to a different man every week and someone who gets paid for it. In the absence of true love and affection between two people does it really matter whether its a free one night stand or a paid business arrangement.
During the Elliot Spitzer incident last year I blogged and linked to articles related to this issue. You know I blogged last year that there is a lot of hypocrisy going around. The Republicans are hollering about babies born outside of marriage yet the daughter of their VP candidate had a baby outside of marriage, yet one of their speakers of the house Newt or whatever his title was has been married to three to four different women that in the case of the last three he got them pregnant before he even married them. He had three shot gun weddings and his shotgun weddings were divorcing one wife and marrying another, in the case of Rudolph Gulliani he married his cousin, his cousin and stayed married to her for sixteen years and had an annulment an annulment and immediately married another woman who he had children by and then while married to her proceeded to move his mistress ,now wife into the government mansion he was living in; and finally Rush Limbaugh, a reformed drug addict of two years is trying to make the claim that he’s the head of the Republican party. And all these people have to do is hate on innocent women and children. This is so sad. Legalize Prostitution, these women are claiming that they can reduce the risk of AIDS.
Here are the Spitzer posts that I wrote last year on prostitution:
Hello Phillip recently because of you I had to stop open comments to my blog. This is something that I don’t believe in. I believe that anybody who wants to comment can. However I had to delete your comments because they were so full of lies.
In addition your wife proceeded to make comments also, by that time I was holding comments for moderation. Because of this your wife’s work url was revealed. If you all continue to write negative comments to the blog. I will have to fax the comments to her employer and request that their employees cease commenting to my blog. Furthermore in your wife’s comment she mentioned that what has to be paid is such a small amount. If it’s so small then why don’t you pay it. It’s not so small now since you’ve missed 4-5 months though. ” PAY IT”
With that said I am releasing comments to no-moderation because frankly I don’t want any-ones information emailed to me. I want people to be able to make totally anonymous comments.
This started because Phillip Smith you have not paid child support. You have not paid child support for the last 4-5 months. No one seems to care that you have not paid. Usually by now a court date would have been established like it has been for the last several years but this year someone has dropped the ball and is letting you get away with not paying.
I find it rather strange you are not paying. Your daughter in San Diego is now 19 and you no longer have to pay child support for her so you should be able to handle this child support payment to your son.
If individuals are looking for background on this issue, please refer to this blog entry
Furthermore Philip Tracy Smith I left a message with your mom that your son had Pnemonia two weeks ago and noone from your family could call and see if he’s OK. This is pathetic that you can comment to my blog but you can not enquire about your child. Let’s refer back to what your mom said when I met you she said you were a nice guy and asked me to please be nice to you. Your family can’t even inquire about a child with their blood, yet they are asking a 23 year old women to take care of a 43 year old man. This is disgraceful.
Furthermore, when your son was ill when he was little my mother was at a supposed friends house and she said you called this friends house who you had met at your sons christening. I did not believe her until I saw where your wife worked. I know this friend has gotten jobs at this place for many of her relatives especially the ones she pulled strings for to get them into undergrad and then medical school after they flunked out of a famous military academy. So if you see this mutual friend tellher I said hello becsue I’m pretty sure she pulled the strings to get your wife this job.
If the shoe fits wear it. Israel has behaved terribly towards the Palestinians, kicking them off their land, out of their houses, bombing and killing them and creating an extremely unstable situation for their lives and the lives of their children. In the least a dialogue should be had by the U.N. exploring the actions of Israel not just towards the Palestinians but towards Lebanon also.
Everyone understands that the Palestinians have shot over a few harmless missiles over the fence with a minimal loss of life but nothing justifies the mass murder of hundreds of people that occured late last year. I understand that the issues the U.N. wants to discuss are from before this year but surely the actions of Israel last year should be discussed and evaluated also. Is the administration refusing to attend this conference because of the high net-worth donors in the Jewish community. Even now some do not understand the Crucifixion of Christ, I personally do not understand the Crucifixion of the Palestinians. Hopefully the United States will not stand by and advocate the annihilation and genocide of the Palestinians.
You know I was sitting here thinking about Rush Limbaugh and his attitudes towards liberals and their efforts to in the least give lip service to helping American citizens in need and at most provide assistance and relief to United States Citizens of all income groups and I could not help meditating on Limbaughs profound misunderstanding of National and World Affairs.
The first thing that kept going through my head was the international food crisis that is factually sweeping the world and how smart our government has been to plan for the poor, for the poor are always among us and always will be among us. I also thought about the base of the Republican party blue collar religious individuals who are in desperate need of the programs and resources that the Democrats are proposing to help them. Rush’s solution that tax cuts will create jobs and resources for this blue collar base is frankly ludicrous. What Rush is failing to realize is that the world is increasinglya competitive world, an increasingly capitalist world, and captalists’ are playing on the international playing field not the National Playing field. The only way to attract capital and capitalists to any Nation or society is to have a skilled workforce . However according to several sources the quality of the United States Educational system is not competitive, is not even in the top ten of best educations in the world. According to U-wire:
Now Rush is so fond of the word capitalism, in an increasingly technological world surely a smart capatalist survival of the fittest corporation is not going to bring his capital to the United States for complex jobs when all sources show that this is not the best place to get smart capital. He’s going where the best capital is and it’s not the United States. This is what smart legislators and a president realize. If your human resources lack the skill to compete world wide, a smart government provides assistance so that they can eventually be able to compete.
Finally I don’t know who Rush represents surely he does not represent blue collar workers becaue there jobs have been gone for a long time and the job losses we are dealing with are the stragglers, surely Rush is not talking about the middle class becasue they are in need of help too. Is Rush Limbaugh representing the Very wealthy. Bill Gates has a foundation that provides food aide to hungry people all around the world and says that he’s grateful to public education and libraries for helping him to reach his full potential. Surely he’s not talking about Warren Buffet because he says he believes in helping also. I am a little confused as to who rush is representing. The only people he seems to be representing so far are the virulent racists who are so prejudice that they will work against their very own interests.
While yesterday Rush Limbaugh bragged on the fact theat he did not need a prompt to speak and could go on and on maybe Rush should do less talking and more studying the bible and world affairs. Below is a little bible lesson for Rush.
Man I got summer hating on me cause I’m hotter than the sun
Spring hating on me cause I ain’t neva sprung
Win-ter hating on me cause I’m colder than ya’ll
And I will neva I will neva I will neva FALL
I’m being hated by the season
So fuck ya’ll who hating for no reason
For the first time since maybe the constitution was written we have a President that actually cares about the people. We have a president that actually wants to make the United States “ideal” of Liberty and Justice for All, real. While I have wavered and waned on my support of Barack Obama during the election. Since he has been elected the only behavior I’ve seen from Barack Obama is a caring and concern for the American people that is unprecedented. The haters coming out of the woodwork have literally stunned me. I can honestly say that I was unaware of the hate that certain white people felt for blacks until Barack Obama was elected. I would have never dreamed that so many self proclaimed Republicans and Caucasians associated Blacks with watermelon and fried chicken.
The two incidents that I’ve heard about involved individuals on the government pay roll. This is really a cause for concern that in the first case, a mayor of a town sent an email with the following picture to his list:
The Mayor says the "President" Will Not have an Easter Egg Hunt But A Watermelon Hunt this Easter
stating there will not be an Easter Egg hunt this spring at the White House but a watermelon hunt. The second incident involved cops who stated on their face book pages that:
“the rose garden will be turned into the watermelon garden” that there will be a “KFC set up right in front of the white house”
The scary part about these comments is that these individuals interact with the public. We will never know how many people have not been hired, who’ve been falsely accused and arrested, and wronged just because of racists in the woodwork.
Meanwhile the conservative Republicans are meeting and they don’t have a clue why they lost the White House and a large number of congressional seats. This is really quite funny that they fail to realize that the reason they lost is because of their lack of concern and ignorance of the needs of ordinary people. Instead of utilizing a strategy of how can we show that we are concerned and how can we win in 2016. They are insulting the President of the United States. They are using the same tactics that caused them to lose the White House by close to double digits. “Pathetic” The only people who are fooled are the racists. WAKE UP REPUBLICANS!
(Republicans)

I have begun a dreamboard. Today in order to be really thorough about what I was looking for I decided to look for a picture of a penis to put behind my dream board. I was a little taken aback to see that I could not find one that was straight or not with a Caucasian in the first several pages of Google. Even so the gay black penises outnumbered the black penises with Caucasians. I just finally gave up with an awful awful bad taste in my mouth. I had to sit there and wonder if black people could sustain a society where it’s beginning to look like a large group of the male population are openly gay or on the DL.
As my thoughts roared through my mind I understood that a percentage of every population will include people who are just absolutely positively homosexual and can’t help it but the male homosexual population seems to be accelerating in the black community like Moores Law, exponentially. While personally I subscribe some of it to the lack of male role models, economic hardship and exploitation, children without fathers, the water, the chicken etc. My personal opinion is that the generations and gnerations of different incarcerated men are one of the main factors contributing to the incredible rise and acceptance of homosexuality in the black community.
According to the American Sociological Association 20% of black men born between 1965 and 1969 had served prison time before they were the age of thirty compared to three percent of white men . The rate of incarceration for black males went up significantly based upon what level of education they had. Thirty percent of black high school graduates had served prison time by their early thirties and close to sixty percent of high school dropouts had served time in the Federal Penitentiary by the time they were thirty. These numbers are just totally unacceptable and indicate a profound problem in the United States of America as it relates to black Americans and black society. With dropouts in recent years reaching close to fifty percent, it is becoming increasingly obvious that if alternatives and solutions are not implemented to help these men that the United States will face a crisis that it will not be able to handle.
As for homosexuality and the prison population, I personally think that a coed solution needs to be implemented immediately while the risks are obvious by making the prison population coed like pregnancy. An implementation of a coed prison system could be a choice that prisoners make with the agreement that they take injectable birth control monthly. Obviously the penal system is not doing a good job in controlling sexual intercourse in the penal system, it does not make sense to keep prisons same sex and cause deviant behavior and increase the spread of AIDS not just in prison but out of prison also. Something needs to be done if prisoners are creating alternative lifestyles that will make it even more difficult to integrate into society we as citizens have an obligation to intercede.
I will be writing my congressman about this issue and idea. I think it is a sound one that may reduce the numbers of prisoners returning to prison.
The folowing sources reference or discuss coed prisons
” It’s a sort of penal mock-up of society, designed to reintroduce people who have been trying to survive in penitentiaries into a bigger world where the definition of survival is more elusive, a world that more often than not throws them and their prison-learned coping schemes off, like a body rejecting a transplanted organ. Nearly half the residents at FCI are in prison on drug-related charges. All are at least two years “short,” meaning they have two years or less remaining on their sentences. When they have six months or less to go they’re eligible for furloughs, community programs, family programs and other chaperoned sorties into the outside world.”
“But violence (judging from both official and resident sources) is sufficiently rare as to be only an occasional individual problem. Homosexual attacks, common in penitentiaries, are rarer still, and according to quite a few of the residents homosexuality itself is almost insignificant.”

You know I had a favorite spot that I liked to go. I liked to go there so much that when my black professional group decided to change venues to a predominately white meeting place instead of going next door I canceled my membership. The thing that I liked so much about this place was that it seemed to be like a movie set.
However, after taking a date to Club Circa I decided that the whole I-20 corridor is not date friendly. I have written previously about taking a friend, a strong friend to a restaurant in Conyers and having the waitress ask him, my close to four hundred pound friend lick the hot sauce off her arm. Ladies, just because he’s with me this does not mean he is rich or has a big penis. He may just be my friend. I was slightly amused by the incident because he was not my boyfriend and not my love interest but it made me strongly concerned about the families in the Conyers area that were exchanging black wives for white wives considering this woman was white. In any event I don’t know what happened between them, I encouraged him to go back another time because he wanted me to help him shop for presents for his toddler son in North Dakota. It should be noted however that he had already asked me to marry him, move in with him, do whatever it took just to be special to me. This would have never happened considering I had a friend years ago who dated him and loved him. He’s extremely charismatic and a phenomenal friend. If I need something even though I have not spoken to him in a year he’ll come through.
In any event I have never had much of a problem meeting men when I just walk out of the door , single eligible men. To just give you an example of my past I have met one Grammy award nominee in the grocery store. I met a physical therapist in the grocery store. I met someone who opened for an act that has won five grammys at Georgia State University, and I know one man who writes and performs for grammy and award winning acts all around the world who I met at Barnes and Noble in Buckhead who used to call me from London and Paris and other places every night. The truth is I was not interested in any of the people I have mentioned except maybe the guy who called from London and Paris and he was too impatient meaning when he was in town I had to be ready to make a move immediately, as well as some other reasons that made him turn into just a plain rat. In any event I have never looked for just a man, but a man that I liked and was compatible with.
The men I usually ended up dating in the past and liked very much were usually visual artists, or writers, or maybe a persistent engineer. I just want to say that the particular engineer that built bridges that I met was the best. I could say I want and he would not just bring me one he’d bring me thirty- phenomenal. The one incident that I think defined me and let me know that I had it was when my friends in college dragged me to a fraternity party because the man I liked/loved who was supposed to be coming from D.C. did not show up and I was dragged to this Frat party. I am not a dancer, except in the dark because I am extremely shy. So when one of the frat guys jumped into my lap and said either you came here to dance or to fuck , if not get out. I left and so did every other woman in the place. I always chuckle when I think about this incident.
In regards to men I would also like to add that the majority of men that have come up to me and I have dated extensively have been well endowed. It was not until the end of my marriage while in my thirties and I got back into the dating scene that I actually knew that the statement all black men are well endowed was just a plain out myth and a lie. I have never had much of a problem attracting a man, if any man would do I suppose I would have one.
In order to find the right man, I turned to the personal ads of craigslist. I was looking for an intelligent man in the least, a person that I could hold a conversation with. I was not looking for someone with the characteristics of my former husband a 6′2 dead ringer for Rick Fox who was extremely intelligent and profoundly gifted who produced our daughter who is a dead ringer for an Asian looking Hallie Berry. And where do I fit into this star studded continuum, one night as I was leaving a political meeting at Manuel’s Tavern a man screamed out of the car Chaka as in Chaka Khan. My mother told me that I should not be flattered because this meant he was calling me fat. Oh Well! In any event I turned to craigslist to find someone to talk to and possibly probably have a long term relationship with.
I went out on the first date with a man I knew I was just not interested in nor even for a friend, we went to Chilis in Lithonia and the waitress went into a long story about only getting paid a certain amount an hour and how she had no one to take her out. I watched as she flirted with my date the whole night and I thought just in character, I think on my next date I’ll go to Atlanta and my date ended with him saying maybe we should have gone to Midtown. I was not interested in this first date and it ended with her giving him a check that had come and see me again in quotations. This basically characterizes the black Atlanta dating scene whether it’s date night for marrieds or date night for singles. This is why I think Forbes rated Atlanta as one of the best places for singles because it’s so predatory and the advantage is for men. The caveat is I have fielded stares and glances from men who were with other women, while taking my family out to a birthday celebration one man sat and stared at me until I left and his date probably wife was evidently oblivious to what was going on or did not care as long as she could keep purchasing her LV pocketbooks. I suppose the women that I have had the misfortune to run into with a lot of exceptions may have winked and managed to get him his number, but that’s not me. Since I have not begun to tell my Circa story I would like to add that I was sitting beside a man at Cafe Circa who was tall and good looking that I could have been extremely interested in but he had a date and I had a date so I tried not to look at him. Maybe if I change my personality in my next life I’ll slip my phone number to him. As the date I was with is fond of explaining about parallel universes and the time continuum maybe this is what I did in a parallel universe slipped my phone number to him and experienced the pleasure of his extreme good looks and long body.
Anyway I’ve written so much backgrond to get into this story at Circa I’m sick of writing. Circa is a place that I stumbled upon, for some reason the coffee shop that my professional group was meeting at was now consistently closed at the time we were supposed to meet there. I think it was someone’s comment about her green or burgundy hair that shut us out of that venue, but she refused to open for us anymore. I did manage to catch her open the first time I came to the meeting and in attendance was the African contingency of professionals who were lots of fun to be around, the Ethiopians, Somalis and some others nice……… In any event at the next meeting the proprietor had shut the place down and we had to find another place to meet which ended up being next door but in the midst of Atlanta off of Auburn Avenue where the King home was located had the feeling of skinhead heaven. We managed to meet at this locale despite the fact that the staff kept throwing us glances like they hated us and did not want our money because we were black. Unfortunately at the next meeting the coffeehouse women did not show up so we went to Cafe Circa two doors down and had a wonderful time. I thought Circa was a great place. I told my friends and family about it .
So I naturally assumed that Cafe Circa would be a great place to bring a date, a craigslist date that I liked that I talked to for ninety minutes at a time. I also assumed that it was safe because my dear single friend who I think is one of the most honorable and greatest men I have ever met had recently given a private party there that I could not attend due to illness so I naturally assumed that this place would be a place where the wait staff knew how to act, some of the things that happened I am not going to get into because it seems so strange and surreal, like the singer singing Tyrone by Erykah Badu and when my date could not hear me he texted something on his phone and passed the phone to me and she started singing don’t even have no phone, have to use my phone to text. At the time I thought the singer was irritated because we were not giving her all of our attention but when I got home and thought about it I was really offended.
In any event I have not gotten to the good part yet. The waitress came and took our order. My date orderedtwo drinks and water. I ordered one Peach Martini. The waitress came back and put each one of his three drinks on a coaster, meaning three drinks and three straws, for my one little drink I did not get a coaster or a straw. The waitress then preceded to lay and rub on my date all night long and glare at me from the corner. I noticed this because my date was asking me not to button up my sweater so he could look down my cleavage and I jokingly said yeah I saw a psychologist on TV and she had a big necklace on in her cleavage which indicated to me that we were supposed to be looking at her cleavage and nothing else. I pointed to my cleavage and jokingly said you’re supposed to be looking at my cleavage and nothing else, as I looked up the waitress was staring straight down my throat. It made me feel rather strange. Suddenly she came up and jerked my plate off of the table and I was quite shocked.
I honestly did not think anything of it, until I went out with my date that I like very much the next night to the Real Chow Baby at the Galleria - excellent staff , my craigslist date commented on the trendiness of the staff and their attire. He thought one waitress had a mohawk but I explained to him she had a really great perm. She was cute, young, and free and that’s just how you should be at twenty- something not trying to glare someone down for being on a date. The Real Chow baby was a totally different atmosphere, I know it’s more general audience oriented but Christ even at a lounge the waitress should not be feeling and rubbing your date up unless they are looking for johns. In any event we went to cafe Intermezzo in Dunwoody after the Real Chow Baby where I found out the date had given the waitress at Cafe Circa a 25% tip. I think I could have swallowed twenty because I give twenty to most people even if the service is not great but twenty-five percent was a little hard to swallow, I’ve even been out with 50 and hundred dollar tippers but the waiter or waitress respected me and my date. I was taken aback and offended that I could be treated so shabbily and my date preceded to give the woman a twenty-five percent tip. I was mad at him and this revelation made me really think that Cafe Circa does offer the services of women of questionable character, I know my date paid for a back rub and to get laid on. Ladies if your married man tells you he’s going to Circa for business I would question if it’s monkey business compliments of the wait staff.
Finally I would like to say Cafe Intermezzo in Dunwoody was wonderful as usual. It’s been a great date spot for years. I have an affinity for Dunwoody, when I temped, the temp agencies in Dunwoody always made sure that I had a job and was working. When I was in an executive training program and all of the participants had MBA’s Dunwoody still found a place for me in this program. Dunwoody is a good place as well as my family has had other financial and banking needs that the 20 corrider could not take care of and the Galleria area where The Real Chow Baby is located came through. I suppose I say all of this to say that if I take the time to put an ad in craigslist. I should take the time to suggest places to my date that exemplify the character and the values that I try to practice in real life.
The twenty corridor is not doing it for me and ladies Circa Cafe is an absolutely horrible place to take someone you like and cherish to. I am trying to salvage even a friendship out of this craigslist person that I loved talking to but the shadow of a 25% tip when I could not get a coaster or a straw and had my plate jerked from under me is making me feel that my date just did not respect me as much as he should, he says he did not know. We talk everyday for at least two hours but I’m still wondering about him.
Well you know me………what comes up must come out and I’m now using twitter as a forum. The web address is: http://twitter.com/blackhippychick Prior to Rihanna’s incident with Chris Brown I wanted to write that I wanted to see a twitter thread from her. I would also like to see a twitter thread from emotive.
You know I insist on airing my dirty laundry on this blog as it relates to Philip Tracy Smith. It is not how Philip Tracy Smith of Ellenwood Georgia has treated me it’s how he has treated our son in many ways.
As I stated in a prior post Philip Smith originally of Valejo California called his mother and asked her to tell me he was a decent person because I did not have much interest in him. Mrs. Smith told me a 23 year old woman the her son a 43 year old man was a decent person. What she failed to tell me was that he had a daughter that he was not supporting, I had to find that out while going through his mail, mail he encouraged me to go through because he wanted me to know everything about him. What she did not tell me was that when Phil was 17 he and his mother took his girlfriend to an abortion clinic and her parents never found out. This is what he told me when I told him I thought abortion was disgusting.
His mother on his encouragment told me that he was a nice person and asked me to be decent to him and then he nor his family can be decent to my child. I called and asked if they would relay a message to him that it was very important that he pay child support this Christmas since he has never paid child support in December he always skips November, December, January, and February and then we go to court in March.
Well, when I called his house because I have always been cordial to his family to ask that they tell him to pay his saster Karen said: Don’t bother my mother about this this is between you and Phillip. Well I had not meant to bother anyone I just wanted a message delivered to my child’s father that he needed to pay child support for Christmas. I was a little taken aback considering my parents are very generous grandparents and know that Philip Tracy Smith has not paid. I suppose even though his mother told me that her son was “decent. She did not care to deliver a message regarding her grandson to her very very decent son.
You know there are some other things that I may wish to say like that he was fond of wearing pink shorts to Piedmont Park and sitting where the homosexuals sit but I won’t say that.
“I Wish I Could Take A Journey Through Your Mind and Find the Emotions You Always Try to Hide” JOE
Several years ago I was informed that their was a mind reading device that could read your thoughts and someone called the thoughts “computer thoughts”. While I was a believer and believed, I never thought that the technology would be mainstreamed and assumed that the technology would remain under some strange black project and would never see the light of day.
However a couple of innovative Australians have done what I never thought would happen. They will be main streaming a mind reading device that reads the brain waves in persons mind and translates them into their thoughts.
Two of the innovators behind bringing this technology to market were pioneers in early text messaging. They made their first millions by bringing text messaging technology to the masses. The other founder of the company is a Nobel prize winning scientist.
The writer from Inc. has tried the technology and has the following to say about the Mind Reading Device:
I‘m sitting in a darkened room, attempting to move a large block with nothing but my thoughts. I stare at it intently and imagine myself physically tugging on it, trying to flood my mind with a sense of strain and determination. But the block doesn’t budge. I try again, concentrating, concentrating: Move, damn you; I am your master. After a long moment, the block trembles a bit, then slowly skids toward me a few feet before stopping. Encouraged, I mentally bear down until the block resumes its sliding, and this time it keeps going. I’m gripped by the immensity of what I have just accomplished: effecting a change in the world around me without moving a muscle. Well, that’s not entirely true. I may have squinted a bit.
This isn’t a dream; it’s science — and soon, maybe, a big business. OK, the block was only a virtual one on a computer screen, but that’s a nit. The same technology that converted my thoughts into action on the screen someday could be hooked up to a real-life backhoe, robot surgeon, or microwave oven, placing any of those objects at my mental whim. This thought-conversion technology is composed of some extremely sophisticated software and a piece of headgear that looks like a cross between a telephone headset and a skeletal bike helmet. Embedded in the headset are 16 electrodes that press lightly on my scalp, monitoring the electrical signals generated by the 3 pounds of toothpaste-like goo sealed in my skull. The signals are my brain waves, the stuff of thought and emotion. The headset passes the signals to the software, which extracts patterns that can be used to control anything that’s run by electronics.”
Emotive plans to introduce the technology to the gaming community first because of their willingness to adapt new technologies and their openness to beliveing the technology could exist. The company then hopes to export the technology to as many areas of human interaction that it can. Some of the other uses the company hopes to export the mind reading technology to is to ipods and mp3 players, allowing your thoughts and feelings to determine what music is played.
Other areas that I can personally think of is answering the question do you really love me. Will people allow computer technology to do as Joe says “take a journey through their minds and find the emotions they always try to hide.” This device can answer the unanswered.
Personally while I know this stock will outperform Google I will be investing in the company that provides shielding from this type of technology because I’m sure it can be wireless.
Our society is so schizophrenic. In one breath they are terrorizing Casey Anthony for what I believe is accidentally killing her child. (I believe the girl chloroformed her child to death so she could party. I think it was an accident.) They are flashing heart breakingly beautiful pictures of Caley and making us literally want to kill the mother of this child who probably has no clue who the father was of this child. They are advocating for the death penalty of this woman who is practically a child her self who probably hung around with young women who thought an abortion was a notion and probably told her,” I told you to have an abortion blah blah blah” to the point where her child probably looked expendable to her alive, didn’t all the other girls get rid of their babies.
In the other breath the CNN HLN is standing outside of a woman’s house who chose to have eight babies and talking about the rumors they are getting from her next door neighbors. FOX News is calling the 8 children Bassetts. They are literally terrorizing this 33 year old woman in a time of her life that should be joyful.
What is really disturbing is they are emphasizing her martial status. Can any family afford 14 children. Are their families with fathers in the homes and fourteen children who are not receiving some form of income determined government aid. I would speculate no. The part about this that’s so disturbing is that when a married women had sextuplets somebody managed to give her a house. Excuse me but under the logic that we are using now shouldn’t the father of sextuplets been able to provide a home for his children, bassinets, cribs, money etc. Obviously the man who had septuplets was not able to provide for them so why didn’t society, the media jump down their throats. It takes two to make a baby but often times the income that two bring in is not enough .
The debate is amplified against unmarried women when the facts are tax dollars probably paid for the other tuplets being born. I know a married women where tax dollars have paid for every last one of her five children to be born and she admits it and her husband had a job too. My personal opinion is how many children a person decides to have and how they have them is nobodies business. I don’t know how the story leaked but it appears like her personal medical history has been compromised.
What is really disturbing is how the media has skewed this story. This woman has a degree in child and adolescent development. This woman is working on her Masters degree in counseling and has been married. She also has held a job for the majority of her working life. She’s paid her tax dollars and probably will get a job once she completes her Masters degree. She probably will earn more than the average two parent family if she completes her Masters and goes on to get a PHD. I know a woman with one child who’s never been married got pregnant in college, and has a Phd. I also know one who’s an attorney and none of these women have husbands. The media has essentially turned this issue into a right wing propaganda issue and the right wing is losing these days.
Finally there are plenty of people without fathers and calling them bassets, out of wedlock etc. is not helping anyone. If all of this continues to happen we are going to have what happened the last time people openly called children names. Twenty years from now we are going to have the members of “‘married” families come out and say their mothers were beaten and raped and they were molested. Check out old talk shows, this is what happens inside the “quote unquote” perfect locked in can’t get get out family.
It appears that one of CNN’s main purpose is to keep the racial pot stirred. They don’t even make it a stew they only want to report on one race “the black race”.
I have previously reported on Soledad Obriens negative attitude towards black women. She has said and I quote “maybe now that Michelle Obama is First Lady, they’ll get some self respect for themselves. “ This followed a segment of insults to black women that for me personally is unprecdented. Well guess what Soledad is slated to do another segment on Black America.
Well CNN guess what I will be reviewing the transcript from CNN’s black women segment and making a complaint to the FCC for defemation and the spreading of black lies about Black Americans.
With CNN the insults and the attacking of Black Americans is so insidious the early morning coverage of the innaguration of Barack Obama had a White Anchor who at the beginning of the coverage looked out over a sea of black faces and said all these people have come to see Barack Obama will have to return home to no jobs. I had to laugh because I knew that if you even took a $400 bus trip to the National Mall you had to have a job. The anchor later redeemed herself by singing like she was with her best friends with a group of women from Lousisiana; therefore proving what I always knew that there is always someone like you in every race. She meant no harm. She was a likeable sort, and she was willing to come to some sort of racial understanding. Unlike Soledad Obrien, who will never come to an understanding of black people, who has built her whole identity and career on potraying the seemy side of black life and has eesentially become a racial pimp, pimping her career on black people. The prior anchor redeemed herself. Soledad will never redeem herself.
During the King/Inauguration coverage Soledad Obrien was in character. She thinks she’s an expert on Black America and therefore since she’s never heard all of the King I have a dream speech she assumes no one has especially Kings fellow black folks . She walks up to a woman and screws up her face and says have you heard all of the I have a Dream Speech. The woman says yes, Soledad’s face falls as if to say your’re a smart “one” coon. She quizzes her and has to move on becasue this woman is just too smart. She does not rest until she finds a balck person as dumb as she wants them to be.
In the mean time, an anchor interviews a white girl who is so obviously with a white guy who’s tall, his face is fresh, and he’s chomping at the bit to be on the news. The girl keeps talking about he and him and he did this. Well the anchor identifies her him, it’s a black man who isn’t even in the shot. The white woman says no it’s him and points to the white guy. I suppose this particular anchor thought that the only reason a white woman would be out there in 18 degree weather is because she’s with or trolling for a black man. NOT TRUE!!!!
I suppose I truly realized CNN has race problems when this morning they are continuously running segments stating that blacks are shall we say fanatical about Barack Obama. They think he’s can do anything they are saying, keep their houses from being foreclosed on, give them a job, give them a job. Well ummmmmm isn’t this the platform he ran on. Isn’t this Obama’s own platform hope, jobs, stopping foreclosures. This is what he promised he would do for all Americans and this is why “all” americans voted for him. CNN keeps stirring the pot. All Americans are putting the same hope into President Obama.
Leaving us with the statement that set it all off:
“It’s not a Black America, It’s not a White America, It’s the United States of America”
Barack Obama
Maybe CNN in their Mocha Latte World missed this! The problem just may be the culture of CNN and not the “United States of America”
The other day a dear friend called me and said I’m coming to Atlanta for my fraternity meeting. We started to talk and I suppose he remembered that my sons father was in the same Fraternity he was in and he said I know he pays child support, he’s a Morehouse Alpha. I had to say no he does not pay child support. No one seems to want to make him pay child support and since Barack Obama has been elected he has not paid child support and probably won’t.
In Georgia we know that if there is a Democrat in office men are not going to support their children. I remember we had a Democratic Governor in Georgia and the child support workers were losing files, could not find a non paying father and were generally nonfeasent, misfeasent, and malfeasent.
In my case if anyone sees Philip Tracy Smith of Ellenwood, Georgia, a non-payer to at least two children one in Texas and one in Atlanta supposedly who owns a staffing agency and writes up mortgages and who’s license should be suspended please tell him to pay child support.
Furthermore if you want to know how I hooked up with him. I told him when we were thinking about dating that he just did not seem to be the sort of person I was interested in because he had a lot of problems. What did he do? He called his mother and had her tell me that he was a good person, he just had problems, but was a decent individual.
In addition I left him for talking about a woman who was just a friend too much. He slept outside of my door all night and asked for forgiveness. Who is he married to know? This woman. He is a certified rat.
Years later he’s not paying child support, though his Frat brother is sure that he is or should be and he’s not.
Finally as the senate looks to confirm Eric Holder as head of the Department of Justice who might also be a member of this fraternity, I’m not sure though my friend insisted on naming a long line of frat folks to me on the phone he did not mention Holder so he’s probably not; in any event all women should be mindful that Holder might be prepared to have the justice department look left while deadbeat dads refuse to pay child support.
I hate sharing my stuff. I have ideas and ideas and ideas some of them I write down some I don’t. Here are some ideas I shared with one person so I figured why not tell the world.
Business Idea 1: There is a surge in homeschooling. As a matter of fact I home school via online with my daughter and I am totally impressed and knocked of my feet with the quality of the program.
However before I began the online program I had an idea. Since there are some home school families that are hyper competitive and into test scores, it would be nice to start a business that gave groups of homeschooled students standardized tests together as a group sort of like the SAT and the LSAT bring them to a local college or central location and test them all together four times a year.
The second idea I have is for a tutorial service. Sometimes parents want to know the credential of those who test their children. I had an ideea for a tutorial/ personal teacher service that involved allowing parents to pay for a tutor based on their credential and test scores. For instance if you want a college student who’s made 1600 on the sat you could pay 100.00 an hour for his or her services. if you want an LSAT tutor maybe pay $250 an hour. I think you get the rough picture of my idea.
These are two idea I had, but will not be using maybe someone else can put them to use.
I only had a brief glimpse of Michelle Obama’s dress as she walked across the stage but it was awesome. The yellow on black was hip and sophisticated and made a wonderful statement. I will look for pictures of the outfit and post but I honestly wanted to share with the world or even the world of one how wonderful she looked.
It was just a clip I think she wore it last night at some event for Kings birthday but I’m unsure.
As many of you may be aware of I was falsely accused of shoplifting at Vision Works at Stonecrest Mall in Lithonia Georgia and accused and taken to jail for disorderly conduct instead. If you want proof you can view what I was taken into custody for at http://drop.io/falseaccusation . In addition I will be uploading other articles related to the subject as time permits.
In any event I had to write this post today because as I’m doing research on the issue I became afraid not just for myself but for everyone who walks into a shopping mall, place of business, or retail establishment. I am certainly afraid for folks to go to the mall that I went to. In this harsh economic environment one should ask themselves if they can afford the loss of reputation and the innuendo that can be garnered from a false and malicious accusation that can linger with you even if you have not done anything wrong. One should seriously weigh this issue before entering a retail establishment. The facts are in this climate shopkeepers can utter any amount of lies about you they choose to. The facts are also in that you don’t know who’s behind the counter and what their morals and values are. There are actually immoral people working as shopkeepers, police officers, and security guards who will tell lies just for fun and entertainment or just because they don’t like the way you look.
If you have places where you have shopped for years without incident and others have too. It is probably wise to stick to areas like this but if people are whispering about a location and it’s treatment of individuals is questionable, it’s probably wise to stay away from there especially if you have an employer, are young and have a future or just have dreams and aspirations. Furthermore the emotional toll and stress of being falsely accused and harassed is not worth it. Finally the parents of Teenagers should keep their children away from establishments that have a history and record of doing bad things.
While loss of reputation is something that most people can live with, the loss of life is something that no one can live with because they are dead. As I’ve been researching the issue of the falsely accused. I’ve come across disturbing incidents involving the not guilty and the guilty that have resulted in individuals being beaten to death in the back rooms of stores and malls, people being shot in the parking lot, and many deaths related to individuals being wrongfully and rightfully accused of shoplifting. I suppose if a person is a shoplifter they should go to the backroom and try to work it out but if you are minding your own business, have never ever been accused of stealing or shoplifting in your life, have never been convicted of a felony, and only convicted of misdemeanors related to traffic tickets like me you should really hesitate before you go into any back room with anyone or even leave the spot you are in, judging from what I’ve read and what’s been on the news lately in terms of officers shooting people in the back, and just plain killing people without cause. “DO NOT GO INTO A BACK ROOM IF YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG AND FEEL THAT YOU ARE BEING MALICIOUSLY TARGETED YOU MAY NOT GET OUT OF THE ROOM ALIVE.”
As for honestly what to do I don’t know, in my case I told the security guard I did not want to get out of the car but he insisted.
I am wondering if trying to call an attorney is even possible when falsely accused in a retail establishment. Isn’t it strange that as citizens of the United States we have rights and can not be detained without cause or proof but as soon as we step into a retail location evidently by the many cases that I’ve been reading. Individuals give up their constitutional and Miranda rights when accosted by a Security Guard in a retail establishment. Illegal search and seizure is against the law but because I was in the parking lot of an establishment the security guard could insist that I get out of the car with a gun attached this hip.
The following are quotes from blogs and other sources discussing the above issues.
The blog entry states that two of the killings involved people who actually had shoplifted something. They state one man stole a box of sunglasses. This by itself is believable but when you read the following it makes you wonder if items were planted on the individuals once they were dead.
The following is a shoplifitng rendition of a college student who was killed n Nashville and is at rest with the belief that he’s a shoplifter and a thief. This account is going to be a lot skewed because it’s coming from the police department. If you read my ticke at http://drop.io/falseaccusation . You will find the officer used words to skew the ticket instead of just stating the facts, he made statements that can never be proven.

* Media Releases
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 29 , 2006
The shoplifting suspect shot during a scuffle with a Tennessee State Trooper in the parking lot of Hickory Hollow Mall Thursday night is identified as a 21-year-old Tennessee State University student from Las Vegas, Nevada. Efforts are continuing to locate his next of kin in Nevada. He is in critical condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Trooper Aussie Thaxter, 41, who fired his state-issued gun one time, was treated at Vanderbilt for injuries sustained when he was dragged by the suspect’s car. He was released during the night.
Thaxter was working an off-duty security job at Dillard’s department store in a THP utility uniform when he was notified by an employee of a suspiciously acting man in the men’s department who was carrying several designer shirts and said he would be paying for them in another area of the store. While in Thaxter’s view, the man fled from the store to the parking lot carrying the shirts. Thaxter gave chase and ordered him to stop.
The man got into a Plymouth Breeze sedan that was backed into a handicapped parking space. As the suspect started the motor, Thaxter reached into the car through the open door in an effort to turn off the ignition. He was unsuccessful and the suspect put the car in gear and began to pull away with Thaxter still partly inside. Thaxter was dragged for about 20 yards before he managed to fire a shot. The suspect was hit in the neck and Thaxter fell to the pavement. The Plymouth continued on, entered a bank parking lot and came to rest against the bank building. A Metro officer who was in the mall was told of the commotion and rushed to the bank parking lot. He immediately radioed for an ambulance.
The investigation into the shooting is being headed by the Metro Police Department’s Homicide Unit. The THP’s Criminal Investigation Division, the TBI and an investigator from the District Attorney’s Office are assisting. The full investigative report will be forwarded to District Attorney General Torry Johnson for review when it is complete.

The above incident is about a supposedly guilty shoplifter who did not live to tell the story. However I was falsely accused of stealing. I went to jail for disorderly conduct. I was stripped down, I had to put on a smelly orange jump suit and was being watched every second by an attendant. Not only did I pull all of my clothes off and put on others. I was given a drug test, an AIDS test and had to give urine, and finger printed. I had to leave my car on the mall grounds. Furthermore I had to give up my pocket book and everything in it had to be checked into the police locker. I was stripped of everything. Finally I was released on my signature because I did not have a criminal history what so ever.
I say all of this to say that the circumstances surrounding the dead college student above are eerily similar to mine. I was approached and accused of shoplifting while in my car, my keys were in the ignition and I was about to leave the premises. The security guard was at my window what if I would have tried to just leave, though I could not because I was blocked in by a truck. Would I have been shot and had a box of sunglasses planted in my car since it was a vision care place I went to and forever known as a shoplifter.
The parking lot killings are too similar I am wondering if anyone accused of shoplifting and shot in a parking lot while in their car is guilty. It’s too convenient. In the first quoted blog entry it’s stated that a man had a box of sunglasses and was shot in the parking lot with a “whole” box of sunglasses. It’s beginning to look like people target individuals to kill and plant items on them after they reach their cars because one can not plant multiple items on a dead body in the middle of a store but someones car is definitely a good place to plant items.
I refuse to recognize the state of Israel. As I hear of people who have been displaced for sixty years, in extended concentration camps, their homes taken from them and their peace. I am not recognizing the Jewish state and no matter what happens it will never exist for me. The area the Jews inhabit will forever be Palestine to me.
The Jews have made an alter to the Holocaust. The United States acts as if this is a carte blanche to let them do anything they want to whomever they want. The “Jews” are going to war against the weakest people they can find weakend by their actions.
The Jews say thy will be going house to house to fight the Palestinians. Yes they are going house to house and killing everything and everybody in sight. They are first and foremost killing every male in sight. They are performing the type of genocide written about in the bible. However instead of killing every baby they may be killing everybody in sight. Evacuation and safe houses have turned into places where the Jews bomb. Therefore knocking out 40 to a hundred people at a time.
Little as it’s told this will be the second genocide in the Middle East in the twenty -first century. The United States committed genocide in Iraq and I am convinced when they went door to door fighting they killed a sizable number of individuals. However at least we were humane enough to protect the innocent. If the United States sent individuals to a safe house. It was safe. The Jews are literally killing everything in sight.
The caveat is no matter how many people the Jews kill it will not make them feel empowered. It will not erase the holocaust. The Jews have become the fourth Reich in Palestine.
The land known as Gaza is definitely a concentration camp with gates, no one can voluntarily get out or get in. The people are stuck. The people have no weapons. Sure they have used tunnels since the Jews have cut off their supplies but the tunnels are very public and according to a recent NPR broadcast, broadcast before the genocide began, the tunnels were used to get such benign things to the Palestinians as washing machines and food becuase the jews were starving the people. They could barely get bread let alone serious weapons. I have seen no evidence of weapons. The bombs that are being shot at the Jews harm no one. If this is all the Palestinians have a door to door fight is going to turn into a massacre of the Palestinians by Jews.
The one thing that will come out of this is the Jews will no longer be able to wave the Holocaust in people’s faces. They will not be able to say to Europe and the United States and Japan why didn’t you help us sooner eighty years ago because their hands will be filled with the blood of Palestinians therefore nullifying the significance of the holocaust and placing what happened to the Jews in the realm of human nature. People will say that though the Jews were victims of the holocaust they turned around and committed genocide against the Palestinians, they expelled the Palestinians from their homes and killed them and killed them, therefore I repeat putting the ability to commit genocide in the realm of human nature,in essence the holocaust now means nothing and does not deserve remembrance because the descendants of the victims committed genocide themselves.
In all of this the one thing I can’t understand is how does Saudi Arabia and Egypt just sit their weakly and allow these things to happen. They have weapons and can defend and help the Palestinians and judging by the Jews defiance to the U.N. If a Middle East country interceded in the conflict the world would support them. I suppose the Palestinians are feeling quite helpless right now. I suppose they feel that no one cares about them and that their lives are helpless and useless. They have tried to go about their lives and live but can not find peace and stability. Someone some country needs to help the Palestinian, the UN needs to send in Peace Keeping forces to help these individuals. The status quo can not stand. As Jews sleep soundly in their beds, little children innocent women and men are terrorized by people who took their land. The decision to wipe Palestine off the map and give their land to the Jews was a BIG mistake. An International group needs to right this wrong.
Every one is gritting their teeth and waiting for Obama to be sworn in in ten days however the unfortunate fact is the Palestinians may not have ten more days. The Jews may have killed them all by then.
As for the rest of the Middle East that’s watching and doing nothing. The blood of the Palestinians will forever rest on the hands of the Middle East This is worldwide. The world is watching. The Middle East is big and bold enough to come over to the United States and kill thousands of people in one swoop but they are too weak to protect their Palestinian brothers and openly go to war with the Jews. It’s less than ten days until Obama gets in, go to war with the Jews for ten days and when the new President of the United States is sworn in make peace. Some country must help the Palestinians out. The Middle East must unify to keep their brothers from being victims of genocide.
