Really? Again?

So I'm watching this clip from the Hannity show on the FOX news network. Tell me why people act like their dumb? Here's the clip:

My Analysis
I definitely understand what he's talking about and I'm not going to sit here and lie and say that I feel all lovey-dovey about a black man getting with a white woman. But if that's what you wanna do. do you. Love is love and I cannot judge. I'm not hating on random strangers, especially Tiger Woods who, like may other biracial people of status and acclaim decide not to claim being white. So I'm not mad at dude for marrying a white woman. Let him do what he wants to do. He is not accountable to me nor is he accountable to the black community. He lost the accountability when he decided he was not black enough to be considered black. And even if he was black  to me, I am not Jesus so I can't judge him. When OJ married that white woman and got himself in trouble by killing her ( we all agreed that he killed her right?) it looked worst for him, why? 'Cause he was black and she was white. Don't get it twisted, the black community supported him in his craziness. But He was still wrong and in the public eye, he will always be a villain because he killed that "poor white girl".
As a black woman, I know that we cannot always depend on the media to depict us as beautiful. But for ages, we as black woman were assured within ourselves that black men had not fallen for standard set by the media. They still found us worth the pursuit of courtship, the labor of love that is marriage and a rightful dispenser for their children. I think it is a innate desire of not only black woman but of all woman to be wanted by a man. Recently, more black males are marrying outside of their race than ever before. It is a small percentage of black males and of course, there are more white males marrying outside of their race than black males, but proportionately, black males find life partners outside of their race more readily. The feeling brought about is that we are not good enough for our own men. If it were not compounded by the fact that we are not good enough for society as the ideal mom (single black mothers portrayed in the media), the ideal wife (nagging, opinionated, and loud as portrayed by the media) or the ideal female ( most female icons of beauty and overall femininity are white). Why must white people like Hannity and his friend act like we do not already live in a society that puts black females down? Why is he acting like racism doesn't exist? How can you get past a psychological mindset that has been ingrained over centuries?  Don't act like your dumb. If your white wife wants to feel wanted, don't you think it would make sense that black females would want to feel wanted too?

Wonderful Children

Bless my heart! Their ruder than when I first believed and ridiculously bright. Too bad intelligence does not mean wisdom. Can you believe this child in front of my face decided to kick another child, make him cry and think that it was OK for her to do that? She has lost it. Then, there are those who think their too smart to listen to any adult and they find joy in talking back to adults. Did someone say corporal punishment? No I would never do that... Any who...the Lord is good who promised, and these children do not determine my happiness. Praise Jesus! Keep my lips from guile Lord!

What is Kwanzaa?

I thought that it should be important for me to do some research on Kwanzaa before I went all full throttle Kwanzaa mode. Kwanzaa is a holiday created by  Maulana Karenga . While secular in nature, it does celebrate the cultural heritage on Black people in America. The Seven core principles of Kwanzaa are: Umoja  (Unity): To strive for and to maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race. Kujichagulia  (Self-Determination): To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves. Ujima  (Collective Work and Responsibility): To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers' and sisters' problems our problems, and to solve them together. Ujamaa  ( Cooperative Economics ): To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses and to profit from them together. Nia  (Purpose): To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to...

Testimonies Part 3: Boring Testimony Please!

My friend and fellow volunteer teacher, Mrs. Lawrence is a doll. She was telling me the other day about a retreat she attended in which a lady mentioned that she wanted all her children to have boring testimonies. She explained that boring meant that they don't leave God to have an adventure in the world but they spend their whole life serving God. Isn't that what we all want for our children? Safe lives? Let me not downplay the testimony of someone who never dabbled in worldliness or was enslaved to sin. It's not boring. Being used by God is a good thing. We're so warped and twisted that we think the world has something better to offer. So we go out in the world, waiting for God's "big reveal" and then if he does, we devote the rest of our life to Him. But if we don't get that "big reveal"? Then our life would be a testimony to the power of the Devil. Personally, I like working for God and to know I'm in His will. It's assuring a...
