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?

Go Shorty! It's Your Birthday!

Yeah right. I did my hair. Actually my friend did it for me. My ends are a little frazzled. Unfortunately, the lady that I wanted to cut my hair waited until it was too late to contact me. She wants to reschedule for next week and if my hair is indicator now, she will be cutting off at least an inch, which means protective styles for the rest of the year. So I didn't get a proper trim because she was not free for the time she scheduled me. My ends look horrid!  But I look fly. We fly high, no lie,... Yeah... So anyway... Praise God I'm 26 years old. In other news, focusing on God is getting harder. But I am up for the challenge. I need to be in order to come correct with God. And be prepared for Jesus and other things.

Dreams never lived

We have to get rid of the idea that we understand ourselves,... -Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest I've been ignoring this idea for a couple of days, that I have not accomplished things that I have shied away from for whatever reason. It's depressing to think of how far I've gone from my unfulfilled dreams. I always settle for less than best.  I've dreamed of changing the youth program over here in California where I attend church. Never did it. I've dreamed of empowering my young people back home to make changes. Never did it. I've dreamed of becoming a Senior Youth Leader. Never finished! I've dreamed of being a Medical Missionary. Not accomplished. I dreamed of sining my own songs before people. Not done yet. I dreamed of writing tons of books. Completely unfulfilled. So in listening to the motivational speeches, I focus on things that I can do in the future rather than the things in the past that I have not accomplished but in truth, they

Complaining

Quite recently, I was speaking about having to wake up early in the morning in order to get a ride to the school. I was definitely hurt when someone responded and said that I was always complaining. Every once in a while, this person has hinted that I whine and complain. I was annoyed because to be quite honest I would love to use this person for a character comparison. Unfortunately, I actually like this person, which is why it hurt when I heard this person say this. Which made me think: Does this person even want to be around me? They don't respond to my texts and they give me strange looks. Unfortunately, I do complain but not in the spirit of being mean spirited and pessimistic. But mostly in the spirit of needing something to talk about. It annoys me that my life is only summed up in the amount of things I can complain about. It annoys me that I am not joyful enough to be better.Help me Jesus to be better. Phillipians 2:  14  Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15  t
