Big Pharma's Senator



I have a question: why are the Democrats keeping Lieberman? He has vowed to not vote for a bill that contains a robust (or otherwise) Public Option. He is trying to position himself as the make or break vote, and that is insane! Everyone know good ol' Joe is bought and paid for by Big Pharma. As Keith points out, "He has had a different reason [for opposing the bill] each month since June." Does anyone on the Democratic side truly believe Joe is a Democrat? If so we need to really rush health care so they can get their heads checked! The public option is the only way to make sure insurance company's do not continue to abuse consumers. Without it, this will just be another huge give-a-way to the companies, which are already making money hand over fist. Sen. Lieberman, why do you despise the American people? Why do you believe people in this nation should suffer and die from lack of health care? Please Dems! Push him out! take away his seat and any other positions he holds. He is not good for the American people, and he is not good for the Dem. Party. If the Dems fail on health care, there is nothing else they can do to win American's hearts or minds. Come on! Get serious, and stop being scared. Jeez! Fight back, starting with the party traitor!!!

To (some) Black Men...why though

Apparently it is super trendy for (some...before the "not all" chorus lifts every voice and sings) Black men to "drag" black women on social media. My question: why though?? What is going on?

As a Black woman who is "darker than a brown paper bag," I am quite familiar with all the old tropes: "Black women are too ghetto...don't wear their own hair...don't respect Black men...have too much drama...are loud...destroyed the Black family..." etc., ad infinitum. But here lately, it seems, Black men are well and truly taking issue with us in every imaginable way. Tyrese, French Montana, Trick Daddy, and the like all seem to have, what I am sure they deem, serious grievances with Black woman, and I just don't get it. And let's not talk about the "Hotep" brothers who are quick to, in the same breath call the Black woman God and tell us we need to stop ...

Facebook Bra Color "Scandal"

I have had it with the hoopla over the Facebook Status update. In 2000 my 43 year-old mother died from breast cancer. When I saw the email on FB, it warmed my heart because at the very least, Breast Cancer was on the minds of those forwarding the message and changing their status. I gladly changed my status. My mother had a double mastectomy, but she had a wonderful doctor who helped her get bras that gave her "breasts" and she felt so much better. Everyday, as a young mother, I worry about my risk for developing cancer and I worry about the risk my daughters may face. Breast cancer does not only belong to those who have experienced it alone. It belongs to the mothers, daughters, sisters, cousins, friends, etc. of us all, and any thing that will make it a topic of discussion is fine by me. Of course, changing your FB status won't resolve the cancer issue, but it will get young women talking about this very serious illness. When my mother developed breast cancer, there was...
