Cast not the stone of judgement





It is generally my position that those who cry religion and sanctity the loudest are the one hiding sin. This is no different a case. Those in "The Family" have been proven to be (as most all are) not without sin. They point the "holy" finger both in country and out at those who deserve, in their eyes, judgement. Doesn't the Bible say, "Let he without sin cast the first stone?" These men are not without sin, and that I do not begrudge them. What I do find reprehensible is the fact the have anointed themselves Saints and are proposing the right to judge others. To support a law that would execute people solely based on their sexual preference is no different from supporting the laws that enslaved millions. For a Pastor to not disavow such a practice slaps of bigotry and nothing less. It is insane to believe God would find such a measure just. What of the Commandment "thou shalt not kill?" If we go about killing those with whom we do not agree or those who we take issue with their choices, what will become of humanity? I will tell, because we do so, the worlds would become as it is. We are a people full of hatred, mistrust, ill conceived righteousness, judgement, so very willing to cast stones at others when if in the spotlight it would be us who would be stoned to death for our misdeeds. We, humanity, have no humanity.

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? Okay, Black men who have "issues" with Black women are nothing new. 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...
