"Pray for Obama Psalm 109:8"

Bumper stickers witht the above Psalm is popping up all over the Country. Isn't that awesome! People are praying for our President! Uh not so much. Don't be misled, this is not a good Christian prayer for the leader of the Free world. Let's take a look at what this Psalm really says:


Psalm 109:8-19


8 May his days be few;


may another take his place of leadership.



9 May his children be fatherless

and his wife a widow.



10 May his children be wandering beggars;

may they be driven [d] from their ruined homes.



11 May a creditor seize all he has;

may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.



12 May no one extend kindness to him

or take pity on his fatherless children.



13 May his descendants be cut off,

their names blotted out from the next generation.



14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD;

may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.



15 May their sins always remain before the LORD,

that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.



16 For he never thought of doing a kindness,

but hounded to death the poor

and the needy and the brokenhearted.



17 He loved to pronounce a curse—

may it [e] come on him;

he found no pleasure in blessing—

may it be [f] far from him.



18 He wore cursing as his garment;

it entered into his body like water,

into his bones like oil.



19 May it be like a cloak wrapped about him,

like a belt tied forever around him.

A good Christian prayer for the President? Not so much! This verse, amonst other things, calls for the children to be orphaned...meaning those who quote this scripture want the President dead? What else can one take from that. Once again, the Bible is being used to speak in code against their so-called enemies. Yay Christianity!

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...
