Dear Dick Cheney

Dear (Former Vice President) Dick Cheney,


From the moment then-Senator Obama launched his bid for President, you and your Party have set out to de-legitimize him. You speak of love for Country and a desire to protect the "Homeland." When in office, you demanded everyone bow to your plan for the Nation, and anyone so bold as to question your tactics was drummed out of government and slain on the public stage. You all co-opted Patriotism, denied truths, and committed "High Crimes and Misdemeanors," all while waiving the flag. You know your history; more importantly, we know your history.

Now you have all but charged the current President with Treason. Does that make you unpatriotic Mr. Cheney? The fact that you go on television to undermine the President almost daily make you worthy of losing your Civil Liberties, or are you still above us all? While I cannot agree completely with the Presidents tact in Afghanistan, I know he is only cleaning up the mess you gift wrapped for him. Since this mess was created by you and yours, how can you place such vitriolic blame on the man trying to fix it? Oh, right, you are THE Dick Cheney, he who knows no accountability, smirks at redress, and believes the best way for America to regain Her reputation around the world, is to beat the crap out of the rest of the world. Have you not understood the way others have cried out against your exploits? To you, they are just background noise, we all are.

Mr. Cheney, at the very least, you continue to tarnish the office you once held, and at most, you simply do not care about your country. You stand before podiums, declaring the President will fail, but refuse to take questions and be held accountable for your words. You, Mr. Cheney, own all the trouble we are in. You are its author, editor, and deliminator. For 8 years, you cloaked yourself in mystery, hiding out in you "undisclosed location." Were you afraid that those you trampled would seek you out? Could you not face the same people whom you put in great danger. You sir could not face the American people or the people of Iraq and Afghanistan. You sir, sought to render the American people voiceless, and now you propose to stand before any camera that shall have you and call OUR President a traitor? You have gall.

Remember well, Dick, you started this, couldn't or didn't want to finish this, and now you criticize the one man trying to? You are so brave...so Patriotic...what a man...Not! You are a coward, Dick. A coward who create a no-win situation for the country you supposedly love. You do not love America or the American people, you sir, love only yourself, oil, and money.

Good Day

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...
