Do Men Really Hate Women?

by  •  • 0 Comments

Karen Straughan (@girlwriteswhat) succinctly discusses that men don’t hate women. VERY interesting:   I don’t think there is a universe that could exist where men, in general, hate women. So maybe the first thing would be to stop accusing men…

Entitled Kids

  An excerpt from this article: http://addins.kwwl.com/blogs/anchormom/2015/04/the-entitlement-generation  At my last job, there was a young woman who was interning with our station. She showed up to work one day wearing extremely short shorts and a halter top. To work. Our…

What do Booker T. Washington, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Bill Cosby and this man have in common? “Responsi-damn-bility.”

by  •  • 0 Comments

I’ll tell you what Booker T. Washington, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Bill Cosby, Frederick Wilson II and Clayton Craddock all have in common….the message of taking personal responsibility for your actions. Or, as my man in the video below said, “responsi-damn-bility.” I hope more people can hear this message, again, because it seems to have been repeated to the masses of black folks for well over 100 years.

We have to take care of our own people. The “Great Society” of LBJ has failed black people. Democrats seem to only want to keep us dependent on all levels of government so that they will vote for them and control us in perpetuity. Maybe the events in Ferguson are the start of another black awakening in America.

I feel it is time to reject the notion that you cannot compete with other people and need a handicap. We have to reject the pop culture of violence death and destruction. Reject the notion that we need a ” black leader” and start thinking for ourselves. Take control of your families and keep “family court” out of your lives at all costs. Speak proper English. Mothers and fathers keep your children by your side and raise them together in the same home. Be faithful to your spouse and reject any notion that the nuclear family is unimportant. Emulate the strong black men and women of generations in the past.

It is time to tell the story of the people who don’t follow the democratic talking points. We all don’t think alike and we want change from within.

Sometimes, we are our own worst enemy.

Take some “Responsi-damn-bility” and let’s make real progress. This is a great video and spot on:

The World’s Toughest Job

by  •  • 0 Comments

Here is a different take on that silly viral video that was an advertisement for greeting cards…a thing that I DETEST anyway.

Motherhood is NOT the most difficult job. It’s not even a job. Neither is fatherhood. The thing is, parenting is not a job at all. It has some things in common with a job, but it’s a whole different thing altogether. As parents, we don’t get paid, we can’t quit if we get angry or pissed off, we can’t look around for better parenting jobs, we can’t sue our employer. In fact, we don’t even have an employer! We don’t have the option of not taking our work home with us when we don’t want to, we don’t receive any training, etc.

So to start with, the whole idea of parenthood being a job is nonsense from the beginning. Then, to go on and on with exaggerating the amount of work and expertise needed to be a parent, it not only creates guilt on the part of parents, it also makes it seem like the best parents are the ones who treat their kids as helpless and endangered for as long as possible. The quicker we raise self-sufficient, self-reliant human beings, the better. It is better for parents, better for children and better for society in general.

I can see through the nonsense of bullshit advertisement schemes and I hope that you do too in the future.
