Saturday Sayings Special Edition-Quotes from the Next President

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Community colleges play an important role in helping people transition between careers by providing the retooling they need to take on a new career.

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.

-Barack Obama

WTF?!?!!? Are you serious?

Affirmative Action-Necessary or Not?

This is an election year. 2008 is the year of the black man. Did he earn what he has using affirmative action?

No.

Did he earn it off of good looks? Money? Privilege?

No, No and No.

So the question is if a black man can accomplish running for President 40 years after the man with the dream was killed then is Affirmative Action really necessary?

From a Republican view absolutely and we must use Affirmative Action to refocus. We must teach from the African-American perspective. Once this happens we will be able to freely have conversations without feeling that there is a racial undertone. We will be able to listen to the other side's views and opinions of us without getting offended.

The second part of it denotes that we must refocus our energies on making sure the Black resources stay within the Black Community. We have to make sure that the children of the inner-city are as educated as their suburban counterparts.

If we do all this then Affirmative Action will no longer be necessary.

From a Democratic point of view Affirmative Action is and will be always be necessary because America is racist. That does not mean that a black man can't become president. Also we must note that it is easier for a white person with a record to get a job than a black man without one. Biased much?

I think so, what say you? Is Affirmative Action necessary or would our refocus on children and resources solve the problem?

I Am Not My Sister's Keeper

SoOoOoO...Anyone out there ever dated someone then a close friend, sibling or cousin dates them?

I think that's a bit odd. I mean I would never want anyone whose been anywhere near my best friend's mouth ( I love you girl ) But still it's almost like incest.

Now, has anyone ever done it as a result of feeling that your mate was cheating so you try to corrupt their minds?

I was just thinking of it. After listening to the Gerald Levert "Eyes and Ears" I was like wow...Sean that's your brother's woman and you trying to get in it? Oh just to spite her.

And I'll knock your black ass out. Good Looking Out Gerald!


RIP Both of you.

Down Low Brothers and Their Affect On the Community

I have always known that gay black men were out there. I have always done my best to stay away from them but it's hard to do that when they seem to be everywhere. They seem to have varying ways of infiltrating all forms of society. Just yesterday I met two down low black men. Both of them told me that it appeared I would be comfortable with their behavior and bi-curious ways. The first one I quickly dismissed the second one I took the time to listen and I learned for one, there's nothing wrong with women, it's just like an itch or a need that they feel the need to pay attention. I wonder if there's a common link here. Is it that they feel a need to be dominated? Has society made these men feel as though they need to do more to feel love.

Furthermore, the bisexual thing is also catching me off guard. It's not enough to have a woman, but you also need a man AND some of them want these men to come into their marriages. Are you serious?!?!!?!? If my husband, boyfriend, friends with benefits, whatever told me that he wanted to bring another woman in my bed I'd raise an eyebrow, but another man!?!? And for his pleasure? Somebody definitely has lost their minds.

In this day and age of cheating, lying and broken marriages don't we already have enough to deal with...notwithstanding the high AIDS rates. No wonder HIV is running rampant through the black community from babies to teens to even grandmothers you would think we would all take better care, yet sadly many women are just so glad to have a man on their arm who pays the bills that they will accept this behavior. Absolutely appalling.

For a taste of exactly how men are getting away with this click here.

And do you all think about this? Is this a fad? Is it going to be the downfall of the black community?

Tell me your thoughts.

Yep...Serious.
