I know it's been awhile since i've posted. Whats the old saying "have nothing good to say...say nothing at all." So i've been hushed by my own beliefs.
-Last week i experienced a bit of drama with my mom suffering another stroke, then joyous relief as she made it through and returned home. All is fine an I am once again thankful for the blessing of her in my life.
-Not much else meant anything when you are dealing with a sick loved one, or missing a loved one, you tend to only concentrate on their well-being, thus the world goes by...and before i know it, it's over...just like that. God moves me through the storm with expert efficiency, and perfect peace.
-I made the foolish mistake of commenting on one of Yahoo's post about the election, our President and race relations. SMH, what a fiasco, the multitude of negative comments and hate. I immediately felt my blood pressure rise and had to stop reading the comments, especially the ones directed towards me. There are so many angry people here in the states and i have to ask myself why? Why? When they have just about everything at their disposal...every opportunity to be more loving, caring and yet they only want to be angry, be angry at the president and angry at Black people, and Hispanics.
Telling me to "get over it", well sir, i will never get over it, it being "slavery". I don't hear anyone telling the Jews to "get over it", or the American Indians "get over it". So why should i? There is a reason that race relations are not any better in this country, you know what that is, they never "got over it"...Slavery. They seem to think every single day we wake up and blame "the man" for our shortcomings and yet we have survived and succeeded in every field of life. To blame race relations on President Obama, is a cop out...your hate has been festering for decades and like any festering sore, it will reveal itself and cause much pain. So, i say all this to say...i won't be frequenting anymore Yahoo posts or comments to well after the elections...i don't align myself with negative people or influence, it does me no good.
-Happy Sunday y'all! Looking forward to a great week. For those in the path of the storm, stay safe...need you back here, pronto! Much love to you all and a big Congrats to Babygirls New Teaching Position!

I think that part of the complex reasons that people don't get over it when it comes to race relations is that it covers up their own failings. Instead of things being the way that they are because of their own fail (or I would even buy the corruption of gov't for $500, Alex!), it is far easier to pick on another group of people and blame them for what is really a personal dilemma.
Glad that you got your Mom and she is doing well!! Take care of yourself and watch those Yahoo boards..!
@Big Mark 243, so true and thank you, oh and no more Yahoo boards for me...taking it easy...easy like Sunday morning.
Miz!
[I've been silent on writing & reading] & I've missed your words, your tweets, your spirit.
Happy that your mother is home recovering, a blessing indeed.
Listen, I stay off of those boards. This country is so divided, and those that have never experienced the effects of slavery or experienced racism will never understand so I refuse to have conversations about race with anyone other than an Anthropologist, a professor of History or God *_*
With thoughts & prayers ... I Am
@B D Tramuel - Missed you too! Been silent as well and thanks for dropping by. Hope all is well!
I'm glad to hear that your mother is alright.
I'm with you though, why must we take the high road?!? Why must we get over it?!? That's bullshit!!! That's absolute bullshit!!!
