I love cold weather. I grew up in it. The cold winds whipping off the Mississippi River were Mother’s milk to me. Perhaps it has to do with my being born in December. I don’t know. Maybe my Winter break trips to Buffalo or Quebec are the cause. In any event, I love a good [...]

In two years, I have successfully killed 2 computers and 6 hard drives (four external). It’s not that I’m hard on them, I’m just a tad demanding. The majority of my work is computer based and I need to make certain that everything is fast and furious. I show no mercy. Unfortunately, computer usage isn’t a [...]

Live your life in such a way that when you wake in the morning and your feet hit the floor that Satan shudders and says “OH hell, she’s awake!” Live your life in such a way that haters cannot touch you, affect you in away. Live your life in such a way that the angles [...]

I have been in a multi–ethnic relationship for more than twenty years. I love my husband dearly and have no plans to leave our marraige. I am often asked why I feel offended when I see Black men in relationships with white women. It’s complicated. A black woman’s problem with black men, MY problem with these couples [...]

After a year in office President Obama has given America back to us. The “little people” , the true Americans and patriots finally have a voice. Right now our voices are soft, barely above a whisper. “We the People” was no longer the rights of the top one percent. One year after an historic inauguration, [...]

I wasn’t impressed with Tiger today. Of course, if he isn’t on the golf course he doesn’t impress me anyway. Everything about his “press conference” today wreaked of the arrogance that he has displayed these past three months. He owes his fans everything and today he gave us nothing – not even an I.O.U. It [...]

When I was in college, I took a course called “Black Women Studies”. One of the books we used was called But Some of Us Are Brave. It told of the history of Black women in this country that is long and painful. I do not want to compare apples to oranges. At any point [...]

I am not gay. I wasn’t born gay and changed later. I have always been attracted to the opposite sex. Normally this discussion would not cross my radar except it was mentioned in the President’s State of the Union address. Don’t ask, don’t tell. Yeah right. It was dumb when President Clinton brought it up, [...]

It wasn’t as if I awoke one day with my hair heavy and swinging below my waist. I wish I could tell you the big secret, but I can’t. There isn’t one. Okay, maybe there’s “don’t cut your hair”. I use lots of conditioner to keep my hair moist and supple. Dreds can become stiff [...]

President Obama gave his first State of the Union address after being in office for a year. Once again, Black people were left out of the equation. Had the President taken a look at Black America, he would have seen a rise in unemployment, more women filing for public assistance, test scores plummeting. He would [...]
