"THE WEAVE-A-HOLIC" ..Hair Hostage In A-merry-kka Yesterday I went 2 a bookstore slash culture mind candy shop, that was on it's way outta business..SMFH! (DEMOLISHED By NEGLECT) ..The owner Niki and I chopped it up a bit about the traps of segregation., and how we as a ppl lost so much of not only our culture and businesses but how we've lost ourselves, but how we've become spiritually bankrupt in the process of becoming part of A-Merry-kkk-a. (Shouts @ "WE ARE BEAUTIFUL" it's all part of the plan) This letter is an heartbreaking yet realistic example. ========================================= A partially sad slash partially hilarious blog that 50 Cent's fake babys mama wrote in essence.com! As the threads of the grown-out tracks were being snipped, I broke out my laptop and began my ritualistic daily web search. I go from news of the day to articles/blogs about the news of the day, ending up on entertainment/gossip/fashion stuff. But that day, something caught my attention and trumped all of the glowing reviews of President Obama’s health care speech: It was Tyra’s hair. National Real Hair Day? I missed that one…In fact, on National Real Hair Day, I was calling Extensions Plus in L.A. to make sure they had enough of the 20” “relaxed roots” texture hair that I love oh so much (and that keeps selling out like crazy!), and making an appointment to get my hair, I mean, my weave, hooked up. So Tyra, while I didn’t take part in your observance, I just want to say: “WOW!” You are such a brave woman for breaking the chains that bound you since your teenage years! What courage that took, for you to expose yourself to millions of people! Such fearlessness! Oh, how I wish I had the guts to do that. I guess I’m much too much of an insecure, self-loathing Negro for all that self-acceptance foolishness. I’m glad we got down to solving the mystery of what’s under your lace-front, though. I mean seriously, it was “THE” question that has perplexed the world over. And now we see that there’s a beautiful head of hair underneath it all, hair that was surprisingly relaxed and ready for the world. Whodathunkit?! If I had the same length and fullness of hair that you have, I might take my weave out too. Ha!!!! I’m just playing! Even if I DID have your “real” hair, I’d still be wearing a few tracks or clip-ons up in there. Why? Because I’m straight weave fo life, kid!!! Ima ride ride wit this weave, die die with this weave!! Let me break it down for you: See, I loooooove taking new hair out of the bag, combing through it with my fingers, holding it up with my two hands, and burying my face in it. Mmmm, mmmm, mmm! Nothing like a new batch of zig-zag curly to get your self esteem out of the dumps! The feeling of getting my hair, I mean, my weave done over. I feel human again. I feel sexy. I feel powerful. It makes me feel…it makes me feel…it makes feel like a natural woman!!!I can be whatever, whoever I want to be with the stroke of a sewing needle… With long brown tresses and a tan, I’m Pocahontas, ’cause I got Indian in my family.With easy waves, I AM bohemian rhapsody goddess personified. And now that I got blond highlights! What!? I know I look like Beyonce! You can’t tell me nothing!.. Uh oh, uh oh! And then I looked up from my computer, and caught a glimpse in the mirror of my head minus the long weavy locks. I looked crazy! Awww hell naw! I looked over at the new batch of hair sitting off to the side waiting to join forces with me. Damnit, I’m trapped, I thought to myself. I can’t let it go. I am powerless over it. Just when I think I’m done,it pulls me back in! Now I guess I can get help for my self-loathing addiction.I can learn to accept myself in my entirety. I can emancipate myself from that which keeps me locked-up. I can embrace the natural state of things. Yup, I can do all of that…But don’t hold your breath! Hi, my name is Joy, and I’m a weave-a-holic. Hats HAIR Off 2 Solange Knowles who said..she just could'nt be held hostage 2 the Weave any longer .."You don't look like the average woman anymore ...You look Beautiful Sis!!, Joys Story VIA: essence.com

"ARMED IN AMERICA"

Due 2 the OPEN state of mind that many Amerikkkans have all of a sudden began 2 UNcautiously display , Gunsales in America are @ an all tyme high ever since Obama started his run against McCain 4 Office. This post seemed 2 fit the description of "2morrows Yesterday" ..that is, if the 2 can occupy the same space. Peep a visual diary By Kyle Gassidy called "Armed America" itz strictly about - gun-owners with theirs guns! Kyle Gassidy has traveled 15,000 miles over two years photographing Americans in their home and asking one quesiton "Why do you own a gun?" They all answered: "To protect MY FAMILY during this Recession!"

Gunstores can't keep guns due 2 the Obama gun ban scare? Peep More Beautiful Game @ ARMED AMERICA .STAY WOKE

President Carter: Obama’s A Victim of....RACISM When an ELEPHANT is in the room ...say "It's In The DAM ROOM!!" Hats off 2 Former President Jimmy Carter 4 saying Obama is getting hiz ass handed 2 him. Here are some quotes from a man who has earned the right 2 say whatever he wants. "Growing up in Georgia helped him know racism when he sees it, and what President Obama is experiencing, is definitely racism." "I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man," "I live in the South, and I've seen the South come a long way, and I've seen the rest of the country that share the South's attitude toward minority groups at that time, particularly African Americans." "And that racism inclination still exists. And I think it's bubbled up to the surface because of the belief among many white people, not just in the South but around the country, that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country. It's an abominable circumstance, and it grieves me and concerns me very deeply." President Carter called Wilson's comment "dastardly" and said that OBAMA should be treated with respect.

"A-Merry-KKKa Loves Erasing NEGROS!" Look it's Ramadan so i've stayed away from this story like a knife fighting Saudi Arabian would stay away from A-Meery-KKKan airlines, strictly cause Food, Sex, H2o and ANGER can break a sistas sacrifice and daily fasting practices b4 the sun can set. If u're surprised by this big business corporations BLACK FACED RASCISM...set ur alarm clock 2 whatever tyme it is, WHEREVER U ARE @ this very moment..and WAKE UP!! (school daze, Lawrence Fishburn voice) I'M SURE YAW KNOW THIS WAS AN AD THAT WAS POSTED IN POLAND..where it was probably assumed that know1 would pay attention 2 the fact that the photoshopped white mans hands on the pic are BOLDLY brown..hahaha-- Maybe u're asking.. "How did the blackman get erased?,No why?" No the best question yet is.."How were the tech savy geniuses @ MICROSOFT unprofessional enuff 2 get caught?" ..now that's what's really scary..better yet HILARIOUS! SMH..Such DUMB ASSES! Microsoft conviently used their very own Twitter feed to apologize in the statement below...How appropriate..? “We are looking into the details of this situation,” a company spokesman said. “We apologise and are in the process of pulling down the image.”..Later, a spokeswoman for Microsoft in Poland said that the doctoring was a “simple mistake” and was not racially motivated. The picture was taken in September last year, she said, and all four people responsible for editing it had left the company some time ago. “We would really like to apologise,” she said. “We are a multiracial company and there isn’t a chance any of us are racist.” (This is purposely typed in GREEN..) ..because from the last sentence of this statement we all know that white ppl live off of chicken and watermelon just like all black people do and MICROSOFT could never be RACIST. Now file this in your mental cemetary of 2009's fouls, bleeps, bloopers and random acts of phukery.. --and use it l8er, 4 An uncontrollable laff @ stupidity ..and now back 2 ur regularly scheduled lives .FIN

"Minimum Wage Increases 2morrow!!" 1st of all...this is a DAME SHAME!! How can minimum wage in AMERICA even be in single digit #'s b4 the decimal? If anything in the world should be made illegal- "Insufficient Funds" should be it! It's like an employer saying 2 it's employee... "You know..If I did'nt have 2 pay you I would'nt" How can any HUMAN BEING be afforded QUALITY of LIFE @ $7.25 an HOUR? Millions of America's low-wage workers are about to get a raise. On Friday, the federal minimum wage will jump from $6.55 to $7.25 an hour. Congress approved that raise two years ago. Back then, lawmakers didn't know the country would be in the grips of a deep recession this summer. And now, economists are debating how the increase will play out. Some worry that forcing higher wages will hurt small businesses when they're most vulnerable. Others say raising the minimum wage will help the economy by generating more consumer spending.
