Conversations Of A Sistah

On November 7, 1991 basketball legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson stunned the world by announcing his sudden retirement from the Los Angeles Lakers, after testing positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

At the time, many Americans viewed AIDS as a gay white man’s disease. Until Magic, who is African American and heterosexual, was one of the first sports stars to go public about his HIV-positive status.

Fast forward to today 2014, Johnson is a prominent spokesman for AIDS awareness and a successful businessman, earning millions from a range of ventures, including movie theaters and restaurants. He serves as an example of how a variety of drug treatments have transformed AIDS from a death sentence into a manageable condition for many people in the U.S.

Therefore, some individuals who are sexually active have become relaxed with the reality of this disease, believing they are exempted from contracting it because of modern day treatments and advancements but they could be no further from the truth.

Still, some 25 years after the first AIDS cases were reported, 25 million people worldwide have died of AIDS and another 40 million have been infected with the virus.

Still so many people don’t mind engaging in unprotected sex, they are willing to risk taking a walk on the wild side with their lives and their health for a mere 15 minutes of pleasure. Some people don’t even believe that AIDS or HIV still exists.

Tune in tonight at 8:00 P.M. to “Conversations Of A Sistah” on “Conversations Live” as we discuss how it’s an “Epic fail, if you don’t believe HIV is still alive and well“

Politics, President Obama, State of the union

Pres. Obama is in the “fuck it” stage of his presidency!

January 29, 2014 The ReadyWriter

Did you watch President Obama’s state of the union address last night? I was back and forth with it between “the have’s and the have not’s”.

Word was already OUT and all in the media how President Barack Obama said “he was going to start overriding congress on executive orders to get the sagging economy moving”. Obama is tired of being disrespected and tired of talking to these cry baby ass republicans, so now he’s warned them all publicly that; he’s got a pen and telephone and will start moving things along without them.

The president is tired of negotiating and trying to be fair while the republican’s and congress hold the American people hostage because of their own hatred, prejudices and political agenda’s.

Besides, it’s not as if congress listens to the President’s demands he lays out during the State of the Union address anyway. Last year, only two of his requests were fulfilled by the least productive congress in history, pushing Obama to enact more executive orders without congress’ approval.

Enough is enough!

Now his attitude is “fuck it” I’m the president, it’s time to make shit happen on my own!

Controversy, Michelle Obama, Obesity, Prejudice, Racist, Racist images

GOP Haters going after Michelle Obama

January 27, 2014 The ReadyWriter

No I don’t want to talk about the Grammy’s which aired last night because I didn’t watch! Some of the young artist of today lack talent, class and a sense of decorum and I’d rather not waste my time.

I do however; want to address the Facebook page that was created for the sole purpose of rejecting Subways partnership with Michelle Obama. The image above was listed on their page and is an indication of the racist intent to insult the first lady behind the guise of their gripe.

The creator or creators of this page have twisted the message and the meaning as dictatorship and a deplorable way of insulting the first lady’s efforts. Yet obesity has been cited as a contributing factor to approximately 100,000–400,000 deaths in the United States each year.

With high blood pressure, diabetes and other weight and health related diseases on the rise, how can Michelle Obama’s initiative be so misconstrued?

The bigotry of these individuals are bold and their ignorance heralds the sadness of their misguided reasoning to reject the positive results of the first lady’s initiative’s in the first place.

How sad!!

Chris Christie, Political scandal, Politics

Allegations against NJ Governor Chris Christie mount!

January 24, 2014 The ReadyWriter

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is knee-deep in allegations as his vindictive policies of politics continue to grow against him.

Added to the latest list of scandalous behavior is that the petty NJ Governor enacted political revenge after his administration shut down the DMV office in a large New Jersey city three years ago. Democratic politicians say it was because they opposed his tax policies and worked for his political opponent, John Corzine.

New Jersey state Assemblyman Joe Cryan told a media source, Chris Christie shut down the fourth-largest Motor Vehicle Commission office in Elizabeth, New Jersey as revenge.

‘He shut it down, plain and simple, and of course this was political,’ Cryan said. ‘This was complete retribution. … There was no other possible explanation for it.’

Cryan who was former Gov. John Corzine’s state Democratic chairman, when he ran for re-election in 2009 unsuccessfully against Christie concluded, “Closing the motor vehicle bureau in Elizabeth was a way for Christie to crush three political adversaries with a single stroke of his pen”.

Elizabeth’s longtime mayor, Chris Bollwage, got under Chris Christie’s skin soon after he took Corzine’s job, joining Cryan to publicly oppose what they called a ‘flawed’ plan to cap the rate of annual property tax increases in New Jersey. So to get back at the Elizabeth mayor, Christie closed down one of the busiest DMV offices in his city and now taxpayers in the region have to trek it to other cities to get their plates or licenses renewed, and politicians say the wait times have doubled.

Christie and his insiders are used to getting their way no matter what the consequence are to constituents and families, which is why his alleged innocence in this huge bridgegate scandal is hard to believe.

Looks like Christie’s prospects of a 2016 presidential run are dimmered each week as every political adversary he’s ever had, is coming out of the woodwork in record numbers.

Conversations Of A Sistah, Freedom 2 Twerk’, Holidays, Martin Luther King, Michigan party promoters

“Twerking to be seen was not a part of King’s dream!” Tonight on Conversations Of A Sistah

January 22, 2014 The ReadyWriter

Disturbing images of Dr. Martin Luther King turned up all over the internet by Michigan party promoters, advertising freedom to twerk parties in honor of the King Holiday weekend.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s head was photo shopped onto the body of a man (pictured above) wearing a gold chain and throwing up “west side” hand gestures to advertise a holiday party.

The flier, which was created by promoter group “Mid-Michigan Teen Parties“, billed the event as a chance to express one undeniable right that wasn’t apart of King’s agenda and that is, the “Freedom 2 Twerk.”

Other fliers were also circulating promoting a King Holiday party weekend by quoting excerpts from his famous “I have a dream” speech. “Free At Last” anyone 21 and over free until midnight”.

Dr. Martin Luther King was a champion for justice, equality, tolerance and non-violence and these images and gestures promoting such parties in honor of a holiday activist fought so hard to observe, are highly disrespectful!

Be sure and “tune-in” with me tonight at 8:00 P.M. to “Conversations Of A Sistah” on “Conversations Live” as I address such disrespect while discussing the real intent of the Rev. Martin Luther King’s dream.

I will be taking your phone calls on the air at 1 (347) 426-3645.
