Slang -or- Slurred, the use of the “N” Word…Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

Celebrity chef and cook, Paula Deen is in hot water for the use of the “N” word in a derogatory manner and recently Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, Riley Cooper used the “N” word as a racial slur at a country music concert. Both celebrities have been punished for using the word nigger; Deen has been since fired from the Food Network and Riley has been suspended and ordered to seek counseling.  

Yet when “Pookie and Pokey” from around the way refer to their homeys as “their nigga’s” the inception of this word become their terms of endearment.  My question to you: where’s the distinction?

In discussion I’m told, the use of the “N” word heavily depends on the context or perspective with which the word is used. When the majority of individuals feel, the use of the word Nigger was and still is; a word of disrespect.

My uncles use the word, my brothers use the word, some of my male friends use the word and a lot of the comments that I read in the “comments section” of this blog are riddled with the word. 

Join me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I discuss the “N” word – nigga verses nigger. Is this a hypocritical distinction from the African American race? And is the word still disrespectful?

I will be taking your calls, questions and comments on this subject, so call me on air at 1-347-426-3645 and press “1” to speak to the host.

Until then, sound off here and I’ll meet you tonight on the air.

Celebrity Seed: Magic Johnson’s Son

EJ Johnson in LA

Magic Johnson’s son E.J. Johnson was seen sashaying down a street in Los Angeles.

The Rundown blogger writes “Magic Johnson must be proud of all of his accomplishments in life, including raising his son Earvin in all his glory… but we’re almost sure that even Magic is ashamed of his son’s shoe and wardrobe collection.”

Ladies and Gentlemen be weary of karma because this is Magic’s. He used and abused a lot of women in his NBA ball playing heydays and now his son is a man wanting, wearing and living in the spirit of a woman.  This young man even carries a murse (man version of a purse).

So Tawana Brawley lied!

The ReadyWriter

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

We all remember this case that stayed in the news and pushed Al Sharpton to the forefront as an activist.

In 1987, Tawana Brawley the then 15-year-old teen who falsely accused former New York prosecutor Steven Pagones, 52, of gang raping and kidnapping her, while naming him a racist.

Brawley had been well hidden and alluding the scandal by living in rural town in Virginia under the alias of Tawana Thompson and Tawana Gutierrez. Well Tawana has been ordered to pay Mr. Pagones $431,000 in damages, which Brawley sent him her first payment in ten (10) checks totaling $3,764.61 last week. This comes after a Virginia court ordered the money garnished from Brawley’s wages as a nurse.

This payment comes 15 years after a court ruled that Brawley defamed Pagones with a nasty hoax that ruined his life and sullied his reputation.

Brawley’s advisers in the case; the Reverend Al Sharpton, and attorneys C. Vernon Mason and Alton Maddox have already paid, or are paying their debt to Pagones. Until now, Brawley, 41, has refused to pay out but she is now forced to cough up $627 each month to the man who is one of three whose name she dragged through the mud in 1987.

Brawley will possibly pay this debt to Pagones for the rest of her life however, he is willing to drop the debt owed by Brawley if she would simply confess that she lied on him. Pagones also made note how, Sharpton and his crew have not spoken about this case since the outcome. I’m sure all men involved realize that Brawley made a fool out of them all.

Conversations Of A Sistah, George Zimmerman, Law and order, Not guilty verdict, Tracy L. Bell, Trayvon Martin

“Not Guilty” So why is God being blamed? Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

George Zimmerman (right), a neighborhood watch volunteer in Sanford, said he was acting in self-defense when he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, 2012.

Since the “not guilty” verdict of George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin, the media has been abuzz with all kinds of outlandish and racist rhetoric regarding the outcome of the case. One Ivy League religious studies professor even called God a white racist in the wake of Zimmerman’s acquittal.

The questions being asked to me on and offline is, where does God stand in all of this? Why has God turned his back on this tragic situation? People are searching for answers and can’t understand why God has allowed such an injustice act to prevail.

Join me live on the air tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I address God’s position concerning this matter.
