Self Hatred Is Real Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Tennis star Serena Williams is the topic of conversation these days, since getting engaged and pregnant by Reddit co-founder, Alexis Ohanian. And according to the greatest female tennis player and quite possibly the greatest female athlete of all time, out of all the men she’s dated, the white men especially her now fiancé, have treated her better than the Black men she’s dated. Many are saying, it’s self-hatred when you marry and pro-create outside of your race.

We’re all entitled to our opinions because you can’t control who you love or can you? But when you cohabitate and pro-create outside of your race, is it self hate? When you long to have mixed children because you want your children mixed breed, is that self-hate? Do you look in the mirror and hate the person staring back at you?

Join me tonight at 6:30 p.m. EST on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via blog talk radio for my commentary on “Self Hatred“.

Meet the Woman Barack Obama Reportedly Proposed to Before Michelle?

The ReadyWriter

Barack Obama clearly ended up with the right woman, but with news of his pre–Michelle marriage proposal making headlines, our curiosity about Sheila Miyoshi Jager was piqued.

In Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama, Jager told Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer David J. Garrow that she had been seriously involved with the future president in the mid- to late ’80s and early ’90s. Not only did they move in together, but he proposed marriage — twice.

However, Obama’s political ambitions reportedly did them in; a mutual friend of the couple recounted that Obama explained that “the lines are very clearly drawn: If I am going out with a white woman, I have no standing here.” (For the record, Jager is of Dutch and Japanese ancestry.) Garrow wrote that Obama “felt trapped between the woman he loved and the destiny he knew was his,” implying that race factored into the Chicago politico’s decision to settle down with Michelle.

According to the book, Jager met Obama in the mid-’80s while doing community organizing in Chicago. Things turned romantic and they moved in together.

“In the winter of ’86, when we visited my parents, he asked me to marry him,” Jager, 53, recalled. She said that she turned down his proposal not for racial reasons but because her parents were concerned about Obama’s professional prospects and thought that Jager, then 23, was too young. (On the issue of race, a close family friend of Jager’s parents said that Obama came across to them like “a white, middle-class kid.”)

He Was All Black Power, But Left His Wife For A White Woman!

The ReadyWriter

Devastated fans of actor Jesse Williams are still recovering from the news that he filed for a divorce from his wife, Aryn Drake-Lee. Allegedly, the blue eyed Grey’s Anatomy star cheated on his wife with co-star Minka Kelly.

But there is debate whether he actually “cheated” on his wife if they were separated for over a year.

Williams seeks joint physical custody of the couple’s 2 children, Sadie, 4, and Maceo, 2.

According to blogger theJasmineBrand, who first broke the story, Williams is not denying his wife spousal support.

Drake-Lee, a real estate broker, certainly earns enough money to support herself and her children.

The estranged couple met in 2007 when he worked as a schoolteacher in the New York City public school system. They were wed in 2010.

“She’s been with me through all different facets of my career,” Williams told USA Today in 2010. “She’s stuck with me through thick and thick and thin. We know each other in and out.”
