Homosexuality

Michael Sams is saying “There’s Racism in The Gay Community”

MICHAEL_SMAX633_0Imagine that? Being Black and homosexual but also being black and discriminated against!

Michael Sams was proud to be the first openly gay football player drafted to the NFL. I never believed Sams was serious about football in the first place, because it was like he was “gay first” and made the game secondary.

Well now Sams is speaking out and complaining that there’s racism in the Gay community. Sam, 27 told Attitude Magazine:

“I will say this, since I came out, I did not realize how much racism there actually is in the gay community” “It’s terrible.

People have told me I’m not gay enough, people have told me I’m not black enough. I don’t know what that means,” said Sam.

“You want to be accepted by other people but you don’t even accept someone just because of the color of their skin? I just don’t understand that at all. How are you saying that, ‘oh, I want people to accept me because I’m gay but I don’t accept you because you’re black, or because you’re white or because you’re Asian’.”

Personally I think he’s trying to make a name for himself instead of focusing on his career and the thrill of the game.

Would you still Date -or- Marry Him, if he made “Less Money than you?” on “Conversations Of A Sistah

The ReadyWriter

Indepenent-woman-shaidysworldIn today’s society  women are high achievers, successful and financially secure. They’re buying homes and investing in property and basically holding their own. Women are no longer waiting on the dream of meeting a prince and living in his home with 2.5 children and the white picket fence. Today’s women are independently stable and self-sufficient.

The successful woman have choices because they no longer need to worry about some man supporting or taking care of them? However, if you’re a woman who is in the top 10% of earners and you INSIST that your man out earn you, then you’ve now eliminated 90% of the dating population. And that’s before you’ve considered kindness, compatibility, attraction, values, height, weight, age, humor, children, etc. Doesn’t that sound like a self-defeating edict? Sure does.

Tune-in tonight at 6:30 p.m. EST on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via Blog Talk Radio as I weigh in on the subject “Should Women date -or- Marry a man who makes LESS money than she does?”

Controversy, What he said, Wrong advice

Teacher Who Told Student Her Purpose Was to Have Sex and Babies Resigns

The ReadyWriter

shaniaya-hunter-550x279Cory Hunter (pictured left above), is the teacher who told a 16-year-old female student that, “her only purpose in life” was to “have sex and have babies” resigned after the story hit the fan.

Hunter resigned from his position as a teacher in the Greene County, GA. Public School System during a heated school board meeting on Monday.

School Superintendent Chris Houston said Hunter apologized for any “disruption” caused by his behavior.

Hunter reportedly said, “I’m sorry. I quit.”

Shaniaya Hunter (no relation to her teacher), a junior at Greene County High School, has an eye condition which caused her to miss a number of days from class.

After a few unexcused absences, Shaniaya asked Hunter (who is not related to her), if she could take a makeup test. But Hunter allegedly said, “I have been around for 37 years and clearly, you are the dumbest girl that I have ever met.”

He added: “You know what your purpose is going to be? To have sex and have children, because you ain’t gonna never be smart.”

Shaniaya told ABC News affiliate WSB-TV that Hunter was known for insulting other students in his class. So she recorded his outburst on her iPad.

“It really hurt me inside,” Hunter said.

Her teacher should have resigned, he saved the school board the trouble of dismissing him for such cruel, degrading and incentive remarks.

Prayer… how has it impacted women in history? on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

Many women in history have contributed their success and many achievements to the power of prayer. Although African slaves worked the cotton fields picking cotton, many times they could be heard singing hymns of praise and prayer despite the hardship from working “sun up until sun down” on different slave plantations. Regardless of their sufferings, trials and tribulations they believed in the power of prayer.

Historically, African-American people have been known to be very spiritual. From the old Negro spirituals sung during slavery, to using prayer as a catalyst for divine intervention during the civil rights movement.

Do you believe prayer is divine intervention? How has prayer sustained your well being or those women from your generation?
