“Is Old-Fashion Phased Out People?”

The ReadyWriter

Good day, CEO Readers!!

Again, I oppose the question, has old fashion played out along with answering machines, rotary dialing and busy signals?  It goes without saying that this translates to romance, dating and marriage too!

Can two people come together and find a happy and peaceful medium between the new and the old?

In a conversation I had the other evening with my crony, he said, “women of this generation don’t do what they used to do back in the day and my oh my how times have changed!”

The conversation came about as we were listening to the lyrics of a favorite Whitney Houston song of mine: “Things just ain’t the way that they used to be · Back in the day when a man meant security · He’d be working hard all week, baby kick back and throw up your feet, let me fix you a treat, so it might be love and sweet”

The song talks about “old school love” when he ran down how the ladies today are not old school anymore.

He said: 

  • Women don’t cook,
  • They don’t behave like ladies,
  • They don’t give you anything to look forward to. (meaning they give-up the goods too quick)
  • They don’t care for and/or about their man
  • They don’t trust men
  • And they don’t take off their man’s shoes anymore (The one thing his mother always did for his father). I died laughing at that one.

What are your thoughts? My CEO ladies, in particular! Do you find this to be true or a little embellished?

In the meantime, here’s the song for your listening pleasure. 🙂

“72 Percent Of Black Babies Are Born”

The ReadyWriter

To single mothers…

A new study shows that, unwed mothers are giving birth at an alarming rate choosing to raise their babies alone and without the fathers.

The black community’s 72 percent rate eclipses that of most other groups, who were born to unwed mothers in 2008, the most recent year for which government figures are available.

Natalie Carroll (a Houston based OB/GYN) said, “Girls think they don’t have to get married, when I tell them children deserve both a mother and a father”. “And that a mother cannot give all of what a man can give.” “A truly involved father figure offers more fullness to a child’s life.”

There are so many arguments as to why black women have children without marriage.

The black community has fallen into this horribly dysfunctional equilibrium with unwed mothers and the situation just doesn’t work.”

Blacks as a group will never be equal while they have this situation going on, where the vast majority of children do not have fathers in the home married to their mother, involved in their lives, investing in them and investing in the next generation.

Instead these single mothers are raising unruly children, disrespectful, bitter with resentment and enraged with hate.

Do you think this “pandemic” is as big a cause of concern as these experts seem to think? Or is it perfectly possible to raise a well-balanced child and create a stable community without marriage?

Sound off CEO fam, what do you think?

“His Name Is Malcolm L. Mickle And Today”

The ReadyWriter

He didn’t even bother to vote!!!!

He’s a school teacher and an educator, yet he was too lazy to get out and vote fam.

Our ancestors took beatings and abuse for the right to vote, some of them even died; yet we take these things for granted by being lazy and slothful.

I’m asking that your share with Malcolm the importance of exercising his right to vote.

“I Sold This Apple iPad Today For $200”

The ReadyWriter

Yes I did….when the retail value including all of its accessories were originally $1,053.00

I received the iPad 5 months ago as a (10 year in business) anniversary gift and hated it to the core! So parting with it was not in such sorrow.

The buyer of the iPad is thrilled to death, that I sold it so cheap; the gifter on the other hand, won’t share in the same sentiment I’m sure.

Humility is better than haughtiness, the rule to live by when dealing with me.

“Tyler Perry’s Movie Murdered By Critics”

The ReadyWriter

The multi-tasking movie maker has done it again, Tyler Perry’s new movie “For Colored Girls” hits theatres on November 5 with an all-star cast featuring Janet Jackson, Phylicia Rashad, Whoopi Goldberg and Thandie Newton just to name a few.

However my good friend “CB” who is an editor to movie critics said, “the reviews were written and they are not good.” “They killed it and called “For Colored Girls” — “a train wreck.” “They didn’t like it and said it was a step back for Tyler Perry”.

Why kill the film two weeks early? He said, “The studio wanted early publicity”

Last week, Perry appeared on “Oprah” in a show that appeared to be more like a psychiatric session; the over-sharing of Perry’s sexual abuse as a child, didn’t do much to promote the movie

Perry adapted the original play by Ntozake Shange‘s “For Colored Girls,” a string of poems that depicted the lives of black women in the 1970s. Of course Perry changed the script and added his own spin to this new version.

Will you see “For Colored Girls” when it opens nationwide on November 5?
