“Uncle Tom’s Wife Demands Apology From Anita Hill”

The ReadyWriter

I know this heifer done lost, whatever was left of her everlasting mind!!!!!

Anita Hill made history, gained national exposure and turned the spotlight on sexual harassment in the workplace in 1991, when she testified at the Senate confirmation hearings of Clearance Thomas.

Here we are almost 2 decades later and the wife of the Supreme Court Justice (Virginia Thomas), is demanding an apology from Anita Hill.

In a crazy ass, voice mail message left on a phone in Anita Hill’s office, at Brandeis University where she is a law professor, Virginia Thomas said the following:

“I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband”

“So give it some thought and certainly pray about this and come to understand why you did what you did. Okay have a good day.”

Virginia Thomas, (who has clearly been sipping way too much tea) has come to greater prominence as a tea party activist and has confirmed that she was serious about an apology.

Of course Anita Hill said “Hell no!!!!” well she didn’t say that exactly, I did…Hill thought the call was a prank and reported it to campus police, who passed it on to the FBI.

“I certainly thought the call was inappropriate. I have no intention of apologizing because I testified truthfully about my experience and I stand by that testimony,” Hill said in a statement.

See., Anita Hill put Virginia Thomas’ crazy (living in the past ass) on blast through the media and didn’t even entertain her decade old gesture with a direct response.

“Whoopi & Joy Walk Out On Bill O’Reilly”

The ReadyWriter

The conversation got heated on the View this morning, as the women were in a discussion with Bill O’Reilly concerning the proposed Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero.

Clearly Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar are stark supporters of President Obama because the minute O’Reilly said: “President Obama’s qualified support of the center was evidence of the “gulf” between him and the American people” well those were fighten words as the women strongly disagreed with O’Reilly’s claim.

Don’t get me wrong, the President had every right to voice his opinion regarding the controversy surrounding this mosque near ground zero, as Behar shot back “This is America!” and there is a such thing as freedom of speech.

“Listen to me because you’ll learn!” O’Reilly interrupted with his arrogant ass.

“We’re Americans! We agree with him!” Behar added.

“70% of Americans don’t want that mosque there. So don’t give me the we business!” O’Reilly replied.

More heated crosstalk followed, until O’Reilly said, “Muslims killed us on 9/11!” That really set Behar and Goldberg off.

“Oh my God!” Behar said.

“That is such bullshit!” Goldberg said. “Extremists did that!”

Finally both ladies walked off on O’Reilly, don’t believe me? Check out the video (if you care) and see for yourself.

“What’s Your Motive For Marriage?”

The ReadyWriter

I was in a conversation the other evening with this friend of mine, when he started talking about the reasons people marry.

Call me a fool because I’m morally conscious but, I believe love is the only reason two people should get married and the fact that, they want to spend the rest of their lives together.

My friend declared, my reasons may be justified however, in this day and age a little unrealistic. He then gave me “6 reasons” why couples marry and love was not one of them.

1. Money, and when you have an indispensable amount, he said, life is so much easier. Yes money can provide all the material possessions your heart desires but you can’t take any of it with you when you leave this earth.

2. Power, and with power comes prestige, and when you marry into it, you become powerful by default.

3. Family ties, when your families already know the person you’re going to marry.

4. Children, if you wish to have them or become pregnant during your courtship.

5. Living habits, you both share the same thing and you both live the same way (i.e., if he’s messy and you’re messy – you’ll both live happily ever after in a pigs pen).

6. Lifestyle, drinker’s, druger’s, swinger’s, porn stars, Bible thumpers and partiers, those who share similar interest have ways of finding each other.

While my friend’s lists and reasons may be true, none of the above would work for me.

For what reason (s) would you marry?? I want to hear from you…

Feel free to add your own lists as well.

“You Read This Blog But Really Don’t Know Me?

The ReadyWriter

I received a gift card in the mail yesterday from a loyal reader.,(who shall remain anonymous). His gift card came along with a CD from “Drake” who is a rapper and a singer I’m told.

This loyal reader wrote the following:

Dear Ms. Tracy,

“I love the new artist “Drake” and his song “Fancy” reminds me of you” “Go ahead, Go ahead, you fancy huh, oh you fancy huh, oh you fancy huh, oh you fancy huh” – “Nails done, hair done, everything done, nails done, hair done, everything done”

Oh you fancy huh, oh you fancy huh, oh you fancy huh, oh you fancy huh, You getting ready so I know we gon be here awhile, in the bathroom flat irons and nail files, spending hours in salons on your hairstyle, in the mall steady racking up all dem air miles”.

“Well aren’t you a breath of fresh air from all these superficial gold digging bitches in here” they get a baller and think that they aint got to pick a career, guess they plan on sucking dicks until some millions appear”

“I met you at a book event in CT and then again in NY and checked out how your style was tight, your hair and nails be done and you greeted me with your smile, make it so bad, you can take it up or bring it down…. Damn I think you bad!” “Damn I think you fine” “You had this brief case on wheels and I wanted to cop a feel”.

“I hope you enjoy the CD and know that reading your blog is like an inside look into your life and mind”

“Peace”

I never heard of this artist Drake, nor do I listen to his music and while I’m on the subject; I don’t listen to T.I., Swizz Beatz, Sean Combs, Neyo, Lil Wayne, Shawty Low, Soldier Boy, Kanye West, Lady Gaga and any other new rap artist out today.

It is understandable how I might be viewed and superficially perceived, however the core of my being is so much more than my fancy (i.e.,hair and nails).

In addition, the foul and profane language of the lyrics in this CD are both degrading and extremely disrespectful. 

But thank you reader, the thought was sweet, your heart was in the right place and the gift card commendable; but trust and believe, my qualities are extreme and far more meaningful than you are able to see.

“Fantasia Just Wanted To End It All”

The ReadyWriter

 
“I didn’t have any fight in me. I didn’t care about anything. I just wanted out”

The stupid “American Idol” winner admitted in her VH1 Behind The Music special, according to people.com 

“I just sat in the closet and looked at the mirror and took all the pills in the bottle,” she adds. “I wanted to go to sleep and just be at peace. I knew exactly what I was doing. You can’t accidentally take a whole bottle of pills.”

Fantasia admitted that, she was tired of people doing her wrong, dealing with men, her father and her family.

Fantasia even spoke about her relationship with married Antwan Cook, whom she met in 2009 at a T-Mobile store where he worked. She said, he told her he was no longer with his wife, Paula.

“When I met him, he was separated … wasn’t living in his home. He didn’t want to be back with his wife – that is what I was told,” Fantasia explained. “I remember waking up in the hospital [and thinking], ‘It didn’t work, I’m still here in this hell hole. Still here with all this drama going on.'”

Sounds like the American idol winner is oblivious to the fact that, this is all drama that she created and was apart of.
