The Destructive Power of Hate, Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Hate is an extremely strong and powerful emotion, and if it is not dealt with accordingly it can kill.

Hate has the power to pollute your spirit, poison your soul and seep into all of the relationships that surround you. Hate turned outward is both dangerous and ugly. It can motivate violent crimes and damaging behaviors.

Hatred can stem from many different roots with an end result of bitterness, which will eventually destroy your soul.

Since the overall effects of hatred are so physically harmful and emotionally devastating, some people live their entire lives developing illnesses when the underlying root of it all is hate!!

Race Appropriation, who owns it? Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Race Appropriation, or cultural appropriation is when someone else adopts a style from a race that is not his or her own. But that’s not the whole story, appropriation refers to a particular power dynamic in which members of a dominant culture take elements from a culture of people who have been systematically oppressed by that dominant group. It’s fine to take aspects of another culture but when it permeates the masses, there lies the problem.

Recently in an interview with the breakfast club Azalia Banks slammed Cardi B for trying to impersonate a black woman. Cardi B is among a group of white and Hispanic rappers who are heavily promoted by the media as acceptable crossover hip-hop artists. This is not sitting well with other celebrities.

In a recent interview with the Breakfast Club, Banks dissed Cardi by calling her an “illiterate, untalented rat” and a “caricature of a black woman,” then dismissed the rapper as a one-hit wonder and not influential at all.

Several other artist have imitated us in the past as well. You have Eminen, Vanilla Ice, Jon B, Miley Cyrus, Iggy Izalea and Bruno Mars just to name a few.

So what is so wrong with imitating black R&B artist, rappers and entertainers?

We’re Talking a Starbucks Boycott, Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Starbucks “mutually parted ways” with the manager, named only as Holly, who called 911 to report that two men refused to leave the 18th and Spruce Street location on last Thursday. Another patron uploaded cell phone video of the men being arrested, saying the two men were racially profiled.

Starbucks, is facing fierce criticism after two black men were arrested at a Philadelphia store, sparking accusations of racial profiling over what the company’s chief executive now calls a “reprehensible” incident.

In a statement, their CEO Kevin Johnson gave his deepest apologies” on Saturday to the two men who were taken out of the store in handcuffs by at least six officers on Thursday. SIX!!!! A store manager had asked the two men to leave after they attempted to use the bathroom without purchases. The men said they were waiting for a friend, their attorney later said. The manager then called 911 for assistance.

The police confrontation was captured on a video that has been viewed more than 8 million times on social media, fueling a backlash and drawing responses from the city’s police commissioner and mayor.

This is about racism and racial profiling.

Join our Host Ms. Tracy L. Bell at 6:30 p.m. EST on “Conversations Of A Sistah“ as she discusses boycotting the chain and will closing all stores on May 29 for bias training be enough to fan the flames of a racially charged manager.

‘The Lynchings Of African Americans in this Country’ Tonight, on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

The Equal Justice Initiative will open the nation’s first memorial dedicated to lynching victims in Montgomery, Alabama on April 26. The new museum is also dedicated to slavery and explores slavery, lynchings, segregation and modern inequality issues that will have interactive content, which will confront visitors with a history of some of this nation’s horrendous past.

It’s a painful topic but a part of our history rarely discussed.

The body of Rubin Stacy hanging from a tree in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, July 19, 1935. He was lynched by a mob for allegedly attacking a white woman.

Between 1877 and 1950 Public torture and the murder of African Americans was common in the south. This story begins on February 1, 1893, in the town of Paris, Texas, but it could just as easily have begun on 4,000 other dates and in dozens of other American localities. During the American Civil War, Paris had a population of fewer than 1,000 people. About a third of them were black slaves, who were eventually freed in the wake of the Union victory and the abolition of slavery in 1865. But despite passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which formally outlawed slavery, the postwar decades were widespread with systematic, vicious violence against black communities in the South.

It’s a painful story of America’s history of racial injustice. However, in order to heal the deep pain of our present we must address the truth of our past.

The “March For Our Lives” Will it Change Anything?” Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Marla Eveillard, 14, cries as she hugs friends before the start of a vigil at the Parkland Baptist Church, for the victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, which happened yesterday, in Parkland, Fla., Thursday, Feb. 15, 2018. Nikolas Cruz, who had been expelled form the school, opened fire there.

The shooting that took place at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida wasn’t it’s first in history and will not be the last. As long as the purchase of firearms are so freely obtained in this country, history is deemed to keep repeating itself. But is it the firearm that is so freely obtained the issue? Or the action which drives the person using the firearm? Which of these scenarios is the issue of discussion this country should be addressing?

School shootings, church shootings or public shootings seems to be the norm nowadays with personal gripes linked to mental illness being spilled into society.

There are civil demonstrations expressing outrage and pleas to lawmakers that fall on deaf ears? So how do we expect change? How does the strategy to change laws become the conversation for action?

Join Host Tracy L. Bell at 6:30 p.m. EST tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via Blog Talk Radio for the discussion The “March For Our Lives” Will it Change Anything?”
