Not a Bobblehead
Society had become so sensitive from when I grew up that Christmas songs are no longer fun anymore. Social media has made it easier for people to beef about stupid things. The stupidity leak is real, and I can’t deal. If there is one thing that culture class has taught me is that we all can learn something from someone else. Some people think that they know everything and don’t need to learn anything else. In life, we must understand that people will not always agree with us or think like us. The only people who we can control are ourselves no one else. We have to learn how to agree to disagree. Heck. Our enemies can have things to offer at times because they may tell us something that a friend or family member may be too afraid to say.
I don’t want to align myself with a bunch of yes men/women. I want people who will tell me when I’m wrong. Shoot! Help me don’t hurt me by holding back information that I need to hear. I’m not a person that’s hard to communicate with. If I ask a person for their opinion, I’m open to the response. I don’t want to control a person’s opinion. I’ll only hurt myself in the long run.
I’m not an airhead. I’m not a bobblehead. I think the way that I choose. I use to feel not so brave about sharing the way that I thought, but now I embrace my thought process. I’m secure about who I am, which is why I don’t take it personally if a person doesn’t agree with me. There are Republicans and Democrats who see politics differently. There are the prosecution and the defense which look at the same case in different ways. Not being able to look at situations from a different perspective can make a person closed-minded.
Rick is the Walking Dead
Here’s my daily rant! Rick Grimes is the Walking Dead! I am a huge Walking Dead fan I have coffee mugs, tons of t-shirts, and a Daryl Dixon’s crossbow lamp.
I get so tired of people questioning fans’ loyalty. I love the show. I just don’t like how it’s looking so different from the show that I first felling in love with.
The opening of the Walking Dead starts with Rick. Fans have been looking at things through Rick’s eyes.
It saddens me about Andrew Lincoln’s departure. For months there have been lots of speculation pertaining to Andrew leaving. He confirmed about the departure news during the San Diego Comic Con. I understand that he is British and that he wants to be with his family. I appreciate all of the sacrifice that he has made for the fans over the years. Not many people would spend as much time away from their families as Andrew Lincoln has.
I will watch the Walking Dead to the very end because I am a true fan. However, understand this Rick is the Walking Dead anyone else who attempts to fill his boots is nothing more than a bottle episode aka filler. Having someone to fill in for Rick is like Willow and Xander attempting to fill in for Buffy, it won’t work. Let the ratings show the truth because they will.
Okay Rant Over! Thank you Andrew Lincoln for everything! We love you! We will miss you!
We Are Beautiful
Recently everywhere I turn
I see men of different races
Including my very own
Making it seem like
Black women are the least desirable
Men like Chris Rock and
Steve Harvey speaking about
The kinds of men who love us
I can’t take it anymore
Our black is beautiful
Every day many of us struggle
With situations that
We should not have to endure alone
We are mothers
Who are also filling in as
The role of father
This situation has gotten old
The worse part is when we
Are made to feel like
We are somehow responsible
For receiving the hurt
That we don’t deserve
It’s so absurd
One of the stupidest things
That I have ever heard
There’s a 72% percentage
Of absentee fathers
Look at the numbers
These men choose
To not be bothered
It doesn’t take a math whiz
Or a rocket scientist
Last time I checked
It takes a man and a woman
To make a baby
Is there any other ways
I’ll wait
Lord knows that I am a Christian
I always turn the other cheek constantly
Most black women are forgiving
About the situations that helps
Many of us to feel incomplete
Dealing with things like certain men
Who are filled with deceit that cheat
Lacking the understanding as to
Why some men would rather mistreat
Good women in a heartbeat
As if it would kill them to
Commit faithfully
In spite of black women circumstances
Defeat is not a part of our vocabulary
We always push ourselves hard
Like a star athlete
There’s a lot more to us
Than what people think
I’m telling you right now
On us don’t sleep
We are constantly striving and evolving
Every word that I speak
Is concrete
I can produce receipts
Say what you want about me
Turn up the heat
I will not surrender or retreat
Can’t continue to listen
To all of the bull
Like how some of the wounds
Of black women
Are self-inflicted
I just don’t understand it
I do know that black women
Are over being taken for granted
As well as being blamed for this
Got me like
Alanis Morrissette
Isn’t it ironic
Don’t you think
Some black men
Speak of wanting black women
To hold them down
When they have nothing
Yet when some of them get on
Their feet
They treat their women and
Very own children
Like pot holes in a street
Then have the nerve
To question why we are angry
Really?
Please
Spare me
After awhile all of this becomes
So annoying
Some of you have no concept
Of loyalty
As long as black women
Are going along with the program
Everything is hunky-dory
However once we wake up
And stand up things are
A different story
Oh and don’t get me
Talking about the subject of dating
Black men was the first to
Put cream in their coffee
This is after slavery
At least that’s what mother
Used to tell me
May her beautiful soul
Rest in peace
If black women
Date outside of their race
Immediately we are accused
Of self-hate
In addition making it seem
As if men of other races
See us as mere fetishes
Like we are nothing
More than sex objects
I’m so sick of the disrespect
When will you guys open your eyes
And realize that
When our community is hurting
No one benefits
And no wins
Because we all suffer in the end
Things comes back in a full spin
I won’t stop talking about this
It’s a promise
Like Mc Hammer
I’m too legit to quit
Refusing to conform
To what seems to be the norm
Because it’s awful
Black women we deserve love
Beyond measure
We are a treasure
Keep in mind that love has no color
This mindset opens up our options more
Always remember this number
One thing and that is our value
Is not found in negative
People’s words
Black women are powerful
Even when we stand alone
We are so strong
Black women we are beautiful
Words Words Words
A few weeks ago I was super duper siked stoked would have been the appropriate words. So I have done my research on blogging and it is recommended to write a post that consists of 600 to 1500 words. I wrote my first blog with over 600 words like three to four weeks ago. It’s said the more words the more in depth one can get with the post. To me some subjects doesn’t require many words to describe it although I do want my readers to have a good feel when they read my post. The goal is to encourage and inspire as many people as possible. Looking forward to writing more posts of various lengths. Have a bless day!
