Economic Woes Hit All Americans! This Woman Looks Like She Is Feeling Serious Pain!

This picture captures the general mood & emotion of most Americans. If I didn't know better, I would think this was me. I have been hit hard with a job transfer which I have to decline. My gas expense would be about $15 per day because it's 62 miles round trip. Because of that, I will have to let this job go. We all know that the job market is crowded so I'm sure finding another job will be difficult. When I saw this photo, I had to post it here. Kudos to the photographer that illustrated the financial despair that most of us feel!

The issue of the day is the economy. Depending on how bad it gets, I may have to consider relocating to another country. That is why I blog about political matters so much. It is a meaningful subject to me because I know how much the country will change. The question is what will the change be? I am researching both candidates & I have made my choice clear. For those who do not like either choice, I hope you are exploring your options. Do not just skip voting. Find out why you do or do not like these people independently. Please do not let political pundits & commentators instruct you in your decision making. Most of them have not been hit hard by the economy like you & I.

Whether you like black people or not should not play a role here. Unfortunately, the republicans have made digs at Barack Obama (the community organizer)which may appeal to racists. Now, I am not saying that you are a racist if you do not vote for Barack Obama. Nor am I saying you are racist if you are white & won't vote for him. There are some black people who won't vote for him because he is black. Only you know if you were objective in your reasoning. Remember your vote will directly affect the future of this great country. Be fair & sensible. For more on the issue of racism towards blacks,check out the video bar on this page. Until my next post, have a great night!

This Woman Should Win An Emmy For This! Tina Fey as Sarah Palin!!!

I can't believe that my wildest comedic dreams have come to fruition. The issue of "sexism" that has been abused during this race is parodied on SNL. None other than Tina Fey is portraying Sarah Palin. Everybody has a twin & these two better check their geneaology records because damn! They could pass for identical twins & that accent is pegged down to the letter by Tina. I'm going to enjoy the rest of my Sunday by getting a little shopping done! I am a woman after all. OOPS! Am I being sexist by implying that women like shopping? No that's just as ridiculous as the claims made by John Mccain's campaign. And I'm off to contribute to my own decline into poverty. Maybe it'll help the economy. Let me go because as you can see, I am full of jokes today!

Republican Affiliates Peddle This!

News - Slideshow - Forum sells 'Obama Waffles' with racial stereotype I saw this over at Comcast news & just had to post it here. Racism is a huge issue for me as an african american. I am using my voice on this blog to speak out against all offences to humanity. Is this the reason why the republican convention was sparse in the amount of blacks that attended? In a party that totes the message of change now, how does this represent that? These are the kinds of people that support John Mccain. People who want to change from having a view of a unified & equal country be shared by all Americans. This type of stereotyping only hearkens back to the antebellum past of America. We want a party with a vision that holds a better future. Not one that is seeking to hold on to the distant past. My voice will be heard much louder than this. At this point, I have no readers. This blog is just my way of venting my frustrations as a black person in America. These are my opinions & views. If anyone is reading this, leave me a comment & let me know!Share the issues that affect you with me.

Isn't it sad though that racism is still an issue? All over the world, not just here in America? Those with darker skin suffer with this problem within their own race sometimes. There is inter-racial discrimination & exclusion in the black community. If you have light skin, it can make the difference in how you are treated. The same applies if you have dark skin. That is a fact of life that I have know since childhood. Within my own family, I have been told that at least my hair was wavy. As if to say that my hair was my saving grace. My skin is dark but the texture of my hair makes me attractive. Why do so many blacks feel this way? My theory & strong belief is that it comes from the days of slavery. A time that most blacks have tried to forget by disassociating themselves from Africa. By rejecting the culture & country, they are rejecting the pain of the past. Those horrific times are imprinted in our genetic memory. The atrocities of that time has lingered from generation to generation.

These types of images evoke Jim Crow & segregation. That was in the not so distant past. Apparently, it is still the desire of some in the white community for that still to be the case. Even if John Mccain does not have a racist bone in his body, how will he be able to reform that aspect of his party? He tried to speak out against the Confederate flag & was forced to reverse his stance on that. Yes, that flag is the symbol of slavery. The Black Holocaust. His party is made up of many Daughters & Sons of the Confederation. Hence, we have these racial stereotypes persistently coming from some republicans. I have not heard John Mccain denounce the organizations that perpetuate racism. He should but he is a republican after all. No matter how much he trys to distance himself.
