Black Woman,
I apologize for all the times you came with an issue and instead of listening, I combatted it with an issue of my own.

Black Woman,
I apologize for excusing or dismissing your feelings.

Black Woman,
I apologize for every time I justified in my head my own verbal abuse of Black women in the past.

Black Woman,
I apologize for every time you told me what bothered you and I argued semantics instead of the real issue at hand.

Black Woman,
I apologize for every time I stood idle while witnessing someone else mistreat you.

Black Woman,
I apologize for the influence I had over other brothers to perform the same ignorant acts I once performed that outlived my own ignorance.

I’m sorry.

If you don’t forgive me, I understand.

Black Woman,
I promise to try my best to love you better now and in the future.

The Countdown

I am afraid of a fetus lol…s/he scares the crap out of me!!!

I LOVE my fetus!!!…but I’m still scared of her/him.

S/he represents the unknown. There’s an awesome (I have a whole new respect for this word) feeling in my soul when I think about her/him…but I’m still scared of her/him.

Three months down, six to go. Maybe my fear isn’t of her/him, but for her him…yeah, that makes more sense.


Reality is a cruel evil being

I’ve been forced (internally, externally they’ve tried to make me for a while) to accept that there are some things that I’ll never be able to do again.

An adjustment is required and I really don’t want to!


This has nothing to do with race…right?

Don’t worry, of course this has nothing to do with race either…*blank stare*


I miss my best friend

No corrections, just feelings. My twin and I can never be friends again and it sucks.

THIS IS ONLY HALFTIME: Racial Superbowl (part one)

For all of those who think that this is a “post racial era” because we have elected our first African American president…I’m here to shut that down.

As much as I’d like to let you go about your life rejoicing in that major milestone being passed, I can’t let you think that the race is finally over.

THIS IS ONLY HALFTIME:

It’s evident by the cheers & jeers from the crowd that there are just as many fans for the away team as the home team has; they didn’t have much to cheer for in the beginning. We have a gone from an All-Madden team vs your local high school J.V. squad all the way to a real sporting event!

Don’t get me wrong, the refs seem to be giving a LOT of calls to the home team still…but the away team is still in the fight. It’s surprising considering how many of their players seem to have given up. Both the offensive & defensive lines are constantly caving in, the veterans aren’t showing the leadership they once did and these rookies…don’t even get me started! Even the coaching staff and ownership leave something to be desired.

Meanwhile on the other end of the field…

TO BE CONTINUED…
