Ladies, Don't Ignore The Warning Signs!

Remember this guy?

This is Terry McMillan and her ex husband, Jonathan Plummer.

Yep......exactly!

This is also Terry McMillan and her ex husband, Jonathan Plummer:


Yyyyeahhhhhh..........sure you didn't know he was gay Terry.

I bring this up because early this morning, I got a phone call from a friend who was crying her eyes out.
Why?
Because last night, her boyfriend of seven months pulled a Jonathan Plummer.
He told her he was gay and was tired of hiding it.
Her exact comment to me was:
"I don't understand why so many men are suddenly turning gay."
Then she she dropped the, There aren't any good black men left bomb on me.
When she asked me what I thought, my answer stunned her and if she's reading this (which I'm sure she is)
she should pick up the phone and call to tell me I was right.
I told her, the problem isn't the men.
The problem is, some women (including herself) are so desperate to have a man in their lives, that they ignore all of the warning signs.
Just like anyone with two eyes could see that Terry McMillian's ex husband was gay.
Anyone with two eyes could also see that her boyfriend was gay.
Her sister........
Her brother.......
Her dad.......yes,
HER DAD........told her he was gay.
But what did she do?
She told them, "He's not gay, he just has 'feminine ways' because he was raised by a bunch of women."
#thedevilISalie
I was raised by a bunch of women and I'm straighter than a line on the street!
That has nothing to do with ANYTHING!
The main reason she didn't see the warning signs is because one of her 2011 New Year's Resolutions was to "find a husband" (let that marinate).
*not to preach*
But......that's where so many women go wrong.
They try to "find a husband" instead of letting their husband "find them".
That's biblical, and even if you don't believe in the bible, it's also common sense!
Ladies, please stop ignoring all the warning signs!
If his eyebrows are arched........
If he spends more time in the mirror than you do........
If his hair looks better than yours.......
If he can do your hair better than you can..........
Chances are........
HE'S GAY!
And to all of the men who are gay, but still sleeping with women,
YOU ARE A COWARD!
And will be exposed!
Be who you are and stop messing up other people's lives!

Another Civil Rights Icon, Colonel Stone Johnson Has Passed

A few months ago we lost Rev.Fred Shuttlesworth.
Last week, we lost his right hand man, Colonel Stone Johnson.
Rev. Shuttlesworth was the pastor of Bethel Baptist Church here in Birmingham, in a community called Collegeville.
In the mid 50s, (before Dr. King joined The Movement), blacks used to gather at Bethel Baptist to organize and plot strategies to fight segregation.
Once the Klan found out about it, they started bombing Rev. Shuttlesworth's home.
When that didn't intimidate or stop Rev. Shuttlesworth, they started bombing Bethel (the church).

In 1956, the klan, who based their racial hatred on Christian beliefs, bombed Bethel Baptist....... on CHRISTMAS EVE!
*detour*
The next time a Republican (or anyone else) try to tell you that Islam is a religion that advocates terrorism, please let them know that the greatest terrorists to ever walk the face of the earth were Christians, the KKK.
And before you start sending me hate mail, I'm a Christian too.....but the truth is the truth.
*back to the blog*
After that incident, the rest, as they say.....is history.
See for yourself:

I had the honor and privilege of having a few conversations with the Colonel and I can tell you, he was the sharpest and most alert ninety something year old man you'll ever meet.
And he still looked like someone you didn't want to mess with.
I remember one day, I saw him at Mr. Percy Hornbuckle's (another Civil Rights Icon) barbershop and some young guy was leaning on the Colonel's Lincoln Towncar.
Let's just say, the Colonel said something to the young man and the young man stopped leaning on his Towncar! lol
The Colonel, just like the man he served as a bodyguard to, has left the city of Birmingham with a spirit and boldness that I pray I'm able to carry on and pass down to my son's generation.

R.I.P. Colonel Johnson!

Are We REALLY Honoring Dr. King's Legacy?

Turn on the television........
Read the news..........
It's all around us-the disrespect of Dr. King's legacy.
And NO I'm not talking about the fact that the GOP chose to have their debate in SOUTH CAROLINA on his birthday.
And I'm not talking about the fact that those same GOP presidential candidates sat quietly while Newt Gingrich made some of the most disrespectful and vile comments about black people that I've ever heard.
*memo to the GOP*
(Sometimes I would prefer to just be called a Nigger instead)
No, I'm not talking about the disrespect that comes from the outside.
I'm talking about the disrespect from within.
See for yourself:


Our community is in the shape it's in right now, because of this mentality.
Some of you may say this is an isolated incident, but it's not.
I've seen several promotions (locally) over the last few years of people promoting parties to "honor" Dr.King.
And you know what?
People attended those parties and didn't think twice about it.
As a whole, I believe we really have no respect or honor for the man and what he stood for.
Sure, we all celebrate and go through the motions by singing
"We Shall Overcome" and making our children learn and recite the "I Have A Dream" speech.
But do we really respect Dr. King's legacy?
Are we really living up to it as a people?

Just something to think about................

Happy 48th Birthday Mrs.Obama

In a day and time of high priced media prostitutes reality stars, it's refreshing to know that we can look to the Oval office and see how a Real black woman is suppose to carry herself.

I've said it before and I'll say it again-if we didn't have a Michelle Obama, we wouldn't have a President Barack Obama.

How many women do you know will stay with a man who is so broke, that he has to move his family in with HER parents?

How many women do you know will stay with a man when she's making close to 200k/year and he's barely making 50k/yr?

How many women do you know will keep herself looking THIS good for her husband after 20 years of marriage?

Go ahead...........I'll wait...........
DING! *times up*
That's what I thought-not many!

So here's wishing one of the most amazing women that God has ever created a Happy 48th Birthday!

Hmmm........I wonder if she can clone herself?
*just a thought*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Top Athlete's Mom Embarassing Act

As some of you may know, I'm one of the biggest, most obnoxious Alabama football fans around. But if my son decided he wanted to play ball at Auburn (Bama's most hated rival), I would IMMEDIATELY become one of the biggest and most obnoxious Auburn fans around.
Why?
Because the love and support of my son, far outweighs the love I have for Alabama football.
With that being said, I want you to check out this video and tell me what you think.
Let me set it up for you.
The young man in the video is Landon Collins, the top high school safety in the country.
He's about to announce where he will play his college ball.
His top two choices are Alabama and LSU.
The young lady sitting next to him is his mother, who let's just say, wasn't too happy about his decision.
Check it out:


I don't know about you, but I thought the way she behaved was immature and irresponsible.
It wasn't bad enough that she was chewing and popping gum on national tv, but to publicly embarass her son like that was truly uncalled for.
If she disagreed with his decision, don't you think she should have waited and discussed the matter in private?
This young man already had the weight of the world on him and for her to carry on like a 12 year old, "popping gum, shaking her head, waving the other team's gloves, is not only embarassing, but downright disrespectful.

As an Alabama fan, I would love to see this young man wearing Crimson. But as someone who has coached youth sports in the past, I would prefer him to go to LSU. Because it's obvious he won't have support from the one person he needs it the most-his MAMA!
And if the parent of an athlete isn't happy, nobody will be happy-especially the athlete.
What an embarassing act by this top athlete's mom!

Kappas and Omegas Unite To Form Super PAC

What's up Board of Directors!
Everybody good?
Cool!

One of my main objectives with this blog movement is to provide you with information that's relevant to our community.
The type of information you won't read about in your local or national newspaper.
The type of information you won't see on your local or national news channels.
That's one of my objectives, and this is one of those stories.
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. and Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc, has united to form a super PAC to support the re-election of President Barack Obama.
A super PAC (Political Action Committee), is responsible for most of the grassroots efforts of a campaign.
Whether it's registering people to vote or paying for commercial spots in key battleground states, super PACS play a vital role in a candidate's campaign.
And with the amped up, over the top, radical, right wing racist rhetoric that's being aimed at him, the President really needs the support of his base, his people and his family, NOW- more than ever.
With this PAC, volunteers will be able to mobilize and energize a block of voters who, quite honestly, may have forgetten what it takes to win an election.

Please go to 1911 United <---click on the link) and make a contribution or sign up to volunteer.
Any help you can give will play a crucial part in re-electing President Obama.

Also, please join me in helping to spread the word about this good deed being done by these two proud and wonderful fraternities.

The Iowa Caucus Is Tonight

The first true test of the modern day KKK  republican party is upon us.

It's the day of the Iowa Caucus.

Today in that crazy great state of Iowa, one of these "great Americans" will emerge as the front runner to take on President Barack Obama later this year.

In any normal election year, John Huntsman (not pictured) would be the perfect candidate. He's what conservatives used to call a "Ronald Reagan Conservative."

But this isn't a normal year and this isn't a normal election.

This election is about one thing and one thing only:
The Intense Hatred of Barack Obama!
How else could you explain how an extreme racist (Ron Paul), a habitual liar and "moderate" racist (Newt Gingrinch) and a flip flopping, spineless, goofball (Mitt Romney) are the front runners?

As you watch this play out on television tonight, ask yourself, which one of these bafoons  candidates would you want to be your President.

Then ask yourself, can you afford not to get involved in the political process this year.

Regardless if you agree or disagree with all of the President's policies, you have to know that either one of these people are ten times worst than President Obama could be on his worse day.

It's time to get involved!
It's time to get active!
It's time to get fired and ready to go (again)!

Get Healthy In 2012

Well, it's that time of year again; the time of year when everyone makes their New Year's resolutions.
One of the most popular resolutions that people make involves getting in shape.
Every year, people say the same thing.
And every year, they do the same thing-procrastinate or quit!
Oh, they'll go to the gym the first couple of weeks, but then the excuses start coming.

"I don't have the time."
"I work too many hours."
"It's too crowded in the gym."

Come on people!
It's time out for the excuses!
Last year we lost some of our most beloved celebrities due to health related issues.
That should be a wake up call that it's time to get it together!
Many people will try to get it together by using certain gimmicks like weight watchers, Jenny Craig, the (whatever you call that thing you put around your waist to burn off the fat), and all of that other stuff.
Yes, in my opinion, those are gimmicks! Because while you will lose the weight, you're not getting healthier.
You're not doing any cardio which puts you at risk for high blood pressure, stroke or even a heart attack.

I challenge you to leave all of those gimmicks in 2011 and get with the new program.
OPERATION: #healthyisthenewsexy
If you can't make it to a gym or don't have enough time,invest in a PX-90 or Insanity workout dvd.
(Insanity is a BEAST!)
You can do those things in the comfort of your own home at your own pace.
If you need someone to motivate you, find a partner and start running (not walking-RUNNING).
Take up a hobby like kickboxing or biking.
Try Zumba! Everybody and they mama's mama is trying Zumba! (broken english)
I don't care what you do, but please do something!

Losing weight isn't just about looking good and feeling good.
It's about being healthy and having a healthier lifestyle!

I wish you well on your journey and would love to hear some of your testimonies throughout the year.
