Rainbow brite

Rainbow brite

Light, bright, damn near white,
high yella heifer, dirty redbone,
honey-toasted, pecan-colored,
cat eyes, ugly eyes, what color is yo' eyes?
green eyes, grey eyes, hazel eyes
she think she cute, you ain't that fine,
skin like a yellow tulip, thin two lips,
hair pulled, pushed down on the playground,
soft hair, can't get an afro, silky like grandmoms,
freckles, freckles? freckles, huh freckles,
soft smile, teeth straight, polished pearls,
'you are so beautiful, not like the rest,'
fierce proud, strong, no traitor, flee from me satan,
rainbow brite on the outside,
no one blacker than you on the inside, no one

(For all my light-skinned sisters who suffered because of ignorance and envy, who are the blackest of black women and should be told that. We come in every color of the rainbow.)

Farrakhan on women ... incredible

I came out to the Nation of Islam mosque in Chicago last Sunday and got to hear Min. Louis Farrakhan, or as the Muslims' say, "the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan" (and I'm with that, he's the strongest leader we got and been on the same program and path for 50 years dealing with Black folks and under attacks from White folks, honorable, indeed and in truth!), and he talked about women and it was beautiful Muslim women and girls EVERYWHERE! I mean the men had to sit outside and listen and watch on a big screen on the scene outside the mosque (that was pretty cool) and sit in the gym in the Muslim school (yes they got their own school too). When I beautiful, I mean beautiful enough to restore a man's faith in love and good women, with a beauty beyond their physical looks (which were beautiful). I mean these sisters looked, acted and sounded like true Mothers of Civilization as the Minister said they are. But then he started teaching that this is the nature of Black women and women. Deep.

Women don't see themselves as divine but men and women are from the same divine essence, the Minister said. (Isn't is something how when somebody says, "The Minister ..." that you know they are talking about Farrakhan, it's automatic ... Nobody else is "The Minister," there may be other ministers but The Minister is the definite article--just a little English lesson. I.E., look up meaning for "the" at dictionary.com.)

Then he talks about the White man wanted and wants women ignorant to keep the world in the state it is in and how the styles for women are created by freaks. Now did you ever think that the "top" designers are men who are not into women, but into men? so that being the case, how do they see women and can they see women properly if they aren't into a natural relationship with a woman, so what do they see when they look at her? Just askin' a question.

Then he talks about how men and women have been de-natured so they can't produce what they should be able to produce. Min. Farrakhan said, "My dear sisters: We are the children of slaves. The slave master had a purpose for us that was not the Aim of God. ... When you look at yourself on the screen today in Hollywood, and other places, how does Hollywood portray not only Black women but White women as well? According to what I have read from one Jewish author who described in his book about how "Jews invented Hollywood," and they keep the Black women looking like a "tart." Do you know what a "tart" is? It's something sweet and nice; delicious, delectable, delightful, as in an "after-dinner tart."

A tart? A thing to be devoured to satisfy an appetite? And not even a meal,a little something extra? I sure as hell don't want my daughter to be no damn tart! 

And I got to be honest sisters, if you show it, the average man will look and if you offer or give it the average man will take it too. That's just the truth and that's why men put women in different categories, like "wifey material," in other words someone of worth and a future and some status and some respect. What do you want to be? And men what do you want our women or your wife, sister, daughter, cousin, mother to be thought of? Read more at www.finalcall.com, the Nation newspaper.

Ebony love: Darker than a thousand midnights

 

Ebony love,
yea you,
nappy-headed lil girl, with the big eyes and ashy elbows,
darker than the deepest chocolate and twice as sweet,
yea  you,
ebony love,
with the blond streaks and the blue contacts covering your beautiful jet blackeyes,
hiding your beauty behind a false impression and impersonation of who you are,
why you think she always in the sun and go to jamaica and get her hair corn-rowed?
why you think he crossed oceans and seas to kidnap you?
you didn't know? still don't know?
you are the prize,

Dedicated to all the dark-skinned little girls who need to be told they are beautiful women. Ya dig?

Cha-ching,daddy is an automated cash machine

When I came across this graphic I had to have it because it is really true. My role in my children's lives seems to have been reduced to this one single fact: how much money do you have and what are you going to buy? It started with a crazy azz order from a judge and empowered by his crazy azz decision, the witch feels like she controls everything. She is getting half of my money --- yes half and wants more. Can't happen? Huh, it can if you go to court expecting a fair hearing and not having a lawyer. They aren't called mouthpieces for nothing. They speak the language of the court and the legal system and not having one can be like going to Yemen and trying to speak English to be people who speak Arabic and a tribal dialect! You won't get too far on the communication side, actually you might get further than you would in a Court Room because those people are likely to have morals and scruples and are likely to try to give you a fair shake. Much different in court. Justice? You can get all the justice you can afford. Period.

So with the judge's decision and my ex, it's all about the money. Never mind that I have never not supported my children fully and I don't mean a damn cream sickle on a summer day or a once a year donation to baby momma. I mean fully from before they were born to dealing with the witch today.

She gets her money on the regular but her new tactic,  when I don't accede to her demands for more money is to now tell my children, "Ask your dad about that" or "Tell your ad to pay that." So children being children, they obey and ask, feeling stressed about asking and stressed about whether dad can come through. Well mom can come through, especially with the couple grand a month she gettin' FROM dad but she doesn't explain that to the kids. And I am trying not to put the financial thing in their minds but I let them know, $1 from every $2 daddy gets goes to you. I don't want them to think that since I am out of the house that I have forgotten about them. Not to mention that I get them one day each week and every other weekend and spend money those times too. Spending the money is not the problem, it is that the percentage is so wayyyyy out of wack with reality and, in truth, limits what I can do when I actually have my children.

In other words, the money that goes to the witch keeps me from having money to do much with the babies when I have them. So in other words, if the child support wasn't so out of wack I could do more with the kids and give them more directly from me --- that's important --- especially since the witch and her relatives bad mouth me to the babies.
It's a real mother for ya. I am a dad, a real dad, not perfect, but loving, supportive, bill payin', make breakfast, take to school, take to the doctor, rubbed their momma's stank-swollen-feet-when-she-was-pregnant-dad. Ok. Her feet didn't stink but they are ugly. Anyway. My point is I love and have taken care of my children but now that someone has my gonads in a financial vise grip, the only thing seems to matter is money and she is taking my money. The result? I can't win. No matter what I do. I see why some men say, "Ok, take the money, the children and leave me the phuck alone." I see why. I never thought I would see why, watching my mother and other women struggle with children alone, I always identified with the pain and struggle of women. Funny, the witch, who has everything, actually tries to act like she is a suffering, single mother. Get the phuck outta here, she got someone who is paid to clean the damn house. WTF?

But it's all about the money. Sad.You will never get men to be better fathers if you don't treat them fairly, and stop this kind of madness. It only alienates men from children. I know somebody who had a baby by someone and they never married, never went to court. He helped make sure she completed her education and she decided that her child would have a better life if they both had good lives. So they worked it out themselves with both sides contributing and the child living between two homes with good parents. That makes sense and is good for the child.

All be damned

They say be careful what you say cuz it might bite you. After all my nice words yesterday about dealing with the ex, I almost lot it today, almost. But I didn't. It was luck or something, God, or some force that just kept me from going off. It doesn't make sense to be divorced from someone but still be embroiled in so much conflict.

Insanity. But I saw the princess again today and that was good. I should have reflected on my own words. Smile. I am still trying to figure out how cats can get away with doing nothing for the kids and have no worries, no troubles, but I have ALWAYS done for mine and can't catch a break or make a break. All I got to say is, if you are in a divorce proceeding get a good lawyer and tell the lawyer what you want.

 

Also if you want to be decent, don't expect the other side to be decent. Protect your interests, think long-term and be aware. You have been warned.

Why is the hell is UN in Haiti?

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jQDClbkVOSFQK4r0qAX8Z4aUP_Qg?docId=250c395ddc074bc38dde58cd84ffc46c http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2010/10/23/un-peacekeepers-complicit-in-sex-trade/

If you haven't heard, there has been an explosion of outrage and protests with charges that UN peacekeepers from Uruguay sexually abused an 18-year-old man in Haiti. At least part of the encounter was caught on cell phone video and has spread like wildfire. If this was the first violation of the brothers and sisters in Haiti that would be bad enough, but it is not. Thousands of Haitians have died as a result of cholera, a waterborne disease, which is believed to have originated with peacekeepers from Nepal and a lack of sanitation from their base  that passed the cholera into a local river. Some tests done on the strain of cholera have almost conclusively proved it came from the peacekeepers.

There have been so many deadly clashes between Haitians and the  supposed to be protectors that even using the name peacekeepers is a dubious designation. Many Haitians call the UN troops an occupying force. They came in following the removal of democratically-elected President Jean Bertrand Aristide, who was ousted in February 2004, and lived in exile in South Africa. He accused the US of orchestrating the coup d'état against him and finally returned to Haiti on March 18 after seven years in exile.

The United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) was established on June 1, 2004 by Security Council resolution 1542. So in additional to opening door to bombing the hell out of Libya, we have UN peacekeepers raping boys in Haiti!? Yeah. UN is the front group for US and her cronies robbin' and killin' folks, just think about Iraq.

Haiti also isn't the first place peacekeepers have been accused of or guilty of abusing people that should find security under their charge. Sex trafficking and other abuses were found in Bosnia and sex abuses have happened in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a ton of other places. Some say one problem is the home governments these troops are drawn from don't do anything for crimes committed and the UN has a history of pulling out troops accused of abuses and sending them home before investigations are finalized and any punishments handed out. This Save the Children report documented some of the abuses,
