A letter to the people

Okay, I know we all have differing opinions on the war. Some feel justified and some feel like we need to come from Iraq. This letter is not about that at all. This is about the way we treat the people who are left her when their spouse, sister, brother, mom, dad etc are here trying to keep life going. They need our help. One of my friends on a bulletin Board that I frequent told about how the people in her neighborhood are basically so damn self-centered. They don’t even realize that she is doing the job of 2 parents by herself. Now I realize that some people will have the arguement “well single parents do it” but the reality is that even the single parent has a parent or friend or something that will allow them the opportunity to do necessary things to maintain their sanity during something that is so unknown and scary. So I believe that it is all of our responsiblity to help out when we can. Contrary to popular beliefs we have a responsibility to each other. So know your neighbors and if you have a spouse of a deployed military person, offer to help them. Something as small as a meal, or offering to babysit for an hour or so can go far to helping remain level headed during a time of stress.
I am not funny

I have come to a conclusion. I am not funny. I read other blogs, I see the blatent jokes and I realize, I am not funny. I thought I would cry about it but then I realized…..Who Cares! Comedy isn’t for everyone and honestly when they were handing out the comedy gene, I was passed over.
Yes We Can (a small thought)

After reading an article today and seeing the comments I was appalled by the way that people react whenever someone says that Obama is an inspiration to Blacks. I hear all the arguments that racism doesn’t exist. Then I hear the “this is reverse racism. Whites don’t hold back Blacks. You get what you give in life” Now while I do agree that if you work hard, you can achieve success regardless of what other people do, we must remember that racism isn’t dead. It hasn’t gone away. I mean lets be real, it wasn’t that long ago that people were hanging Blacks from trees with ropes. It wasn’t even 50 years ago. Truth be told that is still in our generations. So to say that in less than 50 years we have gotten rid of hundreds of years worth of hatred, disdain and mistreatment is to be delusional. I for one, choose not to live in that delusional world. The main people talking about how Racism doesn’t exist are the same people who have no meaningful interaction with black people. Talking to someone without allowing them the freedom to say the things that they truly think, doesn’t give the honest result that you are looking for. So on that note I will stop cause I don’t feel like going in to the whole race diatribe further. I have realized that most people can understand it, they just don’t WANT to.
