Very very sneaky

By shay subscriber | November 14, 2008 | Comments Off on Very very sneaky

The past couple weeks have just been crazy for me, between being caught up in the election, I have been swamped with work at the same time I am preparing to start the new job. Needless to say I have been a little lax in one area of my life…..watching my weight. Now I made lifetime on Weight Watchers back …

Screw politically correct, lets get real

By shay subscriber | November 13, 2008 | 7 Comments

I remember when the whole political correctness thing came into vogue, at the time it seemed cool almost revolutionary. We would all be considerate of our fellow man/woman/human, however truth be told I am just a tad tired of being politically correct. I no longer know how to refer to someones love unit, some folks I know are hard core into using …

Your time is up…..

How come since Obama won the election and McCain gave that gracious concession speech, I have heard nothing about ole Mac but Sarah? That heffa who at first shunned the press is now out there for us all to see with her hillbilly ass (bitch, we know you ain’t giving back all them clothes including Todd’s new gear). Seriously, its annoying …

Uh oh…times is tough

By shay subscriber | November 10, 2008 | 7 Comments

Despite the fact that Obama won the election, the economy still sucks and probably will for a really long time. Today brought the news that Circuit City is filing for bankruptcy protection and that DHL is laying off thousands of folks. Last month the economy shed a crazy number of jobs, just in my local paper they were talking about …

Take the weekend and chill

I don’t know about you but I am drained, this week will rank up there with other important dates and times in my life. Its a good exhaustion though, I didn’t sleep for almost 48 hours because I was so ramped up about the election, however the dust is settling and its time to shift gears and relax. I start …

Haters gotta hate

By shay subscriber | November 6, 2008 | Comments Off on Haters gotta hate

To quote or perhaps paraphrase my boy Katt Williams “Haters gotta hate, that’s they motherfucking job.”  See today I was continuing to walk around in the afterglow of Obama’s win, yet I knew some punk ass bitch was going to say or do something that smacked me back to the fact that America is still a fucked up joint albeit …

He did it!!!!

Last night as the numbers started to trickle in, when Obama initially just had 3 electoral votes to McCain’s 8, for a brief moment, I thought shit, they will not let this man win. I got discouraged, yet as we all know now, things quickly changed, yet in the back of my mind, I kept thinking about 2000, we all know …

It’s showtime

By shay subscriber | November 4, 2008 | Comments Off on It’s showtime

To say I am anxious today, would be a great understatement. The magnitude of what this day means to me as a Black woman can’t even be put into words. I woke up at 3 am thinking that today is it, we will see what this country is all about. The polls say Obama will win, well I know polls …

Screw Mister Charlie..his thoughts don’t matter

By shay subscriber | November 3, 2008 | Comments Off on Screw Mister Charlie..his thoughts don’t matter

Once again, I am reminded of the diversity that exists within the Black community. In one of the online communities that I go to, where I can engage with holistically minded sistern, the issue was brought up of some of the new Black comedy shows. I should mention that I rarely see any tv shows in their entirety instead generally …

It’s already happening: Whites only

By Shay | November 13, 2025

The official end of Jim Crow in the United States happened between 1965 and 1968. Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and in 1965, they passed the Voting Rights Act, and then in 1968, the Fair Housing Act. These efforts effectively ended Jim Crow in the United States, though the lingering racial animosity …
