DEFINITON OF THE DAY....NIGGER
Nigger is a noun in the English language. The word originated as a neutral term referring to black people, as a variation of the Spanish/Portuguese noun negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger ("color black"). Often used slightingly, by the mid 20th century, particularly in the United States, it suggested that its target is extremely unsophisticated. Its usage had become unambiguously pejorative, a common ethnic slur usually directed at blacks of Sub-Saharan African descent.

THOUGHTS ON DOCUMENTARY...LIGHT SKINNED AND DARK SKINNED WOMEN USE THEIR COMPLEXION AS A CRUTCH
Watching that documentary, I couldn’t help to think that Director Bill Duke tried to sway the conversation, and make it more impactful, by having unattractive dark skinned women speaking about their struggles. There was one dark skinned women on the documentary that said she was called a “mud duck” by her friends father, as he warned him to stay away from dark women, and to me that father was both blind and an assh*le! Yet others were talking about their plight, and in my mind I thought “I don’t think skin tone has anything to do with why you couldn’t get any play”.
If you’re a woman who looks like Dwyane Wade, it doesn’t matter what skin tone you are, you won’t be attractive to me. Don’t use your skin tone as an excuse. Men who exalt sub-par light skinned women are no different. Just because a woman has fair skin doesn’t make her a dime! As men in general, we are somewhat conditioned to think that “light is right”. I’ve had to catch myself from automatically assuming a lighter woman was attractive to me, and I scrutinize now more than ever to avoid those conditioned assumptions. Just know that the jig has been above sea level for both the light skinned and dark skinned women complexion swindles for years!

HOT OF THE PRESSES....PAULA DEEN, QUEEN OF SOUTHERN FOOD IS A RACIST....
Celebrated Chef Paula Deen has admitted using racial slurs and racist jokes in a deposition videotaped May 17.
The 66-year-old TV star is involved in a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by the former general manager of her popular Savannah, GA restaurant. Lisa Jackson claimed sexual harassment and infliction of emotional distress by Deen’s brother Bubba Hiers.
When asked if she ever uttered the N-word, Deen, who hails from Albany, GA, said “Yes, of course,” and went on to give examples, according to UK’s Daily Mail. Deen also admitted saying she wanted to create a plantation-themed wedding with black wait staff dressed as slaves. She said she got the idea for the slave theme while visiting a restaurant with her husband.
“The whole entire waiter staff was middle-aged black men, and they had on beautiful white jackets with a black bow tie,” she said.
Deen added: “I mean, it was really impressive. That restaurant represented a certain era in America… after the Civil War, during the Civil War, before the Civil War. It was not only black men, it was black women. I would say they were slaves.”
How comforting the memories must’ve been for her. Here in the deep south, women like Deen cling to their racism fantasies.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY.....
A Daddy isn't defined as the man who makes the child, but rather a man who extends his hands and time to help with the child's raising and his heart to love the child through anything. Blood doesn't always make you a Daddy. Being a Daddy comes from the heart.. anyone can make a baby, it takes a man to raise a child.
Happy father's day to all the father's who put in the time to be call "Dad".

But what would you be without me?
Where would you be without me?
