Foreclosure Crises!

I am a single homeowner and although I have fallen on hard times "extremely" I have been fortunate enough to still have my home. However, my heart goes out to those individuals who have been unfortunate enough to lose their homes. Sudden job loss, unplanned emergencies, medical illness, divorce, death and the list goes on are all things that can happen to make one face foreclosure.

The foreclosure crises will most likely only get worse before it gets better. If you "or someone you know" are facing foreclosure, call your lender to renegotiate the loan terms, or setup a payment plan. They should be willing to work with you. I am in the process of doing that right now and although I do not know the outcome, I am hoping and praying it will be a positive one.

This is my first home and I desperately want to keep it.

BENAZIR BHUTTO IS ASSASSINATED!!!!

This just in:

Benazir Bhutto, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan has been assassinated this morning. It is on all the major news programs.

Now you are problem wondering why do I care.

Well, I care because I just do. She was a woman in a male dominated part of the world. She was educated and aggressive. She was educated at Harvard University and went back to her Native Country because she wanted to make POSITIVE CHANGES. She wanted a democracy and she was killed by a suicide bomber who was against the progression of that country.

How sad. How so very sad.

Damn.... I need a Job!!!!!

Yes. I need a job. A damn good one.

I am educated. I've been to college. Yet I am having a hard time finding good employment. Why on earth is this? Memphis sucks.

No one wanted to pay me what I'm worth which is why I'm trying to start my own business. An internet business selling a service. Heck, I can do it. I'm a smart person.

I'm tired of working hard for folks. I'm ready to start working easy making some good money.

I have bills and there are also nice things I want to buy for myself like the big screen Plasma Screen, some really nice furniture for my home, a nicer car (heck my car is over 10 years old!) and I would like to take a vacation somewhere exotic. Like Africa.

Damn.... I have mold in my bathroom!!!!

Damn, I have mold in my bathroom. I just discovered it. There was this dark substance in my sink. I didn't think anything of it and I spraid it with disinfectant and removed it. (Honestly, since my cat spends the night in there I had thought it was dried cat poop).

Well, I just went in there again and lo and behold, it is back. And this time with a veangence It looks like a green, leafy substance and I again removed it and hopped on the internet where I soon discovered my worst fear. I have a mold problem.

I have only been in my home a little over a year and it is basically a fairly new home (as far as houses go). I mean, it was built in 1993.

Well, I read that you can fight it with bleach and water and that Home Depot and Lowes sell stronger mold removal chemicals. I will first see how the bleach and water works out. I also read to get some papertowels and dampen them with bleach and let it sit on the mold for around 30 minutes.

That is what I will do.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will work.

Ho Hum.....

Until I post again........

JACOBSON STAFFING RIP OFF REPORT!

My cousin was just offered a temporary position through Jacobson Staffing Company in Memphis, TN. The position pays only $9.00 an hour, yet my cousin has been advised that he will have to pay for both the drug test and the employee background check. However, they wanted him to start work immediately that day.

What a fucking ripoff!!!

I understand many temporary staffing companies do charge for the drug test, however, to charge him $20.00 for the drug test and another $25.00 for the employee background check is totally absurd. My cousin will have to work at least the first 5 hours for the company. FOR FREE. Can anybody say slavery??

This is exactly what I do not like about so many Memphis staffing companies. They take advantage of the slim job market and start creating ridiculous ways to get even more money from people who already don't make much. Jacobson Staffing should burn in hell for this transgression.

But sadly they are NOT alone in their misgivings.

Most people know this amount of charges is totally absurd, but when they need a job they agree to be used essentially.

What's going to become of America where more and more companies are taking advantage of those at the very bottom??

I say SHAME ON JACOBSON STAFFING COMPANY!!!

Goofy African Men and Why Women Love Them...

Well ladies,

I am sure we all have dated at least one goofy guy in our past. They are sweet, however, who really wants a man who trips over his own shoelases. Anyhow, I once dated this Ghanian man. He was 30 (Or so he said) and really sexy. His face wasn't all that however. The only thing about him I did not find very attractive was the fact that he was sooo goofy.

He was a thick dude. One that had a little bit of weight on him, you know the kind that women find sexy. He was ugly from a face point of view, but women really don't care about that now do they. We eventually broke up because he was so goofy.

I wanted to know if any other women had stories about their goofy relationships and if they would care to share.

To Women: Stop Sweet talking these Lazy Black Men!!!!!

And make them get a job.

I wish more women would believe in "tough love" with these lazy black men. Stop feeling sorry for them cause their daddy ran off. Start making them work when they get of age.

Don't let them just sit around your home all day at 15 when they should be in school somewhere. If you can teach your daughters to budget, pay bills and handle their business; teach your boys also.

See, what so many of us fail to realize is that these same "big babies" who we spoil will one day be "grown men" with no work ethic OR sense of responsibility. They won't be able to earn a living for themselves and will thus turn to drugs or living off mommy or girlfried or wife.

They will NOT become men. They will ONLY become sperm donors. Black men should be taught to be more than that.

STOP SWEET TALKING THESE BLACK MEN FORCING THEM TO BECOME LAZY!!!!

Why White Women are More Desired: The Truth

won't say black men have "lost interest" in black women as you put it. Black men have always lusted after non black women because these women for centuries were off limits to black men. Its almost like the lure of the forbidden fruit.

However, now white women and other nationalities of women are simply more accessible. Many black men have fed into America's image of beauty which is anything light, bright and if you're "lucky" full blown white. They don't realize that by mating over and over with these kinds of women they are endangering their own race and many probably do not care.

It's almost like the white man has conditionally brainwashed black men to "hate themselves" and anything in their image.

The white race has worked hard to establish their "standard of beauty" all over the world. They have even made Arab men long for white, blonde haired, blue eyed women and largely negate their own. White beauty has been established in the mind of all men worldwide as the epitome of beauty.

This is wrong, but this is what is happening.

Dirty Ass, Racist Ass Memphis, TN

Memphis, TN is probably known for its barbecue, Elvis Presley and Graceland (of course) and Blues. Many people do not know that Memphis is probably one of America's most racist cities. I don't doubt this AT ALL. Memphis Sucks and I would move but most other places have just as much racism as Memphis. I found this out after I moved to Atlanta. The only major black businesses are the black churches and the pimps who run them and of course the black colleges who charge more than they should for the substandard education they offer.

Memphis is filled with hillbilly, white racists who would rather cut off their member than see blacks get ahead. There is so much poverty in Memphis, TN that it is unbelievable. I was traveling in Nebraska and was checking into the hotel in Omaha and a young white fellow was like, "you're from Memphis?" and he went on to state how he "hated Memphis and how it seemed the only businesses were liquor stores and fast food places and how all the people with money were leaving". Unfortunately, he hit the nail on the head.

Why Africans and American Blacks "Really Don't Like Each Other"

I had never met an African until I left highschool and started college in Jackson, MS. I was attending a school called Tougaloo College which is a small private African American college. One of my professor, Dr. Olabode (amazing how I still remember that name) was from Nigeria. I liked him. He was funny and frank and open and warm. Well, I also met a few other africans there in Jackson, MS and they were cool for the most part, although they were highly sexually charged.

Well, I moved to Atlanta, GA and WHOA!!! was I in for a big suprise. It seems like 5 out of 10 folks I met there were from some part of Africa. Many of them were friendly at first, but after getting to know them I found them to be have deep seated stereotypes (Go figure) of American blacks. They could not understand why so many of us did not take advantage of the American education in this country, especially when the Government provided you with loans and grants to go to school. I was always hearing from them how American blacks don't take advantage of the vast opportunities in this country.

Second, many of the Africans I met looked down on american blacks. They were arrogant almost. They treated the women like street hookers and after they "toyed" with American black women, they would go back to their countries to pick their wives "or" marry a white woman. I found African men to be just as whorish, if not more so, than their American black male counterparts. They looked at wives as property and someone to cook and have their children. Their wives had no opinion on anything. They are mindless drones.

Now, Nigerians are all of the above and "worse" but they had sense enough to demand out of their women that they work. They made "sure" that their wives were of the educated sort who could pull in the big money. Nothing wrong with that. While American black males were running around looking at women as only "sex" objects, African men seemed to have higher standards in picking the mother of their children.

American blacks on the other hand look at Africans and feel they have no room to look down on anyone because they have let white European domination of their continent for years. They are brainwashed by all of the Jewish and White controlled media outlets that only depict Africa as dark, dangerous and full of despair. They never show the more prosperous parts of Africa. They do this by design I think.

However, with nations such as Ghana starting projects like "TheJosephProject.com" (Check the website out, its fantastic) where they are welcoming ALL blacks back "home" I think that their will start to be a unity between Africans and American blacks.

I sure hope so. We seem divided enough.

Lessons Learned from The Jena 6

The Jena 6 incident in Jena, LA was indeed a very unfortunate one. It is an incident that shows that racism in Amerikkka, especially in the deep south is very much alive and well. I believe there are many reasons for this, but one of the main reasons is that Southern Whites feel that they are still silently fighting the Civil War. Although of course they are not fighting this battle with guns and other weapons of the sort, they are fighting back with economic discrimination of blacks, intimidation and other means. They do not like blacks PERIOD. We need to face the fact.

As a black woman who was born and raised in Mississippi, educated in Georgia and Tennessee, I can assure you that there is still a lot of bitterness from whites toward blacks in the South. A lot of this racism has unfortunately passed itself off to foreigners and new immigrants to the South who are quick to recognize who the main power holders are and they are quick to align themselves with "whites" and take on their prejudice of blacks. Many blacks are surprised that in the South foreigners, and yes, this includes many africans as well as others, look down on American blacks. They also have a deep resentment.

There are many whites in the South and elsewhere "but especially in the South" who still feel a sense of "entitlement" because they are "white". They drive around all day in the big pickup trucks with their confederate battle flags mean mugging blacks and hispanics. Its almost like one can see in their eyes their true hatred for other races.

The Jena 6 showed us that there are also large racial disparities in the Judicial system that unfairly sentences blacks to harsher sentences than whites, even for the same crimes.

To sum it all up, I would have to say that the Jena 6 movement shows all of us Amerikkka has a way to go to be a nation of "true" equality for all of its citizens, not just "whites".

Why It's Hard to Be A Black Woman Today......

Blacks don't help each other

I can tell you first hand it is very hard to be a black woman in America today. As black women we are constantly degraded by our own kind and held back by our own kind. Ever hear the saying " Blacks Treat each other Like Crabs in a Barrel"? Well, you get my point.

Black people don't help each other like we should, especially in the South. I believe that blacks in the cities and up North are more open to helping each other get ahead. In the South, the handful of successful blacks fight tooth and nail to make sure another black does not get ahead. Why is this? I do not know?

Marriage

Also, it is very difficult for a black woman today to find marriage partners. Many black men are already married "or" are not worth a woman's time. Trust me. It seems like many young black men are so lazy and do not want to work. They would rather stand on the street corners "slangin" (God, I hate that term but they use it so often) dope and marijuanna. They want to be "cool". How on earth is it cool to be living "off" of your woman at 30 years of age with several offspring who don't even know you (and when grown they won't "care" to know you)? Is it everybody's fault that your momma gave it up too soon to a boy who didn't want to be a father?

If you look at the black female to male ratio its no wonder black women are not getting married. Its alarming especially in cities like Atlanta, GA where there are so many successful, single black women. Many black women have even resorted to what is known in the black community as "man sharing" where two "or more" women openly share a man. I'm like WTF. For real.

And then many black men when they get money run off with white women. The prison population is also majority black and then we have what is known as the "down low" phenomenom where black men have sex with other black men (I know - Yuck right) without anybody knowing. Is it any wonder The AIDS/HIV virus is so prevalent in our communities.

Employment

I have a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration/Finance and it is so hard for me to even find employment that pays me a living wage. White folks try and treat us "blacks" like it is a "priviledge" for us to work but a "right" for them to work. Like Malcolm X stated, they say go to school and get an education, but when you do they say you are "overqualified" for the job you applied for or that your skills do not fit. Even whites with just a high school diploma find work at 4 times the rate as blacks.

I hate the South but it is where I'm from and where my family is at. However, the job market in the South is awful. And why are so many black folks rushing to Atlanta like its the land of milk and honey, those racists there don't want to hire us either. I know, I went to school there and lived there for 8 years.

I hate the South.
