Hey there!
Why are the questions about the self-love and self-respect directed at the mistress....and not the man who was cheating?
The mistress didn't break the marital vows. She didn't MAKE the marital vows. He did. So where is HIS self-love and HIS self-respect?
There are plenty of men who are in cosmetic marriages and their wives are just an accessory for the "package" of looking successful and stable. Most of these men don't even live in the same house with their wives and haven't done so for years.
Jesse Sr. had not lived in the same house with his wife for twenty years when the "SCANDAL" broke that he had fathered a baby with another woman.

The questions about self-love and self-respect are directed at the whore...mistress.."that which we call a rose would smell as sweet by any other name" because she should have known better....HE is married. If your relationship is exposed, can you really hold your head up? Can you honesty say "I did not do anything wrong". We are our own moral compass out here in this bad world. You always have the ability to say ,,,,thanks, but no thanks because on every level this is wrong. So this is why, I believe the question is directed to the side piece. Really, grow up...or get a bottle, crawl in a stroller and live by the mantra that you do not control your behavior....like the 2 and 3 year children in this world....

in On My Mind… on Conversations With Marva
Hey there!
This is really deep...
I think that this 17-year old was so mentally battered that she was unable to make rational choices for herself and for her own safety and that of her child...

What about the choices made PRIOR to her being in this situation? I am not one that believes that having a child at a young age ruins your life...it does however make it harder. Don't compound that by thinking that you have to bow to some indignant fool who is no good for you.

in Media Alert: Michelle Obama on Jack and Jill Politics
Hi there!
I agree with WhiteRoseBuddy that there are plenty of families like the Obamas in black America... PLENTY... they are not some rare and exquisite example of the black family. There are solid black families with two devoted parents who are raising wonderful and happy and well-behaved children who are thriving.
It is always a bit disconcerting for me to hear black people making comments that high-achieving black couples are just soooo stunningly unusual in their experience...
One thing that Michelle Obama's PR team has been trying to do is to dismantle the notion that a black person ONLY represents blacks and not the whole of America. It will take a lot for that message to sink in.
Michelle Obama IS an American not a "niche group" American that only "the niche" can identify with.
Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!

Yes!
You know what I can't firgure BWBT?
Why is it that Coates as a black person bought into the stereotype of blacks being poor and ignorant to such a degree that he categorized what Michelle was saying as 'sounding like a white person'? What created that level of distortion in his mind as an educated black person, how could he have had those same stereotypes to the degree that he is perpetuating them with his article as so uncommon place that he as a black 'educated' male...thought Michelle was 'white'?
What is up with that mentality?

in General Motors Delivers Armored 2009 Cadillac Presidential Limousine, Set to Make its Debut at Barack Obama's Inauguration on Black Political Thought
Janet,
If the limo had been unveiled and it had been pimped-out then black folks would have screamed racism!! They would have said it was a drug mogul's limo and not fitting for a president....so now the new limo is understated and not "hip".
I can live with that as long as the First Family is safer.
*smiles*

You make an excellent point. And I'm sure some will probably already make some racist remarks at the fact that the nation's first black President & family are riding around in a Cadillac.

in Social Networking Delusions of Grandeur on [FUNG'KE] [BLAK] [CHIK]
Gurl, I am over here cracking UP seriously about this topic!!
*LOL*
I am on FB but I really don't use it and I don't even have a page set up. I registered for it so that I can connect with people I know who don't communicate with the outside world, except by FB! {loooong sigh}
I joined Twitter a month ago and I am still trying to figure out WHY people are sooo excited about it. It's great if you want to read 10-15 news feeds at the same time, but you also have to read a bunch of useless information about what someone ate for dinner and how many gray hairs they have in their right ear.
I think that people need to understand that blogs are NOT autobiographies...people say whatever they want to about their lives online. There are some people who fall in love with someone based on a web page.... that is just sooo sad... really.
Renaissance Black Woman had to post a man's pic and detail the cyber stalking last year just to warn other women. I hope that they took her warning seriously....
Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!

P.S. Just a teeny reminder (smiles)...you can vote for my blog this week in The Weblog Awards!

You definitely have my vote! I love your blog :)
With FB, I think after this reunion planning, I'll be done with it...the small circle of people that I want to communicate already know how to reach me...
I recall RBW's incident, where she had to put him on blast! As much as people can warn others, there's always those that refuse to heed those warnings, unfortunately.

and all the other men out there like him. I think you have missed a very
important point about Jesse Jackson -- he is a pastor and his behavior spoke
volumes to his character.
Back to Ms. Cooper -- whether a man is married in name only is still no
excuse for a woman to put herself out there like that. Yes, he's a scumbag
who has no respect for neither himself nor his wife, but like John Edwards
his clean-cut image has been forever damaged. Rev. Jackson lost a lot of
respect from many people by his infidelity, among other things. As a woman,
I could NEVER knowingly have a relationship with a married man, let alone
unprotected sexual intercourse. I am pretty sure she knew he was
married because his wife is well known around New York City. Again, this
speaks to self-respect in my book, on both sides.
