My Personality Type

I have been reading a few books to see what type of personality I really have. I know as a child I was told I was shy, but coming up in the projects shy can get you hurt. I see a part of me in my oldest son. He used to tell me when I’d visit him in juvy “I didn’t start it, but I had to finish it.” I was in a few fights, not too many, most in the South end. Not too many fights because my sister is also in my son. She never started it, but she’d end it. There were a lot of children afraid of my si… Continue

Diversity Training. Does it Really Work??

Diversity Training. Does it work, or is it another day off from work for those who wrong? (I just read http://ping.fm/Kzguk) .

Which is better

Is it better for a woman to make $50-60K a year and be single; or make $0 (outside the home) and be married? Is there a reason a hardworking Black men will not approach a Black woman he knows makes more than him, even though he may be interested? Should the black woman who makes a good income resolve to being single, forever? Hit me back. Continue

KALE GREENS

Sesame Kale with mushrooms There are so many great fruits and vegetables to grow that it can be difficult to decide how to invest your time and garden space, says Ken Carman. Most of us grow food for two reasons, nutrition and pleasure. For example, many will eat spinach because it is good for us, and yet look at how many people eat iceburg lettuce, which has little nutritive value. I am not going to write about growing for your pleasure because that is entirely up to your own personal preferen… Continue

NY Post and Sean Delonas

I read the so called apology in the NY Post concerning the cartoon drawn by Sean Delonas, which I guess for some, is supposed to somewhat be a half attempted step in the right direction. I don't accept it, I knew some of the history of Mr. Delonas. He knew exactly what he was doing. Why do I say that? Well, because he's done it before. And, obviously he's gotten away with it because he's still doing it. He's done it many many time. He cares nothing for any group of people outside his own. He's… Continue
