I Don't see Color
People often tell me I don't have enough black friends.
They say I don't dress like I'm black.
Or listen to enough black music.
I first laugh in response and then I say this...
When I chose my friends I look at the person heart
I don't see color.
When I dress I dress in my own style
I don't see color.
When I listen to music I listen for the beauty of the voices.
I don't see color.
We are the carrier of dream of Dr. King
We need to see for the content of their character....

Raindrops
To the naked eye each raindrop seems the same, but if you close your eyes and look at each raindrop with your mind’s eye you’d see that every raindrop is different. Raindrops are snowflakes yet to be frozen and no snowflake is the same yet they are all beautiful in their own way. All humans are raindrops similar yet different but beautiful in our own way like raindrops

So
The other day on the fifth Anniversary of our invasion of Iraq our Vice President Chaney said so when he was told that 75% of us the American people believe that the war in Iraq is a mistake. So what if we never found weapons of mass destruction. So what if we never know whether Bin Laden is dead or alive. So what if Hussein is dead but nothing really has change. So what if we are now looked at as the terrorist in this so called war on terrorism. So what if we have sent more American to their de… Continue

I have been waiting over twenty years for this day, and now it is finally here. I am excited but nervous. I got hundreds of questions to ask him. From do I have any other siblings, has he thought of me and the biggest question of all why did he leave me? My mom used to tell me I looked just like him and I wonder when I see him today will I see my features in him. Well I hear someone coming this way it must be him. Wow, all they gave me was a flag and some dog tags and took me to a white cross. T… Continue

You know what is sad in all this, the sentiment on this board is not about wanting to see justice, because frankly those on this board have shown they could care less about facts (not a single person here has seen the court documents of the case oth…
Because Sophia has made false claims! She said she won the case and that turned out to be a flat out lie! Why on earth would be you surprised she is now being scrutinized after misleading many?
you believe it because they say so? LOL! Name me ONE TIME where Sophia ever produced a court document about her case.
Well, that's what THEY are telling us, so we must BELIEVE it! We know this is the whole story, because THEY told us so, why would THEY lie? All of the information received on this case are from 100% accurate, objective and reliable sources, our very…
And you wonder why people view you guys as a fringe nutcase bunch? Sophia was going around purposely MISLEADING people into thinking she "won" the case. There are followers of this woman all over the net, fighting tooth and nail she ACTUALLY won the…
I guess none of you people have ever lost a court case! Do you realize that winning a court case has nothing to do with being wrong or right?
As a journalist, I have been taught to question everything! And it puzzles me as to why African Americans are so quick to question Stewart but not her accusers! So I ask you, how do you know this information is false? Don't respond with a reference…
