Still we ask, How Come?

[1savvydiva]

HC Black folks don't realize that it is a privilege to vote?

HC a lot of us don't take advantage of this privilege?

HC years ago, we weren't even considered to be a whole person?

HC we have come a long way?

HC we have a long way to go?

HC exercising your right to VOTE can help us in that journey?

HC people just don't see this?

HC the republicans SWEPT the state of SC for the most part?

HC Steve Benjamin was very close to becoming the first BLACK Attorney General for SC (and he is a member of Kappa Alpha Psi...do you think all of his frat brothers exercised their right? )

HC this shows that a lot of us did get out and vote?

HC it's still not enough?

HC I need some ideas, I want to get on the soapbox on campus next semester to DRILL the importance of just ONE vote to my fellow students?

HC IF YOU DON'T VOTE, YOU CANNOT COMPLAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HC IF YOU DON'T VOTE YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HC IF YOU DON'T VOT YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

1savvydiva,

HC I feel your pain too.
HC just a few months ago, I went through something similar
HC I’ve known my ex all my life
HC he was my best friend 10 years before we got together
HC he proposed to me in March
HC April he’s sleeping with a coworker
HC May she’s pregnant and emailing me at work
HC I’ve never been hurt like that before
HC it felt like a dagger went straight through my heart
HC the Holy Spirit was speaking to me
HC in my prayer, I asked God if marrying my “then boyfriend” was his will for my life (before I knew about the girl)
HC that’s when ALL the skeletons fell out the closet
HC I attended a conference and the guest minister preached “How to Go Forward”
HC I received my rhema word (a word that speaks directly to your situation)
HC I got my praise on for it
HC that was a rough period for me
HC he was the only one that I talked to about everything because we’ve known each other all our lives
HC I didn’t want to talk to my girls about it
HC they were having troubles of their own
HC I don’t like pity parties anyway
HC this fool calls and leaves messages at least 3 times a day.
HC on one message he said, God said, “I am his wife”
HC God didn’t send me that memo
HC I can’t be with someone who has not one, but TWO BABY MOMMAS
HC I know I deserve better
HC looking back, I realized I settled and accepted a lot of mess that I didn’t have to take
HC that was because I didn’t want to lose my friend
HC with time, tears, and much prayer, I’ve found God to be a healer!
HC I can say I feel much better about the situation
HC up until then, I never experienced drama in a relationship
HC this is merely a glimpse of the story
HC I’m about to change the subject
HC I made it just in the nick of time to vote yesterday
HC traffic was crazy
HC all I got was a little piece of paper that said thank you for voting
HC my coworkers of the other persuasion received stickers
HC the Democrats won just about every available seat
HC I feel a change comin’ on
HC I hope it’s for the better
HC I rarely get to visit GC
HC I have to get back to work
HC bye

HC I feel ya, 1savvydiva?
HC I made sure to do the absentee while I’m away from home?
HC I went out w/ the Urban League to do voter reg. In September?
HC this one lady made us shake our heads?
HC she was in her fifties?
HC when we asked her had she registered, she said, “No”?
HC one of us said it was important?
HC her reply was “in all my years, I ain’t never voted, don’t want to vote, and ain’t gon’ vote”?
HC folks fought too hard to get us this privilege and some folks just don’t care?
HC we expected responses like that from people in their 20’s & 30’s, but not someone in her 50’s?
HC it was a damn shame?
HC you’re right, 1savvydiva, we’ve got a loooonnnng way to go?
HC it rained here yesterday in Indiana?
HC I knew that meant the voter turnout will be low?
HC it was?
HC republicans pretty much took this state?
HC **shaking my head**

HC....

Some folks have not yet grasped the concept of effective communication?


HC....

I'm going to drop the Hot a$$ vocabulary word on y'all to better assist folks with their communication skills?

HC.....

That word is:

1. ***TACT - Acute sensitivity to what is proper and appropriate in dealing with others, including the ability to speak or act without offending***

HC....

I AM NOT THE ONE to be wretchin' around (Y'all saw Kings of Comedy) with ill-mannered, discourteous people


HC....


Folks should either "approach" me correctly...or NOT AT ALL

Bye Bye Now

[Sexy Mocha]

HC....


It's almost frightening that people can abuse insignificant power too

(It's never THAT serious...is it? )

It's because I'm black, right?

Ooh Ooh Can I be down? I wanna delete posts too!

Boy...I just love my people
