Monday, October 1, 2007. The Maturation of a Black Pen: Marriage and the Men Who Won't.

And then without realizing - or maybe intentionally - they exhibit ...

Black Girl Blogging: August 2007
http://blackgirlblogging.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 28, 2007. From the Mind of a Black American Woman. Over the coming weeks, I will muse on various topics - and one will have to be how very much I hate the word "muse" as a verb. Being black and all(smile), I suppose you could say it will be written from a black perspective. I am very in touch with the hood in me, but was raised (mostly) in the suburbs. So, I speak "Oh My Gaaaawwd" and "Here he is! I watched a thousand commercials between episodes of. Young and the Restless. Please rule fr...

http://blackgirlblogging.blogspot.com/2007/10/who-gets-my-vote-dont-give-it-up-too.html
Monday, October 1, 2007. Who Gets My Black Girl Vote? Don't Give it Up Too Soon - Make Them Buy That Cow. What is politics to us? Is it the same politics that our forefathers and mothers gathered in church basements to create? Is it the same distinguished activism to change public policy? Marching, you remember, in pencil skirts and pearls? Class within their carriage, were our black women of that day. No MTV in sight. Pre-. No, Jackie-O had nothing on the women of the Civil. Control ladies. Smart, s...

Wednesday, November 7, 2007. The Debate for Black Women: Sisterhood vs. The Dream. Many articles are touting a dilemma facing black women: Hilary or Barack. Decisions. Decisions. And then, after solving the problem of which one to choose with our ever-powerful vote, there is an even greater question: Why? Never got invited to the sleepover did we, dear? No, Hilary was not going to leave Bill and we knew it. So we watched and felt that sting you feel, when the thought of the person you love lipping. Marsh...

Thursday, October 4, 2007. Tale of Two Marions: Great ones Going Social. I awoke to find two Marions. In the news this morning, two black Marions. Ood news.
