Husbands and Boyfriends

I have two pieces up today about two separate trends that irritate my spirit.

The first doesn’t affect me in any particular way, though I find it annoying all the same. Black women, I don’t know why the media has decided to act like somebody’s nagging mama ready to see you get married and put some beans in that oven, but I wish they would stop.

You can check out my thoughts on that lingering trend – including me paying homage to the Fairy Godmother – here.

The other article is for those who seem to have a connection to President Obama that prevents them from accepting any constructive criticism about him even when it’s warranted. Yes, I know some people have been unfair to him, but look around — what’s going on with us collectively is even worse. He has my vote, but not blind support.

I have another piece coming, one more personal and tied into some long-term goals. I’ll post when they do. Please pass these works and this site’s link around like bad taste at a Basketball Wives reunion.
