Some women know the hottest clubs in their city, but they don't know who the father is to their child(ren).

Real Talk Friday

Everyone is secure in their relationship until another (wo)man comes along and tries to holler.

Burning bridges is ok if it keeps you from going back to the place God brought you out of.

Sex Vs. Ring

It's easier for a man to get sex than a woman to get a ring.

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) July 13, 2016

This tweet is very true because all one has to do is look at some men & women's relationship dynamics. For the most part, a man has no problem getting action from random women. A woman who's looking for commitment has to work harder to find a guy on her level because she's not satisfied with being a man's sex toy. She's looking to build a life with her suitor. Depending on the woman, sex may come before/after marriage. A man wants nookie, the woman wants the ring. Guess who has to work harder for what they want? I'll Wait.

Open Marriage=Cheating

I read an article about Mo'Nique and her husband having an open marriage, and the crazy thing is that Mo'Nique suggested the idea. According to them, having an open marriage fosters honesty because you're not keeping your mate in the dark as to who you're seeing (if anyone). I don't know too many women who would be ok with an open marriage, and why should they? Marriage is elementary: One Man=One Woman. Nowhere in marriage is there an "open marriage" clause. Let me say this: Open marriage=cheating. I don't care how anyone tries to justify it, it's cheating. If you have to step outside of your so-called marriage in order to get your needs met, then you don't have much of a "marriage" to begin with, let alone failed at picking the right person. When you take someone as your husband/wife, you're trusting them to meet your needs. You see in them what you can't see in anyone else. 

Ashley Lauren Whitlock Exactly, to me it's an excuse to make you feel better about cheating openly.

That's exactly what this open marriage foolery is, an excuse to cheat under the guise of "honesty". I already have a low view of relationships anyway, and reading the article about Mo'Nique and her husband's open marriage confirmed it. Marriage has become polluted that it's no longer sacred anymore.

I Don't Go To Church Because...

"I don't go to church because the people are phony & judgmental"
But you go to work & school with the same phonies everyday, so cut the crap. Just admit you don't want to go to church. Besides, too many people go to church for people anyway. Some people forget that church is a place of worship. When you're in the sanctuary, your focus is on God, not man. You get fed spiritually, and walk it out in your daily life. I'm tired of some people getting slighted with the church because they went for people instead of God. If you're going to church for people, you will be disappointed. There's no limit to people's excuses for choosing not to go to church.

Praying Times For God's People

Richard Hudson 

5 mins 

When I heard about Alton Sterling and Philando Castile being shot down, it was a matter of time before some Christians started screaming prayer. I know the power of prayer and it's gotten me through serious trials. At the same time, you have to put action behind prayer. Not everyone's saved, so how can folks expect unsaved folks to pray in trying times? They're not. The world is about action, not prayer. What's going on with the Downtown Dallas Massacre (the 14 people shot, and 5 officers who died yesterday) and just recently the Alton Sterling and Philando Castile situation, people are fed up. When you're tired of seeing your people mistreated, if you can't get justice through the criminal justice system, the next best thing (according to some people) is to take the law into your hands, which is what some people are doing. Unsaved people aren't trying to hear nothing about prayer. Another thing, God calls HIS people to pray, not the world (2 Chronicles 7:14).

A few incidents:
1. Man sent to jail after threatening to kill police in Bossier City, LA. He must know that the feds are heavy on social media, so he was delusional to think he wasn't going to be arrested for threatening law enforcement on social media, smh.
2. Another policeman shot down in Valdosta, GA. This was yesterday.
3. A Houston officer (allegedly, because we don't know what led up to the person getting blasted) shoots unarmed black person.
Those 5 officers exterminated in DT Dallas yesterday are fresh in the minds of many, as is Alton Sterling & Philando Castile. If police didn't have a target on their backs before, they have one now.

Part 1: RIP, Pro-Police and Black Lives Matter

Disclaimer: If you're expecting anti-police rhetoric in my post, you will be disappointed because I don't go for that. Just like every profession, you have your good & bad, but unfortunately the bad can mess it up for everyone. I'll take it one step further, I'm expecting to be called a coon, Uncle Tom, or whatever just because I won't get on the "I Hate Police" train. Or, just do yourselves a favor and delete me. I've never cared about being deleted and I'm not about to start now.

Every time a black man is shot down in the street, there are three groups of people: 1. The Black Lives Matter Crowd-These are the people who shout Black Lives Matter WHEN it comes to an officer shooting an unarmed black person. These same people turn a blind eye to the black-on-black genocide going on in the hood. Do you see BLM protesting against inner-city violence? Negative, but they're out there when a cop is investigated for killing an unarmed black person. Black Lives MUST matter to blacks before they matter to anyone else, period.
2. Pro-Police crowd-These types support law enforcement officers, good and bad. They understand there are good cops who do right, but sometimes overlook the corrupt officers. For the people saying how the police should pull out and let residents of ghetto neighborhoods fend for themselves, how do you think that would go over? I'll wait. Even though many inner-city residents distrust the police, deep down they'll still call the police when they're a victim. All that "F The Police" propaganda is just that, PROPAGANDA. You can be pro-police and expect law enforcement to be held accountable for misconduct.
3. RIP-This group makes statuses saying RIP Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, etc. when the majority don't know those people personally. Let's Be Clear: My heart goes out to Alton Sterling and Philando Castile's families. Black Men had prices on their heads for decades now, and it started with removing the father from the home (The only way black women could get public assistance was if the father wasn't in the home). Everyone wants to say RIP for fallen black men, but what about RIP for INNOCENT officers? Most of the time, the shooter(s) take out innocents instead of the actual perpetrators. The innocents didn't kill that man, so why do they have to die? That mess is foul.
