Hello everyone

Thank you for your comments and your point of views are refreshing to hear. As you may have read in my previous post I do have a situation at my job with some low minded women. It is unfortunate, however I don’t base all of my life experiences on the low class of a few and that includes Black, White, Latino, and everyone else. I have just truly in recent years begun to see all the imperfections within many of the kinds of people around me . I don’t appreciate any people that complain so much about what others have or why they don’t have, based on race.  As I said NOT ALL BLACKS do this.  But I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge that many African “Americans” do.  I see the difference in the way that “Most” Latinos are different than the African Americans. One difference is that when I say Latinos I don’t think that you understand that I’m not talking in the mindset of an American. I’m speaking from the point of view of a Puerto Rican. We don’t separate ourselves as people do here in America. If I did I would first preface that I’m African (not African American), I’m Spanish, German, Irish, French, Taíno Indian, and Scottish.  But because Puerto Ricans don’t try to distinguish ourselves in that way, we are just Puerto Rican (THE BEST OF EVERYTHING). I think that is one of the reason’s why I get so much flux from the women here at my job because I don’t take a side. The White people at my job feel that they must betray themselves and feel ashamed of being White, and by kissing the ass of the management that is predominantly Black.  The Black women in the office have a problem with me because if you’re disrespectful to me or to others in the office, I will not stand for it (I’m a strong Puerto Rican woman and they don’t like it).   

 I think since I am of African ancestry I’m not envious of some African Americans who prattle about what they don’t have or wish that could have, or the fact that many use the race card when they don’t want to blame themselves for their misfortune. You see I speak from the perspective of a woman that knows the African American people I have been raised in the African American community. I have always had African American friends and I have African American family. I have not been like some who have just watched from the outside and looked in the window that the media have painted regarding the African American people. I have known, lived, heard, cried, laughed, argued, played and have been raised with the African American people.  The problem is that I speak to the problems that I see that haven’t changed within the group that I have grown up with. 

I have to speak on a snippet of a comment that was sent by a fellow blogger trust me it’s one hell of a snippet as it pertains to my last post.  

“as it comes across as envious, woried about what other people do, although it has nothing to do with you, gossipy, mean spirited, worried about how other’s think of you, instead of knowing who you are, etc”. 

 I want to speak to the gossipy comment its only gossip if it’s something that I haven’t expressed to the people how I feel in person and if it weren’t information that is already known. Then why speak to it? Because it does affect everyone you, me, White, Black, Latino and everyone else who deal with this type of attitude and lack of accountability. If everyone just blames everyone else and tries to justify crime, drug, teen pregnancy, homelessness, and everything that goes wrong and we don’t try to change the mindset of people, then everyone will be affected because no one will take responsibility. Plus it’s an attitude that I am hoping that my ½ African American children will not have to see from their own people. I have taught them different then most and their father is defiantly one who has forbidden that skin, and the past to ever be used as a crutch. SO IT AFFECTS ME… As far as me having to know myself; that is one thing that I think gives me power in this entire conversation. I know myself and the way that Puerto Rican’s relish in our Black culture and we don’t dwell on the past of Puerto Rico when it was raped, pillaged, and taken over. We can’t change the past don’t think that we would want to (weird to say I know). We love who we are we NOW, understand that we can speak with the voice of many different cultures and when we do it’s not to talk about how we have been treated in the past and how it’s kept us from growing (we don’t carry that kind of boulders). We just keep moving forward and loving, dancing, eating, praying, looking to what’s next, not to who did what to whom way back when,  some African Americans do that and it doesn’t help.  Last but not least. Envy? Truly what do I have to be envious of? I have everything already. I have a truly wonderful Black man that has every quality that any woman or child could ever want in a husband or dad, two gorgeous multicultural gems for children, great friends, awesome family, the ability to still be able to afford to buy food, fuel for my cars, and the opportunity to be able to speak my mind and get some great feedback from a lot of intelligent people like you.   

 

Thank you for all the comments

Mrs. Black

I was listening to Michigan radio (NPR)  http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90280905  (a lot of calls about Black folks thinking that White people need to see what they have done wrong, and what how race is being used in the election…) and I just wanted to say that I think that everyone blaming everything that is race related on the White population has to stop (it’s the White persons fault that there is so much conversation about Rev Wright). I think that he has put himself and others who think like him out on the fire. It can’t be his fault that the media has taken a liking to a hot story.  Just like every problem in the world it’s about White people treating other cultures poorly (do people think that?). I think that it has become just easier for people to just blame White’s since they already feel guilty for things their ancestors have done, so why the hell not make all of them second guess what they are saying and doing forever. I’m not naïve to think that there aren’t some racist White people out there but I am also not naïve to think that there aren’t just as many Black, Middle Eastern, Asian racists….  You name it and I’m sure someone in that group has a problem with you.  Really, I am tired about hearing how White people need to know how Black people feel. Understand it sounds bad, but give me a minute. What is there to understand? Why only the feelings of Black people, what about other minorities? What about Black people understanding that it’s bullshit to always blame all White people for something that happened so long ago. What about thinking that while there may be still some racist people out there that you can’t blame all White people for those few. By the way White people you don’t have to feel bad for things you never had control over. THE WHITE GUILT THING, DROP IT! Do you think that all Black people feel sorry that you feel bad about issues that you never took part in? Doubt it. Pick up the guilt stick when you know that you personally have been in control of depriving, stereotyping, facilitating poverty, crime, and the neglect of the Black community. I think that it is just easier to blame White people now for what many Black people can’t control for themselves. Like crime, drugs, unemployment, teen pregnancies, diseases, and education just to name a few. Is it the fault of White people that some Blacks don’t raise themselves or raise their children up to NOT do drugs, commit crimes, have unprotected pre marital sex, and to drop out of school?  Is it really? Because I will tell you one thing in my house I don’t give anyone that type of power over me and my children. Do Black people need to feel like someone is taking care of them? That they need someone to hold their hand while raising their children or their own lives?  It’s makes me mad because it seems that other races don’t blame White people for their problems (except for some idiots like Hugo Chaves from Venezuela, Fidel Castro from Cuba, and some other Middle Eastern/Asian countries). But as for cultures here in American it seems that Black people are the only people that truly NEED to give up the responsibility to be held accountable now in this day an age for their own actions.

Black people need to understand for themselves, that with even the word N—- they give people power. They can’t stand to have a White person call them N but it’s cool to do it to themselves (no self respect), don’t call our women a ho’s let us do it and not in private I want to make a CD about it and put a catchy tune to it so that everyone can rap along. Don’t take away my ability to have a nice neighborhood I’ll steal, break windows, sell drugs, dress like hoodlums all by myself. Power is what you give to White people when you pretend that they are responsible for your fucked up life.  If you want it to be the White peoples fault then by all means kick off your shoes, stop taking care of your children, and sell yourselves back to them for nothing make it legal.

It’s all on you to blame yourself for carrying around a boulder of memories that were never yours to begin with. Every year we have Black history month and I think that we should stop. The HISTORY that is being celebrated are the days that we blame White people for today. I want to celebrate the Black Culture as we do in Puerto Rico through food, music, our passion for one another, and our growth as a people no matter what skin color you are. 

 Mrs. Black    

 

Before you read, I have put job applications in everywhere. But the jobs that I find or I am offered don’t pay what I make now with the benefits that my kids need.

For five years now my work days look like this. I get into work where I am watched to see if I made it in one time…

Then I sit at a desk where out of 10 employees, 4 definitely hate me one white, three black, 1 just doesn’t want to be bothered with my existence (only white guy in a sea of women), 1 only works two 5 hour shift and is nice to everyone (she’s black) , 1 other is Latina and goes through everything I do, 1. White woman in the office is little by little being bullied, and the only other African American woman is ostracized because she is 1. Bisexual, 2. She hangs with Latinos, 3. Is looked at as not black enough 4. She kisses the other black women’s ass too much, so they treat her like crap and don’t respect her.

The problem here in the office is that the African American’s in our office have a power trip. It’s sad reallyL. Since some of us are not black we are treated like crap. I think that this is the “NEW” racisms some blacks against everyone else. This office is a fascinating place to work just because of this dynamic.

I’ve been very vocal here in this office as to my feelings as to what has been going on here, and it has truly fallen on deaf ears. The U is very protective of scandals. I filed a Race discrimination report but as far as the U is concerned they don’t see it. There have been people other than myself that have written letters regarding this office (before I was even employed here) and they still have done nothing to help.

But through my time here I have been told that because I complained about poor treatment that “snitches back in the day would be HUNG in the back of the house in the woods by their necks”. A black woman who was upset at me for outing her friend for embezzlement of tens of thousands of $$$ told me that. I told my supervisor only to find out that the woman I told on was HER BEST FRIEND! OOOPS.

There are hundreds of these types of things that happen here and no matter what I try to do to shine a light to the goings on here it never seems to work.

I actually had to take a medical leave from this place. But the ironic part to this entire thing is that I work for U of M and in a field that is specifically designed to help people of diverse backgrounds. The Director is a black person who when looking for a Latina to fill the position as receptionist, she went to the only place where she knew she could find a Latina, the cleaning services department at the U. Prior to her hiring me she hired two other Latina women. She apparently was told that she didn’t have a diverse staff so she had to hire other races besides blacks. She got herself a token white woman (who she made into a manager and who goes through hell on a daily basis) (she has actually said that she doesn’t want too many whites employed, you can’t trust them together), and two Latino’s (she told us to our faces that we can’t be trusted). Also she acts like we are literally the same people I can’t say anything with out my other Latina friend being pulled into a conversation of “so this is how you both feel”.

(Not funny but I must get it out)

Well when I was hired the director saw pictures of my two children and my husband, and then told me that she calls children that are of mixed races “half-breeds”.

Well to say that I was shocked and slack jawed is an understatement. Unfortunately I tried to think that maybe she didn’t mean what she said. Well within these years I met this person’s mother and apparently the mother also had interesting comments about other races and mixing of the races.

The director here seems to also think that all Latinos are gardeners. She had made a comment about an Asian woman from a committee that we both sat on saying that “she was “surprised that this woman had such a successful position” (in a major auto company) “especially with her having a thick accent, why doesn’t she learn how to speak English properly”? I then spoke to her about my father and him having a heavy accent and how that it has never been that big of a deal for him while working. She immediately said “wow and with him being a gardener”. I never said he was a gardener. I did tell her that he is a very educated man and that due to the fact that he was taught my the monks from the island of Puerto Rico he knew a few languages and his accent never held him back. She still focused on the fact that my father must have gardened and WOW he knows Latin…

I just hope that what I am going through at this job is just an isolated event. I know it’s not but I believe that those black people that treat others poorly should know better. They seem to always remember the shit that happened to their people. They don’t let it go, and in some cases they don’t learn. What about others and what they have go through?

Puerto Ricans have always had things taken away from them, land, and industry (but we role with it). We benefit from an alliance with America and I am grateful for it. But I have always seen that even with this benefit, as a child People thought that because I spoke Spanish that I must have been Mexican. When I was a child people didn’t know what a Puerto Rican was. People started to know who we were from shows like Sanford and Son (Poor Julio) and Hill Street Blues (we were the ones in handcuffs). But we don’t have it as bad as Mexicans. They can literally see the land that at one time was theirs, but are not given the chance to at least use that land to better their lives. HELL what about the Indian OUR GREAT AMERICAN INDIAN. We took better care for a BALD EAGEL then we have ever done for the Native INDIAN. WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT!!! (Understand that I know that some have been given the permission to have gambling facilities) But for the rest they are being poisoned by living circumstances overweight, diabetic, alcoholics, and smokers. NOT ALL INDIANS but there are Indians who can’t even practice their tradition with hunting whales with out a permit (but we will give anyone with a gun the right to slaughter the Yellowstone wolf). In my opinion there shouldn’t be one Indians that we are not protecting as we have done for our American Eagle (by the way I have always loved the bird would like to have a tattoo with it and the Puerto Rican flag, just in case you couldn’t tell that I was Puerto Rican), and doesn’t have the chance to a FREE EDUCATON. But truly we as a People whatever color religion sexual, preference, and whatever else you can think of should learn from our past and not impose suffering on someone else because of difference. Don’t dwell on what happened to you when you were growing up, or what happened such a long time ago. Blacks aren’t the only people who ever suffered and I’m living with my proof now. But that doesn’t make me believe that all blacks are out to get me. It just means that some people can’t put down that backpack full of rocks (slavery, segregation, profiling…).

 

Before I get all the hate mail, I love the US and I am part African, Irish, German, Native Indian, French, and Spanish and I truly Love myself every drop of my blood, my husband is African American my children are half & half with some Irish from his side and Indian. So please just think about all these words and what I’m saying I only want a little Random Act of Kindness in my day by my fellow humans and the chance to find a better job then this Godforsaken hell hole.

 

Mrs. Black (By the way a black co worker told me that just because I’m married to a black man, and have the last name black doesn’t mean that I deserve the last name of Black). I would have been upset but the woman smelled like unwashed CUNT everyday so I figured she had other problems…

A Friend of mine and I were talking today during lunch. I never knew that someone could be so closed minded regarding whites, and others. She only prefers blacks. When I asked her if she ever even tried to step out of the box and get familiar with whites she looked at me like if I were crazy. Her response was “in my country we only like blacks”.  I thought that was a very closed minded way of thinking.

As far as I am concerned I like, and enjoy whites better, but I have had some blacks that I found were just as good if not better (at least I tried).

 Isn’t funny how we reduce so many to just a color? White, Red, Black, Yellow, Green, Brown, Tan, and I’m sure there are many more that I can’t think of. Funny how someone that I have known for 5 years now tells me this out of the blue.

I told her that you have to try and work with the whites, (she obviously is clueless to how good some can be) because if you find a good batch that you like then all you have to do is get over the initial first impression they give (dirt on them, and maybe if they haven’t been washed then they smell). But just like blacks all they need is to be cleaned of their filth. If that doesn’t get the results you are looking for then by all means use some tomato sauce (anything that neutralizes skunk smell must be good). Then if you can get them into a container and put some heat to them (but slow heat), you don’t want them to burn (they don’t like that). Then after a while you are left with a relaxed not so tough group. My mom had the tendency to want to beat her whites, but she did that to her blacks as well. She would say treat them all equal but when company comes around you know who to bring out of the cellar (that’s where we kept all of ours). Anyhow, if you want to have a great dinner; I would show how diverse I was and would use all colors, and with a side of rice and steak you knew you were eating a good batch of beans.

Remember where you read this. I predict that we shall all know that Aliens are real and that the government has had knowledge of them for ever (proof that Aliens have existed for centuries).

I think that the bible, and the Mayan calendars and other script that speak of Dooms Day and Armageddon is more about the end of a civilisation, where we are the only ones who matter.

The Star Trek series will be a road map to how we handle new encounters (not a Trekkie or Trekker , however I’ve watched my fair share). 

I think it’s a time of awakening to all the possibilities of life, not only human but planet, alien, spiritual,  engineering, and energy.

The concern for me is how will people handle the new found knowledge. Will we attack everyone,ourselves our, family, neighbors, countries, our new found Beings? Or will take the time that we need to digest all that is before us and work on making things better for everyone?

I only hope is that whatever lies before us we have learned enough from ourselves, history, religion, hell even movies that we all have to compromise to make this life in this world and any other word to work and move forward in peace. If we don’t then the others may take that choice away from us entirely and give us a different type of awakening.

  What the heck is going on? I’m not big on conspiracy therories, but I truly believe that the government is about to come clean and tell us all that they have been in contact with ALIENS for years.  I’m not talking about the kind that make a real good Burrito or the kind that can make a helly classic French crepes. I mean the CLOVER FIELD (http://www.cloverfieldmovie.com/ )  kind!!! (That was the last spooky movie I saw). I mean… ok, forever people have been seeing things in the sky. We have stone carvings of ancient Egyptians hieroglyphs depicting little men (or chicks) with BIG BLACK EYES and space ships. But no one has ever said “yes we know that they exist and we would like to introduce you to them”.

  By the way I haven’t had any real sugar in a while and a friend of mine just gave me this Snicker’s bar Ice ream sandwich and I think that it has totally gone to my head and that’s saying something because sugar never effects me that much…

Anyway what if the GOVERNMENT does admit it. Even if you thought that they were real, because you saw some strange light when you went camping once (and no one believed you), you would have to be surprised. HOLY SHIT! How many of us will scream the I TOLD YOU SO SONG?

Well; if they do exists I hope that we show them the random act of kindness that we don’t give our own beings here on earth. I hope that we treat them with respect and compassion. I hope that when we interact with them that our first instinct is not to try and put them in a class like we do here. White, Black, Latino, Asian, European…, Majority, Minority, Majority/minority,  First class, Middle class, Low class, No class, Master, Slave, Animal, pet, strange, mean, ugly, undocumented, and or uneducated.   

Don’t do this

I mean come on if they got here and have been commuting back and forth from their planet to ours, I think that they may have a few more destructive toys then we do. Not to mention if they have the same kind of anger that I have for the Mayor of Detroit the ASSHOLE!!! Then we’re fucked!

 

P.S. If they have been commuting back and forth for centuries maybe we can place the blame on them for the OZONE Layer being busted, just kidding.  This is the kind of blaming I hope we avoid.

But maybe they will work cheap and for no security and fix it for us, since none of us seem to want to get together and fix it….

 

Sorry

It’s the sugar talking.

Mrs. Black

 

 

 

If you haven’t read my blog on the mayor then you missed out. But never fear it’s listed below.

As you can probably tell I have some major issues when it comes to the scandal that the mayor of Detroit asshole and his whore are involved in. Well what bothers me at this point is how knowing that they have engaged in perjury that they are allowed to raise money for their defense. It is against the law to perjure yourself, right? Then why in the blazing blue fuck are we allowing these two Smegma sacks to go out and raise money??? I can’t stand these two.  

 Show our Earth a little Random Act of Kindness. From this day on if you see litter on the ground outside pick it up. Try to pick up three pieces of trash a day. It will make you feel better and I’m sure Mother Earth will be pleased.

 Mrs. Black

 

I have been a little sick for the past few days and I had lost my voice yesterday. So this morning I wake up turn off the alarm and go downstairs, where I hear that my husband is in the shower (every morning we take showers together). So it should be no surprise that I would be coming in to the bathroom.

 

I knocked first (because he could be using the restroom for other reasons) and I began to ask him if he would like me to wake the kids for school or if he wanted me to wait. Well as I said, I had lost my voice yesterday and this morning my voice was really deep and crackly. I saw my husband’s image through the shower curtain and saw that he was fiercely grabbing at things in the shower. I repeated “do you want me to wake the kids?” as fast as ever he draws the curtain back with a Gillette Fusion Razor (http://www.gillettefusion.com/us/custom/en%5FUS/)  and a shaving mirror in hand.

 

His eyes looked wild as I stood there in the doorway with only my panties on a meek smile on my face. He looks at me like what the hell!!!

 

Then he begins to tell me that he thought I was some BIG BLACK GUY that had broken into the house. He said that my voice sounded just like the Michael Clarke Duncan (the guy from the Green Mile). So he knew that when he heard me come in a say something that sounded like “hey the door was open so I thought I would come in”…  He knew right then, that there was no escape scenario, so he was going to have to fight and all he could find was the Gillette Fusion Razor and a shaving mirror.

 

To say that I laughed at him is an understatement; I was impressed that I had my husband think that I was a 6′ 5″ tall Black man who weighs 285 pounds had me gasping for air. By the way I’m 5′3″short, pale Latina, medium build, and long flowing light brown hair. I can see how he was mistaken.

 

I hope this gave you at least a smile.

If not then this might. Tonight when my husband and I go to bed I’m printing off a picture of Michael Clarke Duncan’s face and making a mask to wear to bed. My husband is going to hate me tonight but this is all well worth it to see his reaction. 

 

I think that this would be considered a RAK if it was funny to you.   Pass it on!!!

 

Mrs. Black

 

P.S. I do support watching movie with Michael Clarke Duncan, and using the Gillette Fusion Razor. It keeps legs smooth and my husband uses it for hand to hand combat of home invaders and stay smooth through the whole thing.

Today I can say has not been the best day for me. My sister decided that today would be a great time to try to punish me for helping her son; I paid for him to go back to school. Now I’m not saying that I am loaded but the Goddess provided me with the right amount of money to be able to give him a helping hand. Unfortunately my sister is a very bitter woman. She tends to be upset over things that she can not control. So she tries to make others feel bad about themselves. She’s an accomplished woman, however she wants what others have, to the point that she makes herself miserable.

This would have normally had me crying and upset for days. But fortunately I have had a great awakening since I have become more in tune with myself. I didn’t have the time to fully dedicate to meditation, but I did give myself the chance to breathe and try to focus on how I wanted to feel on a Friday afternoon. Who wants to be upset and angry before the weekend even starts? Well not I.

 

So if you are having a bad day or afternoon, please make sure you take time to breathe deep and focus on how you want to feel. Do not let energy vampires rob you of a great Friday night and a fantastic weekend.
