Coffee mood

Posted by jadelung in Untagged

Once there was a kind of memory and rely on to coffee, saw it hanging back now. Seek sweet taste in that kind is bitter, once such one makes me aroused in interest and yearning, .
Such coffee, such taste, but there are no once such mood and hobby.
Life of people like coffee, have sweet in being bitter, have bitter in being sweet too; Just every experience people of it, have different mental state and realize.
Though remain unchanged in the flourishing city, already there is no original zeal in the heart; In quiet a midnight, in the space of one, let one's own mind and emotion, with faint breath that floats far of coffee in the cup, disappear in the air too; Just like once young and romance, without a trace.
One a bit sentimental, generation such as wound, tired emotion but lonely woman, find oneself wave space that rush down freely finally in prosperity for midnight, why not say it is that one kind celebrates Xinghe to reap too?
People's life will have much rise and fall, as to a woman, taste the mental state of coffee, sample one's own life.

It Tickles Me...

It tickles me how some people will find their way to a site that is geared toward Black people (even a site with an Afrocentric name) and whine about Black bloggers; throwing a tantrum over a Black blogger evaluating our condition in America as it relates to racism or the hypocrisies of the larger White society. Their views are better expressed (and more welcomed) over at stormfront and other White supremacist sites. Anyone who pretends White racism has become a non-issue in the lives of anyone (even Whites) is a bit pathological. You can't take him/her too seriously although the presence of these types of personalities are frequent in appearance on Black-oriented sites. Go figure.

Anyway, in light of the fact that these individuals are not wrapped all that tight, this will be the only post I will do that addresses their blogging behavior. Most often, their type of 'don't discuss whites or you are the problem' behavior is only meant to draw Black people into a blog fight with each other as the attention is taken off White racism/White Supremacy. So, with that said, that blogger is welcome to carry on his 'mission' without any further mention (directly or indirectly) in my blog. And I'll carry on with mine. Every other post in my blog will be my views of White racism and the White hypocrisy it produces. I'll blog about it whenever I have the time.

White media, including nearly every internet blogging site and message board, has Whites examining "black" behavior as though

AFRICAN AMERICAN POLITICAL AND CULTURAL BLOGGERS ARE THE WORST.

Posted by enochhasrisen in Untagged

Travel along the Internet matrix of black political and cultural blog spots and you will quickly find yourself engulfed with the plantation mindset of political writings presented to African Americans by black political and cultural bloggers traveling on the chitterlings circuit.

Plantation politics practiced by political black bloggers on the chitterlings circuit require that the white commentator is the last and definitive authoritative word on black Americans. The white commentator has the only commentary worthy of an article, mention or recognition by African American political and cultural bloggers.

Black political bloggers are the worst because they consistently demonstrate that the white man's commentary is superior to anything you have to say. Black political bloggers only write and post to African Americans about slavery, crime, racism, civil rights or what white America did or said to or about African Americans.

The same black bloggers in turn disregard, disrespect, talk down and treat you as if you are a Tuskegee experiment. Black political bloggers give themselves black blogger awards for depressing African Americans unto hopelessness, worthlessness and suicidal thoughts.

Black political and cultural bloggers are the main and central reason African Americans can't evolve intellectually, morally or spiritually.

When blog after blog after blog from every black political or cultural blogger is about civil injustice, discrimination, war, hunger, disease, racism, poverty,
