A Journey Into The Mind of a Black Woman Is Published!!!

You've all waiting a long time...had to go through a lot of edits before I finalized the much anticipated book that I've discussed.  It was a journey to complete it, but it is now available and you can purchase the book today at:  https://www.createspace.com/3739335 . It is also available on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1468025228/sr=1-1/qid=1326291395/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1326291395&sr=1-1&seller=#_

This book was birthed through observation of Black men and how I, as a Black woman, interpreted their behavior over a period of time.  One day I just realized how often I'd see Black males and the one thing lacking in their demeanor was joy.  They were not happy.  And the negativity that surrounds many young Black men is not only having a devastating impact on them as a group; it's beginning to be felt in many levels of Black culture.  Do Black men know who they are and where their ancestors came from?  Do they know their history as men from a global perspective.  We've lost almost 2 generations of young Black men.  Gone too soon...and never realizing their potential.  It's a travesty.  This must stop.

A Journey Into The Mind of a Black Woman is the book that speaks with absolute realness, soul and discerment of what I, A Black woman, feels is the crux of the Black male dilemma.

For Every Black Woman That Has Cried Over A Black Man...

The Message

One day, I sat at my windowsill, peering out of my window. Every Black man that I saw passing by…seemed to have a serious look on his face—no smile. I wondered why. Each and every day afterwards; I saw the same. The Black men that I saw with their girlfriends or wives, seemed to be somber and disinterested; as if they wanted to be in another place but where they were.
Where was the love?

I thought about the one true love of my life who forced me to walk away. His name was Craig. I was young when I met him. He was fine. Every time my eyes gazed on his strong masculine frame, my heart would literally begin to race. I thought I would pass out sometimes. Craig was everything to me—the thought of him could make me smile at any moment. When I woke up in the mornings—I thought of Craig. When the moon lit the sky, and my eyes drifted into sleep; my subconscious summoned dreams of the man—the “one man” who I believed would make me his wife. But I woke up from that dream. And I soon was forced to take off the rose-colored glasses; for the man of my dreams, was really a wolf in disguise. And if I didn’t walk away, I would be devoured.

I chose my life.

It was not to be.

So many women stay in relationships with men that they should have left alone.
It was not that I didn’t love Craig; I just loved myself more.

He was the one. I know this, but the tragedy of my loss is that I had to face the fact that Craig would have caused too much pain in my life. He had issues and people with issues hurt people.

How many sistahs have had to walk away from a man they loved because he had issues? How many stayed and lost their lives? I wondered this, along with many other things while writing my book: A Journey Into The Mind of a Black Woman: In Search of Black Men Who Live With Purpose.

For every Black woman that ever cried over a Black man or the ones who wondered what was going on with their man, I confronted the very issues that many try to express, but sometimes, just can’t find the words.

The most powerful thing a man can do is to read. Knowledge is power.

Brothers who love their women, will devour this message.

It is a page-turner. People will be talking about this book.

*Get your copy while supplies are available. There has been high demand for this book upon review. It is already being compared to such classics as, The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Makes Me Wanna Holler by Nate McCall, and such urban classics as The Coldest Winter Ever by Sistah Souljah.

This is the best present a Black woman can give to the man she loves. It is the best gift to receive for the Black man who loves himself.

Merry Christmas!!!

10 Rules For White Women Who Date or Marry Black Men!

‎10 Rules For White Women Who Date or Marry Black Men:

1.) Do Not ever approach a Black woman you don't know with a Bad attitude or racist behavior!

2.) It is an oxymoron for a racist to be in a relationship with someone they were raised to despise, as well as expect white privilege in the process.

3.) Do Not assum Black women are jealous of white women--many Black woman just aren't impressed.

4.) If you have children with a Black man--learn to do your children't hair.

5.) Yes! Black women are tough and will kick your ass if you make the mistake of disrespect her!

6.) The dislike and distrust Black women have for white women is based on the historical image of white women, as well as personal interaction.

7.) Just because a white woman is with a Black man; this does not make them an authority on issues that impact the Black community.

8.) If White Women Know so much about Black men and arrogantly now feel they have the temerity to tell Black women how to keep one; my suggestion is for them to declare themselves as Black and change their racial classification. *sarcasm*

9.) The Black community does not approve of interracial unions; Black love should be the highest choice above all others.

10.) Black is beautiful and does not need a face lift or Botox.

***This is given in response to the level of self-hatred that projects itself falsly as Black pride these days.

My Life...

When I started this blog, honestly, I just wanted to vent.  But over the year that I've been writing this blog; it just hit me that my words are being read by millions of people around the world.

I've been think lately that I want to take the blog in another direction. 

Words have power and I don't want to misuse them.  Everything I say comes from my soul and from truth.  It is not my intention to deceive, defame or mislead anyone about anything.  What matters to me is obvious from the first blog entry and I am not afraid to defend my views.

However, I'm in process of getting my first book published and distributed and I'd like to take things to the next level.

The direction of the blog will probably change, but not the content.

I'll still keep it real, but I will be publishing entries that reflect my softer side as well.

Stay tuned...



Loss of An Old Friend...



As I get older, I think of my old friends more.  The memories I have of them are pleasant--playing, learning and growing up--trying to figure out what life is about all the while.

Today, I got some bad news about an old friend.  His name was Darrin Hannah.  Darrin and I were kids from the same community.  We went to the same school and I saw him just about every single day.  As we became adults, of course, people that you knew follow their own path as you follow yours.  I'd see Darrin on and off; each time, he was in some type of transition.  I discerned that he was just trying to find his way.  As we all are.

When I moved to Georgia in 2004, the last time I had even remembered seeing Darrin was around 2000 or so. 

Well, today, I learned from some old friends that Darrin was beaten to death by police.  http://newssun.suntimes.com/news/8854737-418/autopsy-today-on-north-chicago-man-subdued-by-cops.html#.TsPHeZ94fYR.facebook

It shocked me to the core. 

For several weeks before this, he had been on my mind. 

All I can say to the family is that I will pray for them.

Darrin marks death number 6 in recent months of persons from my old community passing away from unusual or tragic circumstances.

Each and every day that I wake up, I give thanks to God and pray for my loved ones and friends. 

It was just his time, but I have to admit, that perhaps, when I was thinking about him weeks ago; maybe God was trying to get my attention, for he knows all things...Darrin didn't have much time.

Thanksgiving is next week.  And yet again, we must remember that there will be those who won't be amongst their family any longer.

Say a prayer for someone...each and every day.  It could save a life.

An Open Letter to Ms. Carolyn Battle Cochrane...

"I'm fat...and I can't stop eating, Damnit!"

Refresher: http://www.thedefendersonline.com/2009/10/02/identity-wars-i%E2%80%99m-biracial-%E2%80%A6-not-confused-damn-it/

Dear Ms. I'm Biracial, Not Black Damnit!,

You don't know me...

It's been a couple of years and while I'm completing the editing of my upcoming book, A Journey Into The Mind of a Black Woman, I thought I'd pen this open letter to find out how your journey has been.
I see that you have a facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/people/Carolyn-Battle-Cochrane/1062824419 .  Don't worry, I most certainly haven't friended you. Honestly, I don't think you even like yourself, much less have room for those with strong identities like myself.

Wow! I'm talking to the one and only woman to raise a flag of her offense of (not being confused for a white woman). Oh, the indignation of you being considered Black--African American. It must have really shook you up. Imagine...the insult of being considered one of us or is that half of who you are? I'm confused. *shrug* Any hoot. I sincerely hope there was no severe psychological damage in being mistaken for a Negro.

Yeah, that's how Black folks understood it.

The mess you started was over what? Your own insecurity, bigotry, or self-hate?

Honey, most African Americans look at biracials as a group of folks who are weak in the head and prone to behaviors that are just downright imbalanced and disturbing. And that picture on facebook you have of yourself; shows someone who is not confident and perhaps has identity issues, as well as with a bout of internal anger.  You also need to lose some weight.

Let me just get to the point: You want to be white and can't or won't be accepted for a white girl.  That's your issue.

All of this ranting and raving that you have done; creating a forum for those like yourself, who basically, are just symbols of your parents intra-bigotry against people that look like themselves. Did your Black daddy have an issue with Black women, shugah? What, did the Black girl of his dream turn him down for the prom when he was in high school? What?  Or did he leave your white mother, forcing her to live as the underprivileged--given the shame associated with a biracial child? 

I'm listening to Donny Hathaway right now. Ever heard of him?

Do you know anything about Soul, Carolyn?

Well, I really just wanted to let you know that Black people are doing just fine and we aren't sad that you don't consider yourself one of us.

Many Black mothers said, "Phew...thank God, she's not my fault."

Tiger Woods, Halle Berry, Mariah Carey and a few more notable Zebras, truly are more of an embarrassment in the opinion of many in the African American community, and are the living symbols of why I made the decision of not having anything to do with whites. Why? Because it is ridiculous to convince me that having a relationship with someone that comes from the group that oppressed your people is something to be proud of.

Every day that I wake up,  I just feel fabulous and I thank the most High God for making me a Black woman. 

That's something you will never be able to understand.

Live you life, dear. Do what you do.

And Good Riddance.

Black folks will not miss you.



Sincerely,



Truthangel

J. Edgar Hoover Was really BLACK!

During the course of writing my book, while doing some research on Huey P. Newton, the late founder of the Black Panthers,  I discovered coincidentally, that the late FBI Director, J. Edgar Hoover was really a mulatto whose family had passed for white. Click on the title for story link.

This was news that surprised even me, given his well known pathological hatred of Blacks.  I guess now it makes sense: Blacks reminded him of the one thing that he hated most: HIMSELF.

Hoover was one of the most virulent racists to ever hold a top government position.  Hoover was known for targeting Black nationalists, civil rights activists, newspaper publishers and entertainers.  Cointelpro was a counterintelligence program specifically designed to dismantle, disrupt and destroy all Black nationalist groups.  Its purpose solely was to prevent a coalition of various groups as well as to keep Black people from being organized as a political force.  The Black Panthers were infiltrated by Cointelpro agents which subsequently led to their destruction.

J. Edgar Hoover was one of the most powerful men that ever held a position in Washington and I find it quite sickening that if this information is true; his self-negation, literally was such; he was trying to destroy his own people.

This is why I am impassioned to confront racism and the subliminal actions, as well as those that are overt, in the mission of trying to destroy Black people.

Racism is not a myth.

This information must be exposed for the world.

Knowledge is power.  Information is critical.

Everything you think you know...is not always THE TRUTH.
