It's been a long time since I updated, well I do have LJ so I guess that's why I'm never here.

Election

I am saying this here because if I said this somewhere else, I'd be unfriended SO fast...If Ron Brown were alive and if he were the DNC chair, I think he would have told Barak Obama not to run this time. He would have said Obama doesn't have the experience and was too young. Plus America has not had the conversation it needs to have about race, right now it's the pink elephant in the living room everybody dances around.

Right now they're saying white women are going to McCain because of Palin. I can feel the tension in the air, on the elevator, on the shuttle. Many black people don't like whites as it is, but this is making it worse. I don't think McCain will be a worse president than Bush, no one can be, but I do fear what might happen to the fragile racial relations in the USA.

My feeling has always been that no foreign power will destory America, she will eat herself.

Too loud?

Yesterday, a woman who rides the work shuttle I take, told me that my voice was loud when I talk on the cell phone to my mom. The fact I didn't punch her out shows that I have evolved if not a bit. But then I wondered if it was racially motitivated, was she trying to tell me what to do because I'm a black woman.

Or maybe I'm just too loud.

This is my first post here. Don't know what else to say. I'm from NYC where I've lived all of my 48 years and I'm on live journal, myspace and facebook, so too much free time on my hands, I know.
