It's a man's world, Let's Remember

SO. I am a strong advocate for liberation for all oppressed people, including the category that I fall in: black women. I took a few undergraduate courses that focused on Women's studies and various social issues many deal with on a daily basis. One thing that always got me was the origin of all this hate. I mean where do we get these ideas that some groups are unworthy of respect and inclusion in this hectic society?
Well.. I came across a startling article from following my dear @_TheIlluminati on Twitter.. Man o Man. This was one that pushed me over the edge; primarily because it states the facts. Anywho, the moral of the story is Black Feminisim was designed by the CIA to destroy black families. Yes. the CIA to destroy black families. But is it really that hard to believe? I mean the Prison Industrial Complex is used as a tool to maintain highly populated prisons for the benefit of private corporations and our dear Big Brother.
Take a look at this article and spread the word...
I conclude by asking black women to be the leaders of reclaiming the inner love and beauty of black families, with this security; we can ensure the solidification of the institution of the black family today.
Black women let's unite and start loving our black men.... Flaws and all. BUT let's not forget the role of a man in a woman's life, if he isn't fulfilling his duties he can step. But we have got to do better and giving love and chance and put a pause to the male bashing..
Apparently, the CIA's plan to destroy black families is working... Let's change that!

CIA used Black Feminism to destroy black families

What follows is a fact sheet about Gloria Steinem’s operations against the various social and political movements in America, particularly her role in creating a hateful and virulent strain of Black feminism that attacks Black men while partnering with the white establishment.

Gloria Steinem first came across the radar of Black men in 1978 when Steinem put a book called “Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman” on the cover of Ms. Magazine, the magazine which she controlled. The book was “written” by a Black “feminist” and “activist” named Micele Wallace who came out of nowhere. Wallace was in her early twenties at the time, yet she was being touted as the “leader” of Black feminism. In the book, Wallace called abolitionists like Harriet Tubman and Sojouner Truth “ugly” and “stupid” for supporting Black men. She called Black Revolutionaries “chauvinist macho pigs” and advised Black women to “go it alone.” Gloria Steinem said that Wallace’s book would “define the future of Black relationships” and she pushed hard to make sure the book received massive publicity. Gloria Steinem’s work triggered a flood of “Hate Black Men” books and films that continues to this day. Needless to say, some were quite suspicious of Ms. Magazine and Gloria Steinem. Why was Steinem sticking her nose into the affairs of the Black community? So people started doing some research on Steinem. When it came out that Gloria Steinem was probably the ghost writer of the book with Michele Wallace’s name on it, Wallace had a nervous breakdown and went into hiding for two years. However, the damage was already done and the “Hate Black Men” movement was off and running. But the research into Gloria Steinem’s background continued. What follows is the findings of many different researchers.

Post-Grad

I graduated college, now what?!

As a recipient of my B.A. in Communications from The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, I am a proud alumnae and college graduate.. now what?! Students are often led to believe that one's dream job awaits you immediately following graduation but, this is not the case. In fact, students should realize that the ball is in your court now! A degree certifies your dedication to furthering one's education and creating a new pathway for self. However, what one decides to do with his or her degree is where the challenge arises.

After a long, vigorous search into the current job market, I learned that those "dream jobs" do exist, but are hidden. It calls for now what you know; but who you know. In this tough economy, one must realize that earning a degree is only the beginning. Depending on your area of study, one will have to create their own pathway, how so?

1. Set long-term goals for yourself.
With these targeted goals, you will be able to map out what steps need to be taken in order to reach these goals.
2. Consider post-graudate work.
If you feel that you may lack in an area that will be beneficial towards your long-term goals; consider graduate work in that field. It can only enhance your professional career.
3. Stay active!
Continue to exercise the skills acquired during undergraduate coursework such as volunteering, engaging in service organizations, and other field related activities
4. Be optomistic!
The only person standing in the way of your dreams is you! Know that the sky is the limit and the world is yours. With a positive attitude comes positive results.

Be an awesome gra.... pave our own way!
