Mid-term Election

Florida Stand Up – Andrew Gillum is in the Lead !!!!!!!!!


It was a star studded event last night as P. Diddy aka Sean Combs, had DJ Khaled, Fat Joe, R&B singer Monica and comedian Tiffany Haddish perform at a midnight “Bring Home Rally” for Florida gubernatorial incumbent Andrew Gillium.

The stars, who announced their support forĀ Florida’s Democrat candidate for governor on Saturday, were cheered wildly at his Bring It Home Midnight Rally at Florida A&M University in Tallahassee.

Sean Combs, said he supports Gillum ‘because he’s the best man for the job’ not just because he is black.

It came asĀ Democrats hoping to score top-tier victories in Florida opened up slight leads in the state Monday, even after President Trump’s focus on the state and a pair of visits in the final days of the campaign.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs brings on stage Florida Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate for Governor and Mayor of Tallahassee Andrew Gillum and his wife. Election Day is today – Rock ya Vote!!!

Don Lemon Not Backing Down from Comments Calling White Men ā€˜Biggest Terror Threat’


Don Lemon is not backing down from his comments calling white men America’s ā€œbiggest terror threatā€. Lemon made the comments during a CNN segment on Monday.

Lemon said, ā€œWe have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them.ā€

Lemon continued: ā€œThere is no travel ban on them. There is no ban on… you know, they had the Muslim ban. There is no ā€˜white guy ban.’ So what do we do about that?ā€

Ironically, Lemon, who is openly gay, dates a Caucasian man, Tim Malone (pictured right).

A CNN spokesman said CNN and Lemon would have no further comments on Lemon’s incendiary statements.

The Racial Divide & The Upcoming Midterm Election Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”


President Trump has undoubtedly sown racial division in this countryĀ by fueling anxiety over race with white supremacist who are putting action to his rhetoric. Trump is returning to the inflammatory playbook that helped lift him to victory nearly two years ago, waging a campaign of fear and racial division in an effort to save his party’s majorities in Congress.Ā With just six daysĀ left before the midterm elections, Trump is amplifying a dark vision of what the country could look like if Democrats gain control in Congress. At campaign rallies, on Twitter and in his public commentary, he has issued urgent – if groundless – warnings about terrorists at the border, a socialist takeover and rampant crime.

In the meantime, a white racist national walked into a Jewish synagogueĀ in Pittsburgh, PA and killed 12 people during worship.Ā The attack is believed to be the deadliest on the Jewish community in US history. Then over in Kentucky a white man entered a Kroger’s supermarket and shot and killed a black man and woman after trying to enter a predominantly black church nearby. These incidents were hate crimes!

Join us tonight at 6:30 p.m. EST on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via blog talk radio with Host Tracy L. Bell for her commentary on “The Racial Divide & The Upcoming 2018 Midterms

Meet 16-year-old Treasure, a Black girl who identifies as Caucasian


Treasure, a 16-year-old Black girl who identifies as Caucasian, was a guest on the Dr. Phil Show this week. The episode sparked outrage after Treasure said Black people were ā€œgrossā€ and ā€œuglyā€.

ā€œI’m white. I’m a Caucasian because everything about me is different from an African American,ā€ said Treasure in an episode of Dr. Phil that aired on Oct. 24.

Treasure’s mom, Monique, asked Dr. Phil for help because her daughter despises Black people. Monique says she doesn’t recall when Treasure began identifying as Caucasian, or why she expresses racist views towards Black people.

Treasure told Dr. Phil that she considers herself to be Caucasian because white people have no problems at all.

Monique said she is embarrassed whenever she and Treasure go out in public, and her daughter utters racist remarks about Black people.

Dr. Phil introduced Treasure and Monique to Spirit, a family therapist who can help Treasure unlearn her destructive thought process to help her accept who she is.

Spirit blamed Treasure’s low self-esteem for her self-hate and society’s pressure for teenagers to be perfect, particularly on social media.

ā€œWe have issues around culture, we have issues around class, we have issues around racial identity, and we have issues around self-esteem,ā€ Spirit said. ā€œIt’s not that she hates Black people; it’s that she hates herself, and she wants her old life back.ā€

When should the past, be the past? Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”


Don’t get me wrong the past should neither be forgotten nor accepted, it should be “a thing to be treasured and lessons to be learnt and then you MOVE ON.

Those who choose to simply forget the past miss out on its fullest potential, good, bad or indifferent. There are valuable lessons to be learned from it. And those who choose to ask the right questions about their past are most prepared to live life to the fullest in the present. Too many of us live our lives defined by the choices we made in the past. This shouldn’t be the case, especially since each new day presents a brand new opportunity to become a new person on a new road destined for a new future.

We must be mindful of the company we keep and the cultures we function in because they will either bring us inspiration or derail our progress. Derailed progress, stomps growth!! And when we have no direction, we tend to look back on the past.

So, when should the past be left in the past? And are there some things we should refuse to remember?

Join Host Tracy L. Bell at 6:30 p.m. EST on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via Blog Talk Radio as she explore this topic and explain when the past should remain the past and how the constant reliving of it can become toxic!!!!

We hope to meet you on the air!!!
