New Jersey is hosting the big super bowl game tomorrow and it is only proper to invite New Jersey’s governor to be in the midst of the festivities but….he was BOOED when he was introduced in Times Square.

The once-immensely popular Christie, has lost his glow to scandal, as he sat stone-faced and was razzed in Times Square for a typically upbeat Super Bowl event.

“You made it across the bridge?” howled one heckler as the problem-plagued Christie — in a navy Windbreaker and black scarf — sat impassively on the stage at Broadway and W. 43rd St.

One day after allegations that a lying Chris Christie knew about the Bridgegate scandal as it happened, the governor sat uncomfortably in the spotlight on the eve of the Super Bowl.

Poor thing!

White Woman Mad that Black Woman Joined Her Yoga Class

Jen Caron, a self-described “skinny white girl,” enjoys yoga. Or at least she did—until a large black woman joined her yoga class.

A few weeks ago, as I settled into an exceptionally crowded midday class, a young, fairly heavy black woman put her mat down directly behind mine. It appeared she had never set foot in a yoga studio—she was glancing around anxiously, adjusting her clothes, looking wide-eyed and nervous. Within the first few minutes of gentle warm-up stretches, I saw the fear in her eyes snowball, turning into panic and then despair. Before we made it into our first downward dog, she had crouched down on her elbows and knees, head lowered close to the ground, trapped and vulnerable. She stayed there, staring, for the rest of the class.

Over the course of the next hour, I watched as her despair turned into resentment and then contempt. I felt it all directed toward me and my body.

Imagine: there you are, in yoga class, when all of a sudden, directly behind you, you sense a fairly heavy black woman who you can feel directing resentment directly at your body. Reality—or nightmare?

I say if you were focusing on your yoga class and not the large black woman behind you, it wouldn’t have mattered.

Epic Fail cause HIV is alive and well… Tonight on Conversations Of A Sistah!

On November 7, 1991 basketball legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson stunned the world by announcing his sudden retirement from the Los Angeles Lakers, after testing positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

At the time, many Americans viewed AIDS as a gay white man’s disease. Until Magic, who is African American and heterosexual, was one of the first sports stars to go public about his HIV-positive status.

Fast forward to today 2014, Johnson is a prominent spokesman for AIDS awareness and a successful businessman, earning millions from a range of ventures, including movie theaters and restaurants. He serves as an example of how a variety of drug treatments have transformed AIDS from a death sentence into a manageable condition for many people in the U.S.

Therefore, some individuals who are sexually active have become relaxed with the reality of this disease, believing they are exempted from contracting it because of modern day treatments and advancements but they could be no further from the truth.

Still, some 25 years after the first AIDS cases were reported, 25 million people worldwide have died of AIDS and another 40 million have been infected with the virus.

Still so many people don’t mind engaging in unprotected sex, they are willing to risk taking a walk on the wild side with their lives and their health for a mere 15 minutes of pleasure. Some people don’t even believe that AIDS or HIV still exists.

Tune in tonight at 8:00 P.M. to “Conversations Of A Sistah” on “Conversations Live” as we discuss how it’s an “Epic fail, if you don’t believe HIV is still alive and well“

Politics, President Obama, State of the union

Pres. Obama is in the “fuck it” stage of his presidency!

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Did you watch President Obama’s state of the union address last night? I was back and forth with it between “the have’s and the have not’s”.

Word was already OUT and all in the media how President Barack Obama said “he was going to start overriding congress on executive orders to get the sagging economy moving”. Obama is tired of being disrespected and tired of talking to these cry baby ass republicans, so now he’s warned them all publicly that; he’s got a pen and telephone and will start moving things along without them.

The president is tired of negotiating and trying to be fair while the republican’s and congress hold the American people hostage because of their own hatred, prejudices and political agenda’s.

Besides, it’s not as if congress listens to the President’s demands he lays out during the State of the Union address anyway. Last year, only two of his requests were fulfilled by the least productive congress in history, pushing Obama to enact more executive orders without congress’ approval.

Enough is enough!

Now his attitude is “fuck it” I’m the president, it’s time to make shit happen on my own!

GOP Haters going after Michelle Obama

No I don’t want to talk about the Grammy’s which aired last night because I didn’t watch! Some of the young artist of today lack talent, class and a sense of decorum and I’d rather not waste my time.

I do however; want to address the Facebook page that was created for the sole purpose of rejecting Subways partnership with Michelle Obama. The image above was listed on their page and is an indication of the racist intent to insult the first lady behind the guise of their gripe.

The creator or creators of this page have twisted the message and the meaning as dictatorship and a deplorable way of insulting the first lady’s efforts. Yet obesity has been cited as a contributing factor to approximately 100,000–400,000 deaths in the United States each year.

With high blood pressure, diabetes and other weight and health related diseases on the rise, how can Michelle Obama’s initiative be so misconstrued?

The bigotry of these individuals are bold  and their ignorance heralds the sadness of their misguided reasoning to reject the positive results of the first lady’s initiative’s in the first place.

How sad!!
