How the Media Influence Our Choices? On the Next “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

untitledWe have to admit the media has a lot of influence on our lives, especially the lives of our young people. They want to mimic the Rhianna’s, Nicky Minaj and Beyoncé’s of this world. They esteem these artist as having the acceptable standards of beauty based upon how they are received by society and the industries who market them.

And then there’s the media’s depiction of beauty and the influence it feeds to the images on television, social media and the internet. The messages are subliminal but the images are powerful. They want to influence how we look, how we feel, what we eat, how we spend our money and even how to invest our time on a daily basis. The repetition is deliberate and can warp one’s perspective of the truth.

Join me tonight for this discussion on “Conversations Of A Sistah” at 6:30 p.m. EST. on Blog Talk Radio. In the meantime, sound off here and I’ll see you on the air!

Blackout Monday 9-26-2016…

The ReadyWriter

tumblr_static_tumblr_static_dzlauu7thdwg8k840sowwskck_640Today is September 26 and it is a blackout day. It’s not a race thing. It’s a justice thing.

The call to action by the former Grays Anatomy actor Isaiah Washington came up with a powerful way to protest police brutality in this country is by urging black people to stay at home from work on today as part of a Black Lives Matter “boycott” work protest.

No School, No work, No shopping!

Of course the protest and show of solidarity has been met with criticism, since race relations and the issues with police brutality are as heated as ever, which is why such action should be taken as a tool to rally against America’s very broken system.

Isaiah Washington posted on his Facebook page:

Imagine if every single African American in the United States that was really fed up with being angry, sad and disgusted, would pick ONE DAY to simply ‘stay at home’ from every single job, work site, sports arena and government office in the United States of America. I’m very sure that within 72 hours from Wall Street to the NFL…Black Lives Would Matter. September 26, 2016 is THE DAY. #ItsTime #CanWeDoIt? #ACallToAction #StayAtHomeSeptember262016 #RIPTerenceCrutcher #HandsUpDontShoot #Missing24

So did you “BLACKOUT” today?

Another Black Man Killed in NC, yet President Obama is concerned about his Legacy?

The ReadyWriter

Police fatally shot a North Carolina man they claim was armed — but a woman who said she was his daughter cried out on Facebook Live that he didn’t have a gun, triggering riotous protests that stretched out into the streets of Charlotte during pre-dawn hours of the morning.

As always, Charlotte police said Keith Lamont, 43 posed as an imminent threat when they tried to serve him with a warrant and he exited his vehicle with a gun. Lamont’s daughter took to her Facebook page to recant the cops claims that her father was armed.

In the meantime nation of Islam leader, The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan chastised President Barack Obama for reprimanding black people about protecting his legacy.

Farakhan spoke with disdain in his voice about Obama’s self-serving speech at the Congressional Black Caucus gala, where Obama said his presidential “legacy” was in jeopardy if black people didn’t vote for Hillary Clinton.

“I just want to tell you, Mr. President, you’re from Chicago, and so am I,” said Minister Farrakhan during a service at Union Temple Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. on Sunday.

“I go out in the street with the people… I visited the worst neighborhoods… I talked to the gangs. They said, ‘you know, Farrakhan, the president ain’t never come… could you get him to come and look after us?’”

Farrakhan added:

“There’s your legacy, Mr. President… it’s in the streets with your suffering people, Mrs. President. And if you can’t go and see about them, then don’t worry about your legacy… ’cause the white people that you serve so well… they’ll preserve your legacy — the hell they will — but you didn’t earn your legacy with us!

“You didn’t earn your legacy with Black people. You fought for the rights of gay people… You fight for Israel… Your people are suffering and dying in the streets!”

Angelina Jolie Files for divorce from Brad Pitt

The ReadyWriter

brad-pitt-jennifer-aniston-550x402Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt after she caught him cheating with his sexy co-star, a well-placed source told The NY Post’s Page Six on Tuesday.

Social media is having a field day with Jennifer Aniston memes. If you recall, Angelina Jolie was the woman who came between her and Jennifer’s then-husband Brad Pitt.

Jolie and Pitt tied the knot in 2014 after 10 years together. But it’s over now.

Karma is a brew best served hot and sweet.

Another woman is the real reason behind the sensational breakup of what many considered Hollywood’s most solid marriage.

Pitt, 52, was rumored to be creeping with his co-star Marion Cotillard, 40, while filming the war drama “Allied” in London.

“She hired a private eye because she felt that he was fooling around with her on the set, and it turns out, he was,” said the source.

Angelina suspected he was cheating with his co-star because she knew how he cheated with her when she was his costar. It’s always the same story, how you get him is how you lose him.
