hate_homophobia_wog_cos_jan_2017-2We’re back!!! And tonight’s “Conversation” is going to be hot !!!

As we discuss how more than 1 million people watched Kim Burrell rail against “that perverted homosexual spirit” in a controversial sermon clip that led to the gospel singer getting pulled from a performance on “Ellen” and facing ongoing backlash from LGBT advocates.

She had been named a co-honoree at BMI Trailblazers of Gospel Music Awards, but the organization uninvited her due to the recent remarks. Also, her radio show — airing out of Texas Southern University — has been canceled.

Burrell’s two-minute clip of her message, filmed on a phone and posted on YouTube, shows Burrell describing sex acts and saying, “The spirit of delusion and confusion, it has deceived many men and women, and it’s caused a stain on the body of Christ.”

Her critics said her message was hate, other media outlets called it a homophobic rant, while believers state it’s the Word of God.

What do you say?

Join me tonight at 6:30 p.m. EST on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via blog talk radio as I discuss “Hate, Homophobia or the Word of God?” with three (3) dynamic ministers; Rev. Caffie Risher, Minister Tuala Williams-Shields and Pastor Josh Olivero.

“Depression and the holiday season” tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

holiday-depressionThe holidays are supposed to be a time of joy and celebration, but for some people they are anything but….Because we all deal with different issues this holiday season, it is not always a joyous occasion. We all have different burdens that we may bare and the holiday season can unleash every ounce of one’s dysfunction.

Some people are dealing with sadness and the stress of spending time in a dysfunctional environment, being with a loved one or just dealing with loneliness.

Sadness and depression is real, and if your feelings of sadness during the holidays are accompanied by suicidal thoughts, do one of the following immediately:

  • Call 911.
  • Go immediately to a hospital emergency room.
  • Contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255).

In the meantime, tune in LIVE at 6:30 p.m. EST on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via blog talk radio for my monologue on this topic of discussion and how to deal with such despair.

Immigrants, Racism and Pandemonium!! Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

cwyumnbveaaui_aDonald Trump’s election as US President is showing signs of and producing an outpouring of race and hate in America, which mirrors and reflect the language he’s spoken in the past 18 months.

Trump supporters are expressing their hatred in live time, twitter and on social media outlets, telling immigrants they think are illegals to “pack your bags” and “get the fuck out.”

And because Donald Trump has failed to denounce the Ku Klux Klan in late February, he claims to be “the least racist person you have ever met,” and “not having a racist bone in his body.” Despite his denouncement he’s given us alot of reason to believe otherwise. Especially since he’s won the praise of this country’s strongest white supremacist.

Since the Trump win, hate crimes, harassment and killings have been at an all-time high. Immigrants across the country and throughout different states, are scared to death of being targeted or deported.

This in the wake of an Ohio State University student who carried out a knife attack on campus Monday who said in a Facebook post how he was “sick and tired” of seeing fellow Muslims “killed and tortured,” according to federal law enforcement officials.

Americans fear the actions of this one man, who’s been elected to the highest office in the land. And since his win as the next US president, there’s been nothing but hatred, race relation matters and pandemonium.

Tune in tonight at 6:30 p.m. EST on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via blog talk radio for my monologue on this topic.

I will be taking your calls in the studio on this subject at 1-917-889-7872, just press “1” to speak to the host.

“Racism and this 2016 Election” Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

untitledFears of heightened bigotry and hate crimes have turned into reality for some Americans after Donald Trump’s presidential win on Tuesday November 8th. And the list of incidents keeps growing.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, they’ve counted more than 300 cases of hateful harassment or intimidation in the U.S. since Election Day. “They’ve been everywhere — in schools, in places of business, in stores like Walmart and on the street,” SPLC President Richard Cohen said Monday.

While Trump has been accused of fostering xenophobia, hate, racism and Islamophobia, some people have used his words as justification to carry out hateful crimes. In recent days we have witnessed ugly episodes of racist or anti-Semitic pro-Trump graffiti along with threats or attacks against Muslims.

Post Election Conversations, tonight, on “Conversations Of A Sistah” as Donald Trump elected 45th President of the U.S.

The ReadyWriter

president-elect-donald-trump-550x285A new day has dawned in America as Donald Trump, a non-politician, billionaire and real estate developer, was elected 45th president of these United States of America in a shocking upset and victory over former Secretary of State, Hilary Rodham Clinton.

Despite all of the star power that endorsed on Clinton’s behalf, Trump still won in major key states such as; Florida, Ohio, PA, Texas, Oklahoma and Georgia.

And although President Obama called Trump to congratulate him on his victory early this morning, Donald Trump has already promised to begin his term in office by gutting the executive orders that the Obama administration put in place. Obama’s legacy will be erased and repealed with a stroke of Trump’s pen on his first day in office.

Trump’s win sends a stark message to President Obama, that voters were unhappy with his presidency and the policies put in place.

Tune into “Conversations Of A Sistah” on Blog Talk Radio at 6:30 p.m. EST as we discuss “Post Election Conversations” with Dr. Malik Shabazz. Yes Family, this is his make-up session from last weeks show.
