IS $3 MILLION WORTH A "DORITOS SLAP" IN THE FACE?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =mYyfbeRVM4E

I saw it on Good Morning America and was sooo shocked I didn't even recall WHAT the product was...I told a friend wrongly that it was McDs...People need to WAKE UP AND THINK.

If TV was not a powerful tool why did this ad cost $3 MILLION just to air on 1 night??????????????

Black Parents...what say U?

Is this the type of imagery U want for your young black men to emulate?  If so...keep on feeding them junk...watch your results.

What About Poverty? Why Should U Keep Signing Up to Be Your Brother/Sister's Keeper?


"Why should U even continue to sign up to be your brother or sister's keeper?" -An excerpt from the upcoming book "Cotton Pickin' Paycheck-A 21st Century Journal of Escape from Slavery" by Joan E. Gosier

"Why should U even continue to sign up to be your brother or sister's keeper?"

Please consider this demographic data:

Only 36% of African American babies are living in a family NOT LOW-INCOME. This compares with 76% of Asian babies and 70% of white babies who are NOT LOW-INCOME. So that means there are 1.2 million black babies, 1.25 million Asian babies and 9.0 million white babies who are age 0-5 according to recent poverty data who are NOT LIVING LOW-INCOME.

So food for thought, if poverty and lack of knowledge/exposure causes one to grow up in a certain way...over time that becomes a cycle of trauma/hopelessness. I suspect but do not know this factually but solely based on life experiences and my interaction with different types of people...this is how some black kids whose parents "did all the right things along the way" wind up still burying his/her child prematurely because they got caught up trying to fit in with some kids who deep down resented his/her positive outlook on life and future opportunity. Call it a drive by/club fight/random beat down on the playground.

Call it a kid who was tired of being singled out as a nerd, gifted and talented, "geek" who wanted to just belong with people who looked like him or her who they could call a friend. Just "out there" looking, searching and praying to find someone from a similar background and pedigree to marry and with whom to start a nice family. Just hoping to get "out there" and find that 1 in a million soul mate. 1.2 million black children 0-5 years old are NOT LOW INCOME while 2.2 million childen 0-5 years old are LOW INCOME. Do the math. We have got to be our brothers and sisters keeper and stop sticking our heads in the sand that it is NOT our babies, our neighborhoods or are problems. Now that is my BIASED view of things as a mom of two baby girls, but uhm....do U see why someone has to step up and do the work?

Respectfully yours,

Joan

What should we teach our children about Political Process?

I love this reminder to those who forget how FAR we have come in our FAITH.  Let's STAY FOCUSED.  WE CAN DO THIS!

 

 

 

My daughters age 4 and 5 recognize Senator Obama whenever his face appears on tv or magazine.  They can't really pronounce his name correctly but they get really excited to see him.  I think he is a positive inspiration for our children.  What do you think?

 

My daughters really LOVED WATCHING MICHELLE OBAMA's SPEECH! Do U think it is important to share history in the making with our children?  Why or why not?
