Black Women Speak is a community blog for black women of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities to speak from the heart to each other about everything! As black women from diverse cultures, we have our own unique challenges, a plethora of solutions and wisdom to spare. This blog for african american and black women is created just for you!
This is our time, space and place to share our ideas, concerns, stories, poetry, world views and more with our black sisters across the globe. Black women, just like you and me are destined to be mentors. We can cry, laugh, advise and dream together as part of our very own network through this blog for black women. We invite and welcome people of all ethnicities who may want to learn and share with us.
What's-her-name Palin's speech tonight was almost non-stop stand-up comedy. Perhaps she should be hired as a permanent fixture on Saturday Night Live, or BET's Comic View. It is one thing to poke fun at something or someone here or there in a speech, but the stream of one-liners targeting Barack Obama was overkill, not to mention offensive to me as a listener regardless of the target. Maybe I missed something? Was Palin contracted to do a Barack Obama Roast event? Well, I know who will be wearing "the pants" in that administration if the pair wins. I also loved scanning the audience with its 2.3 Blacks! Politics these days ranges from the SUBLIME to the RIDICULOUS!

God forbid that Hillary Clinton and her husband should ever take a back seat to anyone other than their own self interests. What in the world was that video last night promoting Hilary Clinton at an event where Senator Obama was the candidate to be featured front and center? I am not the least bit impressed with her speech...about herself! Spare us another speech. Hillary would make a great criminal defense attorney to defend guilty criminals. With friends like her, who really needs enemies?

There is a lot to be said for social networking. It is a wonderful way to connect people from all over the world and all walks of life. It’s also a great way to network, make friends and well, you know whatever else it is you want to do online. When I as much younger there was no Internet or 106 & Park; there was Soul Train and channel 2, 4, 7, 9(out of Canada) 50, 56(PBS) and 62 (Black Folks TV) if you lived in Detroit that is. Cable you ask? What is that? Yep, that’s it, just Soul Train. I really envy and admire the choices this younger generation has today. You may not see it as anything special, but you do have experiences and technology at your finger tips that was not even thought of years past.
Many leading Apostles, Bishops, Pastors and Church Leaders have attacked this Newspapers owner because he claims that they are misleading the people of the ALMIGHTY by saying that it does not matter what you call GOD. He states that the name of the Creator is YAHWEH and that this is his original name and that he wants to be called YAHWEH by his children and his creation. read more (145 words)

Senator Obama has chosen Senator Biden as his running mate, and I say hurray. This morning the McCain campaign and some Fox News reporters and wannabe pundits and other sources were salivating at the perceived misstep by Senator Obama in his choice of a running mate. Such ill-conceived gloating, reporting and anti-campaigning is the height of snobbery and hypocrisy. read more (539 words)

There is an ad on television for some product or other. I have no clue what the ad is for but have taken note of the overarching message. There is some Black guy in the ad and he says something to the effect that he will take his "women" somewhere or the other. Yep. That would be ONE GUY talking about his
"W-O-M-E-N!" This is what some women settle for, mind you; to be one of many women for some man. As I saw the ad, I had a flashback to the term "player." The dictionary definition of "player" ought to be L-O-S-E-R, plain and simple; same definition that would and should apply to their "women." I look forward to the days of gold diggers being over in my lifetime, if I am lucky. As for "players," they remind me of pimps. L-O-S-E-R-S.
We lost 2 greats this weekend. I will miss both Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes. Bernie gave me many laughs and Isaac gave me much to groove to. A master of romance. There legacy will live on and bring joy to many generations to come.
