Watch your mouth!

Remember when you were little and your mother would say, "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all?" You would have to remember that. That's one of the old standards in the "handbook for mommies." Do you ever think of her words now that you are an adult? I know I am notorious for saying the first thing that comes to mind; whatever it may be, regardless of who is around. Since I've become a mother I've tried hard to "censor" what I say at the very least around my child. I don't want my negative comments to crowd her toddler thoughts.



I'm sure many of you have figured out that I'm talking about what Jesse Jackson had the nerve to say about Obama on NATIONAL television the other day. Talk about "hate" on a whole new level. First of all, for a man to talk about another man's genitals or "nuts" as Jesse referred to them is wrong on a whole DIFFERENT level. I honestly don't believe that statement had anything to dow with Obama's speech. I really believe that Jesse is upset that he wasn't able to accomplish what Obama has. I also believe that we are all here for a purpose, so essentially no one needs to be upset or hate on another because we are all living out our divine plan. In other words, JESSE the reason you never achieved what Obama has is because you were not supposed to. As there are things that Jesse has done that Obama will never do.

On a deeper level, as a people we need to rally behind Obama. Even if he is not our particular candidate of choice we need to encourage and uplift him every chance we get. He doesn't need us to get on television and start talking about his nuts. Everyday there's another racist, article, magazine cover, interview, book, blog or whatever about him. Let's not add to this man's grief. Let's be where this man can find relief. We don't know when we will reach this paramount again. So we need to enjoy this ride as long as it lasts.

Although I wasn't born when Martin Luther King talked about reaching that "mountaintop" I believe that we are headed in that direction and I for one am going to do everything I can to support the one leading the pack.
