10 Q's From Q

I got some things I need to get off my chest...So here it goes.

(1) How STUPID is Ben Wallace? Yeah I know he got more money from the BULLS but who in the hell thinks they will compete for a championship ANYTIME soon? It just goes to show you that MONEY outweighs PRINCIPLE most of the time.

(2) Why doesn't Yolonda Adams do an R&B Album? Rhythm and Blues NEEDS you badly Yolonda!!! The difference between her and all the pop tarts out now and that SHE CAN SING....and LIVE. I can go to any street corner in the Hood USA and find somebody that can remotely sound like Keyshia Cole....But there is only one Yolonda..enough said.

(3) Why don't people understand that racism is NOT about personal attitudes but is all about POWER. Simple equation here people. Racism = prejudice + power. Given that equation I will say that Black people cannot be racist. We can be prejudiced as hell. When a group of black people can use their prejudice to negatively alter the life outcomes of white people then MAYBE I will call them racist.

(4) Being Black, educated, gay, and single is a HARD thing. I have heard many black women talk about how HARD it is for them to find a man worth keeping and to them I say....Join the club. Where are all the college educated, masculine (not knockin the "non" masculine brothas you just know what turns you on), progressive minded brothas at? I'm looking for you.

(5) Is it me or is anyone else tired of dudes walking around in what I call "thug drag." It's fine if your style is urban centered (shit mine is) but the difference between ME and MANY of them that I see is that what they are wearing is a "costume" and they have not realized it yet (or maybe they have).

(6) Did ya'll hear that BET wouldn't allow John Amos to join the rest of the former cast of "Good Times" on the stage because he was "too old?" So once again we see a black family, reunited, (albeit fictional) without a father. Just more evidence of BET not being FOR US. I am surprised Harry Belafonte showed up considering the SHIT that he's talked around the world in the past couple of years. Bush or BET? Which one is doing more harm to the Black Community?

(7) Why do I roll my eyes everytime I see a picture of Jesse Jackson? What would Martin think of him these days? This is what happens when the "revoloution" has corporate sponsors (copyright Meshell N'degeocello).

(8) Isn't sex overrated? Am I saying this because I just don't get any?

(9) Why is it that you can't have a banging church choir without some gay people in it? Why is it that we know of gay pastors, deacons, missionaries, trustees, and parishoners yet everybody goes about their business and says nothing? Why is it that many of us stay in the congregation amidst hateful interpetations of the Bible that demonize us? Why would I rather go to hell than to "romp" in the heaven that these people are selling us?

(10) Isn't Las Vegas going to be fun? I can't wait. I hope I dont have to go alone. If I do then oh well...Life is too short....You gotta get all you can WHEN you can.
