Things that Disturb my Spirit

I’ve been a little “inconegro” the past few days and in a serious rut. I apologize for the lack of posts.

I felt like sharing some things that disturbed my spirit this week. You may laugh or hang your head in shame, but it is what it is.

Black Pastors Protest Planned Parenthood (Try Saying that 3 time fast…)

Black religious and Republican leaders are staging a revolt against Planned Parenthood, the one stop abortions shop. No it’s not just the normal Pro-life vs. Pro choice debate. These people are claiming that Planned Parenthood takes donations in the name of targeting black babies. Rumors, legend and theories have been swirling for years that the Founder of Planned Parenthood is a racist who created the organization with the purpose of thinning out the black population. Source

Civil Rights Leader charged with Incest

This news made me sooo sad. James Bevel, a former Civil Rights Leader has been charged with incest and unfortunately with his own daughters. It’s a crazy story but apparently this man had been molesting his child at the age of 6 and continued routinely molesting her for years.

A Great Black man-Songs for my Grandpa in Eflat

In all of my blogs about relationships and stuff, I purposely make a distinction between males and “good men.” In the course of me writing and talking to people, I’ve been asked (mainly by males) What is a good man? I really had to think about it, because there is no blanket answer. I’ve every guy I’ve dated was a good guy, but not necessarily a good man.
