Your info was very helpful in clarifying some things for me and made for a better post. Another woman blogger actually posted a series of photos of Whitlock on Twitter last night so we could better understand what a "character" he is. I probably would've posted those photos with a caption saying "This Is Who's Calling Us Ugly" with no copy. That would've been enough! SMH. Don't go revealing who you are unless you want! <br /> <br />Khadija: It's ok because that process needs to be done quickly. This is a time-sensitive endeavor.

I think you did a good job with your post and like you, I'm with you in quickly recognizing dysfunction (especially DBR dysfunction) and trying to move away from it. There are certain media that I just can't take in, despite my interest in the subject matter, because I know that ignorant DBRs will take over and derail legitimate discussion. <br /><br />Oh, and I have been around Whitlock in passing multiple times... he doesn't speak to me, and I leave him alone as well! I better not say much more, lest I reveal too much about myself!<br /><br />Keep up the good work on your blog!<br /><br />Lisa99Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689654975245458947.post-66444716969582447942009-07-08T05:39:33.431-07:002009-07-08T05:39:33.431-07:00Faith,

Especially a frightening, disappointing one such as the TRUE state of the African-American collective. I would compare seeing <em>this</em> reality with open eyes with the shock of living in a real-life zombie movie.<br /><br />At least that's how I remember feeling when I snapped out of my previous trance. I distinctly recall "joking" to friends about: <em>"Why didn't anybody tell me that most of us were going to turn into zombies at the stroke of midnight? Then I could have planned my wardrobe in advance! I would have worn 'sensible shoes.' The better to run away in!"</em>-<br /><br />Peace, blessings and solidarity.Khadijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07732325133964607276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689654975245458947.post-33081308454346182112009-07-08T05:07:20.850-07:002009-07-08T05:07:20.850-07:00Khadija: Well I've been rather fed up after th...Khadija: Well I've been rather fed up after this exchange. Again, I've fumbled a bit in immediately recognizing the dysfunction and not wasting my time. I just hope someone else will learn as I did that disengaging is best, but as I said I really had no idea how many DBRs are running around unchecked.Faith at Acts of Faith Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150553143062604249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689654975245458947.post-44027563034700117732009-07-07T23:37:03.894-07:002009-07-07T23:37:03.894-07:00Faith,

But there was one detail about the Whitlock creature's masthead that struck me: Do you notice how so many of these colored "journalists"/assassins (and the White racist ones) market their hit jobs as "edgy"?<br /><br />Is "edgy" the new code word for racist, sexist, inappropriate, and oppressive?<br /><br />Peace, blessings and solidarity.Khadijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07732325133964607276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689654975245458947.post-7651881840337141332009-07-07T18:01:53.809-07:002009-07-07T18:01:53.809-07:00Brother OMi: Thanks for relaying the story about y...Brother OMi: Thanks for relaying the story about your family. I remember sitting in my paternal grandpa's lap and how he'd hug me, kiss me and tell me loved me and give me pennies, lol. I just remember feeling on top of the world during those moments because I knew I was loved by his actions. We all need that.<br /><br />Anonymiss: Who care why Whitlock did what he did. If the majority of BM were doing their jobs he would've been shut down immediately. Instead I found a group cheering him on and supporting the depravity. It is a sorry state for many blacks when so many of these men don't act like men but complete idiots. Whitlock was suggesting it: he said flat out she is - and lazy. he's not even worthy to lick the bottom of her shoe!Faith at Acts of Faith Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150553143062604249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689654975245458947.post-72865635286937513872009-07-07T17:48:37.882-07:002009-07-07T17:48:37.882-07:00I can't understand why Whitlock felt the need ...I can't understand why Whitlock felt the need to make references to Serena's well-toned body. A Black man suggesting that a Black women have a "little less butt?" Say what?! *Scratches head*<br /><br />What strikes me as odd is that he sounds no different from the a-hole rappers that he loves to criticize.<br /><br />If he wanted to say that Serena has the potential to be way up there with tennis greats such as Navratilova, then he should just say that.<br /><br />I can't believe that he's suggesting that Serena's overweight. She's just as muscular as Navratilova was in her day.Anonymisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13030472200941563001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689654975245458947.post-51965435328695550982009-07-07T09:24:56.550-07:002009-07-07T09:24:56.550-07:001.

It bothers me that we have desk jockey's who should really be hitting the gym attempt to critique someone's athletic abilities. Although I don't play tennis, I know how hard it is to keep in shape. The Williams sisters have worked extremely hard and they should credit just for that. <br /><br />3. Man, the williams sisters are as fine as all outdoors. And yes, they were raised VERY well.<br /><br />4. Although my father rarely provided even a physical presence in my life, I made sure that there were male elders (female as well) around to counsel me. Moving to Ohio, I miss them dearly. Although, I still consult with them over the phone, I miss hugging them and holding their hands. I miss their pats on my back and the playful punches. I miss one of my grandmasters admonishing me for a sloppy kick or telling me how wonderful i am.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205384167481897308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689654975245458947.post-39167894183214076462009-07-07T09:13:42.843-07:002009-07-07T09:13:42.843-07:00Anonymous: Thank you for catching that.

Love your blog.
Regarding this paragrap...Hi Faith! Love your blog.<br /><br />Regarding this paragraph... <i>I’d caught the tail end of some BM discussing a recent article about Serena Williams. It was a hit job by a white male writer who said some derogatory things about her.</i><br /><br />I don't know exactly the article you're referring to, but if it's the one that I'm thinking about, it was done by a BLACK male writer named Jason Whitlock.<br /><br />If we're thinking of the same article, then I think the fact that the author was a BM only strengthens your point!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689654975245458947.post-30806725510738146262009-07-07T05:19:06.420-07:002009-07-07T05:19:06.420-07:00I also came across the article written by said jou...I also came across the article written by said journalist after catching a few of your Tweets. For somebody who calls himself a 'sports journalist' he has no clue what he is talking about.<br /><br />The Williams sisters are the best female tennis players in the world - you do not get that title from being lazy and unmotivated as this 'journalist' suggests is the case with Serena.<br /><br />Unrelated to whether or not she is a great tennis player/athlete ... why this 'man' decided it would be acceptable to tear into Serena (or any other woman) on the grounds of her looks is beyond me. It's inappropriate, shameful not to mention misogynistic.SoulUKhttp://www.souluk1984.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
