I want to take a journey to beautiful. a fresh place to breath. a place where i have nothing and everything. a place where time has no consequences. a place where i can hold the intangible. somewhere between dark and light. because right now these walls are closing in on me. i want to go to beautiful. <3

The times when she is weak, she is strong.

The times when she is sad, she is happy.

The times when she is nervous, she is calm.

The times when she is annoyed, she is patient.

The times when she cries, she smiles.

The times when she is broken, she appears whole.

The times when you are asleep, she is awake.

The times that you forget, she remembers.

The times you told her she was special, she held it in her heart.

The times you told her to trust you, she put everything in your hands.

The time you told her you loved her, she was forever and always yours.

The "N" word

Sun, 03 Apr 2011 22:21:16 -0400

History can’t be erased, and as much as people try to sugar coat it and change the meaning of “nigger” or “nigga.” The original meaning of the word still remains and was something to demean and make a whole race of people feel worthless.. Here’s just a little piece of this article I read, it might not change your opinion, but maybe when using it you will think of original meaning behind it.

“There is a direct and strong link between the word nigger and anti-black caricatures. Although nigger has been used to refer to any person of known African ancestry,² it is usually directed against blacks who supposedly have certain negative characteristics. The Coon caricature, for example, portrays black men as lazy, ignorant, and obsessively self-indulgent; these are also traits historically represented by the word nigger. The Brute caricature depicts black men as angry, physically strong, animalistic, and prone to wanton violence. This depiction is also implied in the word nigger. The Tom and Mammy caricatures are often portrayed as kind, loving “friends” of whites. They are also presented as intellectually childlike, physically unattractive, and neglectful of their biological families. These later traits have been associated with blacks, generally, and are implied in the word nigger. The word nigger was a shorthand way of saying that blacks possessed the moral, intellectual, social, and physical characteristics of the Coon, Brute, Tom, Mammy, and other racial caricatures.”

…

“The word nigger carries with it much of the hatred and repulsion directed toward Africans and African Americans. Historically, nigger defined, limited, and mocked African Americans. It was a term of exclusion, a verbal justification for discrimination. Whether used as a noun, verb, or adjective, it reinforced the stereotype of the lazy, stupid, dirty, worthless parasite. No other American ethnophaulism carried so much purposeful venom, as the following representative list suggests:

Nigger, v. To wear out, spoil or destroy.
Niggerish, adj. Acting in an indolent and irresponsible manner.
Niggerlipping, v. Wetting the end of a cigarette while smoking it.
Niggerlover, n. Derogatory term aimed at whites lacking in the necessary loathing of blacks.
Nigger luck, n. Exceptionally good luck, emphasis on undeserved.
Nigger-flicker, n. A small knife or razor with one side heavily taped to preserve the user’s fingers.
Nigger heaven, n. a designated place, usually the balcony, where blacks were forced to sit, for example, in an integrated movie theater or church.
Nigger knocker, n. axe handle or weapon made from an axe handle.
Nigger rich, adj, Deeply in debt but ostentatious.
Nigger shooter, n. A slingshot.
Nigger steak, n. a slice of liver or a cheap piece of meat.
Nigger stick, n. police officer’s baton.
Nigger tip, n. leaving a small tip or no tip in a restaurant.
Nigger in the woodpile, n. a concealed motive or unknown factor affecting a situation in an adverse way.
Nigger work, n. Demeaning, menial tasks.⁵

Nigger has been used to describe a dark shade of color (nigger-brown, nigger-black), the status of whites who interacted with blacks (nigger-breaker, -dealer, -driver, -killer, -stealer, -worshipper, and -looking), and anything belonging to or associated with African Americans (nigger-baby, -boy, -girl, -mouth, -feet, -preacher, -job, -love, -culture, -college, -music, and so forth).⁶Nigger is the ultimate American insult; it is used to offend other ethnic groups, as when Jews are called white-niggers; Arabs, sandniggers; or Japanese, yellow-niggers.

Americans created a racial hierarchy with whites at the top and blacks at the bottom. The hierarchy was undergirded by an ideology which justified the use of deceit, manipulation, and coercion to keep blacks “in their place.” Every major societal institution offered legitimacy to the racial hierarchy. Ministers preached that God had condemned blacks to be servants. Scientists measured black heads, brains, faces, and genitalia, seeking to prove that whites were genetically superior to blacks. White teachers, teaching only white students, taught that blacks were less evolved cognitively, psychologically, and socially. The entertainment media, from vaudeville to television, portrayed blacks as docile servants, happy-go-lucky idiots, and dangerous thugs. The criminal justice system sanctioned a double standard of justice, including its tacit approval of mob violence against blacks.”

…

“A 1916 magazine advertisement, copyrighted by Morris & Bendien, showed a black child drinking ink. The caption read, “Nigger Milk.”

The J. Millhoff Company of England produced a series of cards (circa 1930s), which were widely distributed in the United States. One of the cards shows ten small black dogs with the caption: “Ten Little Nigger Boys Went Out To Dine.” This is the first line from a popular children’s story called, “The Ten Little Niggers.”

Ten Little Nigger Boys went out to dine;
One choked his little self, and then there were Nine.
Nine Little Nigger Boys sat up very late;
One overslept himself, and then there were Eight.
Eight Little Nigger Boys traveling in Devon;
One said he’d stay there, and then there were Seven.
Seven Little Nigger Boys chopping up sticks;
One chopped himself in halves, and then there were Six.
Six Little Nigger Boys playing with a hive;
A Bumble-Bee stung one, and then there were Five.
Five Little Nigger Boys going in for Law;
One got in Chancery, and then there were Four.
Four Little Nigger Boys going out to Sea;
A Red Herring swallowed one, and then there were Three.
Three Little Nigger Boys walking in the Zoo;
The big Bear hugged one, and then there were Two;
Two Little Nigger Boys sitting in the Sun;
One got frizzled up, and then there was One.
One Little Nigger Boy living all alone;
He got married, and then there were None. “
Just something to think about..

Meaning Lost...

Tue, 22 Feb 2011 13:49:45 -0500

There was a time when words actually held meaning when they were said. I love you really meant “I love you with all my heart forever and always” and now I love you means, “I love you at this moment, but tomorrow I could love someone else and the day after that could be someone new too.” I’m sorry really meant, “I sincerely apologize for hurting you in any way, those were not my intentions”.. now it means, “i’m just saying sorry so you will forgive me but i’m most likely going to do it again.” I promise, was a secret pact between two and now it just seems like a useless word said to get something out of someone or get what you want…

It’s sad how words that are meant to express how a person feels have been abused and really have no meaning anymore. you can’t base someone off what they say because people seem to never really mean what they say anymore.. TRAGIC.. smh

You always taught me to stand on my on my own two feet.

Whether it was helping me with my homework, reading me books, singing me to

sleep.

You have always provided for me and give me the world.

Words can’t describe how special you are to me.

And one day I will give you back everything that you have given me.

Like you always tell me.. love is patient, kind and worth waiting for.

So i’m telling you.. be patient and it will come again, because a women like

you deserves nothing but the best.

So with that said..

Will you be my Valentine? <3
