Finally it has happened to me, right in front of my face, and I just cannot hide it.</p>
<p>Meeting Mr. Right, the man of my dreams, the one and only true love or at least it seems.<br />
With brown coco skin and curly black hair, it&#8217;s just the way he looks at me, that gentle lovin&#8217; stare<span id="more-1633"></span></p>
<p>Finally you come along<br />
The way I feel about you it just can&#8217;t be wrong<br />
If you only knew the way I feel about you<br />
I just can&#8217;t describe him oh no no</p>
<p>CHORUS<br />
CHORUS</p>
<p>It seemed so many times he seemed to be the one<br />
But all he ever wanted was to have a little fun<br />
But now you&#8217;ve come along and brightened up my world<br />
In my heart I feel it I&#8217;m that special kind of girl</p>
<p>Finally you come along<br />
The way I feel about you it just can&#8217;t be wrong<br />
If you only knew the way I feel about you<br />
I just can&#8217;t describe him oh no no</p>

I NEED YOUR HELP!   I&#8217;m on a personal quest to be delivered from homosexuality( as some folk say) or simply pray my gay away!  Hell, I&#8217;m giving it a shot!  If it worked (allegedly), for Rev. Donnie McClurkin and Rev. DL Foster &#8211; why not me? On Nov.12, 2009, I made a concerted effort to pray gay away 2x daily.  I&#8217;m asking all pastors, prayer warriors, and any and everyone to assist in my transformation (all denominations welcome).  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m sick and tired of people saying my innate ability to love a member of the same sex is a choice. I DID NOT choose homosexuality!  It chose me &#8211; genetically!  Lawd knows, it would be sooooo much easier to screw multiple women, play them like objects, be a playa, a dead-beat dad, and have multiple baby mamas&#8217;.  And all of that is less frowned upon socially than being in a committed, loving and monogamous relationship or marriage with someone of the same sex. <img alt="" src="http://roissy.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/steatoscarlett.jpg?w=175&amp;h=542&#038;h=175" class="alignright" width="175" height="175" /></p>
<p>My Family would LOVE to see me with a female at each holiday event. They wouldn&#8217;t care if it&#8217;s a different woman or multiple women, or a ghetto-fabulous Ho, but just as long as she was born a female would certainly bring joy to mama&#8217;s heart.   Also, I&#8217;d fit in with the male majority of society: stories about girls I screw every weekend;  pursuit of the new female employee with the big tits and phat azz; talk about women like shit; gawk at women as they pass with rude gestures and verbiage;  and a 24/7 vigilance for PUSSY! <span id="more-1609"></span><br />
Therefore, I&#8217;m on a serious quest to change to heterosexual &#8211; once and for all!  The way God intended me to be. Correct?</p>
<p>Seriously, I ask you to assist me and send me a shout out or prayer for my metamorphosis from homo to hetero.  So, all you church folk and non church folk lets get cooking.   Give me what Donnie and DL Foster are professing.  All things are possible through prayer. Yes?   </p>
<p>So, how will I know when I&#8217;m done (straight)?  I plan to measure my progress weekly.  However, I DO NOT plan to act or experiment upon a heterosexual LIFESTYLE until I&#8217;m completely converted.  Wish me luck! </p>

Should the Catholic Church&#8217;s nonprofit use your tax dollars to openly discriminate?  Also, they&#8217;re stark proponents, in favor, for the continuation of blatant discrimination.</p>
<p>The Catholic Charities of Washington DC, a nonprofit group that receives federal dollars, doesn&#8217;t want to give benefits to married same-sex couples nor process their adoptions, etc&#8230;  Actually, Catholic Charities has always violated DC law because it discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation and marital status in regards to adoptive parents and religion. </p>
<p>An Interesting facts about Catholic Charities: you must be a christian before they will assist you.  No non-christians welcomed.<span id="more-1598"></span></p>
<p>So, Catholic Charities is trying to strong hold the DC council by screaming to the nation that  it cannot  continue operating programs (with city and federal money) while assuring that the organization&#8217;s gay and heterosexual employees would be treated equally when DC legalizes gay marriage in Dec 2009 through the DC Marriage Equality Act.</p>
<p>Church officials have said they worry that they will have to end their contracts with the city if Catholic Charities does not provide employee benefits to married same-sex couples or process their adoptions, among other things.</p>
<p>I think city council is being amicable for now so not to insight a national debate and alert congress.  Congress has the final vote on DC legislation because DC is not a state.  Therefore, but when marriage is legalized in DC come spring 2010 you bet Catholic Charities will either have adopted the the model as other states with same-sex marriage or they will be blasted with numerous discrimination issues.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure DC city council would love to replace Catholic Charities with one or more faith-based non-profits.  Catholic Charities brings in 8million dollars to DC, but 8mil in DC isn&#8217;t a lot.  </p>
<p>In essence the Catholic Church is swiftly crumbling.  In DC, recently the CC closed numerous schools due to no money; the DC CC is losing congregant which equal less money; the DC CC sex scandal are still alive and costing big dollars; and NOW the DC CC blatant discrimination is being exposed.   The DC CC is fighting to hold on the falling house of cards.<br />

Bishop Pearson says the Bible is a book of Myth, Magic, and Miracles.  Well&#8230; I certainly agree to that! I call it the book of scribbles.  Black and White christian folk dropped Bishop Pearson like a hot potato between 2004 -2006. He was in bed with Republican galore.  They declared him a heretic because he became self actualized and his ministry evolved.  He began teaching inclusion. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s no secret that the Black and White church folk are very angry and cannot understand how Pearson could dare go from mega church celebrity status to preacher to gays and lesbians. The Gospel of Inclusion!  Rev. Pearson says &#8221; I&#8217;m doing something different now and God lead me to do it.&#8221;  So what&#8217;s so hard for Black folks to understand an individuals process of evolution.  That&#8217;s it!  Black church folk cannot tolerate change.  Pearson says he has a new audience and he cannot return to the old Black church doctrine.  He says, &#8220;I just can&#8217;t help you.&#8221;   I cannot turn my back on the people I do reach.  God gave me a new audience. <span id="more-1576"></span></p>
<p>Rev. Pearons said, &#8220;I&#8217;m not coming back, you&#8217;re coming to where I am &#8211; at some point.&#8221; (5:45).  Quickly, the panel got offended and reverted back to declaring Pearson got demons.  I watched Pearson taking the lashings from the panel without swift counter attacks.  This is truly a sign of Pearsons self-actualization. </p>
<p>I will always applaud Rev. Carlton Pearson for stepping outside the box!  </p>

Does your partner call you &#8220;N&#8221; in public?<br />
Some moons ago, I briefly dated outside my vast construct of suitors: a wannabe thug.  An intelligent brotha but hooked on trying to be HARD!  Well&#8230; the dating ended on our second date. We hung out with his middle-class  straight friends at an outside restaurant. The conversation was good, no &#8220;N&#8221; usage, and lite fun until the brotha referred to me as &#8220;N&#8221; in FOUR separate sentences.  And to top it, he even said to the guest, &#8220;He hates when I call him &#8220;N&#8221;.&#8221;  So, what was my response?  Damn my blood was boiling.  Two worlds had just collided!  I waited a good minute to think rationally and decided to politely say goodnight to his peers and exit stage left.  Some folks don&#8217;t mind such treatment, but for ME &#8211; you gotta go Now! I don&#8217;t give a damn how cute his azz is &#8211; ya gotta go. The End!  There is no overcoming &#8220;N&#8221; usage in public spaces. No. No! No!!</p>
<p>Nigga What?<br />
by <a href="http://afroerotik.blogspot.com/2009/08/nigga-what.html">AfroerotiK</a><br />
We embrace calling ourselves niggers, like that’s empowering, when in actuality, it’s disrespectful to our ancestors and just plain ignorant. To believe yourself to be a nigger, to behave like you are an ignorant sub human (the true implied meaning of the word) has no benefit or value. Defending the use of the word, trying to rationalize that it has been changed into something positive is insanity. Nine times out of ten, the usage of the word is meant to be disparaging and degrading, EXACTLY the way white people intended it to be used, and on the tenth time, it’s an empty a sign of self-hatred masquerading itself as a term of endearment. <img alt="" src="http://www.cbc.ca/gfx/images/arts/photos/2008/07/18/arts_n-word_584.jpg" class="alignright" width="200" height="129" /><span id="more-1517"></span></p>
<p>White people expect us to behave like niggers, so calling ourselves that, ESPECIALLY in front of them, does nothing but reinforce to them that we are inferior. To carry yourself like royalty, to walk with dignity, to boldly declare that you are not only equal to but better than white people with your speech, your actions, and your intellect is FAR more threatening to white people than calling yourself a nigga. Want proof? Write a blog calling yourself a nigga and talking about cars, drugs, guns, rap, sex, sports, and how much you love living in the ghetto. You won’t get a private response or two from white people. Well that’s not entirely true. You might get a response or two asking you to fulfill their sexual fantasies. Then, write a blog, grammatically correct and spell checked, that talks about the greatness of black people, our strength, and our ability to excel despite racism, oppression, and bigotry. Write about how our true history of greatness has been distorted with white lies and deception. Discuss, academically articulated with footnoted and documented proof, advanced African civilizations and how white people re-wrote history to make themselves appear superior. White people will crawl out of the woodworks to tell you that Black people are ignorant and that you are nothing but a nigger.  </p>
<p>You have to ask yourself, what would you rather be called, what benefit do you get from calling yourself a nigga? If calling yourself that makes you feel connected to other black people, consider yourself a slave on the plantation. If you do nothing else this year, decide to stop using the N word to describe yourself, to describe other black people you want to look down on, or as some sort of synonym supposedly meaning Black person. It’s negative, unenlightened, and stupid.<br />

I’ve met many tormented and struggling pastors like Donnie with same-sex secrets(SSS). Most spew anti-gay rhetoric continuously and pray 24/7, but all remain heavily tormented. They hide behind the pulpit, first lady, and the word -not hoping God make them new again, but PRAYING not to get caught.  And, saints, I know what I’m talking about!!! This ain’t speculation, or pontification – it’s conclusive, creditable, and confirmed.  </p>
<p>Donny boy feels used! Now, at 50yrs old, he has made torment his cross to bare for eternity.  He continues to blame an adolescent molestation for his homosexual curse. Seriously,  did Donnie give dat azz up to too many men in the church and outside the church that he felt like a used Ho?  Maybe he never found the love he was desperately seeking because he never possessed self awareness?  Like so many others, Religion is likely Donnie&#8217;s personal crucifix.  They all internalize deep self hatred.<span id="more-1519"></span></p>
<p>Donnie&#8217;s performance only does more damage to young struggling Black glbt youth.  Check out the video at <a href="http://rodonline.typepad.com/rodonline/2009/11/watch-donnie-mcclurkin-rants-against-tonex-homosexuality-and-gay-youth-at-cogic.html">Rod2.0</a>.  Rod mentions my dear friend <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' />  D.L. Foster who applauded Donnie COGIC performance.  DL Foster is another Black ex-homosexual who&#8217;s another seriously tormented soul professing ex-gay choice to youth.  Honestly, I wish they both would seek therapy outside the church.  Only then will they discover the road toward self actualization.  </p>
<p>The bottom line is that church folk know God is not in the deliverance from homosexuality business; they know Donnie and many others will always creep on the down low regardless the magnificent performance to pray away gaydom.  </p>

I will not forget the promise the 44th president of the United States of America made to me.<span id="more-1508"></span></p>
<p>If you are elected President, what concrete steps would you take to overturn ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell?’ ”<br />
Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL):</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230; America is ready to get rid of the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. </p>
<p>All that is required is leadership. were told that American soldiers weren’t ready to serve next to gay and lesbian comrades. We were told that our airmen, sailors and Marines would lose their “unit cohesion” if we implemented a policy of equality. And so, rather than embracing leadership and principle, we embraced Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell — a policy that is antithetical to the values of honor and integrity that our military holds most dear. <!--more-->Patriotic gay and lesbian Americans are now told that they may serve their country only if they hide their true identities. They are forced to live a lie as the price of risking their lives for their country.<br />
Fourteen years later, the United States of America lags far behind. We lag behind our military allies, who are repudiating discrimination against lesbian and gay soldiers in ever increasing numbers — in Great Britain, Canada, Israel, nearly every NATO member in Europe — all with no impact upon military readiness and performance. And our politicians lag behind the American people, who now call for the repeal of Don’t Ask,Don’t Tell in super-majority numbers. It is time for a change.</p>
<p>As president, I will work with Congress and place the weight of my administration behind enactment of the Military Readiness Enhancement Act, which will make nondiscrimination the official policy of the U.S. military. I will task the Defense Department and the senior command structure in every branch of the armed forces with developing an action plan for the implementation of a full repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. And I will direct my Secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security to develop procedures for taking re-accession requests from those qualified service members who were separated from the armed forces under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and still want to serve their country. The eradication of this policy will require more than just eliminating one statute. It will require the implementation of anti-harassment policies and protocols for dealing with abusive or discriminatory behavior as we transition our armed forces away from a policy of discrimination. The military must be our active partners in developing those policies and protocols. That work should have started long ago. It will start when I take office.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><img alt="" src="http://media.nowpublic.net/images//d3/9/d39c54d94ce67b473e6b2af44b7c12e7.jpg" class="alignleft" width="400" height="280" /><br />
If I hear another commentary allude to Maj. Hasan being harassed by the ranks as possible cause for mass murder &#8211; I&#8217;m gonna crack!  Victims of harassment don&#8217;t mass kill.</p>
<p>Gay and lesbian service members, past and present,  who live and work under Don&#8217;t Ask Don&#8217;t Tell (DADT) are bullied, tormented, taunted, ridiculed, vilified, tortured, lampooned, punished, harassed, persecuted, provoked, teased, etc&#8230;  BUT DON&#8217;T KILL 13 and injure 30.  </p>
<p>Evidence is steadily mounting that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan conducted a Jihadist terrorist attack at Fort Hood.       </p>
<p>Maj Hasan wasn&#8217;t a muslim in the closet- he was out and visible; he openly displayed  his culture, religion, and beliefs.  Evidence show he openly spoke out about his opposition toward muslims in the military.  He asked military officials to give muslims an out as conscientious objectors instead of fighting in wars against other Muslims. <span id="more-1495"></span></p>
<p>Fact:  Maj Hasan did not convert to Islam; therefore, as a muslim, Maj Hasan signed a contract with the Dep. of the Army to provide education in return for military service.   </p>
<p>In essence,  American soldiers are terrorized under DADT daily, so get off the Maj Hasan was bullied story and should more diversity training be mandated.  When civil rights for gays are under attack in our own country and we take up arms to fight for it anyway, DO NOT TELL ME Maj Hasan was distressed due to inequality.  And that&#8217;s the rest of the story!</p>
