I don't know the Reverend, nor did I hear the comments he made but they sound like they come from a place of ignorance, a lack of understanding & compassion; not qualities you would expect in a man intent on sharing 'the word of god'.
We all need to embrace the differences in each of us; they are what make us beautiful and unique.
People will say stupid things (I'm sure you must have noticed that before) haha. Here in Australia we had quite a bit of negative, ignorant press comments made during the Olympics also (mostly about how our athletes weren't winning a lot of gold). It's always easy for others to look for a negative & although I don't know the athlete you're speaking of... just the fact that she has risen to the top and is able to represent your country on the International stage, unfortunately makes her a target for those more in touch with their own insecurities than the incredible achievements of others.
You shouldn't get so upset... the things people say, are a reflection of their own self image and say more about themselves and their own insecurities, than about those people they're aiming their comments at.
You have every right to be proud of your race... the rest of the world sees you as a strong people who endured and fought relentlessly for your freedoms & this young athlete is testament to that courage.
I've heard of people being wrongfully convicted but when I saw the statistical numbers that centered around your unique situation. I feel compelled to lend my support. Are there any organizations that's assisting you in your efforts that I could be a part of, B.B. in Wisconsin.
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post "Oklahoma D.O.C. Death Camp". I understand the need to vent, and I hope it helps that there's someone out there reading and trying to help get the word out.
Well, after reading this one....it is the most reflective. Great way of capturing emotions. Shonda was a pillar and all of the things you mentioned. I miss her too.
Hello Nip. It's Iesha. I've read one of your blogs so far. Your list of pics desired is something I can contribute to ...not much to ask for. Also, I will be sending off a response to your letter this week.
also i would like to have a copy of this cartoon. the bubble-pop scene would make a great complementing tattoo to one i already have .. love you and miss you
