Have you ever felt disappointment? If you’re a living, breathing human being of course you have! The difference between how we react to it is what distinguishes success from failure in achieving life goals. Well…I may have assumed a bit here. The first thing we need to have ARE life goals. So if you want something [...] I had briefly heard of this story in passing but hadn’t realized all of the ramifications involved. Comic Sunda Coonquist has been sued by her mother-in-law for making jokes about the behavior of the family. Much humor is rooted in pain and certain comedians are very skillful at dissecting the actions of others.

For a more recent comparison think of TLC’s recording of No [...] I present to you the letters from William Lynch slave master giving instructions how to break a person enslaved to keep them in servitude. Read it and be outraged. Then read it again and think about when blacks were emancipated but how most of those emasculated men felt the need to exert a false sense [...] Here’s an interview with Former Secretary of State William Cohen & Journalist Janet Langhart Cohen being (somewhat annoyingly) interviewed by Matt Lauer. They’re discussing the book about their dating and marriage to each other, Love In Black & White: A Memoir of Race, Religion and Romance. You’ll hear about some of the old familiar arguments [...] |
