Who going to Wakanda?!?!?

Last weekend I went to see the much talked about movie Black Panther. The week prior was opening weekend. When I tell you black people dressed in African garb and Wakanda Forever T-Shirts. They showed up and got in formation.
I said I was going and my Facebook peers suggested I dress up, do it for the culture. Well I did not dress up.I sat my happy self in my truck at the local drive in with a Publix sub and a half gallon of their peach tea and waited to see what all the fuss was about.

When the movie was over I remember saying I like the soundtrack. I liked how they could fly and drive and still be in the lab. I liked it all in all. However I LOVE the Suicide Squad. I like what I like and I don't go along with everything black because I'm black. I seen alot of my peers looking for flights to Wakanda, ya'll be safe. I'm not going. They had little quotes that people felt were geared to keep us woke. Funny thing is ya'll still sleep.

Weeks before the movie was to be released, women wanted to boycott the film because one of it's stars Michael B. Jordan was dating a non melanin sister.  He is an actor,his job is to perform. Who and what he does is his business. Yet ya'll wanna revoke a "black card" because they don't line up the way ya'll feel they should. That's like all the brothers on Facebook yelling stay woke,and "I love my melanin sista's", but their significant other's have no melanin and look nothing like the "sista's" they have all this love for.

You are entitled to love who you want. Be whoever you desire to be in life. Just don't make anyone else feel less than because they don't share your views. Everyone is mad at the white man for slavery, but you must remember who helped capture and sell your ancestors to the slave owners in the first place. There is so much history to discover, look at it from all sides before choosing a side.

Now for all of you going to Wakanda,enjoy it. Respect those of us who decided to stay where we are. After all, everything ain't for everybody.

And then came you.....

I have always gave myself timelines to do things. Most of them I have accomplished. I said I wanted a tattoo or tongue piercing by thirty. I got a tattoo at twenty-six. I said .I wanted to be married by thirty. I got married less than  two months after my thirtieth birthday. When I was thirty-five I told my mom I wanted to have another baby before I turned forty, and that's where this story begins! Life happened in a strange way. I decided to get a divorce, and move to Alabama to die. Yes I said DIE. I was tired with this thing called life and dealing with the people in it. I learned that people only care about you as long as you can do something for them. Being ill and them putting a death sentence on you without a diagnosis was enough in itself. I found peace with my decision and packed up my life and moved. There are pieces that won't make it to this post because it's not important at this moment. This moment is dedicated to this little girl who would not let me d...
