BlackPeople"Racist".com


Its 2:30am in the morning and Im watching Jerry Springer. A commercial comes on advertising online dating for singles. Now thats not the crazy part. I mean thats pretty normal. But what wasnt ok was the name and the intended audience! "Black People Meet.com!" Are you kidding me! So I jumped out of my bed angry and mad as hell! How dare black people complain about how racism still exists when they're the ones keeping the existence alive? And its crazy how the advertisers weren't even discrete with it! The commercial said the word "black" 100 times and only had black people in the advertisment, and if that wasn't enough, the name "Black People Meet" put the cherry on top of the cake! Black people really messed up this time. I wonder how many whites are looking at this website as an escapegoat to make a new website entitled "For whites". And as soon as that happens, black people will be crossed and enraged. Im an African American and even I can see the double standard between this racism thing. Its really sickeneing to see my own people yell racsism when they're the main ones being the racist. The website needs to be abolished or redone and retitled. It seems like African Americans feel as though they can do or say anything negative towards or about whites just because of our past. And thats totally wrong! Racism is Racism whether its white to black, vice versa or vice race. I mean c'mon, when are black people gonna meet reality?

So you think you got it bad huh?

I went to sleep complaining about my hair, clothes and school. I woke feeling the same way. I tweeted my morning tweet and noticed that a lot of people were talking about Haiti's. So me being a future journalist and all, I decided to research it. And wow!!! Every complaint that I went to bed and woke up with ceased me! A body here, a body there, a head smashed beneath rocks and rubble and pavement and dust attached to the body's of the surviving! Schools, homes, cathedrals and family's smashed and destroyed. No time to evacuate, or protect themselves from this deadly disaster!

The body count is in the hundred thousands....... and counting........

I decided that my hair looked fine, and there was no need to go clothes shopping and that school would be ok. But its as shame that it took a tragedy as such, for me to notice those things. As a whole, I think that its vital that we start to become more grateful for the things that we do have, as well as our loved ones. If you're a religious person, keep the families of the Haiti's victims in your prayers. Here's a website where you can donate money to Haiti's. http://tech.spreadit.org/yele-haitiwww-yele-org/ or http://twibbon.com/join/Haiti

"Im jus sayin"....


Hi, Im La'Rhonda and Im addicted to being opinionated. Ok sooo I have a slight idea about where this came from. THANKS ALOT MOM!!! I don't really know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. But I know its not something that I don't want to change! Im quick to say whatever comes to my mind and consequences don't really exist to me or it could be that I just don't care about them. Its something about my soul being held captive by the rim of my mouth while my tounge is begging and screaming :LET ME OUT to tell that girl that she was indeed WRONG for wearing those little shorts that clearly shows her newly-developed and unattractive cellulite, and to let that guy know that he has no chance in hell with me, or to let my friend know that he needs to get rid of his lame girlfriend (who will remain nameless) that has nothing to offer him. So you see people, being overly opinated isn't all that negative. Because at the end of the day I feel incandescently FREE and at ease!!!! Lol. I'd rather tell the truth and clear my mind, than hold a lie and have a wondering would've, could've, should've conscious. You feel me? But guys? I hope I don't seem like a total b**ch who has no self-control. Because Im really not a b**ch... I jus "lack" self-control, or thereof. LOL =)

Double the pleasure, Double the Fun!


So some of you may or may not be aware that I am twin! And unlike fashion, celebrities and college, being a twin is NOT overrrated! We get to say and do things that even bestfreinds can't do! Being in the same wound together for 9months kinda made us inseperateable! She's the single most important person in my life. Before my bestfriends, mother and boyfreind... my twin is numero uno! Our "twin(ship)" is deeper than any brother or sister relationship. And I don't care who begs to differ!

Im sooooooo blessed that God gave me another half! My life is awesome because of her!

I love her!

Give me Liberty or give me death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I will never stop being opinionated!!!! I will never become sensitive to someones emotions just because they can't handle the truth! Nor will I become a dark cloud of silence, who forces herself to say only positive things just because one isn't use to hearing the reality of things. People continuosly tell me how mean and insensitive they think I am. But thats bull! I don't go around ambushing my opinions and thoughts onto people, and I certainly don't randomly blurt out negative things just to get reactions out of people. I only speak my opinion when one gets out of place, or when someone asks me my opinion or when a person puts the spotlight on themselves (which to me implies that their asking for my opinion, lol). Nonetheless, I think that more people need to be like me (More expressive). God didnt give us tounges and lips just for sucking d**k you know? I seriously feel like our opinions and expressions are one of the few things that we have control over... And got damn it, Im gonna use them! Can I get an AMENNNNNN!!!!! :)

"Boy Romance Me"


Soo this isn't my usual blogging style. I never highlight people or promote company shoes, clothing or music, ect. But I felt it necessary to switch roles just this once!


My bestfriend Alexis is an upcoming fashion designer at The Art Institute of Philadelphia!!!! I have so many high hopes for her, and not just beacuse she's my bestfriend, but because she's really talented! And unlike other wann-a-be fashion designers, she actually works extremely hard and dedicates alot of time to her work (trust me I know, because she never calls me, lol). She is currently interning in New York with a fashion company named "Taya Jeans" and is working on her OWN 4 garments in 8-pieces collection called "Boy Romance Me"! (When her collection is complete I promise I'll post some pictures of it). Not only does she make clothes, she also sketches and designs her own work and models other upcoming designers clothing. It makes me feel so good to be able to be apart of her growth. And I love thats she's happy at what she's doing. And aside from all of that, she's gorgeous!!!!! So guys, be on the look out for her! She's gonna be HUGE! (She hates when I say that, but I don't care) LOL! Love you Lex! :)
