ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Thompson, you can do that for just about anything... being fat... being disabled... being native american... being asian. The point is you have to play the hand you are dealt. How you play that hand makes all the difference. you can either settle back and whine and carry on about how things are unfair and as a result they will enevr get any better... or you can work your ass off to make a better life for yourself. Unlike the MLK days, a better life is more of a reality. No one said it would be easy... its only easy for the "white and rich". The rest of us have to work for what we get. Its reality. No one said there wasnt still work to be done. But to sit around and whine and blame others for your lack of "networking" to get ahead just doesnt cut it with me. My two cents, my take on this tennis match here. DYB is not whining, name-calling and whatever yall have said about him. He is not racist or whatever else pejorative yalls said about him here. Notice the bolded bits. Why is this either or? Why not take an afternoon or a few minutes and bawl your ol eyes out about the inequality, in justice, cruelty, hard-headed imprints buried so deep it can feel like swimming in toxic sludge round here. Why are so many people against any expression of the exasperation, despair hopelessness that fills so many of our people whatever color gender etc? I dont get it. This buck up and face it shit has got to stop. What the Hell? We all for the most part work hard, play the hand we are dealt daily. Why must we go around with stoic freaking presentation faces on? I call bullshit from here to the other side of the planet. It doesnt last forever if you whine about something. If you cry about something de-hydration and exhaustion will end it before it goes on forever. Let's soften it up here, what the hey ho?--we are talking about the down trodden, the left behind, the unlucky, the expolitedd, the less fortunate, the shunned, the fucked with, the unseen, the ones who didnt get the lucky breaks and there are freaking loads and loads and loads of them. Take down the fence we are connected. If someone is starving anywhere we are connected to it whether we admit it or not. I wish I had said all that! heartcream First, i truly hope you arent calling me a "ho". Second, no one said he could not vent. He brought up a topic, he vented, and when people didnt agree, he got beligerent. HE is entitled to his opinion, but no one else is? Just to close this off. I wasn't venting to you or anyone else. Simply stating facts as I see them. Just as you are. Hoping to let you view my point of view. Not sure why your reaction is so strong against me but that is for you to own
