hahaha you see? Good news like that will never hit mainstream media and if it does they'll put a spin on it and say...parents have rejected plans from Obama and settled for costodial positions...food for thought family!!!

I don't understand how is this a good thing?? Seriously not being a smart ass but if you don't have custody of your child why the fuck do you deserve any money for NOT taking care of your child Im lost. If that's true than i think I don't like Obama and I'll join the impeach his ass campaign.

You know what this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of in my life.... thanks for posting it. 85% of single parent homes are run by woman, and a large majority of these families are living in poverty this is very scary.

The part that sounds RETARDED to me is that because you give up custody of your child your able to be in this program this seems utterly retarded instead of giving the jobs to the parent that IS the custodial parent for their children their the ones living in poverty because children are put you in the poor house. How is giving money to someone ...See More

Okay, I did a bit of research. I hit Google and Bing and the only mentions I could find associated with Jobs Now are in Minnesota (http://www.jobsnowcoalition.org/), North Carolina (http://www.jobsnow.nc.gov/) and San Francisco (http://www.jobsnowsf.org/ or http://www.sfdaas.org/1410.htm). The Minnesota one is from 1995, has no association with the...See More

@ KELLY thank you I mean if this program really does give deadbeat parents any money than Obama is not going to see a second term this sounds crazy however Google the fatherhood incentive program and there he is giving money to fathers that do not take care of their children. This is just sad because no Where does the program make these parents take care of their children with the funds this is some crazy shit!

you guys got it all wrong. its not about deadbeat anything, non custodial just means the kids primary home is either with the mom or the father. the program really was rolled out to encourage businesses to start hiring. businesses said we cant afford to pay salaries so obama came out with a voucher program that enabled the business that hired the ...See More

dont use this simple job stimulas program as a platform for your issues with your own dead beat dads its not even close, its for good people who want to work who have probably been laid off in the last couple years and for businesses who are timid to hire new people for fear of not being able to afford it , to be able to get over the hump becaus eof this economy we are in.

Actually I refuse to go back and forth if you click the link this is a program for absent fathers it's giving them jobs BUT not teaching them anything about being better parents and taking care of their children. I don't think people are lazy there ain't shit out there for people in need of it. It's stupid to provide jobs to those who have no damn ...See More

thers probably more women then men that are participating in jobs now. its hard for men to get any type of custody of children they always give it to the women. just because one person has prmary custody doesnt mean you cant see or participate in the childs life . my daughters mom has primary custody but i can go over her house anytime pick her up ...See More

I have to agree, Bush screwed a lot of things up, Obama was left with all his screw-ups to fix, the economy still sucks I know, but it's gonna take sometime to repair all the damage Dumb Dumb left behind, just my opinion on it anyway.

i have to agree with you ladies...it bothers me when people talk about OBAMA like he is responsible for everything and he isn't BUSH is the mistake he fucked this coutry big time...it took 8 years to get the US the way it is...you cant expect one man to fix it in less time then it did to make the mess...again just my opinion...

Bush surely fucked things up, but Obama's out of control spending (at nearly $36 BILLION per day) will fuck things up for two or three generations down the road.... Look, it's impossible to spend your way to prosperity,,,, which is something that Liberals have never (and will never) understand....

Death of an entire culture; The Black family


Mommy and daddy in the home together, dressing in slacks and button down shirts to go to school, no bad words, chores a must, respect for adults neighbors and everyone, God, school and family. There were daddies working hard to bring home the money to take care of their wives and children. People were getting married instead of making babies, having baby mommas, or baby daddies! Children knew their fathers, people knew their grand mommas on both sides of their families. Children weren't so overweight, rude, uneducated, wild, uncontrolled, sneaky, lost as they are now in 2010. The Black family stuck together not only with each other but with other Black families, respect for one another was the rule. Love for race, life and the Lord were always first and upfront.

Now babies don't know who their daddies are, the saddest part is many don't know where their mommas are either. Children run the streets at all hours of the night, parents don't know where they are or what their even into, children curse at very young ages because no one has told them any better or their parents think it's funny or cute. Education is poor, parents don't bother to teach outside of school, parents don't bother to even get involved and go into the school. Black children don't know the joys of many things that their white counter parts, swimming lessons, cheer leading, gymnastics, playing musical instruments, time spent away from the front of the television. I mean yes there are those rare few that have wonderful fathers in their lives, but these fathers are always being hit with the hatred that many woman feel for their absent ass fathers or babies daddies. So much that it's become a social norm for males to be bashed by woman and nothing much else thought of those who have done their jobs, stayed around and loved, raised and cared for their seeds.

The Black family is dying and dying quickly, there are many sites on the net, agencies and groups out there that are fighting to get fathers to be in their children's lives. Money that could be used or redirected else where is people would just do what they used to do, back in the 60s and 70s just take care of their children. Black people get your boys off of the corners to hang out and get them into programs, jobs, volunteering to help out in their communities. Give your children extra lessons teach them what the public schools won't and that is about being BLACK, proud and about their true history NO WE ARE NOT AND WERE NOT SLAVES we were ENSLAVED we did not choose to be slaves here in this country, we do not choose to be the bottom of the barrel in fields like science, math, spelling we didn't choose to be followed by the police every time we get behind the wheel of a car, we do not choose to be followed every time we enter a damn store. Teach them that if you act and conduct yourself in a manner that is respectful than you have the right to bitch and moan about how poorly your treated. Educate them on how much evil, murder and hatred have been plunged upon other races of people in the history of the world. Teach your children to stop being so damn fresh and trying to fuck one another before they even get out of the 3rd damn grade. Be a stronger force in your Black male son's heads than those looser ass friends that they run with. Woman teach your daughters to stop letting their bodies hanging out, cover their asses and read a damn book instead of shaking their asses outside in front of the entire neighborhood. Black people stop crying over the hand you've been given put down the damn weed, beer, and other drugs and get high off of being a great parent, or get high off of empowering your race, your community, or the fact that your making your ancestors proud that they walked miles for you, were beaten for you, were murdered for you, were wet with fire hoses for you. Make your mark become the strong proud people that were once feared for their strength, bonds, education, restraint, power, become a proud people again instead of the dying breed you've already started to become.

Narcissistic + Pastor/minister = WRONG


I had to write this today to release so many things that are wrong with religion in this world today. . . . . Facebook has been for me one of the largest learning labs I've ever come across in my entire life. It's sad because I really wish some people could step outside of the entertainment and socializing features of facebook and learn from all the things that are posted right before their own eyes. I mean people post, thoughts, comments, quotes, news articles, life affirming things can be picked up from day to day post to post or friend to friend. However what I've noticed that I really don't seem to understand is the self promoting outright narcissistic behavior of people among the cloth. Those that have for some reason or another have decided to join God's team and promote the goodness of the Lord or is it their "goodness" their wishing to promote? I recently in the last few days added a minister/pastor of a church and could not help but see all the promotion of self that was taking place. I mean there is somethings to be learned from those ministers of the Catholic Church I mean minus the hatred, racism, sexism and molestation of the children, woman and minorities, but the good things like the vow of poverty the showing of humbleness among the people doing the work of the God.

I once attended a baptist church for eight years and the comical things about this were the constant preaching of the pastor about his daily struggle to pay bills and keep up with home repairs, yet he was always wearing a new suit, or driving a newly leased vehicle. I mean these things instead of owning a decent car outright, or maybe dressing down to show the people of his church how to relax and direct funds into their homes instead on their backs. As if the words sound better coming out of a thousand dollar suit instead of a twenty dollar dress shirt an a forty dollar pair of slacks. I mean some of the best messages I've ever heard have come from clergy members that were just dressed for the day instead of dressed for an awards ceremony. There is also a difference in church attire along racial lines as well, many people that aren't African American often attend church in much more relaxed clothing, that doesn't make their experience any less that ours. To me it just makes it easier to concentrate on the words being spoken than the pomp and circumstance that's taking place in many of the other churches where the dress code is more important than anything else.

Society ills are a direct reflection of the failings of the leaders within the society. I mean when you say your doing God's work but acting like a model/super star using members of your church as if their your entourage than there is something seriously wrong taking place. The sad thing is that people are blind to this behavior and so willing to follow someone in the name of god despite the fact that they may be leading an example of a life in which no one is intended to benefit from. So for tonight after learning what I now know, I will head to these pages and click on the "remove friend" button and feel sad for all those that don't even know any better to do the same and move from under the shadow of someone that's blocking their view of the true, one and only God.

Looking in MY mirror. . . . . .


. . . .sometimes I wonder what's life all about. I mean yes we're born many born into misery, abuse, neglect, poverty, fighting, very few with silver spoons and picture perfect homes, mommy and daddy and every ones so damned happy. Many are like myself living in spite of, surviving in spite of. . . . however when does the past fade away and provide the fruits of our struggles? When does the booty come to those victorious to survive the unthinkable? I mean rarely there is a child born to adhere to the fists in the face, the forcing of having to drink alcohol instead of being given medicine for their colds, the stench of having to eat up ones own vomit........when will I be able to say that I've survived and arrived to receive the reward of my long fought battle called childhood? I've learned so many things, I've felt so much pain, but when I look into the mirror all I see is sad eyes, all I feel inside is alone. No one looks into these eyes and sees what I see when I look at them, maybe every now and than I may receive a "are you alright?" easily people become distracted not really caring about my reply, I usually answer that I'm fine, the very few times that I've answered with a "no" the seeker usually stares blankly leaving the words to fall on the ground.

Does anyone really care about anyone else? I mean we just float along in this life passing one another once in a while exchanging niceties, maybe attending each others functions, a birthday party here a wedding shower there, maybe a funeral in between. But when we're looking into our mirrors is it just US that we're concerned with all along? Is it something wrong with people that look into their mirrors and think of others, I mean deeply immensely think of how someone else may be doing, feeling. or living? What is it that one does when their sad eyes are only made happy from knowing that another has smiled today? What is it that lives inside a sad soul? What is it that awakes to a sad life daily? What is it that causes the mind to be so confused sometimes? So much confused that it can't find happy any more, so much that it can't find a positive thing within the everyday living?

Fuck it maybe I just need a new mirror.......I'll try that and see how things work out for me, with time everything must be replaced!!!

Facebook; When someone you thought cared about you but.......


......Funny it's my fault for looking, however it's my Macbook and for the years I have been with "her" nothing I have texted, emailed, posted, said, thought or done has been my own information. However at a time when I am going through so much, physical, mental, emotional, family, illnesses, issues, depression, I find out that everything I have thought was private or things that didn't even happen SHE made up about me and posted for all her friends to see and read and comment. Crazy because I've been asking for a few months now why we couldn't be friends on Facebook, not knowing that all the time SHE has me blocked on her facebook which is why I could never find her page. I mean things that I've thought about, things that I've talked to her about, things I've said to her or my daughter she either posted them, distorted them or just outright lied about them. I mean I have done or said things in anger but never would I have a secret girlfriend and lay up with "her", never would I even lie about liking someone, I thought that honesty was what WE were going with! I mean I'm not crying about it just don't feel like doing that however at this time in my life I thought that I had made an honest friend that maybe I didn't make the mistake in choosing a person to be in a relationship with.......however I was wrong DEAD wrong....my hands are shaky, my mind is racing, my spirits are down......I never thought that this would ever be me, happen to me....I mean almost four years of being with someone I thought maybe...just maybe I might have lucked up and found a pretty decent person. NOT!!! I mean since the years I thought maybe growth was coming, I thought maybe honesty was already in place......I thought maybe not crazy like I once thought! But yes crazy, yes a liar, yes immature.....and I am here left picking up the pieces and trying to get my life back on track....my feelings back in order...........my hopes up that maybe someone some where is sane, mature, honest, loving, and not looking to move from one situation to another, not using Facebook as a dating site, or as a soapbox to stand on to make up all these lies about everything. I mean who does that? All along I was willing to share my Facebook information, because I AM NOT DOING ANYTHING CRAZY!!! I mean every time I turn around there's that same crazy, useless mother fucker standing before me and I am just as dumb to open up my life and let in another loser. I know I have a crazy dysfunctional family but if someone choses not to deal with their family thats one thing BUT if someone's family REFUSES to deal with them than that shows you that they have a shit load of issues and you need to fun as fast as you can from that LOOSER!!!! Another sign they have no friends, or are constantly losing friends and moving onto new ones thats a sign that maybe you too need to run before you get eaten up by this person.
