... and I'm as happy as a fat kid in a candy store. I tell you what, today could not have gotten here fast enough. I'm just plain 'ole tired, sleep deprived and weary. I'm in a great mood, despite having no energy at the moment, but the subject matter of this entry, unfortunately, does not reflect my mood.
I know everyone has read and heard the idiotic remarks spoken by the sacrilegious Jesse Jackson (I'm being nice)... so I won't go into it today. Besides, I'm about a day late and dollar short with that one. But, there is an article written by The Root blogger, Keith Josef Adkins. It's beautifully written and it totally made me think, so check it out if you haven't already. In the article he touches upon how the black community's dirty laundry at one time was only aired out in private, but now it seems as if many black people in power seem to think it's OK to air it out in a public venue. (I'm paraphrasing, but you see where this is going)? Anyway, he goes on to say that though certain negative issues about black men are always brought to the forefront, the positive should also be addressed. Agreed. Like I said, just read the article, you'll enjoy it.
But, as it turns out, it's not only issues about black men that need to be addressed. Apparently, some mothers need a good "beat down!"
As it turns out, allegedly a Houston area mother forced her teenage daughter who was five-months pregnant to take an abortion pill. The daughter, 16-year old Carla Perez, wanted to have the baby but her mother told her if she didn't take the pill she would hurt her. Afraid for her own life, young Perez took the pill, which caused her to give birth to a stillborn baby. Here's the kicker. The girl's grandmother buried the fetus in their backyard!
Galena Park police are now searching for the body. Cadaver dogs are also helping police search for the body. As of now, police have not been able to locate the body.
What is our world coming to?!
