Alice Walker Speaks My Mind

When I wrote the post trying (incoherently at times) to describe how I felt about Obama, Clinton, Black people and (white) women, I couldn’t really put the words together in an eloquent way. Tell the truth, I didn’t really try. I just wanted to vent.

What more could you want? Missy with fingerwaves, looking like she ready to paint a house. Timbaland in camouflage and lookin like an old fat lady. Aaliyah with the super swoop bang. Playa. Ginuwine aka Mr. BabyHurr Lumpkin. And to top it all off… MAGOO! Stupid rap names are an endless source of amusement. But Magoo? As in Mr. Magoo the short, blind, bald white dude who was always 2 seconds from hurting himself? COME ON FAM!
