Newsmakers Live

I watch the show from beginning to end and it was wrong. Everyone was in a hurry to let their feeling known. We all loved MJ in our own special way, what I saw last night wasn’t about the MJ it was about BET.

For BET to mixed the events was totally wrong.

Not to down play MJ. But I don’t feel what BET did was a tribute to anyone except BET ratings.( Alot of viewers didn’t care for  what you did)

It’s very few times in ones life that they are recognized for their achievements. BET should have let those artist have their moment. By keeping the program as it was. If they wanted to speak it would have been their choice.

There were sincere moments  but if BET had waited I believe they would have truly gotten from the fans, friends, viewers the moment that  MJ touch them and how.

The show was poorly put together. For them to allow Lil Wayne to sing a song like he did with little girls on stage dancing is just degrading, pants hanging,

 BET YOU CALL THAT A TRIBUTE

BET it’s your station, you’er not pressed  for a time slot.

My question:   WHAT WAS THE HURRY?

Being from the old school I have to say that I was told by my grandmother/mom that leaving to go to a better place is something we should all sing about.

When I lost my father I couldn’t understand why my mom was singing, play his music and cooking some of his favorite foods. It wasn’t until we were alone that she said:

Me and Danny live 50 years of love, sharing, raising you children the happiest moments of our lives together. He gone to wait for me so we can continue our happiness.

Then she said something that really stunned me.

She said: I hope I’m as lucky as your father was, When I asked her why she simply said:

I never want to out live you kids, that’s the worst pain I could ever feel.

So Mrs. Jackson I know there are no words that may be able to comfort you at this time, but please believe my heart and prays are with you and I hope you never have to feel this pain ever again.

I was walking from the bank and and had the strangest feeling.  I realized that i was feeling extra good about myself.  I liked what i was wearing, it was a great hair day, and i was walking with more swagga than usual.

 There are women in my life that inspire me. My mother of course or “MA” as her children call her.  Hell! the woman raised eighteen (18) children and was married for 50 years to the same man (my dad).  The other is a youngster; she just moved into a new house.

Anyway while walking the with combination of “MA”/Michelle I began to realize just how much the old and the new are the same.

“MA” taught me values, manners, morals, style, caring, etc.  Michelle proved that female swagga is really good! (she has a “MA” too!)

Both “MA” and Michelle are First Ladies for alot of reason

1- They both know who they are

2- The understand their mates

3- The lead lives

4- They are always prepared but they learned how to become prepared

5- THEY PASS ON WHAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THEM!

6- Most of all they love when you’re right

7- The love you when you are wrong!

8- most of all……THEY TEACH YOU THE DIFFERENCE

I say all of this to say that I’m so proud that I’m my husbands “MA”/Michelle.

While waiting in line at a Subway a  honmeless woman ask the brother behind me if  he could afford a sandwich that was $4.61. His rsponse was yes I can, she replies well then I can wait here then you can order it  or should I sit down. No wanting to be rule he said I’ll see. She insisted that she would just sit there until it was time for him to order her sandwich. In the meantime she said “let me put the money I have away so I can catch the bus, it’s only $3.50 “.

I guess my silent response were read pretty well by him because he remarked to me “is that your friend” my response “HELL NO”. Then I began to vent.

It’s amazing how the same person does this same routine everyday and gets away with.

Wake up people remember this if nothing else:

1- They get a check or some sort of support each month

2- If they have money to put away for the bus/train then they don’t need yours

3- This is most important they didn’t think about the food when they got their check, all they want was that “HIT” or “DRINK”.

4- If they are hungry use that money to get something to eat then “GET TO STEPPING” to your destination.

So this is the route of their money:

GOV’T - POSTMAN - THEM - CHECK CASHIER - DOPE MAN - LIQUOR STORE- CRACKHOUSE- THEY’ER BROKE

PLEASE NOTE: No Grocery - NO Rent - No were to sleep - NO THANKS

While I should have started with that.
