Destee i'm going to stop right here because the more you type you just keep making my case i never needed to "COMPLAIN" i defended myself and when i did, apparently you and her see that as throwing stones. i got you peace no prob
It's getting kind of old, it's like kicking a dead horse here... I am definitely no fan of religion, so I am not understanding how people who have issues with religion, can get so riled up over a religious person. :?: I have been watching this stuff take place and unfold, while I can say there has been some aggravation on both sides, I can also say that no matter what, the blatant name calling and total disrespect for this woman is sickening and coming from men who say they love the sistas (smh) It's embarrassing and a total let down to see this all happening right before my eyes. I had been keeping my mouth shut for a long time but at this point, I just can't take it anymore. The sister Cherryblossom did nothing to deserve the public disrespect that she has been getting. What has happend to her, reminds me of a public stoning. "Since the woman won't shut up, let's grant her a public disgrace" Don't get me wrong, she is slick, very slick and I think that is the problem we have here. The people who are angry with her seem to be angry with her because not only is she slick and religious, but she is also slicker than those who are not religious and thought that they could call her out and put her on the spot... but she hung in there. I have seen the traps that were set for her, I have seen her walk into those traps and tiptoe right out of them, leaving the trap setter caught in his own trap...LOL Yes, even religious black people can be just as smart as non religious black people and it is high time that we all stop questioning each others intelligence just because we disagree with each other. Black people are the greatest this, black people are the greatest that, but they are not equipped enough to trust that the next black person who disagrees with them, also posesses a great amount of intelligence. Here is a thought...Truly Loving black people is not a condition, how can it be? Astrologer4U
ASTROLOGER4U WROTE : .LOL Yes, even religious people can be smart and it is high time that we all stop questioning each others intelligence just because we disagree with each other. Black people are the greatest this, black people are the greatest that, but they are not equipped enough to trust that the next black person who disagrees with them, also posesses a great amount of intelligence. I HAVE ALWAYS ADMIRED THAT OUR ANCESTORS , WHO CAME FROM VARIOUS TRIBES....BROUGHT HERE ON SLAVE SHIPS , FOUND A WAY TO COMMUNICATE... I HAVE ALWAYS WISHED FOR A WAY TO ELIMINATE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE DEEP-ROOTED PERSPECTIVES.......OF THE HOUSE NEGRO & FIELD NEGRO.... I WILL ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT THE SO-CALLED FREEDOM WE HAVE HAS BEEN POISONOUS AS MUCH AS ITS BEEN BENEFICIAL...... AND RELIGON , IN MY OPINION , IS THE MOST DELICATE TOPIC OF ALL.......SO IF WE CAN RESPECT EACH OTHERS DIFFERENCES.......WHY NOT RESPECT EACH OTHERS RELIGON OR RELIGOUS BELIEFS ? CHARACTER IS WHAT THE INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPS DURING GROWTH....REGARDLESS WHERE ITS ROOTED....SO , IN MY OPINION , IF SOMEONE ELSE HAS THE PROOF , OR BELIEVES THEIR RELIGON IS MORE POWERFUL THAN MINE , SO BE IT.........THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS DISTURB THEIR FAITH BECAUSE OF WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE TRUE.... I WOULD RATHER OPEN MY DOOR & WELCOME YOU TO MY BELIEFS & HOPE YOU WOULD DO THE SAME FOR ME.......INSTEAD OF THROWING MY PRECIOUS BOOK AT YOU....VERY HARD.....AND DARING YOU TO CATCH IT.... I WASN'T GOING TO SPEAK....BECAUSE I'M NEW HERE.....AND MAYBE I SHOULDN'T BE SPEAKING ON THIS THREAD.... BUT ASTROLOGER4U.....YOUR LAST REPLY INSPIRED ME TO SPEAK UP , BECAUSE IN THE VERY SHORT TIME I HAVE BEEN HERE , I HAVE NOTICED DESTEE HAVING TO ENFORCE HER VERY GENEROUS RULES AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN LESS THAN A MONTH..... THE WAY I SEE IT , WAR IS ONLY NECESSARY IF ALL OTHER AVENUES OF PEACE.....HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED... WARRIOR
