What is the ultimate betrayal that you have experienced? For some it would be their ex-lover cheating with a relative of his/hers. For others it could be when a friend poisoned their cat. These are extreme situations but really, are they that far fetched? The thing about trust is that you have to guard it with your life and award it to few. When a person that you actually trust is guilty of betrayal, it can place you in a depressing mental state in the blink of an eye…no lie. The world begins to look differently and it shows in your interactions with people. Anger, hurt, frustration, and wanting to kill someone are all apart of the healing process. Knowing when move pass the pain is equally important as living the pain. We have seen too many instances where that single mother dogs the shit outta her children because of what her baby daddy did to her. Then she goes on to fuck up her children’s lives because she couldn’t let go of some bullshit. Take advice from a person who has experienced her fair share of betrayals. You gotta let that resentment go because it erodes your soul in the long run. The fact that you are still alive to tell about it should be reason enough for you to keep it pushin’. Forgiveness is powerful ya’ll. Now that’s enough for today…lol. Stay beautiful. Muah!

Homophobia
Dear Fam,
I know I have been slacking but I’m so stressed out that
I know I have been slacking but I’m so stressed out that
I just don’t know what to do. I guess it started about a month ago while I was at work when one of my co-workers really showed his true colors ad used the word “faggot” when talking down about a good friend of mine’s. I guess he had smoked some crack and popped a lot of ecstasy if he believed in his mind that I, Toni Raye was gonna let that slide. I became even angrier when another co-worker entered the conversation. This fool is gonna agree with him and try to legitimize homophobia by relating it to Jim Crow! I was so blown away by their ignorant comments that I blurted out: WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!!! They commenced to talking that bullshit again, and I just explained to them that we are all grown and I didn’t respect how they felt no more than they respected the truth I was telling them.
Then there is other co worker who, I personally can step back and see her as a fabulous individual in society but she has a lot of growing up to do. She is a little on the immature side but its understandable for her age group…I’m jumping ahead in the game. So I never had any type of problems with her and I still don’t because I sleep easy at night. So one day I came to work and she called me over to her computer and I noticed a look of disgust on her face. I get the computer to see what she wants me to see and it’s an acquaintance of mines video on youtube of them doing his thing. She goes on to actually express to me that she doesn’t like gay people and how it disgusts her. We get into a debate that I quickly found to be futile because she was talking a bunch of bullshit. I decided to end the conversation before it showed that I wanted to smack the shit outta her. I told this young lady that I didn’t tolerate discrimination of any type around me. She backed down but her feelings are the same. Then one day I was watching a vogueing contest on lookatmeworkmywalmartclothes.blogspot.com and she decided to sit next to me. She chose to sit next to me not because the wanted to use the computer but because she was working on something totally separate from what I was doing. When she saw what I was watching, she simply asked me to let her know when I was finished doing what I was watching on the computer. She made it seem as though whatever I was watching disgusted her. To top things off this gutterbucket scumdragragon had the nerve to say that her new year’s resolution is to not be homophobic. WTF!!!
I feel like we set our social progress back like 50 years or so every time we sit up here and discriminate on people based on irrelevant shit. I could care less about the next person as long as they aren’t keeping me from doing what I need to do. Part of being a well rounded individual is being able to forge healthy relationships with a VARIETY of people. Why hate on somebody because of their sexual preference? All that energy spent on stupidity could have been put to better use. At the end of the day, money doesn’t discriminate and a fool is a fool no matter who you fuckin’. Ya’ dig? Oh, and another thing, please don’t discriminate when you are a hot mess yourself. That’s enough for today.
