There are so many people I want to thank for allowing me, to be me! It sounds strange but once you are comfortable with who you are you don't really care what everyone else thinks (within reason). The best part of my blog is for me to be able to say whatever I want, its my outlet of all of my feelings..good AND bad...I am thankful to have the ability to write it all down....I say this to introduce my next paragraph...last night was filled with MANY emotions....
In todays world, there are still some really wacky people. Last night my entire family had dinner and visited the tree in Rockefeller center (sisters, bro, bro in law, nieces, nephew, etc.) It was a FANTASTIC evening, filled with lots of wine and lots of laughing! An interesting thing happened...standing in MY OWN city...we had an altercation with a very odd old man and his incredibly uneducated wife. Bottom line is he said some things that I did not even think were possible in this melting pot of a world. As the altercation became more and more heated and my brother and brother in laws were "taking care of the situation" the wife yelled back, "Black Bitch". NOW who exactly were they talking to my sister's and I were all there! HA BUT no for real, I could not image that in front of children, the NYC society and then some, this twisted man's wife yelled that out. I mean if we were standing in Texas at a rodeo MAYBE but in NYC? UNBELIEVABLE!
It's amazing that people like that still exist in this world, although my brother said it quite well to them last night, "Your type will eventually die out!" And he is right...the people that cannot except people for who they are not what they are, and continue to spread racism of any kind in this country...will hopefully become extinct. My photo caption is strong and straight to the point...apparently those people do still exist. If you know who you are, if you were the people that spent last night at Rockefeller center yelling exreme profanities about people's race, I would love for you to step forward so I can highlight your ass! I will always tell that story so people know who you are, without having to see your faces.
In any event, today I am trimming the tree with my girls and my man. There is nothing like the smell of Christmas in a home. It's something you can't quite describe you just have to know. A feeling of warmth and delight no matter what's going on in your life and in the world. I am ready to bring some cheer into our home.
I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend...for those who celebrate the festival of lights, HAPPY HANUKAH!
A very jaded....BTC
