        <description><![CDATA[From: FROM MY BROWN EYED VIEW It's January 1, 2012.

I hope that you and your loved ones are enjoying the first day of this year.

Everybody needs to take time during the week to just slow down for a moment of reflection, rest and relaxation. It is not written anywhere that Americans will be on the go 24/7/365.  

I can bear honest witness to the fact that setting up 'me time' is the best thing you can do for yourself. I use]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: FROM MY BROWN EYED VIEW I snatched this poster from one of my Facebook friends. It has a message that is worth repeating daily. This is a message that every adult in every community should mantra daily. 

In my line of work it is mandated by law that suspected abuse be reported.&nbsp; Failure to do so can result in a $10,000 fine and possibly six months of imprisonment.&nbsp; I believe that any reasonable minded adult should not need these two incentives to report when a child is being mistreated. 

I have watched the Penn State Sexual Abuse Scandal unfold and it has been difficult not to be angry over what happened to the young males involved. I have a major disdain for pedophiles. 

Right now, the media is focused on the adult males involved in this situation. But what about the victims?&nbsp; Is there anything being done to provide them with the comfort that they need at a time such as this?

I know that it is important for their privacy to be protected. There are people who are so into the effect that t]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Black Media Mine I found this web site that is just bursting with Black Heritage.
I can only imagine the work that went into compiling then putting this site together. I find it a little difficult to follow since it doesn't quite fit on my browser but there is so much info that I don't want to take a chance on missing any of it, so I'll tough it out and do what I have to to read it all.
I'm using Safari and Firefox on a Mac, I haven't tried it on a PC yet. Anyway like I said before, for me it's about content and the work that has gone into putting this amount of info together really deserves making an effort to read it.

A recent show and tell day at school provided a kindergartner the opportunity to share his mom's crack pipe and meth with his class.


This incident should serve as a reminder to parents that your child/children watch what you do. They also attach their ideas of what is important to you to items. Hopefully, this will be the opening for the mother to get help.

First teachers, are you paying attention?&nbsp;]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: FROM MY BROWN EYED VIEW The Georgia Parole Board denied clemency to Troy Davis.He is scheduled to be murdered by lethal injection at 7 p.m.on Wednesday.&nbsp; This is not the outcome that his supporters had been hoping for from the parole board.&nbsp; There is still efforts going on to try and stop Troy's life from being taken.

We have 24 hours left to assure Troy Davis the justice he's deserved. Call or email. The DA can't withdraw the death warrant. Only Judge Penny Freesemann can: 912-652-7252 / pfreesemann@chathamcounty.org

Two Georgia Democrats have forwarded the call for the prison staff to go on strike to help prevent the execution of a possible innocent man.&nbsp; According to a statement from State Senator Vincent Fort and U.S. Congressional Representative John Lewis.




With the final hope of clemency now lost, Georgia death-row inmate Troy Davis faces execution tomorrow night -- unless, of course, prison staff refuse to carry out his sentence.

        <description><![CDATA[From: FROM MY BROWN EYED VIEW The Dead of September 11 (2001)


Event: September 11


Some have God's words; others have songs of comfort for the bereaved. 


If I can pluck courage here, I would like to speak directly to the dead--the September dead.




Those children of ancestors born in every continent on the planet: Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas...; born of ancestors who wore kilts, obis, saris, geles,wide straw hats, yarmulkes, goatskin, wooden shoes,feathers and cloths to cover their hair. 


But I would not say a word until I could set aside all I know or believe about nations, wars, leaders, the governed and ungovernable; all I suspect about armor and entrails. 


First I would freshen my tongue, abandon sentences crafted to know evil---wanton or studied; explosive or quietly sinister; whether born of a sated appetite or hunger; of vengeance or the simple compulsion to stand up before falling down. 


I would purge my language of hypberbole; of its eagerness to analyze the levels of wick]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: FROM MY BROWN EYED VIEW (Please listen to the song Cristo Redentor&nbsp; by Donald Byrd)


This is just one among many days, that I have been an American mourner.&nbsp; The moment has been placed on a list of events that have been violently painful and tragic in ways that could not have been imagined.

I am just one among many of the people who has been through a situation that I did not see headed our way. Until it had arrive and unfolded into this American life of mine. 

I've known since childhood a matter of fact that cannot be denied at a time such as this. A moment of trauma will make you become keenly aware of your inner feelings about life. Especially when that trauma dismantles your sense of what is wrong versus what is right in terms of human conduct.

Ten years have come and gone since the news of America being under attack was released to the citizens at large. 

The blood letting has not decreased.&nbsp; This is perhaps the saddest fact of all the ones that surround this particular tragedy.

        <description><![CDATA[From: FROM MY BROWN EYED VIEW Been Rich All My Life is a documentary film that I just finished viewing. The topic of this movie is about a group of women known as The Silver Belles.

The members of this group are all former chorus line dancers who performed in Harlem and world wide. The members of this dance team range in age from 84 to 96. 

It was a truly interesting piece of our story. The members of The Silver Belles defy the stereotype of elderly women. These queens perform during the film and they share the story of their lives and careers. 



These women provide a historical perspective on what it was like to be a female performer during the era when Americans went to clubs to be entertained. They share their stories and love for each other throughout this film.

One of the amazing facts that I learned while watching this movie, was the fact that 16 chorus line dancers shut the Apollo Theatre down because of a wage dispute. The sixteen dancers founded the American Guild of Variety Artists. 

This is not j]]></description>

Yesterday, I found that my words were suddenly silenced. I did not know what to say after listening to the announcement of your departure.
It was 4:30 a.m. in my part of the union. I was feeding the news junkie inside of me with an ample dose of the BBC. Your story stopped me from whatever I was doing at that moment. I felt that an unexpected stone had been tossed into my heart.  The pain soared through me so quickly! 
You are gone.  
﻿﻿ That is a concept that I am going to have to learn to wrap my head around. You've been my go to brother for a long time.

A new study released on May 11, 2011 has yielded some stunning facts.

The American Journal of Public Health, estimates that nearly 2 million women have been raped in the Democratic Republic of the Congo,with women victimized at a rate of nearly one every minute. 


Rape as a tool of war is a problem that has been identified and documented in the war torn regions of the Congo. This particular study reveals a set of facts that the United Nations has not focused on. 
  
There are also rapes occurring in the Congo in regions where there is no conflict. The researchers found that around 12 percent were raped at least once in their lifetime and 3 percent were raped in the one-year period before the survey. Around 22 percent has been forced by their partners to have sex or perform sexual acts against their will, the study showed, implying that sexual abuse often happened at home.  The w]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: FROM MY BROWN EYED VIEW There is a story about a woman in Africa that I feel is worth taking the time to share with you.

The story is about a lesbian who was murdered in South Africa last month. Noxolo Nogwaza was raped and murdered after dropping her girlfriend off at home. Noxolo was a victim of corrective rape. Corrective rape is committed on the belief that a lesbian's sexuality will be changed once she has had heterosexual contact. 

Not only was Noxolo raped, she was also stabbed with broken glass and  pummelled with rocks by her assailant or assailants. 

Noxolo was a known Gay Rights Activist in her country. Her rape and subsequent death is not the first case that has been reported to authorities. Lydia Kunu, a rights activist who works for a community networking organizer for Ekurhuleni Pride Organizing Committee, contends that Noxolo's attack was a hate crime.

The authorities are currently investigating this situation and this situation has been dubbed as an alleged corrective rape, even thoug]]></description>

There are some comments that I want to make after you have viewed the film.


The comparison of one generation of women to another generation of women has no visual balance. It is pretty obvious that a specific portion of the female population was highlighted. This mentality is broader than the film projects. Females of all body types have different sense of style. Hip Hop is in there.  Along with the styles of other music. As well as occupational dress styles. This film tries to make a point and I feel that it falls short because of the obvious visual bias that is used.

On the day that she was born, I was so excited about gaining a new status as a mother. I was a grandmother and my first born was a girl. After raising three males it was time to get my girlie shopping head trip on!

Every year since she passed, we go out and place flowers on her grave. This year we might not do this. We just made a trip there this past Friday to lay her other great-grandfather to rest. I don't know if my mom is up to returning so soon.

Whether we make it or not today, does not stop me from thinking about her. Or wondering what she would be like at this point in her life. 

Happy birthday baby girl! I know that you are safe in the arm of Jesus. We miss you and we still love you very much.]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[MY HOME WAS INVADED BY A BAT!]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: FROM MY BROWN EYED VIEW This has been one helluva weekend for me. 

On Friday evening my home was invaded by a bat. It caught my attention when it flew into a pot that is kept on the top of my cabinets. When I saw it swooping through my living space, I jumped up and grabbed a broom to do battle.

The first lesson that I learned is how fast a bat can really fly. I almost tagged it with the broom but I wasn't close enough to connect. After I realized that I was not going to be able to get it out without a whole lot of skill and effort, I reverted to Plan B. I ran into the bathroom and closed the door while I regrouped. My heart was beating way too fast from the encounter and I knew that there was no way for me to stay inside with that nasty creature. So, I slipped into some clothes and headed out of my home. 

On the way to a friend's house, I started making phone calls. I immediately thought about animal control. Surely a bat inside of a residence would be enough to warrant an employee to come out and assist a]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: FROM MY BROWN EYED VIEW Spies in Mississippi: The True Story of the Spy Network that Tried to Destroy the Civil Rights Movement, is a book that exposes the role that state supported spies played in trying to topple the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi. 

C-Span has a video featuring a presentation by author Rick Bowers on how this network was formed and the role it played in the communities of this state.  

You can view the video here.

When Governor Haley Barbour tried to forward the idea that there was no true attempt to stomp out the movement, I knew that he was a damn liar then. This is a version of a story that is no less than a cover-up of the actions of those individuals and institutions to prevent honoring the the law of the land. 

Be advised-this story also details the role of African Americans who were a part of that spy network. If you think that this agency was solely White, then you need to take a look at what really went down in this state.

        <description><![CDATA[From: FROM MY BROWN EYED VIEW In 1994, Spearhead released Positive. Some serious food for thought about being relationship responsible. It is a song about the possibility of becoming HIV positive due to indulging in unprotected sex.

It no longer takes two weeks to know the results of a HIV screening. This can be done in a matter of minutes in a safe and confidential manner.

        <description><![CDATA[From: FROM MY BROWN EYED VIEW March 10 is Women and Girls National HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. MBEV is supporting the work of Rocking the Red Pump to help make women and girls in the global community realize that we have to be in charge of our well-being.
Do you know your status? If not-it's time to get tested my sistas! 
Why?


Every 35 minutes a women tests positive for HIV in the United States. 
278,000 women and girls are infected with HIV.
101,000 women and girls have died since the disease was first recognized.
Over the past two decades the proportion of AIDS cases has more than tripled, from 7 percent in 1985 to 25 percent in 2009. 
Women of Color have been greatly impacted, HIV rates among Black women is nearly 20 times the rate than White women. 
HIV infection is the leading cause of death among Black and Latina women ages 25-44 years old. (source)
Most important is the fact that most people who are infected do not realize that they are. 

The testing procedure is painless and it only takes a short period o]]></description>
