First of all, I wasn't contacted, and BET was/is in same location as me. Apparently, BET didn't google enough info, or given the family members in the documentary, I was conveniently omitted. Crime and glorification sells better, I guess.
I should have been contacted because I was the reason Davis was transferred from Sullivan Correctional Facility to the Shawangunk facility where he was killed. I shut down Larry's nonsense and at the same time discovered the lies, including from... (continue reading)
I know most blacks won't agree, especially those living in the urban areas. but how is it that 30 years ago with less resources and constant denials we behaved with more dignity than the situation we were in. as in we rose above it, didn't succumb to it AND knew our value and self worth?
the irony is the main "person" prayed to during all the civil rights struggles have forgot that main "person": God!
whites DO NOT have the monopoly on quality... (continue reading)

this informal paper/article developed starting 2 years ago. I finally got around to posting. doubt anything will come of it, because those at the top have shown they just don't care. so I guess the next step is for those NOT at the top to have another plan. ;o)
For those who don`t know,
it`s Tamra, not TamAra.
There`s also a "MsTamara" on BP, so please check your spelling
when sending notes, because we are not the same person, nor do we
know each other.
Where are the decent
people?? Are the majority of people here on BlackPlanet.com (or
predominately anywhere, for that matter) looking strictly for a sex
partner, oh my bad...a "freaky sex partner"? Are the majority of
people on BlackPlanet.com the type of people who praise thugs who
will rob and steal from decent hard working people, or assume
everyone else is, basically "low value system"?
Years ago, I heard so many positive things about Black Planet.
However, so far, minus 1 handful of normal people, everyone I`ve
received notes from or talked to or saw in 30 Something`s chat room
is either:
1. Cheating on his
wife (or her husband) and looking for a down-low freak -- "I
wanna make you my friend" is the new down-low greeting. Your
wife/husband should be your friend. If they`re not, try making them
one! And if you can`t, you`ve got bigger problems than trying to
find a "new friend". Otherwise, you`ll be wasting TWO people`s
lives!
2. A dead beat
dad or mom, while on the hunt for more sex. ("nicca go home and
feed ya kids, they need food AND CLOTHES!!")
3. A thug "glamaboy" who thinks hustlin` is the ONLY way of
life and work is for "suckas" (imagine if Dr. King, Medgar Evers,
Malcolm X, etc. solely lived by this approach). And then, will defend drug
dealers, pimps and `hustlas` as if they were saints. One member
even told me to "seek help" for being upset about being robbed
WHILE LEGITIMATELY WORKING by one of his most admired criminals of
all time, an infamous drug dealing cop shooter. To him, the
criminal was a cool dude, he don`t care what nobody say...and "I`m
trippin`" (basically asking me to lower my value system for a roll
in bed or gutter)!
Another member was like "calm down, it ain`t serious" while they
were praising the same person. Yes, being robbed, losing 20+
years of hard work and having to rebuild your life with $-5.28
(yes, negative) in checking, and left for dead is never serious!
("Who or WHAT raised these people?!") And the reason it`s not
serious -- see #1 above! (And yes, prior to this, they thought I
was an opportunity for them! Yeah, right!)
4. Gay...and think, hope,
wish and pray you are. ("Chile...pluh-eaze" - Leviticus Chapt. 18,
specifically verse 22 while you're praying)
5. Psycho stalker who wants
to make you his BP wife. ("Are you chatting with others in the
public chatroom?!!" while your eyes are just bulging with theme
from movie Psycho playing in your head)
6. Black men looking for
white women or white women who HATE sistas but looking for
black men who incidentally came from black women! (SWF_4SBM,
whyte_chocolate4ya, down_azz_whyte_honey4u)
7. A white man who wants to try some chocolate for a change.
BP member "skyview" tried to chat hijack me, then proceeded to yell
in chat room "Tamra can`t handle a white guy" because I refused to
chat with him, threatened to broadcast I was a
racist and made other threats (while I`m just sitting there
reaching for the "igg" button)...oh and yes, HE HAD A PICLESS
PAGE!!)...oh and, of course, wants to try some chocolate while his
wife is "outta town". ("We seriously need to limit the intake of
hip-hop to sheltered white men. They think all sistas are
`skrippas` and just DYIN` to bend ova and touch da flo and just
SHAKE SHAKE MAKE IT CLAP!!, even when we pay for our own living
expenses from working as an engineer!!!")
8. Total
liars. ("You can still see the smoke from past lightening
strikes from lying. A fireman even delivered the note to you for
precautionary measures!")
9. Pretending to be or
using status in military or Iraq for some play. ("Chile
pluh-eaze... concentrate on not getting a bullet in yo azz! Or
better yet, drop-n-roll, those Iraqi car bombers ain`t
playin`!")
or worse....
10. Just 2 "sammiches" short of
a picnic...crazy...derranged and "call me, let me know where
you will be so I can be in an opposite place"!
and my all time favorite...
11. "Luvs dem some Jesus", will testify on their mama grave and
attends church weekly in praise of "Jesus". But....don`t know His
real name is not "Jesus" or why they`ve come to know Him by a
European name, and never bothered to read the Old Testament, which
speaks frequently of him! And swears Jesus is a white guy,
yet the people of His region WERE
NOT. Well, wait, Jesus is a white guy who matches his european
name, but Yeshua (his real name), the son of The Father isn`t. And
even funnier, probably still believe European jews were slaves in
Egypt (Deut. 28 - couldn't possibly be true if they were, and that
would also make Genesis' "begats" 10:2 (Sons of Gomer/Ashkenaz) a
lie. *sigh*. You`d think being on blackplanet.com this information
would have been readily available somewhere. No wonder we`re so
lost, we don`t even know our own heritage and how we`re continually
stripping ourselves of our blessings to come INTENTIONALLY.
But what happened to just fun people who just like to have funny
adult conversations in adult rooms, or decent men and women you
looked up to and admired like those from anytime up to the
1960`s/70`s, people you wanted to grow up and be like or just truly
enjoyed their company?
Or is BlackPlanet really just not worth the time?? Everytime I get
a new note from a stranger, I`m afraid to open it. I`ve been asked
to show my private parts (and not in that "polite way"...it usually
starts with "gurl, I wanna put yo ***** in my mouth and just
(insert quote here)). I`ve been told explicitly what they`d like to
do to me in bed (and this is ALL before the word "hello"). Or the
notes that crack me up the most: notes with just "hi" from people with
BLANK PAGES! Their pages are soooo blank you can see who they`re
going to send their next note to!
Is it time for me to look on whiteplanet.com or join the Klan?
Naaaah...I don`t hate my people or anyone that much.
But have others become that
degrading as a whole? And I say "others" because I will never lower
my value system or disregard my faith in decency, that is never a
smart decision.

You need to be friends with MsTamra in order to leave them a Comment.
