Nationwide, African-Americans suffer disproportionately from HIV/AIDS, which is now the leading preventable cause of premature death for Black women between 25 and 34, and the second leading cause of death for Black men ages 35 to 44 in the US. The CDC states, "If new HIV/AIDS infections continue at their current rate, women with HIV may soon outnumber men." As the nation moves forward with the implementation of the first ever, recently released, National AIDS Strategy, it fails to specifically address the gender specific needs of women, the growing population of women with HIV/AIDS, especially women of color, nor is there any plan for increasing access to resources in areas where HIV/AIDS is most prevalent, and completely excludes the unique cultural needs of women and men from different racial backgrounds.

"Those who profess to favor freedom, yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." - Frederick Douglass, African-American abolitionist

Make Him Sorry For What He Did

Posted

Most women would agree there is nothing worse than a sorry man. As a matter of fact, sorry is the worst thing a man can be especially this day and age. Being a black woman who has historically only dated black men, now that "pickin’s" are slim, I realized I have never took the time to think about how a man can become sorry. This has been on my mind a lot lately and, I have watch the makings of a sorry man unfold before my very eyes. Chris Brown was... (continue reading)

Hope Hurts

Posted

Michelle Obama has an awesome presence. Americans got a glimpse of it when Barrack Obama ran for Senator but it was his race for the Democratic Presidential nominee where she truly has set the precedent for wife, mother and mate. Barrack Obama's respect for his wife and the love he has for his family is clear. Together with their daughters they have erased the image of the American family framed more than 200 years ago. Their family has defied the myth of the good old boy led "red" blooded... (continue reading)
