A Warped POV by A. Dacosta Brathway

October 6th, Thursday... I've been going to church regularly lately and I've been bombarded with so much 411 about the word I haven't had time to think about the debate about what color was Christ. Personally, I don't care. I'm sure I have my prejudiced moments but I really don't care what color he is.
That being said, I am puzzled about someone else's color that is mentioned in the Bible. I'm wondering if Satan is really red? I mean, is he always blushing or is it so hot where he is, he is just red hot?
I don't think any person should be tagged by the color of (his) skin but red? C'mon... Holla at a brother.
I'm not feeling like asking my pastor because he may not take it in the light I intend it to be in but I am thinking about asking Bishop TD Jakes. I listen to him and he seems like he has a real good sense of humor. If he can sing, off key, to millions of people with no shame, I think he might be able to give me an honest answer!

A Warped POV by A. Dacosta Brathway

March 30th, Wednesday... So, what's w/ the Black guy on Survivor? I'm watching him complain about the (social) condition of his tribe and he is really upset. I mean, he's acting like equal opportunity translates into equal results because he's on an island w/... Well, you do the math. All is not equal anywhere now-a-days! (Never really was for that matter!)
He actually bitched about not getting any of the (differently) prepared rice! Seems like Boston Rob has the ladies on lock down!
I don't know... I'm confused. Is the brother pissed because of the rice thing or the brainwashing of the women thing? He didn't brain wash them, nor did he cook the rice! Shit, he ain't even... in... the... game! Plus, he's an older man! Everybody knows that the elderly suffer amongst Americans. I mean, how can you be BLACK and be on Survivor and not think that you need to use the survival skills you grew up w/?
Why am I even psycho-analyzing this shit? I need to get a life!

A Warped POV by A. Dacosta Brathway

July 20th, Monday/ I know that this post is not going to go over well but golf is a sad, sad sport! It's difficult to play, it's expensive as hell to play, and the prejudice that exists within the game is difficult to watch. But that is not my problem with the game. My problem is how it is covered by the media! Unless the winner is Tiger, no one else has played... Hell, no one else has ever played!
Why even bother to watch the game if Tiger is not playing. Tiger gets bumped out of the British Open and the tournament goes to shit. Lets face it, Tiger is not right since his injury. He may never be the same "Tiger" we have come to know ever again. So, what does that mean? No one else is playing? Is there anyone else worthy being reported on if Tiger is not there? I guess not! I hate watching golf because the great shots I see are not worthy if Tiger did not hit them, according to the reports. "This guy is good but..." "That guy is in the thick of things but..." "Tiger is not playing against the field, he is playing against HISTORY!" Well now he is not playing well against anybody or anything (i.e. the course, the weather, the players, HISTORY!) right now and yet there is always this disclaimer reported that, sort of, qualifies our belief (or disbelief) that what we are watching is a misnomer! And I am not even going to comment on the BLACK thing, except to say "...Don't be another BLACK player (if you can get in!)." It just seems like the sport of golf is single handedly choking the Civil Right Movement! You can be BLACK in any other sport but... Sure Tiger is BLACK, but even he does not claim it! And why should he? He would never cash in!
