What if you could go back in time, where would you go and why?
If I could go back in time, I would go back in the 60’s. Reading about civil rights activist always made me feel excited and proud to be an African American individual. If I could go back in time I would want to be around when Martin Luther King Jr. I would have loved to work side by side with him. There were so many African American people that gave up their lives fighting for the rights of others. I would have marched over 100 miles to make a difference. While marching I would be shouting for equal right. The only thing that would scare me about going back in time is the personality that I currently have. My personality is very strong and dominant. Things back then were segregated between black /and white people, which is something I would not have been able to tolerate. I can actually picture myself doing things as daring as using a “white’s only” restroom or drink fountain, or even sitting in the “white’s” section in a diner.
If I lived in that generation I would feel scared knowing of the consequences that black people faced when trying to stand up for their rights. However, being the strong black woman that I am I would be willing to risk my life on behave of equality. When I am passionate about something especially culture, I will do what ever it takes to make a point.
What if you were left on a deserted island with only one thing, what would it be and why?
First off, if I were left on an island all alone, I hope the island would be surrounded by beautiful clear blue water. Before I panic I would take a good swim to calm my mind. If I could bring one thing to the island it would of course be a phone!!! If I’m going to be alone I will still need to talk to people and let them know my everyday updates.
What if you could be one famous person, who would it be and why?
I would be Barack Obama during his presidential election. I would have loved to go on the journey he went through to get to the white house. Hard work pays off and he is the result of that. On the day of his inauguration he must a felt a feeling that the average American will probably never feel. That is the same feeling I want to feel, that’s why I would want to be Obama.

"Men in brown"
“Men in brown” was about UPS workers and the obsession women have for them. A UPS worker symbolizes a strong sexy man that looks like some form of a hero. They usually have what women call the ultimate body and looks. The men look great in the uniforms and have a powerful demeanor about them. I think women find a sense of security in these men. For example, they know the same worker will be there everyday, so therefore they look forward to it. Unlike other men that aren’t UPS workers, women aren’t sure of security within them.
Women fantasize about the men in brown. Its like that uniform stands for sex appeal. It’s just something about a man in a uniform period that turns a woman on. Some women are so obsessed, that if the their usual UPS man had a day off; they would call the company and ask why he wasn’t present that day. Some women let live in a fantasy world which allows them to believe these men are what every man should be. If the men in their lives don’t meet these standards, then that’s when there is lack of respect.
In my opinion, UPS men usually have great appearances, but that’s all it is. I can never imagine myself fantasizing about any of them. My first initial thought would be about his personality. Asking myself questions such as: what’s his personality like? Is he married? Any kids? What’s the furthest he got in school? Everything’s definitely not always about looks in this society. Some of the best looking people in this society can be the cruelest of all. But overall, it doesn’t hurt to just look and wonder about the men in brown!

Chris and Rihanna
The Grammy's is an event that almost every American looks forward to every year. Everyone wants to know who's wearing what? Who brought a date? And who are the nights' most important performers. This year I was looking forward to performances from Chris Brown and his alleged girlfriend Rihanna. They both make great music. Many people look forward to performances by Chris Brown because of his dancing style. He always finds creative ways to deliver his musical expressions. Instead of the two R&B singers performing at the Grammy’s the two were in a domestic violence dispute. The LAPD reported that Rihanna said Chris Brown punched her in the face, bit her, and chocked her unconscious. There are a lot of celebrities reaching out for Rihanna and telling media sources that Chris Brown is basically a horrible person. At this time Chris has lost a lot of fans, endorsements, and air time on popular radio stations. I honestly think that this situation is being blown out of proportion. Rihanna’s own father and other family members spoke out and said that her injuries were not as serious as the media were making them out to be.
The only two people that actually know what happened that night is Chris Rihanna. No one knows how the fight got started and why it did. This situation is a big “he say, she say”. For all we know Rihanna and Chris both could have been drunk or even on drugs that night. The two were leaving Clyde Davis’s pre- Grammy party where other celebrities were also partying. Rihanna claimed that she doesn’t remember anything prior to him chocking her. So the question is, how does she know he was the one that attacked her, when he wasn’t even found on the scene.I just feel that the media are making Chris out to be a horrible person. They have been bringing things up from his child hood, such as times where he witnessed his mom being abused. This is very unnecessary and inappropriate.
I just feel that there is something that is missing in this whole story. There is something that people don’t know about this couple that either media sources don’t have information on, or are just not releasing yet. I don’t even think this story should be getting as much cover as it’s getting. There are way more hectic things going on in the world then Chris Brown and Rihanna. The topic is definitely overrated now!!!
