WHO TURNED UP THE THERMOSTAT?
I know most of us have heard the expression, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.” During the summer months, I tend to purposely stay out of the kitchen, only using the oven if I must.

WHOOPI AND JESSE JACKSON’S ACTIONS ARE UNACCEPTABLE
By H. Lewis Smith

And to compound this issue even more, Whoopi Goldberg sang praises to the n-word before a national television audience of millions of people. Not only did she devalue herself–as she is an African-American, but also the sacred memories and history of her ancestry, and the black community in general. This type of behavior is totally unexpected of such influential African Americans and completely unacceptable by any African American.
