What's up, y'all?
I had not planned to write on this matter (a sistah's been quite busy lately). However at the urging of my dear brothas, I've been forced to provide a woman's perspective.
By now, you've all heard the tape. If not, check it out here.
I'm going to make this plain and simple, because as Americans, I am convinced that one of our primary issues is that we have a tendency to make stuff complicated when we don't have to. So, here it goes.....
I am a mother - a mighty proud mama...and if my child's father ehva (a.k.a. ever) spoke to her, the way Mr. Baldwin spoke to his daughter on her cell phone voicemail, I would have flown out to New York and wupped his ass myself. By the time I got through with him, he would have been begging me to release that recording to the media.
It would have been ON!
