Shea Moisture Controversy? I Back Shea Moisture

I will first start by expressing my disdain for the ridiculous controversy revolving around Shea Moisture products. I look at the Black Community as a Community that had to undergo inhumane alienation in America yet We condone the reverse racism and try to hold one of America’s first truly profitable Black Owned business as a yoke for division.

Some Black Women feel that the universalizing of the product line is a slap in the face or as if something is stolen from them yet they want to be on the equal playing field in economics, politics and social status. With that being said, instead of ridiculing the business they should be happy for a Black Owned business that will become more profitable by expanding its clientele.

We can’t hold desegregation as a victory in one area while demanding segregation in others. When looking at anything that originated as Black in America it wasn’t just the Black People that made things popular or giving wealth to the inventors. We will take the music industry for instance. Before the days of the internet when record sales measured the success of Black Artists, how could a small percent of America’s population make the artists wealthy? They didn’t.

Fly United Airlines! It's okay!

Let’s stick to the facts without even demonizing this passenger who refused to give up his seat from the plane by bringing up his background. If every single one of You read the ticket jacket You will see where United Airlines was being courteous by offering any type of concession to give up their seat in the first place. United Airlines isn’t a metro form of public transportation. They reserve the right. If any of You knew anything about taking trips or flying on the regular You would know that there is no such thing as an overbooked flight that is already boarded. You would also know that airline employees for the most get to fly for free and they fly standby! Standby meaning that if You are an airline employee and You are using your flight benefits to leisurely travel then You are treated like shit by Your own company to accommodate the paying passengers.

New Youtube Show Coming!!!!

That's right! Setting the Truthful Expectation is not just a blog any longer but going to be a Youtube channel where I Ricky Manner will be Your host! Here we will discuss topics like what I've talked about on my blog before and also I will be chatting with other popular Youtube hosts and getting their opinions on topics discussed on their shows.

Don't expect a high tech recording studio. I am not going to put all of that money into making a studio when I have a computer and webcam that can give you the images that You need and I don't need any fancy studio to convey my message. I am a Southern Country Boy with heavy opinions and a platform that...well I can't say suitable for all audiences but let's just leave that in the air and see how that goes. Looking forward to seeing You there!!!!

Calling a Spade a Spade...And Calling Abortion Murder

I’m going to approach this sensitive subject with what some may call insensitive truth. I will not bring religion nor debate of the legalities. I just want to appeal to Your good sense and if You are Pro-Choice then I really encourage You to read on and at least bring Me back a legitimate argument without opinion but merely facts.

The subject of abortion has been a passion fueled controversy for several decades now. I get it…It’s YOUR BODY and no MAN has the right to tell You how to treat it. No way in my natural life as a Man I will ever know what it is like to Mother a child from conception through birth. I’m a man…I wouldn’t know anything about morning sickness or not being freaked out when I feel another HUMAN moving inside of Me…unless I was gay.

One thing that I am capable of as a Man and not have full right to without being placed in a padded room and under supervision where I can’t hurt myself is self-mutilation.
