If not now, then when?

Are you saying we are too deeply entrenched in our emotional setup that we cant address a matter maturly?

If we had the same issue on our jobs, in our schools or even at home, can't we just say "I dont like when you say..." without turning it into a quarrel?????

If not, then we are all frauds here!!!!!!

Well, let me be the idiot and start it rolling.....

I personally dont like when (some) White Women talk about going to Jamaica and hooking up with some Jamiacan men, as if to say that they (the men) are hanging out in Jamaica with their lives on hold, just waiting for them to come down and fall in love.

I dont like that.

Will someone talk to me about it or get upset?
if not, I'll just turn this into a monologue.
