THE RNC is DOA

I am a Republican, a black, dyed in the wool Republican, and I never intend to belong to any other party than the party of freedom and progress.
-Frederick Douglass


Now, all I want to know is if back in his day the Republicans were like the Democrats are today? or Did my B in history just happen to appear angelically on my report card?

Cause if Mr. Frederick Douglass were alive right now he might have done a real fast and powerful switch to the Demo side right about now. And if not he would have been the brightest and the best darn Republican speaker in this day and age.--LOL

I can see him asking Sara Palin, "What in God's name did you not say to your child and how did that get pass you, Mrs. supposed to be VP??"

When I turn to the news and see the RNC folks, they just look dry, boring and are most white men in suits. THere seems to be no pulse just stiff cheers and energy that could never match the Americans filled with diversity who are soon to be the driving force behind making change and history in this place we call home.

On another note, I have noticed white patches spreading on my left hand the more I see the news about this RNC Puppet theater broadcast. I make myself stay abreast of both sides because that is the only way one knows how to counter the adversary is by learning about their tactics and sometimes lack thereof-lol

Anyhow, my vitiligo is affected whether I am totally excited i.e Barack Obama or if I am just irritated with John McCain and his cronies that I get worried and stressed out because......Heck you know why!!

I have been trying to get the manager of a popular grocery store who lives with Vitiligo to be a guest on my show "Turning White in Hollywood". I know she is shy and seems private, but I am determined to transform that as soon as possible. She is the sweetest and most sincere person have met in the professional world who has vitiligo at a moderate stage.

So, if you are reading this, you know who you are and I really want you to PLEASE, PLEASE STRONGLY CONSIDER BEING ON MY SHOW!! I am going to tell you like the politicians say when they are looking for donations. "Your contribution will make the world a better place!" Except your "Contribution will be your heartfelt experiences and feeling that others can benefit from and gain hope by you sharing it with us.

Be well,
Maia
