For Ladies Only: It is Time to take a Stand on our Worth

Posted in life tagged , , , , , , , , at 2:52 pm by CandyLite News

If you’re single and think you are lonely…please don’t look at the guys who are difficult to interact with.

These are the ones who play games, migrate to one female or another, might

consider you as being weird only because they are immature, insults your intellect and strings

you along by having his cell phone number.
The man who is “worthy” of you and your time will do the following:

1. Respect You MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, INTELLECTUALY AND SPIRITUALLY!!!
2. Enjoy Conversating with you
3. Enjoy spending quality time with you
4. Be honest with you (whether you like it or not)
5. Take you out to places that you will have a good time
6. Will one day take you to meet his family
7. Make you his wife

Don’t settle for less…only you know in your heart when a guy is definately not worthy of you

FEEL FREE TO COMMENT AND ADD MORE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

A Story on Interracial Marriages in America

Posted in News, life tagged , , , , , , , , at 12:36 pm by CandyLite News

MSNBC covered a story that invited viewers into the world multi-racial marriages in America and their encounter with racism. It’s been 41 years since the 1967 Loving vs. Virginia case that opened the window of opportunity for interracial marriages.How is it so hard for someone to accept another because that person is different from their ethnic background? The ignorance and stubbornness of an individual can consume their mind from daring to be open-minded.

 

One might say “I have no problem with other races…I have friends who are Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, and other ethnicities”, but yet they still have preconceived thoughts of stereotypes instead of letting it go.

How can someone say “I Love You”, and can still hate someone based on RACE; Love and Hate can’t live together because it is a constant fight. One side has to win.

Can one person truly watch the news and not think that all black men are criminals because there is a consecutive “coverage” of crimes committed by them; or categorize some Caucasians as white trash because they act a certain way or come from different economical backgrounds. Did anyone know that the phrase “white trash” is in the dictionary (look it up on www.dictionary.com) just like “nigger”, ”spick”, and “gook” can be found as well. This can show how deeply embedded racism is in American society because it is even in a reference book of higher learning; but then there is the First Amendment….Freedom of the Press.

Here is a Cherokee saying:

An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life…

He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me, it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

One wolf is evil — he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,

competition, superiority, and ego.

The other is good—he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy,

generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too.”

They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee simply replied: “The one you feed”.

Prom Dress Too Explicit To Be Allowed In

Posted in Community Happenings, Lite Video of the Day, News, The Odd Lite News tagged , , , , , , , , , at 4:01 pm by CandyLite News

CNN recently posted this video online about a young girl from Houston, Texas who wasn’t allowed into her prom because of the dress she wore. Comments on the video ranged from blaming the parents for lack of control, applaud for the school’s reprimand on the attire, and chastising the girl’s attire.

Is this an outcry for school’s nationwide to set a standard code for attire worn during school hours and at events? It may lead to a mandatory requirement for school uniforms.

 

What are your views? Should students be able to wear what they want?
