THE UNTOLD TRUTH

THE REAL THANKSGIVING

J

The sad reality about the United States of America is that in a matter of a few hundreds years it has managed to re-write its own history into a mythological fantasy. The concepts of liberty, freedom and free enterprise in the “land of the free, home of the brave” are a mere spin. America was founded and became prosperous based on two “original sins”: First, the murder of Native Americans and the theft of their land by European colonialists, then subsequently slavery. This grim reality is far removed from the fairy tale version of a nation that views itself in its collective consciousness as a virtuous universal agent for good and progress. The most recent version of this mythology was expressed by Ronald Reagan when he said that “America is a shining city upon a hill whose beacon light guides freedom-loving people everywhere”

SOUL SUNDAY

What's up its Mrs. Toons! My selection today is Minnie Riperton she killed it on soul train with her 1975 single "Loving you" she was born as Minnie Julia Riperton on(November 8, 1947 – July 12, 1979) was an American singer-songwriter.She was married to songwriter and music producer Richard Rudolph in 1972.
Minnie riperton was known for her unique voice especially in "loving you". Which I think she paved the way for singers like Mariah Carey. She also made hits like "Back down memory lane" ,"inside my love" & "every time he comes around"

In January 1976 Riperton was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a radical mastectomy. By the time of diagnosis, the cancer had spread and she was given about six months to live. Despite the hard prognosis, she continued recording and touring. She was one of the first celebrities to go public with her breast cancer diagnosis, but did not disclose that she was terminally ill. In 1977, she became spokesman for the American Cancer Society. In 1978, Riperton also received the American Cancer Society's Courage Award which was presented to her at the White House by President Jimmy Carter. She died young at the age of 31 on July 12, 1979. Leaving two children behind. Life is short, embrace every moment! Stay humbled.

"From his woman to you"

Before the infamous Female rap battles like
Nicki minaj vs lil Kim

Lil Kim vs foxy brown
Roxanne shante vs queen latifah....

There was a very famous old school battle version of Barbara mason
& Shirley brown "woman to woman" but it wasn't over who had the hottest lyrics or who was the baddest chick. They were fighting over love,the love of one man & who was #1 in his life. Barbara Mason made a comeback to Shirley Brown with "From his woman to you" Not sure til' this day if they were really battling but they were very convincing & touched a lot of females who could relate... You tell me who wins this one?? The wifey Or Sancha??My opinion the wifey always wins..

She sang songs like "Bed and Board," "she's got papers" and "Shackin"... She also made so many known hits like "oh how it hurts", "you never loved me at all", " I am your woman","I need love" she was real and knew how to touch her audience.
