Hate on Me Haters – I Got (Hate) Mail!
June 1, 2010 Leave a comment
Well, like a true star, I must be on the verge of really hitting my mark in the world of reviews. I’ve written a ton of reviews over the past few years and have gotten some comments but today was the first day I got hate mail! Yeah, I’m kinda excited, it’s nice to know someone is so irked by my words of image and lifestyle that they’re willing to take 30 or more seconds out of their life to attempt to besmirch me. But they at least noted how ‘articulate’ I was. I guess it’s because homosexual-leaning black males aren’t supposed to be literate or capable of speaking and writing so eloquently as I do? Anyways, a while ago I read through an advance copy of Joyce Meyer’s new book “Eat the Cookie…Buy the Shoes: Giving Yourself Permission to Lighten Up”. I wasn’t all that impressed with the book simply because the concept was so simple that she said everything she had to say in the opening chapter and everything that followed felt unnecessary and repetitive. Anyways, this is a comment I received today on my Amazon.com posting. And no, I didn’t change any of the user names because I don’t care and I guess this person doesn’t care to be featured on my blog for their wonderful comment:

Gardenia says:
Your review is thoughtful and articulate…but based on your other reviews, and I read a few, I am wondering why you would read Joyce Meyer. Her message is considerably different from the life you seem to be living.
She is against homosexual “christian” lifestyles.
My response to Gardenia via Amazon.com:
Oh, I’m sorry, I guess I missed the forward or pre-requisite of closed-minded, bigoted heterosexual “Christian” since you believe that’s the only audience that’s allowed to read a book by Joyce Meyer.
Oh, hilarious! So, I see that first of all, “Gardenia” goes by the nick name of “Jackiefaye” on Amazon.com and lives in South Carolina. She sounds wonderful. First of all, let’s review my other HOMOSEXUAL reviews from the past few months that she apparently looked at: “Sex and the City 2” soundtrack, “Glee, Vol. 3- Showstoppers”, “In My Father’s House” by E. Lynn Harris (which was a pretty gay book), a book about building a good portfolio for artists and photographers and a review of a Norelco body groomer. Yes, I’m sure my big ole gay reviews of things like ‘Glee’ and music from ‘Sex and the City’ count me out as Joyce Meyer’s target audience.
My other point, why is it when white people find out that not all black people are illiterate ‘Maury’ guest worthy they toss in the word ‘articulate’? As if they’re thinking, “Wow, you mean … black people are capable of writing in complete sentences, with punctuation, with words and not ebonics?! That negro sure is articulate for his kind!” And is Gardenia, aka Miss Jackie Faye of South Carolina, Joyce Meyers’ spokesperson? Personally, I don’t think sexuality is something anyone should go around trying to make themselves a defender or speaker of. I mean, most of the worlds issues haven’t really begun with homosexuality – it’s begun with crazy ass heterosexuals. Why do we die? Why do women menstruate? If we go by the Bible’s standards, wasn’t it because of a heterosexual couple? Christian crusades. I think those were begun by heterosexuals. And let us not forget about the true evil of the world: VH1’s Rock of Love. That is straight-up a concoction of twisted, evil, unbridled heterosexuality that should have been stopped by the little good that’s left in the world.
Anyways, I’m glad I was articulate enough for Gardenia aka Jackie Faye of South Carolina to feel the need to spew her verbal hatred diarrhea all over for me to laugh and be amused by. It was enough for her to check out my other reviews so I appreciate the extra hits. Hey, I think you’re doing something right if you start getting hate mail, especially for something like being “articulate” and a homosexual Christian. Oh the horror! Oh the thought! Lord have mercy on us! Now I know how Madonna and Lady GaGa feels.
