“Dear White People Let me Help You. Here Is A List of Terms That Are Not Acceptable When Referring To Or About Us” troubles. It is because of his divisive and racist rhetoric we are on high alert and are ultra sensitive to the offensive origins of certain words and phrases.

1. "Uppity" A couple years ago, Rush Limbaugh pontificated that a NASCAR audience booed Michelle Obamabecause she exhibited "uppity-ism." Glenn Beck even defended him, citing the first lady's love of arugula.

Dear White folks, if not today, you will learn eventually. We are living in a time when conforming to a belief that language and practices that could offend political sensibilities (as in matters of sex, gender or race) should be eliminated.

Personally I think as a society we have become entirely too sensitive. Because of this new era of “political correctness” we are raising a bunch of “punk a#$ kids”. That’s right, I said it. That’s my opinion and I’m sticking with it.

It used to be as a student in school, you could call a kid who wore glasses, “four eyes”.

They’d get mad and maybe even cry a little. If they did happen to report the incident to the teacher she would tell them simply; “The next time someone bothers you just tell them: “sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me. Regardless they would be ok by recess. Not today. Today call a kid “four eyes” if you want to and you’ll find yourself with a four day suspension for “bullying”.

“Political correctness” has disrupted our social structure, our hierarchy created as a means of attaining and keeping order.

In other words the “Pecking Order”, that natural process that we had of working things out amongst ourselves.

That, alas, is a conversation for another column at a later date. For this column let me stick with the current topic, giving white folks a heads up about words or phrases they need to refrain from using.

Now if we as Black folks are honest with ourselves, some of the phrases or terms I’m suggesting that our Caucasian friends steer clear of really have not been a problem with us.

Case in point, the phrase, “you must be out of your cottonpicking mind”. I’ve heard, as well as used the term myself over the years. Not once did I ever take offense or consider it a racist statement.

Unfortunately, my pigmentally challenged friends, you can blame Donald J. Trump for your

During segregation, Southerners used "uppity" to describe blacks who didn't know their socioeconomic place. Originally, the term started within the black community, but the racists adopted it pretty quickly.

2."Peanut gallery" This phrase intends to reference hecklers or critics, usually ill-informed ones. In reality, the "peanut gallery" names a section in theaters, usually the cheapest and worst, where many black people sat during the era of Vaudeville.

3."Sold down the river" Today, if someone "sells you down the river," he or she betrays or cheats you. But the phrase has a much darker and more literal meaning.

During slavery in the US, masters in the North often sold their misbehaving slaves, sending them down the Mississippi river to plantations in Mississippi, where conditions were much more harsh.

4. "Eenie meenie miney moe" This phrase comes from a longer children's rhyme: Eenie, meenie, miney, moe / Catch a tiger by the toe / If he hollers let him go / Eenie, meenie miney, moe

This modern, inoffensive version comes from a similar, older one, where n***er replaces tiger. Rudyard Kipling mentions it as a "counting-out song" (basically a way for kids to eliminate candidates for being "It" in hide-and-seek).

5. Cotton-picking” The phrase "are you out of your cottonpicking mind?" seems to have a serious racial overtone, particularly against black slaves in the Southern United States, who were the pickers of cotton for much of American history. Cotton-picking is usually used as a stand-in for "damn," to make it more socially acceptable than swearing (ironically enough). If you're not from the South, you may have heard the adjective "cotton-picking" for the first time from a Bugs Bunny cartoon from 1952.

While I’m at it here are somethings you should never say to your Black friends or co-workers.

1. You look like the girl, or you remind me of the girl, or I was thinking about you when I watched the girl on [blank] television last night. #wealldonotlookalike 2. If so and so can do it (another black person) then I know you can.

3. You mean you don’t wash your hair every day???

4. “I’m scared to get pulled over too.”

5. I went to the beach the entire weekend and look, I’m

6. You’re different, not like them 7. You go, girl

8. I love NWA

9. Anything that ends with the term “girlfriend” when you’re not referencing a woman you’re dating.

10. “All Lives Matter – not just black people.”

11. Any phrase starting with, “So, do black people…”

12. We’re all discriminated against.

13. I don’t understand why you need to go to a legal conference for black women. If we had a legal conference for white men there would be an issue 14. This happened to my coworker who is black: Male Coworker: I want you to be nice today… not sassy

15. When you say something negative about black people and then say, “Not you but…”

16. “You have to understand Trump” 17. NFL players shouldn’t take a knee

18. You’re the prettiest black girl I’ve ever seen,”

19. Yo,” “Word,” and “Whattup” as a greeting whenever greeting a black person.

20. You should join our company basketball team. (They[‘ve] never seen you play.)

21. Are you real black?” meaning are both of my parents black

So there you have it. Now that you know better hopefully you will do better.

Vanessa Talley Barnes Is The Owner Of Bi-City DUI School Mrs. Vanessa Talley Barnes is the owner, director and teaches classes at BiCity DUI school.

just thank God. I can now finally take a big sigh of relief! I plan on focusing purely on Bi-City DUI School.

She attended Cusseta Road Elementary School, Southern Jr. High and Graduated Baker HS before going on to attend Columbus College. There she obtained a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice. From there she continued on at Columbus State University, obtaining a maters of science degree in Education. Majoring in mental retardation.

“The passion in teaching classes comes from home. As I often share with my classes. Alcoholism and drug addiction runs deep in my family. My older sister (the late Anita Talley) had this alcoholism disease. I witnessed how alcoholism destroyed her life. Although she had been sober over 5 years when she passed, she still suffered with failing health in the end.”

Mrs. Barnes is a native of Columbus, Ga. The youngest of 3 born to Eddie T. Talley and Rosie M. Talley. Mrs. Barnes has been a member of the Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Church all her life. She grew up in the Willis plaza community.

Mrs. Barnes then became a certified special education teacher at Central Elementary School in Talbot County school system then eventually teaching in Muscogee county school system where she retired after teaching for 30 years. Ms. Barnes loved working with the special education population. She did however have other interests in her career.

Ms. Barnes was an insurance agent for a time with insurance agencies.

Also, about 15 years ago she had an interest in teaching DUI classes which eventually led her to the idea of opening up her own DUI school. Ms. Barnes stated that she was fine working a DUI instructor for a local and surrounding DUI schools.

Bi-City DUI has now been open for 13 years. “I love Bi-City DUI school!

There’s nothing like working for yourself. Though the road hasn’t been easy.

There have been several times I thought I would have to close it. Being a teacher was very demanding and I had no time to invest into the business. I even pondered quitting teaching but the business wasn’t making enough money at the time to support myself so I prayed, prayed, and prayed and with the support of my mother, cousin, niece, other relatives and God of course somehow Bi City DUI school has survived over 13 years! I just retired as a school teacher after working 30 years and I

In the Risk reduction course, I love teaching about the effects of alcohol and drugs. People are often surprised to hear how much they weren’t aware about alcohol and drugs. They often thank me and other members of the staff here.”

“I also had a grandfather, and other family members who had alcoholism, drug addiction and sometimes both. I am happy when I train and get new updated material through the Risk Prevention Research Institute.

Bi-City DUI offers Defensive Driving Classes for people who need point reduction, license reinstatement, or reduced their insurance premium.

Bi-City DUI has big plans for the near future so please stay tuned and be on the lookout! Bi- City is on the way Up!

ASHLEY MAYER...OUTSPOKEN

but it still doesn’t feel like enough because, like I said, I’m always still told to do more. I still constantly feel like all my peers are doing more than me even though I’m doing pretty well. It is so stressful and agonizing to feel like I’m doing too little.

Stress is something that everyone can relate to. But are students put under too much stress? As a student, being under stress has become as normal for me as breathing. I have classes, essays, projects, things outside of those tasks to make sure I’m well-rounded, and my life outside of school. To me, this sounds like a lot, but I’m constantly being told that I need to do more. I have to do more studying, join more student organizations, get more leadership roles, get more internships, and do more networking. Of course all of this is useful because these are the things that will allow me to get a job when I graduate, but it often feels like too much.

So, of course, I do all of these things,

So why do a lot of students feel like they are not doing enough? Some may blame schools, while others may say that it’s only a problem within students based on insecurities. Personally, I think it could be both. Considering the role of schools, I think it would be more valuable to students for their advisors and professors to encourage them to go at a pace that works for them.

Otherwise, students have the risk of suffering from burn out, which is awful.

For instance, some college students are not going to graduate in four years.

Their reasons for doing so could be that they can’t take on as much of the course load at one time as someone who will graduate in four years. This is okay and more students need to feel like this is okay. This is not to say that I don’t think students should be pushed, but that more should be done to help students figure out what works best for them in order to possibly prevent so much stress. Considering that too much stress is just based on insecurities among students, schools and family members of students should do more to encourage students to practice self care and other healthy ways to relieve stress so that it doesn’t feel so difficult to be successful in school.

While we’re on the topic of stress among college students, is it possible that this stress from school adds to suicide and suicidal behavior among students?

Personally and based on what I’ve been taught about mental illness and suicide, I think school work is only a very small part of this because depression, along with other mental illnesses, and simple stress from school are very different.

Stress is something normal that everyone faces at some point, while mental illnesses are very serious and require some method or methods of treatment.

But could it be possible that academic stress plays a larger role in suicide rates than we think?

The feeling of not doing enough to be academically successful can very much to lead to one feeling hopeless. Many times, if students are not doing well, they will feel as if they cannot handle school. Also, many entering freshmen are used to do very well in school, and do not how to deal with not doing as well in college as they did in high school. These feelings can very much lead to overbearing amounts of stress among students. For some, this stress could possibly make the weight of school and life outside of school feel too heavy to carry, which could lead to suicidal thoughts. However, it is really important to understand that people battling these thoughts did not come up with these thoughts out of nowhere. These feelings take time to manifest and people thinking of committing suicide often leave signs in advance of attempting to do so. By this I mean, someone who says,

PAGE 11 “ oh my gosh school is so hard” probably just needs a break from school, which is a lot different than someone feeling like he or she really do need for life to stop. I keep stressing this because it’s very common for young adults and teenagers to romanticize mental illness and suicide, which is not helpful to anyone.

In light of this information and in relation to my earlier points, those working around students should make an effort to really find out how students are doing to ensure they are well and can continue doing well. Also, there should be more things done in high schools to make sure students can handle simple adversities in life. However, not all of the responsibility should be put on schools; students need to take care of themselves and seek help when they need it. For instance, some schools, such as Columbus State University, offer free counseling and is open to all students. And there’s nothing wrong with going to counseling. Personally, I recommend it to everyone!

Remember, stress is normal, but some people can’t handle as much as others and there’s nothing wrong with that.

With that being said, we all need to take care of ourselves and learn what works best for us.

Hey, Elected Officials: No More Chicken Dinners…We Need Policy are often treated like high-profile celebrities, rather than public servants who have the power to advocate for substantive policies that can literally change the economic landscape and quality of life of their communities.

One act of familiarity that has been a go-to-approach to reach the Black community has been the tactic of political candidates using certain gimmicks to solicit votes.

By Jeffrey L. Boney (NNPA Newswire Contributor)

It’s that time again. It occurs every year around the same time like clockwork. It’s election season.

Political signs infiltrate Black neighborhoods, placed by campaign operatives hoping you remember their respective political candidate come election time. More importantly, these political operatives are hoping your familiarity with their respective candidate will drive you to the polls with the belief that their efforts will translate into a vote for them at the ballot box.

Establishing familiarity is quite an effective tool, especially when it comes to creating a sense of connection with people. Now be honest. If connecting with people through establishing a sense of familiarity weren’t so effective, why would radio stations play the same song over and over again, or why would major companies spend an inordinate amount of money to consistently and strategically advertise their product or service to consumers on a regular basis?

Seeking to connect with people by establishing a sense of familiarity is one of the first things any campaign team tries to do to help get their respective candidate elected.

Have you ever noticed that during every election season, radio ads become more frequent, print mailers get sent out in bulk quantities and television ads get placed on any given network during key television shows in an effort to try and reach registered voters?

Politicians have long been staples in our community.

Many of them visit a church here, walk the block and knock on doors over there; kiss babies, shake hands and even give the Black community ‘stuff’ to get them to come out to the polls and vote. It is fascinating the way some political candidates scurry around during election season trying to solicit the Black vote so that they can get elected to a certain office or retain their current seat. It’s an art. Many of these campaign operatives and elected officials have it down to a science.

However, when it comes to developing key, solid policies that will help the Black community, many of these same candidates disappear—never to be heard from again—until the next election cycle rolls around.

Interestingly, many of these elected officials get a pass for doing nothing.

Now, if members of the Black community would be completely honest, they would admit that a lot of these elected officials

You know what I’m talking about; offering the Black community chicken dinners, BBQ cookouts, fish plates, steak days, gift cards, air conditioners for senior citizens, etc. Many of these politically-motivated gimmicks have and continue to be used to get Black people to vote for a particular candidate.

You know the routine. Black voters get out to vote, then there is very little reciprocity from many of the candidates towards the Black community, if they are elected.

Think about it for a moment and ask yourself some questions.

What evidence do you have to prove that any of your elected officials have actually advocated for you? Ask yourself, when it comes to developing sound policies and legislation for the Black community, when was the last time your elected officials drafted any policy or advocated for any legislation at the local, state and/or federal level that has positively impact you?

Now, you may have been invited to a fish fry, steak dinner or community social event, but ask yourself when was the first or last time any of your elected officials educated, equipped and informed your community about any key issues that is impacting them or will affect them?

Truth be told, the Black community has been short-changed when it comes to advocacy by many of their elected officials, regardless of the elected official’s race or ethnicity. Blacks have also been deprived of having progressive and substantive policies drafted by many of their elected officials.

In many cases, instead of talking to elected officials about substantive policies and key legislation, elected officials are often sought after to attend an event or take a picture with someone as if they are a Hollywood star, versus a public servant who was elected to serve the people. Again, it’s about familiarity.

The Black community deserves to be treated more like a partner in a serious relationship versus some fling on the side where politicians whisper sweet nothings in our ears in order to get the only thing they really, truly want—the Black vote.

The Black community must stop allowing disengaged elected officials to continue making empty promises in order to get their vote, and then turn around, close the deal (get their vote), and never hear anything from these individuals anymore until they need their Black vote again. The same thing goes for political candidates who don’t win when they run for office as well.

Elected officials are not highly-paid Hollywood entertainers.

Elected officials are public servants. The Black community must stop treating elected officials as if they are the hottest celebrity and start demanding sound policy offerings from them. The Black community must embrace accountability and adopt a realistic expectation of having their elected officials be the advocates they need to get things done and fight for them by any means necessary.

T h i s y e a r, t h e N a t i o n a l Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), a trade group representing over 200 Black-owned media companies across the U.S., is focused on encouraging 5 million Blacks to register to vote before the midterm elections. We need to elect politicians who care about creating sound legislation and being advocates for the Black community year-round.

The same energy and efforts that these elected officials use to get elected, or re-elected, should be the same energy they use when it comes to sitting down with the Black community to better understand our needs needs and advocate for policies that positively impact their community.

If the constituents of these elected officials have not progressed since they have been in office, and are no more advanced as a result of their leadership, it is time to start looking for new leadership.

Elected officials can keep giving out chicken dinners, BBQ cookouts, fish plates, steak days, gift cards, air conditioners for senior citizens, etc., but what the Black community really needs, however, are sound policies, legislation and advocacy from their elected officials.

Sugerencias inteligentes y saludables de aperitivos para personas en movimiento y adopte una referencia culinaria de esta región del mundo para aperitivos más inteligentes.

(StatePoint) ¿Su horario lo mantiene en movimiento? ¡Vea estas sencillas maneras de mantener el hambre a raya de modo saludable, sin importar dónde lo lleve su ajetreada vida, como en casa!

Haga mini comidas En lugar de comidas grandes y pesadas, piense en pequeños bocados. Combine sus proteínas, verduras, frutas y nueces favoritas en comidas “estilo aperitivo”, que lo dejan satisfecho, pero no bajo de energía simplemente por comer demasiado. Elija alimentos sabrosos para una satisfacción duradera.

Elija lo mediterráneo La dieta mediterránea es famosa por ser al mismo tiempo deliciosa y saludable. Así que sáltese las patatas fritas

Las aceitunas sabrosas, bajas en calorías y bajas en carbohidratos, ofrecen una gran pieza central para cualquier aperitivo. ¡Busque opciones súper fáciles como las infusionadas Olives to Go! de Pearls, que vienen en tazas portátiles con tapas desprendibles. Dado que no hay nada de líquido y no se necesita refrigeración, es una opción fácil para llevarla al trabajo, a la escuela, al gimnasio o en viajes. Excelentes por sí mismas, sus sabores incluyen Sriracha, Taco y Hierbas italianas. Para obtener más información, visite Olives.com/pearls.

Delicias del cajón del escritorio Estar sentado durante largas horas pasa factura. Haga una caminata todos los días para tener un resultado más saludable. Un pequeño aperitivo después es una recompensa bienvenida. Mantenga a mano frutas, aceitunas o un puñado de nueces para

evitar esa máquina expendedora de comida chatarra que hay en el pasillo.

100 calorías o menos es lo mejor Mantenga la atención sobre las etiquetas de los alimentos envasados y esté consciente de las calorías de sus aperitivos favoritos. Por ejemplo, 10 aceitunas grandes tienen sólo unas 35 calorías y una manzana pequeña tiene aproximadamente 75 calorías. Un huevo duro rico en proteína tiene aproximadamente 80 calorías y 10 almendras tienen 70 calorías.

Saber acerca de su comida le da control y evita arrepentimientos posteriores.

Busque productos envasados en porciones razonables, como las aceitunas Olives to Go! de Pearls. Con diversas variedades y un peso de 35 calorías por taza, es una opción por la que puede sentirse bien.

Pases de abordar Viajar en avión es ahora notoriamente carente de sabrosos aperitivos a bordo, excepto por unos cuantos cacahuates a menudo bañados en azúcar.

Empacar algunos aperitivos satisfactorios con buenas grasas y proteínas es

el truco para luchar contra los antojos en los aviones. Aceitunas, semillas tostadas y frutos secos, palitos de zanahoria crujientes y unos cubitos de queso pueden salvarle la vida.

El poder a la alacena Aquí es relevante lo de estar preparado! Mantener su despensa y refrigerador abastecidos con los alimentos adecuados es clave para ser un super experto en aperitivos, no un vago de los aperitivos, y esto ayudará a satisfacer los antojos y controlar el aumento de peso. ¡Ni siquiera permita que los alimentos chatarra entren por la puerta!

Una despensa bien aprovisionada debe incluir semillas, nueces, frutos secos, aceitunas en tazas de porciones y algunos aperitivos de cecina magra.

Abastezca el refrigerador con aperitivos de cubos y palitos de queso en porciones controladas, agua fría burbujeante, rodajas de verduras frescas, huevos duros y cubos de tofu.

Con estos consejos, estará listo para tomar aperitivos de gran poder y mantenerse abastecido de combustible para cualquier cosa que le depare el día.
