Sandra,
First let me start by saying that I am a very avid reader of your site. I feel that I keep coming back because I never know what I will find and I definitely like the sometimes investigative side that you put into blogging (which others do not), along with the various political perspectives that you take. I want you to know that I definately stopped drinking the kool-aid, but I beg to differ on a number of your conservative views although I find some thoughts refreshing and definately disgustingly hilarious that you faithfully watch Hannity’s show. Anyway, I wrote this email to let you know that I feel that your post on Desiree Roger’s was extremely disrespectful!!!!!! As Wendy Williams would say “LOOK DOWN!” lol, Im shocked and appalled that you would take it upon yourself to disrespect another black woman, who definitely has her shit together and label her as a “jump-off!” Where is your proof Sandra???!!!! Please I would loooooove to see it!!! As a black woman (like so many others) who continues to bust her ass to get ahead, and definitely not on my back or knees, but with my brain, I have to say that it is encouraging to see black women who have made it. SO, maybe you should think about that before you start throwing dirt, because we ALL reap what we sow!!!
Peace and Blessings,
Denee’
My sentiments exactly!
PRRREEEAAAAAAAACCHHHHHH Denee! I’ve been going at Sandra everytime she comes with the side ways posts about Desiree. She wasn’t known nationwide but she has long been respected as a great businesswoman and acknowledged for that in the Chi. She was always listed as one of the top 5 businesswoman in Chicago for as long as I’ve been checking for the list.
It’s sad that when a strong, powerful woman of color (THE FIRST ONE)gets this position, now she’s wrote off as the personal secretary, saying the position was made up especially for her, and that she’s a jumpoff. I am TEAM DESIREE all day.
Well said Denee. I like the site, but often find myself having to stay at times because the negativity towards professional and progress making African Americans is too much of a let down at times.
stay away.
Finally, a fan mail I can agree with. It really made me feel bad that you put this woman off as a jumpoff for no reason.
Glad you posted the letter. It kindve makes me feel you have changed your views on this woman.
I agree, and have asked before where do you get some of your stories because sometimes you just say things and don’t have any facts to back them up. I’m far from a blogger, but blogging is not getting a picture and then posting it with your own made up story as news. I could see if you had a little info to back up your story but some things are just pulled out of thin air or based on assumptions.
Although I agree with her 1000% about Desiree, can we PLEASE STOP ACCUSING FOLKS of drinking got damn KOOL AID! That gets on my LAST NERVE ON RESERVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no “a” in DEFINITELY!
^ LOL
Heard that Punchie!!!!
Totally agree with this fan mail! Lol, okay Daisy that will be retired with hater…
Great email … I totally agree minus the KoolAide comment. I don’t quite grasp why Sandra says it repeatedly.
@KC My nerves is bad I have a sinus infection and can’t breathe and haven’t had a good night sleep since Thurs so im on edge..lol
Daisy – girl I just got over a sinus infection. I can’t even concentrate when I have one. Get better girl.
Aw I hope you feel better! Don’t go postal!
I agree 100%. Pick and choose!!
She ain’t lying, Sandra you do LOVE to bring down black women
Feel better Daisy!!!!
@Daisy…I Agree!!!! Whatever tf that really means??? Just cause someone may not hate the president does NOT mean that they are drinking kool-aid. That bothers me just as much as Team (this person) and Team (that person)…damn you “The Game” lol
For every action there is a reaction. Make no mistake , Sandra didn’t call Desiree a jumpoff “just because”.
Sandra must have written this letter herself b/c I can’t imagine anyone actually taking her crazy post seriously
Good for Desiree, Denee and every other black woman who is holding it down! I am only concerned about our current President who will wind up being the worst Prez in history.
Hello all. Naima, I agree with you. Sandra may have written this email.(definately?) If not, I’m impressed that this powerful woman would take time to write on this blog. Maybe Sandra is trying to be more positive? Yeah for Sandra Rose. And for the record, I can’t stay away either. Peace out.
Thanks everybody. I did NOT get sick all winter soon as the sun comes out I am DONE!
@Terika I say Team (whoever)..lol I think its cute..lol
WOW ALL THIS KUMBAYA FOR THE SISTA-BUT THE SAME THING WE ACCUSE SANDRA OF MANY OF US DO TO ONE ANOTHER IN OUR DAY TO DAY LIVES AND ON THIS BLOG-SPECIFICALLY BEYONCE POSTS
BUT I’M JUST SAYIN-TOO MANY PEOPLE FLIP FLOP ON THEIR VALUES, VIEWS, AND/OR OPINIONS TO WHATEVER SUITS THEIR PURPOSE AT THE MOMENT OR WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK OR FEEL
@anti-PC,
“I am only concerned about our current President who will wind up being the worst Prez in history”
That could never happen cause “W” will forever be “Worst President” the USA has ever had.
Sandra is the only one that insinuates that that woman is fooling around with our president.
We have one pending and one confirmed swine flu in town. Me and some co-workers are thinking about starting a money pot to guess the day it comes to our hospital.

You may very well be right because from we’re I’m sitting– both of them will be fighting for that bottom position.
Glad to know you are at the bottom of the barrell as well Anti to give us a report
I just went to that loboutinsale dot com site…those shoes are questionable…
LOL @ Daisy! Crabs like company
@comment #25:
I agree how people are quick to flip-flop on values.
I don’t care for Obama … hell, I can’t stand his ass … but I can’t speak to Desiree. I don’t know anything about her or the job she’s done. And, just ’cause she’s a member of the Obama staff doesn’t make her bad.
@comment #22:
Obama hasn’t been in office long enough to be the worst president. There are several in history that I don’t think even obama can beat.
Where is da hell did Beyonce come from? So what, we all don’t agree that Beyonce isn’t our moon and stars in the sky above. Some people like her and some don’t. People have that right.
We know you’ll never be a flip flopper on your love of all that is Beyonce. Be proud of yourself.

It isn’t out of the norm for Sandra to say something “just because”.
@RTB I always wondered about that site and the CL shoes. Thanks for checking that out
@Peach In the words of my mama…A LIE don’t care WHO tells IT as long as IT gets TOLD!
@Daisy…
get better soon
I think the pollen count has something to do with sinus infections (not sure). I think is the time of year most people get them – beginning of spring and fall. Even my eyes were watering and I was sneezing and I’ve never had a sinus infection…several others in my family do.
Also, I’m making a conscious effort to stop calling obama supporters ‘kool-aid drinkers’. LOL. Kinda hard though … since I’ve got 30 packs of kool-aid in my kitchen. Still, I’ve notice how easily people get offended when I say “Do you drink kool-aid?” ROFL
As a black woman (like so many others) who continues to bust her ass to get ahead, and definitely not on my back or knees, but with my brain….

you betta tell it chile. tell IT.
how did beyakki come into this convo?
and what flavor is this supposed dayum kool aid i keep hearing about? as a child of the streets… i ONLY drink purple kool aid…yes i said purple.
SunnyPA,
Those other Presidents’ didn’t make the critical errors Obama has made all within 100 days of his ascending to the Presidency. Even Bush’s nutty behind had 8 years to screw us over.
a real avid sandrarose reader will know that this is what sandra does, she’s a hater, she hates on her own black people so sending in this letter makes no sense. we all know sandra don’t give props to black people. only if their her friends, I.E. monica, tiny, t.i, diamond etc.
diamond

@ Kwallace I like mine red… (not cherry thou. Tropical punch)… lmao
Everybody seems to be a lil uptight today.
Lmao.
What kind you want grape or red?
@ice I feel the tention on the post,
Oprach givng away free KFC… Oprah.com/KFC
No, the BEST kool aid is Grape (or purple..lol) mixed with pink lemonade with a little bit of lemon juice and lemons in it YUM!
Isc, it is a bit tense in here today.
@comment #36…
there ya go, KWalllace. Purple kool-aid is all I got.
@comment #37…
Maybe I’m going soft PC. I can’t hate on Obama today. Like Daisy I’m not feeling my best. Stupid me ran a marathon this passed weekend to show I still got it … well, I don’t have it and I’m paying for it.
@comment42
ROFL. I’ve got fresh lemons to go with my kool-aid
Yes I just heard that on the radio about Oprah and the free chicken. Somebody said the website is locked up and you can’t print the coupon.
Still drankin my koolaid…………………………..
my grandma used to put lemons in the kool aid..sigh
anyhoo. I like this site but sometimes there are undeniably wild posts. I’ve come to believe they’re just on for hits and clicks. The ones that have insinuated or outright stated that Desiree is the POTUS’s jump off are sad though because this is an example of the rampant hating we sistas like to do to each other.
Hating on Desiree is also hating on Michelle, for obvious reasons! This is a real shame and, in fact, this is not the only blog I’ve seen these kind of comments on.
Our own self hatred is really sad, sistas we have got to do better. Here are two strong, successful, EXCEPTIONAL black women we should be emulating and celebrating, not dogging out!
Desiree doesn’t deserve this and I’m sure there is nothing going on between her and the President, there’s no way that sort of thing would be going on undetected by now, what with Rush Limbaugh and all the other Obama haters skittering around trying to ruin things.
Emulate and celebrate
