Monique and Whoopi are two .......(Power House Women) whom I respect beyond words. I know that when you say things that upset people, you can place yourself on a brick of ice (Being Blackballed); but sometimes you have to go there. I am displeased to hear the names of Oprah, Tyler, and a few others in this particular light; but I truly hear what the message is crying out to say. If I have given all that I am to the fans, then I would desire to be paid as if I did have blonde hair and blue eyes. I would not want to be sitting on my butt when the ice melts to the ground; but reaching to take the out stretched hand that is helping me up when I tell the truth.
