why she named him Omare


I would have never suspected that I would be writing about a song that I have so much disdain for in a supportive and comical sense. The line that caught my attention was “a trifling friend indeed.” That line brought one to query as to what type of woman this sort of person would be? I suspect if there was a woman, one who had a favorite author, then she may do anything to meet that author. This would even include having his child, unbeknown to him while she was supposedly engaged to another. Now this strikes me as being both sad and funny, funny because she even named the child after this person, who she had been meeting secretly while she was involved and deeply in love (on the surface) with her man.
.
One could presuppose that if one was engaged and truly loved another, there would be room for sacrifice and compromise, but she did neither. It was either her way or no way from they way the story has been told to me. There was not even any room for a relationship to grow since she could never accept doing anything for anyone other than herself, including be faithful and honor her family duty as a woman, mother and wife. But such would be out of the question, since she was a trifling friend indeed – what I consider no friend at all, since she named him Omare, and really appears as if she doesn't know who the child’s father is. But I told him he should be leary of any woman who has Kanye West Gold digger as the ringer for her telephone.

  2. "money makes the man"...interesting.

    this isn't a philosophy patented within the black community. this is the foundation of american society. the only difference is that rich folk don't suffer as much from this belief as poor folks do because they directly benefit from the belief.

    "man makes the money" is a message grounded in the belief that one is empowered to make his or her success regardless of the obstacles. unfortunately, with the numerous obstacles facing blacks in american and the victimized stance many of us have chosen to take, that particular message will be difficult to put forth.

    as for the song itself, i don't listen to the radio so i don't know the lyrics. from what i gather from your dawg's post, it's about some female cheating on her man who gets pregnant and then names the baby after the guy she's cheating with. i would rather hope this behavior isn't prevalent within the black community. not that i don't recognize folks are doing it, but i really don't think that's a large percentage of sistas.
