Gabrielle Union Speaks Out
Posted by Media Outrage on December 18th, 2009
Gabrielle Union is speaking about the Chris Henry tragedy and Tiger Woods scandal.
Via GlobalGrind:
Today we lost another young, talented, black man. Like so many men and women in this world, Chris Henry had seen his share of trouble and adversity…and just like so many other men and women in this world, he realized it’s never too late to turn your life around. How many more lives need to be lost before we realize that as good Christians (as many of us like to call ourselves), spiritual beings or just plain old good folks we need to STOP THE JUDGEMENT and try to lift each other up when we’ve fallen off the path.
Why are we all so quick to stop looking in the mirror at our own troubled lives…bad credit, lack of education or job skills, poor choices with the opposite sex, trying to live like Diddy when our homes are getting foreclosed, gossiping, jealous ranting or hating, or even not communicating with loved ones…its soooooo much easier to be obsessed with Tiger and Elin than dealing with our own troubled relationships…why get counseling for your daddy/mama/brother sister/relationship issues when we can hunt down a distraught woman and her 2 young children like animals??!! Why worry about how to pay for healthcare when we can laugh and joke about Lindsey Lohan. Journalists COULD do their jobs and sift through fact from what’s in the National Inquirer but why when it’s sooooooo much easier to print lies/half truths or straight up fairy tales to sell newspapers or magazines…forget about journalistic integrity when you’ve got to compete with the internet…who needs truth and compassion when we can’t wait for the next senseless tragedy or starlet scandal??!!
When will we come together and demand more from ourselves…more love and less hate…more fact finding than dirt digging…more lifting each other up and figuring out a way for life to improve than kicking people when they’re down…hold yourself to the same high standards we set for people on TV that we’ll never meet and don’t put food on our tables…be the person you always wanted to be…I’d like to think we were all born inherently good and on occasion make mistakes…stop looking in your neighbor’s backyard or Tigers’ or the girl who got the guy you liked or the dude who got the promotion you thought you deserved…we can only control ourselves…KEEP LOOKING IN THE MIRROR…that’s where the answers are that can truly change your life. In fact, lemme get off this damn blackberry and help my niece figure out how we’re gonna pay for college next year…tiger can’t help me with that…that’s all me 
peace and love and many blessings!!!
-Gabrielle
PS…my sister always says that bad things happen everyday to ppl all over the world…you don’t own the rights to adversity…whatchu gonna do now??…u betta stop bitching and get to work on urself! Kinda harsh I know but those words got me through the worst times of my life…I’m sharing now with you guys! Happy holidays…spread the love…it will come back to you!

I’m feeling home girl.. My father has a saying that’s so simple.. He always tells me to stay in my lane. Not to deep but it’s kept me focused exactly on my plans to reach my goals…
But Gab Union is def on point…

I understand where Gabrielle is coming from, but unfortunately the “looking in the mirror” thing is a type of behavior that has to be taught.
I worry and solve the things that concern me and try to help people when they are down but I’m always going to talk and joke about things celebs do. Not stopping that.

BRAVO, BRAVO but WHERE was the COMPASSION when she was STEALING ANOTHER WOMAN’S HUSBAND?……..What she really “NEEDS” is to LOOK IN THE MIRROR at her OWN LIFE b4 she evens consider the idea of telling others what to do!….I for one cannot stand HYPOCRITES like her. Practice what u preach & no I didn’t FORGET her SKANKISH WAYS!

i agree with you on this, people relationships are messed up because of people like her who have no respect for others who are in relationships, her mirror must be broken for her to make this statement…so she needs to think before she speaks…

She made some good points. But if the rumors are indeed true about her and D. Wade, then like MJ & somebody up top said, she need to check the man (woman in her case) in the mirror first. That’s like a Preacher not practicing what he’s preaching.

She kneels on a pursian rug of orange and yellow hue. She glistens with the after glow of honey and coconut oil on her silky skin. She opens her mouth to utter the phrase, “Why must I be so insightrul with thoughts as others are sullen in mind?’, She then proceeds to ….PUT ANOTHER WOMANS HUSBANDS JUNK IN HER MOUTH AND HURTS YET ANOTHER HOUSEHOLD. GET THE FUCK-OUTAHERE. STAY IN THE LIGHT AND DONT STRAY OFF THE PATH. YOU WHORE.
