A devil in disquise is living in the nation’s capitol…Autumn is a triple threat-very successful, extremely beautiful and tremendously talented. But she can’t seem to move beyond a tragic and turbulent past, allowing bad memories to consume her. She blazes down a path of destruction, leaving behind a trail of confusion and fear. Then unexpectedly she meets someone who offers her something she never had, love. Will she be saved from her past or will it take her down to the depths of hell? Then there is Cole, a ‘do right brother’ with a heart of gold. He is trying to get over a difficult past relationship until Autumn comes along. Can she bring him joy or even more pain as he is forced to set out on a soul searching journey for answers to his past? And finally Joy, Autumn’s best friend is focused on moving beyond her own past and constructing the missing pieces of her life but she finds it increasingly harder to ignore a deadly revelation that threatens to destroy everything she has worked to build. The lives of these three DC buppies becomes tangled in a complicated web of lies, deceit, and devastating secrets caused by the unlikely suspect who is hell bent on shattering the lives of her enemies.

The Benefits of joining a Hate Group
By George Cook www.letstalkhonestly.com
You know what I think racist are catching a bad rap here in America. Now I write this as an African American. Just because they hate doesn’t make them bad people. I mean they may just be looking for companionship or need a hug.
I mean if you stop and think about it there are benefits to joining a group for the sole purpose of hating others.
What can those be, you ask?
Well here are 10:
1. Many hate groups are Christian based so you can hate in the name of the Lord. Nothing like saying the Lord’s Prayer and then looking for some black, jewish, hispanic, or gay guy to beat up. Let the church say Amen!
2.The fact that you only have a GED makes you one of the most educated people at a hate group meeting . Everybody likes to feel superior once and a while.
3.The meetings are mercifully short. It doesn’t take long to say, “We hate everybody.”
4. Hate Rock. Nothing like listening to someone sing about hating and killing all non whites………..in German.
5. You get two flags to choose from. the Nazi Flag or the Confederate Flag.
6. In some cases you get to wear a sheet and not have to say something dumb like, “Boo!”
7. You get to say, “Nooses are not a threat to dem dere N*****” with a straight face and nobody in the room makes fun of you.
8. You get to read cheesy pamphlets filled with small words and crudely drawn pictures that you can actually understand.
9. You get to talk badly about African Americans then complain that your college team can’t win because it doesn’t have enough of them.
10. You don’t have to worry about being charged with a hate crime by the U.S. Justice Dept. I mean why would anyone see all the racist literature or the nazi tattoos and think you and your buddies beat up some black guy only because he was black…….
Now how lcan you look at all those great reasons and still think badly about people that join hate groups? Shame on you all!
