Comments
I wanted to comment on the "comments" made by members regarding Tyler Perry's book, "Don't Make A Black Woman Take Off Her Earrings".... I have not read, but indeed plan to purchase and read the book. In reading some of the comments submitted by many, whom "I believe" were attempting to express disappointment and/or negativity in their review of the book... It was difficult to tell from the broken way they attempted to pour salt on Tyler... Many of these people, apparently have less than an elementary grasp of reading and/or writing as their so called "comments" exhibited clearly.... Some of the grammar and pitiful spelling errors were no less than moronic. The painful use of "i" in referring to themselves confirms my observation... The first rule of expressing an idignant point of view should be "proof read" and for goodness sake, use "spell check". Yikes!!!
