We asked her. After viewing an article entitled "<a href="http://gawker.com/5926650/black-ladies-of-america-will-you-let-these-mormons-sit-at-your-lunch-counter" target="_blank">Black Ladies of America: Will you let these Mormons Sit at Your Lunch Counter?</a>" We decided to find out more about the woman <i>Gawker</i> alleged was inviting us to a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greensboro_sit-ins" target="_blank">sit-in</a>.<br /><br />When you hear the words, "black" and "lunch counter" we don't know about ya'll, but we envision something like this:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizlc9X6PxWwrNfrPmXeXFKgvgpShCEyNu-KpmCoHwy6bOQTtkgOwk9_dWk2dcLBJlSN2hJOEb7LuLJenxLMxY-iBOT-cxSvaB4jfA_Q8dL4MO8sZU5jaGv49qfHa_BYYjo4bItHKG4WKY/s1600/lunch-counter-sit-in-1963-granger.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizlc9X6PxWwrNfrPmXeXFKgvgpShCEyNu-KpmCoHwy6bOQTtkgOwk9_dWk2dcLBJlSN2hJOEb7LuLJenxLMxY-iBOT-cxSvaB4jfA_Q8dL4MO8sZU5jaGv49qfHa_BYYjo4bItHKG4WKY/s400/lunch-counter-sit-in-1963-granger.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So we contacted Jeanette to get all up in her business and ask her about the creation of the infamous title, the response it is getting and what she has to say about it all. It turns out that what Jeanette actually asked in <a href="http://jeanettegazette.com/?p=1701#comments" target="_blank">her response</a> was, "Can we sit at your lunch table?" Which is a good thing too, because we have already attended our maximum allowed sit-ins for the week.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">Apparently</span> some people have already answered Jeanette's question and told her NO, she can't sit at the lunch table. Excuse you? You don't own the table, who made you king of the cafeteria? Jeanette explains that in asking the question, she envisioned a school lunchroom full of tables with different people sitting down, walking over to one of them and asking can I sit here?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDnq-_ILdmHe-sVgaWWpUu3IaSddUZzlP_zYxdD5f4fOwHTFO-Dfuz5MN86gC0_b_WST3XXV2gKGOjLRYOeKjkk_o2KXUfq0fdGX1csMvva2hnEm_9RoBrXxwz8qgEn61ZToxcUNHg2Mk/s1600/school+cafeteria.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDnq-_ILdmHe-sVgaWWpUu3IaSddUZzlP_zYxdD5f4fOwHTFO-Dfuz5MN86gC0_b_WST3XXV2gKGOjLRYOeKjkk_o2KXUfq0fdGX1csMvva2hnEm_9RoBrXxwz8qgEn61ZToxcUNHg2Mk/s320/school+cafeteria.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, come on girl, sit on down, there's plenty of room, you wanna swap sandwiches, we got lots to talk about.

If you're not watchin', start watchin'. This is our recap of TMB: Week 1. We're breakin' it down Sistas style and keepin' it realz, here we go now!<br /><br />So in the <a href="http://www.themormonbachelorette.com/2012/07/season-4-premiere-is-here.html" target="_blank">premiere</a> we were introduced to four of the ladies who will be vying for Chris' eternal heart. The two that stood out to us were Natasha, she seems fierce ya'll, does roller derby and err thang, she will take Chris out if he don't treat her right. Now we also met Salina who is a sweet hometown girl. Salina said she had never been on a plane before, which reminded us of Ellie Mae from <i>Kanye's Work Out  Plan</i>. In Kanye West's song Ellie Mae is a girl that before doing his work out plan had never "rode a plane." (If ya'll go look up the song make sure you're listening to the edited version umm-kay!) The Sistas loving call Salina, Lady Kanye, we haven't seen her date yet, but we can't wait.<br /><br />Now on to the dates that we've seen:<br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj5eYJczWPjRYS43F-HjoO_v62h0I4Agh7h4AAfxkb-1aQsnI5xSQ-K6zvNrrtUOcgYhRI3hbAcLz3Lq1HLd1b0yPut_2Pzpo-b8IicDpKyU49g8DfDTpXBikuzQ-wUxT8gneTQuh4uZE/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj5eYJczWPjRYS43F-HjoO_v62h0I4Agh7h4AAfxkb-1aQsnI5xSQ-K6zvNrrtUOcgYhRI3hbAcLz3Lq1HLd1b0yPut_2Pzpo-b8IicDpKyU49g8DfDTpXBikuzQ-wUxT8gneTQuh4uZE/s200/2.jpg" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">DATE 1: TOUCHY-FEELY</td></tr></tbody></table><a href="http://www.themormonbachelorette.com/2012/07/date-1-tiffany-migdat.html" target="_blank">Tiffany Migdat - Date 1:</a> We <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/sistasinzion/2012/07/01/single-saints--mormon-bachelor-mormon-singles" target="_blank">meet Tiffany on Sistas in Zion Radio</a>, so we've got a soft spot for this girl with the bright smile. On their date you could see the chemistry. Chris was always touching her and putting his arm around her. Now Chris claims that he was putting his arm around her because she was nervous, but she didn't look so nervous that she was gonna fall over, so we think that all that touchin' and such was cause, well, he wanted to touch her. She seems like a girl that wears lotion and so her skin is probably soft. Please don't go getting the wrong idea though, all of Chris' touching was G-rated and <a href="https://www.lds.org/youth/for-the-strength-of-youth?lang=eng" target="_blank">For-The-Strength-of-The-Youth</a>-handbook  appropriate, he was a gentleman, we're just saying we're not buying the "because she was nervous" act. At the end of the episode Chris said that Tiffany seems high-maintenance. Chris, don't let a little maintenance scare you, Mormon Temples get closed for a few weeks every year for maintenance, so what's wrong if Tiffany treats her body like the temple it is? No man with a J-O-B should be scared if his girl likes to treat herself with a little T-L-C.<br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRvADxhIMfhL4r-6jfwWyLavH1aNozPpH6tZaFqf38Lc5EVJEaj0oPuz0h8azF0lm7Fe08mTo8QG1_MSYZHEnXHFfSNbnj-9UMfm43MVPDSj7D-EwkoEa3vANFaa1xXevFWFvNakki9V8/s1600/3.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRvADxhIMfhL4r-6jfwWyLavH1aNozPpH6tZaFqf38Lc5EVJEaj0oPuz0h8azF0lm7Fe08mTo8QG1_MSYZHEnXHFfSNbnj-9UMfm43MVPDSj7D-EwkoEa3vANFaa1xXevFWFvNakki9V8/s200/3.gif" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">DATE 2: BIG GIRLS DO CRY</td></tr></tbody></table><a href="http://www.themormonbachelorette.com/2012/07/date-2-jessica-bradley.html" target="_blank">Jessica Bradley - Date 2:</a> Jessica is an event planner and Justin Beiber fan, ya'll know that could lead to one fantabulous meticulously-planned-Beiber-fever themed wedding. We'll jump right to the hubbub, at the end of the date Chris did not call Jessica a "sweet spirit," but did say that he was not physically attracted to Jessica. Kuddos to Chris for being honest, no girl wants to be strung along, but that doesn't take away the sting. Watching it was a cringe worthy moment for the Sistas, and Jessica later said that seeing it herself made her cry, you can read what Jessica had to say <a href="http://theebergdorfbrunette.blogspot.com/2012/07/throw-your-sticks-and-your-stones.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Not to mention people took to the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2716790518921319695&postID=1363904012752710717&isPopup=true" target="_blank">comments section</a> of TMB in droves to give their opinion of Chris' opinion of Jessica. Having <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/sistasinzion/2012/07/01/single-saints--mormon-bachelor-mormon-singles" target="_blank">met Chris on Sistas in Zion Radio</a> we must say that he was a gentleman and does not seem the type that's into making girls cry. So our synopsis is that the let-her-down-gently department of Chris' swagger could use a little more finesse and that his tears-inducing-statement was not meant to be such. The Sistas are still rooting for Chris to find true love, after all nobody is perfect and he too, like Jessica, is brave enough to let the world see him date. That's reality tv people, the good and the bad.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1m8mKS7jVKoCZ-IUg4Plpst1RC1PjyVaqU5kdUNr4oHh4xZyxQV1icSxxHtXQst_YQTysSAqm2v63CH8LfujKF725NWHN6sq3EUJNW0R9FTHdjG1GoMH7Ofzi-BRLYSv4WQM11WFwSos/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1m8mKS7jVKoCZ-IUg4Plpst1RC1PjyVaqU5kdUNr4oHh4xZyxQV1icSxxHtXQst_YQTysSAqm2v63CH8LfujKF725NWHN6sq3EUJNW0R9FTHdjG1GoMH7Ofzi-BRLYSv4WQM11WFwSos/s200/6.jpg" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">DATE 3: DAMSEL IN DISTRESS</td></tr></tbody></table><a href="http://www.themormonbachelorette.com/2012/07/date-3-danielle-morgan.html" target="_blank">Danielle Morgan - Date 3:</a> Danielle might be our sista from another mista because she seems to love to laugh as much as we do. This date changed it up a little because Chris said that he was the one that was nervous. However he must not have been too nervous because he didn't ask Danielle to put her arm around him as he did for Tiffany when she was "nervous." Chris said that one of his favorite parts of the date was when Danielle was afraid of the snakes on the pier. He said in his post date blog post, " I like it when girls squeal and get uncomfortable after a date." Sounds like Chris might have a thing for damsels in distress. Chris how far distressed are you looking for, a girl that grabs onto you in a scary movie distressed or a girl that needs help getting the light bill paid distressed? In any case we think that Danielle will be getting a second date. PS: There is a rumor that there is some footage floating around of a random dance outburst by Chris that occurred on this date....TMB ya'll know ya'll need to release that asap!<br /><br />So that's the Sista's week one breakdown and as you can see even though there are no hot tub scenes and make-out sessions like the other bachelor show, even The Mormon Bachelor comes with a little drama.<br /><br />Questions: When it comes to dating is there such a thing as being too honest? Because Chris is Mormon is the public more critical of him than they would be a non-LDS reality tv bachelor? Would you go on a reality show to find true love?<br /><br />God is Love,<br />Sista Beehive & Sista Laurel
