Will we ever see another black female artist that actually looks like a black woman?

[AntiVenom]

Okay then, show me this good majority.

You have an internet connection. Go to any black female blog or forum or website. Anywhere that you can find a congregation of black women, they spread that message. Go search because Im not interested in going putting in that level of effort for you, bytch.

Enough to see them on my day to day.

Especially in Facebook and Twitter.

It's become a motto for many of our women.

Isnt it funny how they like to play stupid when we shine the spotlight on them?

I fukking cant with these liars.

Only on the Coli is Ciara "ambiguous"

Is this a black woman to you

 

[AntiVenom]

I hear this when people are speaking of slavery times. Yes, Black women were resilient and our strength and independence helped to get us through slavery and out of slavery.

More like 100% of the time.

This is the battle cry of the black woman. Strong independent and "dont need no man". I'm going to make sure that you live by that creed. Even when its not convenient.

The ironic thing is most black Americans are mixed anyway. Even if your dark, with more "African" features. I honestly wonder how many "pure breed" African "African" Americans are running around in 2015 that have ancestry steaming off the boats?


I wager to bet not many, but we'll stand around and argue about if someone looks mixed, "black" or whatever. The problem is some mixed blacks want to claim to be all kind of races instead of just saying there black. And the more traditional looking blacks what to say who's black and who's not. If we all accepted that if you have black in you your black then, things would be simple.


How many white people with all kind of different races in there blood line do you think choose "other or mixed" with they fill out paper work?

They check that box Caucasian without a second thought


It should be the same for black folk.

We are so divided on everything....What it is to be a women, our own people, what it is to be a man.

Its really sad

Is this a black woman to you

Close enough.

And she identifies as such. Thats more than enough for me and most others. Now if she didnt then things may be different.

Is that a black woman to you

You aren't AA or American, you don't know what our phenotypes are

I have plenty of fam without exaggerated features. No one is mistaking Ciara as another race.

Then theyre idiots to let their women skate like that.

Its definitely chattel when all of the responsibilities are one sided. fukk that and I dont envy them. We arent your mules

But I bet you have no problem living in their communities and countries to enjoy the fruits of their successes, right?

BM have blown this out of proportion over the years. How many BW were saying this and how did they come to represent a good portion of the Black female population?

It's not blown out of proportion, it's swept under the rug. People are just now calling it out, but women have been getting a pass for decades. It's not about the one's saying it, it's about the one's living it. Over 70% of black babies are born to single mothers. Seems like a good portion to me. This single mother epidemic is directly related to this "I don't need a man" mentality. For the last 4-5 decades black women have been running around having babies by men who don't really love them and haven't committed to them because they can fall back on the system and get by.

I know that you'll come back with that "it takes two to make a baby....why don't you say something about black men abandoning their kids" deflection but that's beside the point here. You said women follow men, but the problem is that black women followed white men to being reliant on his system.

different degrees of mixed, someone can be mixed 5 generations ago, and someone can be mixed by parents / grandparents totally different

I get that, but my point is that the concept of race isn't about purity and all of that. You're only confusing yourself with the way that you're looking at race. Black is and always has been a general very inclusive term. Denying that because you don't agree isn't going to change anything. There's really no difference between mixed and black. Mixed folk who are visibly of African descent are classified as black. It's like that whether you like it or not.

We've had to say it because the many in the male segment of our population are... fill in the blank.

Not in the least.

And neither do you because I dont see you going to the 3rd world or the hood to fix things up and eat that shyt sandwich. Preach to me when you do.

Either way we owe you nothing and we are not your mules. Get your work gloves on or shut the fukk up.

Is this a black woman to you

A black woman brainwashed by white supremacy into polluting her gorgeous natural features by chemically altering her hair then coloring it blonde, but a black woman nonetheless.

Black women indoctrinated by European standards of beauty are still black man lol.

Ciara would look even more bad natural though.

She's a mullato to me. I could mistaken her as a Moroccan

What you, one person, sees is not enough. Show me where this attitude is so pervasive that it was uttered out the mouths of at least thousands of BW and led to negative consequences for the Black community.

 

[AntiVenom]

See tis is the issue.

And we need a campaign to fight that mindset. I'm more than happy to contribute so we can finally combat this bullshyt.
