Not really, but it would still be nice to know that there are at least a few black models out there that aren't :mjpls:
Guess to each their own. Personally, I’m not looking for anyone outside of myself to validate or uplift me.

As someone said, women need that affirmation, especially our own considering how they’re constantly under attack everyday just for existing.

Yes, we get it too but we all know it’s harder for our women. I have no problem with this. I wake up feeling that I am number one. Even when my gf tells me I am, I’m already on 100%.

Our women don’t have the same luxury when this country and the western world at large was built and designed to uplift white women.

I'ma sound like a hater but stop the feminist movement shyt during Black History Month. Black women have already been a part of Black history from Harriet Tubman, Sojournor Truth, Rosa Parks, Mary Bethune, Madame CJ Walker. etc, this divide and conquer tatic is so elementary yet so effective on too many of our people its sad.

Well the love letter is nice so I don't want to ruin the thread with an essay or an argument, and I do agree, but we can't pretend like black men aren't subjected to the same beauty standards but with white men.

Honest question, would a black model doing the same thing make you feel more validated as a black man?

I actually have a small playlist of lady R&B songs that celebrate black men, in general. It actually feels good to listen to sometimes; that’s coming from someone who has women in my life that give me positive affirmations and encouragement, often. That wasn’t always the case so I appreciate it more.

I definitely appreciate when black lady celebrities do it, but I don’t expect it.







Plus Jill Scott’s whole first album.

Two earrings and more lip gloss than a little bit.

Pass.
I know you joke a lot and say shyt that resonates with Brehs and I understand it because I know how this site can be to women so I know for some of the newer brehettes y’all try to stay on Brehs good side. but damn girl show some solidarity with brehettes at times too. When you first started posting on this site you did. :mjcry:

He’s not gay and this was a nice message.

Never thought I'd ever hear such crass talk from a woman, or that it would turn my stomach the way it did.

Never do this again sis.
I grew up with a ton of brothers and on a shytty farm at that. Don’t expect lady like humor from me unless otherwise.

Also get an enema if your stomachs hurting, could be constipation.
