I am a black woman who is very aware of the suffering of our black race in regards to intimate relations with one another.<BR/><BR/>I found this video to be very comical in its lunacy, its blind miinterpretation of the bible. I am not Christian,one of the reasons is that soo many peoples of many diverse backgrounds use it as a platform of hatred. Using the bible in one hand and cursing in the other, these knuckle dragging invidiuals need AA! However, in finding the sheer magnitude of ignorance that these so called "men" spit, it is so obvious that they are suffering from self hatred in the worst way. They all look homely and just plain ol nasty, no black woman would even want them. IN regards to the comments on "killing black women", these "brotha's" should be VERY CAREFUL who they threaten, sistah's by far are no slouches in terms of protecting ourselves or our daughters! <BR/>I felt that this was more than a blatant attempt at black women bashing but also an underhanded layer of homosexual desires from these men. They suffer from a lack of true self love and maybe a desire to be with one another.<BR/>I find their rhetoric insulting to us as black women, who would want to have THEM as apart of OUR RACE?? Embarrassing.<BR/><BR/>I wish all the Sistah's well and mo' peace.<BR/>PriestessAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15594215683319250476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28948486.post-40939712739475683252008-07-25T19:46:00.000-04:002008-07-25T19:46:00.000-04:00This video sounds very homoerotic.

"Nothing brings out manliness than the company of women" "A [woman]is the seat of wickedness", and I bet you money that heterosexism is the bedfellow of sexism.<BR/><BR/>It's sad, but the oppression that some black men feel is often repackaged and pushed down to black women. Instead of liberating themselves and all people to gain power they get to feel a quick high from ruling over, subjugating and outright abusing black women.<BR/><BR/>What happened to loving kindness? Is that not a tenet of the God they serve?

The reason for this is the tastemakers (editors, advertisers,publishers,reporters,vjays,movie directors,writers etc) each group decides what they think people will like or what they consider will give them an edge in getting acceptance, in the West (USA,Europe) the images are white first of all basically because they have to please their audience and it moves down the line. <BR/><BR/>A number of men are exposed to these images first and consistently and this creates their taste and prefrences. Like food. I once met a man who was in Milan for a business trip and said he would never go back there because he hated the food. Its about exposure you will find someone else who loves Italian food and its because he/she has been exposed to Italian food. <BR/><BR/>In the early days of Colour T.V technically, light skinned models were prefered because they could be seen easily. Its only now with alot of technology that it is much easier to achieve great results with darker skinned models. <BR/><BR/>I also think that having a lot of self confidence and looking sophisticated makes a whole lot of difference and the images you see in some parts of the world of men and women are not complimentary except you are fortunate to be part of the glamour or corporate world. <BR/><BR/>I use myself as an example before an event those who see me in preparation cant recognise me once I have to get on stage but this is because I understand the power of the right image. <BR/><BR/>Its very complicated because human beings are ruled by so many biases, influences, cultural affiliations,etc. and media is so powerfull and influential. <BR/><BR/>Wow too long!Natures Gentle Touchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03893139504213658184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28948486.post-26152728753360993042008-07-16T13:40:00.000-04:002008-07-16T13:40:00.000-04:00Naija babe is so right.

I once had a man exclaim loudly to a white woman putting money in a meter, as I exited a building, "Now THAT'S a sistah! She can DRESS too. You look GOOD!" <BR/>And another ask me: "Did anybody tell you are the ORIGINAL Black Woman? You look beautiful!"<BR/><BR/>Perhaps it's age? Perhaps it's environment? Perhaps it's a huge gap between those with common sense and self worth and those without? In any event, I didn't watch the video or clink on the link. I agree that passing this type of garbage around perpetuates the stupidity.<BR/><BR/>Men who self-hate or criticize a darker-skinned woman for her appearance have extremely low self worth and low self esteem. It's pathetic, their hate for themselves couldn't be MORE OBVIOUS, and it's a sad trainwreck to watch, really. It's too bad.TiffJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781893986200397664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28948486.post-20422247861567030082008-07-12T16:29:00.000-04:002008-07-12T16:29:00.000-04:00"This is absolutely the biggest piece of BULLSHIT ..."This is absolutely the biggest piece of BULLSHIT to ever fall out of the mouth of a black person". The statements were wild and full of sh*t, but, there are worst things to be said. However, that is the way of those at the top. They will say whatever they need to in order to stay where they are or go further. There is only one way that I know of to end it - boycott of their product. We must first find out who's who and then follow what they produce and subsequently stop buying the bullsh*t.<BR/><BR/>"That said, look at the men in the video below, what could make them have so much hatred for black women."<BR/><BR/>While it's good to get info, I only watched about four minutes of the tape, too much nonsense. Unfortunately, it is from videos like this that helps put Black women down. We see it and then pass it around. I suppose by showing it, it has more impact. Personally, I would have rather heard you describe the situation instead of the free publicity and "furtherance" that they will receive. Brothers like that need to be run out of town. Neither here nor there.<BR/><BR/>I don't know why SOME Black men hate Black women. I'm not one of them. I cherish the ground that you walk on - light, dark, plump, fat, skinny, short, tall - I love you all. We must stop listening to the music that puts Black women down. We have to boycott it. We have to write letters, blog about it, pass the word on. <BR/><BR/>In the event that you missed it - I, Black man, love you - Black woman, heart and soul and for forever.
