This is how I feel when they try and ram down my throat that Gabby Sidibe is "cute."

THERE..ARE...FOUR...LIGHTS

 

Post for the Win.....

 

Damn! That's deep!

What is wrong when BW are pushing her as a new symbol of Black Womanhood. What the fuck went wrong? This shit pisses me off. There are talented beautiful Black actresses who are being ignored and getting the shaft. :smt081

 

It's not just BW pushing her, it's white media too. Particularly Hollyweird. They have to push the myth that anybody can make it in Hollywood, it keeps the fresh meat coming in. As an image-driven industry they have to prove they're not shallow and can embrace anybody. They tried to remake a Hattie McDaniels moment when they gave Jennifer Hudson an Oscar she didn't really deserve (Eddie deserved an Oscar for "Dreamgirls" but got robbed), but Jennifer didn't stick to the script and stay fat. They stumbled over themselves to give Mo'Nique's fat ghetto ass an Oscar though. True to form.

There is a whole subtext to "Precious" that you can see even if you haven't seen the actual movie.

 

Thus Jabba honoring the award to Hattie McDaniel. And good looking, starving artists get fucked over.

 

I'm gonna have to start callin' you Reverend.

Speaking a lot of truth.

 

There is a movie coming out called "The Help" about these Southern white women and their black maids circa 1960s. If there's a fat black woman in the cast, she will be nominated for an Oscar that year, watch.

 

And these "Strong" BW are too stupid to see that they're being made into a mockery.

 

I think the turks guy hit it on the nail. Instead of focusing on "our own corner" it would be much more proficient to attack the problem at it's source, the acceptance in mainstream. We have BET and Black History Month, to band aid fixes that only separates instead of unite. Instead of black history month, we should be focusing more on having black history in the history that's taught everyday, not it's own separate month or category. The same with BET, instead of having our own channel, we need to push to have black male and female leads in television shows that's showcase all across the networks. The same applies here, instead of getting mad, (and thus revealing her racist nature within herself), attack the source of the problem. Turks definitely brought up a point I've been believing in for a while now.

 

No they are desperate to be validated by the media they way they think white women are.

 

basically

if you cant accept white women in Essence mag, you should not champion black women for 'Vanity Fair'

See what Jenny Craig can do for you!

 

The best looking one is the one at the bottom left with black hair.

 

The logic behind it is absurd to say the least.

 

Karma is on a roll, today, but then again, he always is.

 

Amanda or Kristen, the red head is nice too.
