Black Girls Rock

Some white people dont even want black people to speak highly of one another and support one another. They are always crying about some imaginary reverse racism with their delusions.

What about BET

What about Miss Black America

What about HBCU's :

They have all of the privilege and advantage in the world, have their standard of beauty being dominant and yet, STILL be envious. Blacks go throughout their while day not giving people white people a single piece of mind even though we see them everyday everywhere, but we will be all over their minds and they barely see us.

So yes #blackgirlsrock is a movement that black girls are intelligent and beautiful and they should never feel any inferiority to any other race. I'm proud of the movement.

 

Great post. Wish I could rep you

 

Well shit

 

I agreed with these cats about the fact that blackgirlsrock is needed and relevant. Yet, somehow I got bitched at for the gif? The damn gif just expressed how I am tired of black folks. Ot being able to have anything without people complaing. WTF is wrong with some of these people?

 

And in addition to that I got neg repped for agreeing with everyone? I get a neg rep for asking a question in another thread. WTF kind of forum is this?

 

Hell if I know, I'm just here to troll these paste-eaters until I get banned

 

Most everyone has been fine. But, there is this small group that neg rep me for the weirdest things. I'm not here to troll, but I am rapidly approaching "don't give a fuck no more" phase.

 

Welcome to the club.....we're always accepting new members

 

Says the president of the club

 

Some white people are just upset that they can't create something like "whitegirlsrock" or put the adjective "white" in front of any causes they come up with without it being viewed as racist. Period. They don't think it through that apparently they don't need to use the adjective white or devote anything exclusively to white people because they have been so dominant in this country they have tended to be overrepresented in all events and all field anyway. That's an emotional reaction, an often prejudicial one, that keeps them thinking straight on this issue. Nonetheless there will be a time 30 years from now in which they make up less than 50% of America's population. Would it be acceptable for them then to create events and celebrations dedicated exclusively to white people without being seen as racist for doing so?

 

I'm thinking by then whiteness may not be a part of the consciousness at that point let alone any other "race" we'll have much bigger shit to worry about come 2045

 

Ask those white South Africans about that

 

I just find these things to be of such low hanging fruit.

It could do more harm than good when your socially designated ethnicity is the only way to feel good about yourself.

Why let anybody define you?

We're reaching a point of Americanity where race matters so much, it matters very little. This strange dichotomy is how Obama won two landslide elections. How could this be the same country where black girls are veritable Untouchables?

Why black people are so desperate for white acceptance is the question I would pose.

We all like to be accepted, by our peers, the in-group, or what have you. But people could use a brighter view of acceptance if you ask me. What good is being accepted and loved by another when you have no sense of your own intrinsic value? When your values are defined on some extrinsic basis having nothing to do with you as a person?

These events are cool, but they don't strike me as a means to achieve equality of representation. They're more geared towards egocentric back patting. Which isn't bad, but it isn't good either.

 

lmao

 

For that pink pussy...and to you know......not be shot dead by police during lunch break

Lol

 

The problem as another poster stated is that BET co-opted the phrase 'Girls Rock' which has been used by an international group whose mission is to empower young women through music appreciation and put BLACK in front of it.

Suddenly 'Girls Rock' which had open doors for all young women became 'Black Girls Rock' which by definition means its only for the empowerment of Black women.

I understand why BET caught some flak. They took something inclusive and made it exclusive.

 

If it were girls rock there would barely be any black girls there at all. Believe that

 

Careful, they still don't believe that affirmative action benefitted white women more than black ones

 

Just saying, BET should have named it something original and not ripped the name off from another organization.

Most of the blowback is over the name, not the organization.

It would be like BET calling their awards show the BLACK Oscars.
And nobody really pays attention to Miss Black America except for Ebony and Essence mags.

Is Jet still around??lol

Everyone understands the need for self-empowerment among Black youth, but when I was in college there used to be an expression; being pro Black doesn't mean anti-White, (which coincidentally White supremacists have ripped off and made into something twisted.:smt062)

 

My aunt still subscribe to jet lol I don't see it anywhere else , they can't be making real money on it anymore
