More often than not it seems as though some media brands take extra care and time to ensure that Black Women are portrayed as violent, sex crazed, out of control, gold digging, man stealing, fatherless, baby mamas, self-absorbed, self hating, uneducated, unemployeed, unloved, unwanted, borderline psychotic females. I’m just saying. Gone are the days of positive black female role models. Who’s to blame, the media that puts it out there, the black women that take pleasure in acting out, the sponsors that support it or is the truth of ourself images exactly what we are shown or told it is? As mothers, aunts and grandmothers, are we more interested in competing with our daughters or are we supporting them and guiding them to the next level of success? Maybe I’m making to much of it. Maybe I’m just tripping, but when articles like the one below are printed, I feel compelled to speak up… If it’s true that no one likes the black girl…the black girl has to LOVE HERSELF enough that she will push through the B.S. After all WE ARE A TREASURE TO BEHOLD…….I’m just saying

and the black guys
like them, too.
But no one likes the black girls.
