yeeeeaaaaahhhhh... she totally lost me on this. i kept thinking it would turn around, or maybe there would be an underlying message... NADA. it's so hard to find contemporary fiction that addresses the Black experience in a way that doesn't leave ...
Well first you have to stop making them think they are "exotic" in the way white people want u to think exotic means. We are all exotic. Exotic means foreign. It means from another part of the world. Spanish girls dont look foreign, they look like...
I read the entire book and the sentiment was the same throughout the entire book. I am disgusted. Point blank period. Told her that, and i'll tell nebody that.
Thank u sista! I'm with u on this.I stopped reading the post becasue the ignorant white wannabes were annoying me. Back to the book. I feel you 100%. Black (if it wasnt directly from the continent) meant evil and everything white was right. There ...
thats funny. lol. i havent been on here in forever. they removed my micahel jackson post and that was it for me
I admire the fact you said it to her face but damn! Did you have to call her a whatless whore?
BTW Where have you been? You know somebody was accusing me of being you. It would have been nice if you dropped in and kept me from taking that flack.
I think that she really threw us under the bus with this one! I thought this was going to tell me how he ended up being the big drug dealing loser that he so very much frowned on every black male in his hood for. I wanted to know how he ended up w...
i know this is a dead thread but being someone who admits when they are wrong, THIS WAS A HORRIBLE BOOK!!!! lol... i didnt even finish maybe the last 50 pages or so it was just baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad lol...
A part of me was wondering if maybe she is trying to make us see the worst in ourselves. I don't know. I still don't get it. One thing I can say is that this book has inspired me to look for a book that portrays a postive African American figure. ...
I just recently bought the book for myself and a friend. He finished it and I just couldn't. This book broke my heart. I've met Sistah Souljah, she came to my former college. I had a lot of respect for Sistah Souljah. Although I may not have agree...
Yeah, I had people give me the same reaction. It was surreal.
Strangely enough, the only people giving me problems about my hair being unprofessional are my family and their black friends. No one at any of the places I worked at actually said anyt...
That bitch is trippin on some real real. Is showing some African Pride really that offensive to Caucasins? Do they think that some big Mandingo warrior is going to jump up on their desk and throw a spear through their cowardly hearts? Is shit real...
For whatever reason, some people in public have designated my hair as more "political" than "hip-hop-inspired." I get "Hey, Rasta man!" from old and young alike; someone hinted to me that it's because of "my roots showing" (which would correspond ...
God forbid the black image breaks through societal conditioning and takes the power back... Good grief. This women deserved all the backlash she got from this nonsensical fear-of-black-independence statement.
I wasn't talking about strap ons. I was talking about pretty transsexuals with dicks and hermaphrodites.
Strap ons are cool but limited.
I recently heard a name to describe girls that do that. "barsexuals"..lol

Midnight by Sistah Souljah
I was so excited when I heard that Sistah Souljah was writing this book "Midnight". While in my Afro Studies class, a female bought up how she portrayed black women in the book. The discussion went from sister to sister who had read the book. Each one had a differet stereotype and I kept thinking she was going to create that stand up sister that would help wipe them all out. Then one sister said what I didn't want to hear. That she had married him to a Japanese girl. That shit made my top fly of… Continue

Tiger Hoods said… - Creole means of mixed white/black descent. They are the descendants of slaves. The maroons however are those who ran away from the plantations, escaped as soon as the slaveships hit land or got freed by others in raids. They did some pretty amazing stuff, you should look that up if you're interested

Afro-punk is a platform for the other Black experience, the one we don't see in our media. D.I.Y (Do It Yourself) is the foundation.
