For the Brothers..if ever someone could read your thoughts .. (768 hits)
I just want to share this website. Sisters please don't kill the messenger! I think someone is telling it raw and real. Suddenly it's not the brothers,who are to blame.
Isn't it something!..the bell, the bell is ringing..

Dr. Hines--i don't think there is anything new..but useful yes, why are our sisters destroying their beauty? u have to go through the site. Blonde hair on dark skinned sisters? fake nine inch nails? mutilating themselves? the difference is that someone (a black man) is telling them, that black beauty is not measured by white imitation..i for one had never seen nor thought much about it, so the site is making me think, that is what is "useful" to me.

Excellent. Good feed back, Jackie-- because I was shocked at some of the things that were placed in a different prespective from where I usually measure culture.

Dr. Hines, what is new? I would not blame Black women for the deterioration of the status of way too many Black men. Let them take responsibility for their own actions, they have free agency, since it's a "Christian" site.

I don't think Dr. Hines likes the site. (LoL) I don't like the way they are bashing Miss Piggy. I loved Miss Piggy as a kid. What is wrong with black girls and black women being confident in themselves?

Marta, The site even went off on Angela Davis. ...No one has formally scrutinized Angela Davis' legacy but blacktown.net ...
...DON'T LET HER AFRO FOOL YOU!! 1960's radical Angela Davis has a long history of social activism, yet many people don't realize just what her philosophy is; and it is NOT FOR THE EMPOWERMENT OF BLACK PEOPLE... ...The biggest thing wrong Angela Davis did was vehemently oppose the Million Man March of 1995. This act alone certified her allegiance to Women's Lesbian Liberation and not to the rise of the Black man....
I have no idea..confident? explain Jen...what was he saying? if you are dark as night bleaching your hair blonde is not confidence!

..yes on Angela's Legacy? I thought I made myself very clear --Angela Davis is an European construct..her fight against oppression stems from her learning, of the Communist Manifesto. Please notice I was nice and did not say her "indoctrination." LOL..my research uncovered the opposite of media coverage.

...MISS PIGGY SYMBOLIZES AND EPITOMIZES THE "STUCK ON HERSELF", INDEPENDENT, FEMINIST DIVA. A WALKING, TALKING MOCKERY OF WOMANHOOD. NOT BEAUTIFUL, PITIFUL. AAAAAAAMEN!!!....
...WHAT IS A WOMAN'S PLACE? (HERE'S A CLUE): THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME... HOME SWEET HOME!...
Blacktown.net is a Hot Mess (LoL)! Thanks Marta for the post, because I am finding it quite entertaining.
