Black women called out...

The boys over at dallaspenn.com have this blog entry posted:

HOE SIT DOWN




I'd like to know people's thoughts on this topic. Personally, I tend to agree with the following comments:


"Who in the world told her it was that kind of party?...who raised this broad up so that when she would have her best chance to signify who she was as a person (fuck the whole Black shit for a second), this is what comes to her mind?...You are embarrassing me, and most of all you are embarrassing yourself"

I think these are the kind of things people need to think about prior to going out and "showing they're a$$" literally or figuratively.

Yet I disagree with the following:

"I blame Black women. It’s not like I could blame the men anyhoo."

This issue to me, is far more complicated than placing the blame on either black men or black women. It's about how you were raised; what outside factors affected your idea of what pretty is or what being sexy is; what you have been conditioned to think the opposite sex wants to see from you; etc. It's a much deeper topic than I'll delve into in this post, but I think it's something that needs to be brought up more often and discussed.
