IF YOU ARE A BLACK MODEL YOU NEED TO READ THIS!!

Hey Luvs,

I found this video on worldstarhiphop.com and I thought it gave a great look into being a black model in the fashion industry. Its sad that here in 2010 an ethnic model isn't able to book the same jobs and campaigns as her white counterparts. Even though, black buying power is at an all time high some fashion houses still believe "black don't sell" and they are sadly mistaken. If we seen more campaigns with models that "look like us" we would be even more compelled to buy. Ethnic women are draped in Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada and other high end labels. Do they not understand some people didn't even pay they rent this month just to get the new Gucci bag or Gucci shoes. If our president is black than some campaign and runway models should be too! If you are a model or an aspiring model of color I advise you to watch this video...

My Response to Slim Thug "Black Women Don't Know How To Treat Their Man"

Hey Luvs,

I know I am a little late with this Slim Thug story but I just had to add my two cents. Here is another black man talking bout "how black women don't know to treat their man" that is absolutely BULLSHIT!! We hold our men down more than anybody! We understand more than anybody haow hard it is to be a black man in this country!! We post bail, take that long trip upstate, take care of ya kids and ya other kids, help you when you down.,let you sleep on our couch when ya momma kicked you out, help you get a job, support you at ya lowest and be by ya side at your highest. I am so sick of black men making white women somehow better than black women when it comes to treating their man. I know so many women who are ride or die for they man to they end and treat their man like a KING. Slim Thug goes on to say, "Black women need to stand by their man more. Don't put the pressure of  if I'm fucking with you, you gotta buy me this and that."  So white women don't demand money and gifts? They not gold diggers? They created gold digging! When did black men become so damn delusional?? White women in general are taught to marry up and date men with money who can take care of them. Do you really think Susie is with you just because of your personality? If most of the successful black men who date white women took a lie detector test they would be shocked to see how many are probably with you because of their money. Sorry NBA AND NFL players.

What is even crazier to me is when I talk to white men they always say they like to date black women because we don't feel entitled to anything like white women. While black men are saying the opposite..mmmm....let me think? (in my janiya voice) Is it that black men have jungle fever so bad that anything "Katie" does is better than "Keisha"? Or is it that white men see something in black women that black men have ignored.  I know for a fact that all white women are not Suzie the hell homemaker and don't try to dig for gold that's a crock of shit. I know all black women are not attitude having, feisty, disrespectful, gold diggers, who don't know how to treat their man. We all are individuals and to label a whole race of women is totally ignorant. Slim Thug comments were about black women so I guess is mama is included along with his grandma, aunties, sisters and cousins. I bet he would start to re neg if you asked him was he talking bout his momma too.

I just need for black men to stop making white women and any other race of women better than black women. You came from a black woman please show us some respect!!! If the black women you dated were terrible than so be it..but don't label all black women the same. BECAUSE WE ARE NOT THE SAME!Lastly stop this praising off the white woman shit. I am so sick of it. They may have some good qualities when it comes to treating a man and family. But understand they didn't have to go through the issues we do with our men and families. Most of them grew up with two parents and had a better example of how to treat a man. We were taught to be independent and strong hence the phrase "Strong Black Woman" have you ever heard "Strong White Woman"? Nope I don't think so. Most black women are raising their children on their own and in some cases taking care of grown ass men. We are the backbone to our race. Without us I think the black race would definitely be a wrap. We have to be strong and for that reason some of us don't know how to be "soft" or "submissive" because we are so use to be the dominant one in our lives. Don't blame us blame those black men for leaving us to be the "caretaker" and "provider" for our families.

In conclusion, we need to start respecting and loving each other a lot more and stop badgering and talking negative about our black men and women. Dating outside our race is not going to help us no more than talking negative about each other in the media. All I see is black men ain't ish..black women ain't ish..well than none of us ain't ish!! This type of talk just continues the crab and the barrel mentality and it gets us nowhere us a race. If we appreciated each other more than maybe..just maybe black love could prosper.

The Fat Ugly White Woman Syndrome

Hey Loves...

Now you probably thinking what is "Fat White Woman Syndrome" aka FWWS well its a syndrome that a lot of black men seem to be suffering from.  Sadly, I just seen this in my apt elevator and that is what inspired this blog write. So I am finally coming home from my Philly trip and  I am on the elevator to my apt and I see this not so bad looking black man with a not good looking chubby checker white woman. Now before I get any nasty comments I am not all against big women or white women!! But when I see my black men date outside they race it always gives me a sting of disappointment, hurt, and anger and as much hate to feel that way I just can't help it. I think of slavery, racism, colorism, the plight of black men, hardships of black women, the now damn there non-existent black family, and the millions of single black women dyng for a good black men. Now, I am not going to give you nasty looks or talk bad bout you and call you a sell-out or uncle tom because I believe in people having the right to do whatever they want. But when I see a black man especially a handsome one looking like a slice of chocolate black man heaven with an unattractive, overweight, white woman I am disturbed. My question is what do you see in her that you didn't see in an attractive more fit black woman?

The obvious is her complexion. The fact that she is white and not black. But is that really all you see? You rather date a out a shape, unattractive white woman just because she is WHITE? Or maybe you like bbw (big beautiful woman) but that can't be the case because their are plenty of big beautiful black women available. Or maybe its her personality? Maybe she offers you financial help or career advancement or stability,  etc? I don't know. But on so many occasions I have seen "Idris Elba" types with FUWW syndrome and it disturbs me. Becasue all I can think is, "This is who you like really?"

It has to be more to this FUWW syndrome that meets the eye. Because when I switch it around and I think of white men who date black women the women they choose always BAD! I have never seen a white man with an ugly outta shape black woman. Not to say that it don't exist but I am only speaking from what I've seen. For example Robert Deniro wife..BAD! Robin Thicke wife... BAD! Chris Noth (Mr.Big SATC) wife..BAD!! Chef Wolfgang Puck wife..BAD! George Lucas wife..BAD! David Bowie wife..Iman.. BAD! Gabriel Aubry ex girl Halle Berry..the baddest of the BAD! and there is plenty more where that come from. But when I go in look at the black men wives/girlfriend in entertainment they mostly are bare minimum with a small amount that I would consider beautiful. With so many attractive white women where is the Adriana Lima's ,Scarlett Johannsens's,  Meagan Fox's, and Jennifer Anistons's standing beside the black men who date white women.  I mean just look at Taye Diggs wife most I go even further. If you are going to interracially date why not get the best of the best. Like Seal and his beautiful wife Heidi Klum. #Imjustsayin There is so many questions that I have for the black men that I see that suffer from FUWW syndrome but most importantly my question is "Are you really dating her just because she is white? Because that's what I think...unfortunately



What do you guys think? Where do you think the FUWW syndrome comes from?

Is Princess Tiana a "real" black woman?

Hey my fellow BSB's,


 Lately I have been trying to plan my niece 4th bday party. Her theme was the movie "The Princess and The Frog" and I thought it was perfect now I regret it. Now, I took her to see the movie and I buy her all princess type toys so its only right that she loves princesses. But I've been going thru so much trying to find Princess Tiana party favors and Princess Tiana herself! Well a costumed character to play Princess Tiana for my niece bday. I envisioned her making this grand entrance while theme music plays in the back and my niece eyes just light up..and she says WOW!!!!LOL (which is her fav word anytime she likes something)  But I have not been able to find a GOOD Princess Tiana. They were either too old or not as cute or overweight had tattoos wasn't personable and other issues. It made me think about black women as a whole and the images that portray us are they really representing us? Good or Bad. Was Princess Tiana created based on what Disney "thought" a black woman should be like? Or is there any "realness" to her character? If Princess Tiana is suppose to represent a young black woman trying to find her way in the world why is this so difficult? I know we don't all have tattoos and are overweight or have a bad attitude, etc. I know they are young beautiful black women in the world who resemble Princess Tiana beauty and personality. But why has it been so hard to find her. And why when I talk to people about this situation they tell me what I'm looking for don't exist. Or better yet they make its seem like its damn there impossible. So I ask you is there really a "real life" Princess Tiana? Beauty and personality. And if she does exist can you please send her my way!!
