I am glad we have a strong black woman who is beautiful and confident in herself to be able to embrace fully who she is and be able to defend it.
If I had , had a mother like her or who taught me how to be 'me' I would be just like her, successful and not living under disguise to please society with my 'hair'
Yes it is all about the hair.
You remember that beautiful girl who was representing her country in the Olympics and winning the golds. Yet all they had to say or see was that her hair wasn't done well enough for the public consumption. Which public? Sadly it was both black and white.
So it's wonderful to see Rhonda boldly defending her person.
Sadly she was fired for it.
I can only imagine what it took for her to have gotten that job in the first place. All that hard work.
Audre Lorde said it well, "We’ve been taught that silence would save us, but it won’t." Your silence will not protect your sanity, your pride, your heart nor your spirit. Keeping quiet about overt ignorance only reinforces its presence in our culture.
Learn more on the discussion at Harriet.
Meteorologist Rhonda Lee was terminated from her position at a Shreveport, Louisiana television station for responding to a viewer's insensitive comments about her hair on Facebook. Here are details of the exchange.
On Oct. 1, a viewer identified as Emmitt Vascocu wrote, "the black lady that does the news is a very nice lady.the only thing is she needs to wear a wig or grow some more hair. im not sure if she is a cancer patient. but still its not something myself that i think looks good on tv. what about letting someone a male have waist long hair do the news.what about that (cq)."
Lee replied the same day, "Hello Emmitt--I am the 'black lady' to which you are referring. I'm sorry you don't like my ethnic hair. And no I don't have cancer. I'm a non-smoking, 5'3, 121 lbs, 25 mile a week running, 37.5 year old woman, and I'm in perfectly healthy physical condition.
"I am very proud of my African-American ancestry which includes my hair. For your edification: traditionally our hair doesn't grow downward. It grows upward. Many Black women use strong straightening agents in order to achieve a more European grade of hair and that is their choice. However in my case I don't find it necessary. I'm very proud of who I am and the standard of beauty I display. Women come in all shapes, sizes, nationalities, and levels of beauty. Showing little girls that being comfortable in the skin and HAIR God gave me is my contribution to society. Little girls (and boys for that matter) need to see that what you look like isn't a reason to not achieve their goals.
"Conforming to one standard isn't what being American is about and I hope you can embrace that.
"Thank you for your comment and have a great weekend and thank for watching."
Vascocu replied that Lee was right to be proud of who she is and that he is not a racist, but ". . . this world has . . . certain standerd (cq). if youve come from a world of being poor are you going to dress in rags?. . ." Source

I'm a black woman.
Most other black people seems to assume that I'll be voting for the black man - our president Obama.
No.
Just because I'm black does not mean I'm voting for him. I do not vote on skin color. Or for friendship, or money.
I vote for what I believe in, what I believe is good for our country.
Get your acts together and start reading about what will be affecting you and your children and choose to vote on that and not racism.

No woman want to be sexually assaulted. Men should have the honor of protecting our women. It shouldn't even be a thought.
I've been through enough sexual assaults and now live with the effects, that seeing men supporting to protect women is bringing tears full force.
As a man are you strong enough to protect, not just your own woman, but women in general?

I would not have married a man who was not circumcised.
Circumcision is not only for religious reasons, it's also for cleanliness and some men are just plain lazy which leads to being nasty!
What is with the government trying to govern our vaginas and all areas of our anatomy?
Get off and do your job for the people who elected you. LEAVE MY BODY ALONE!

I mean come on people, you've never read about hot sex before? How about reading it in a point of view where it actually makes your hot and bothered and wanting to jump your man's/gal's bones.
This 50 shades a crap isn't it.
It's like a little teenager writing about sex they want to have. I'm reading the book and I keep wondering if I'm wasting my time every day. OMG I just rolled my eyes, I wonder if Christian will magically appear and spank me. I'd have punch his ass out. Just saying.
Anyway, read this review. It hits the nail on the head! Ooh I loves it.
******
I really don't like writing bad reviews. I admire people who have the courage to put pen to paper and expose themselves to the whole world, especially those writing erotica. Having just finished this book, however, I feel compelled to write a review.
About half way through the book, I looked up the author to see if she was a teenager. I really did because the characters are out of a 16 year old's fantasy. The main male character is a billionaire (not a millionaire but a billionaire) who speaks fluent French, is basically a concert level pianist, is a fully trained pilot, is athletic, drop dead gorgeous, tall, built perfectly with an enormous penis, and the best lover on the planet. In addition, he's not only self made but is using his money to combat world hunger. Oh yeah, and all of this at the ripe old age of 26! And on top of that, he's never working. Every second is spent having sex or texting and emailing the female character. His billions seem to have just come about by magic. It seriously feels like 2 teenage girls got together and decided to create their "dream man" and came up with Christian Grey.
Then come the sex scenes. The first one is tolerable but as she goes on, they become so unbelievable that it becomes more laughable than erotic. She orgasms at the drop of a hat. He says her name and she orgasms. He simply touches her and she orgasms. It seems that she's climaxing on every page.
Then there's the writing. If you take out the parts where the female character is blushing or chewing her lips, the book will be down to about 50 pages. Almost on every single page, there is a whole section devoted to her blushing, chewing her lips or wondering "Jeez" about something or another. Then there's the use of "shades of". He's "fifty shades of @#$%% up," "she turned 7 shades of crimson," "he's ten shades of x,y, and z." Seriously?
The writing is just not up to par, the characters are unbelievable, and the sex verges on the comical. I don't know what happens in the remaining books and I do not intend to read them to find out. But given the maturity level of the first book, I imagine that they get married, have 2 perfect children, cure world hunger, and live happily ever after while riding into the sunset, as the female character climaxes on her horse causing her to chew her bottom lip and blush fifty shades of crimson. Jeez!

AMEN
Now go buy a real book like say
The Mating, The Finding, The Keeping by Nicky Charles
Or anything by Cherise Sinclair and you'll get your juices flowing.
