I didn't have the internet in my home for six months. But it helped me to get past my internet addiction...kind of. I'm back with a semi-new perspective, due to my new Christian status, and am eager to share my opinions and experiences.
I am new to blogging so bare with me. I am also very excited about 2010, and the new adventures and experiences that it brings. I still want to fill dark-skinned Black women with pride and remind them that they are beautiful. This is the point of this blog.
Of course, I expect to get off course when something outrages me and I just have to write about it. Oh and I saw The Princess and the Frog and I was not pleased! The thing that I think bothered me most was that many Black people were unfazed like "at least they gave us something." I hate to be nerdy but, that is stinkin thinkin. I want the best and I want equal treatment and I will not accept the scraps that are given to me with a happy face. Disney is making millions off of this film... I will save the rest for a post. The point is that I'm back and ready to share and have people share with me.
hey i'm Christian too and I also wasn't satisfied with the princess and the frog. I agree with you, why do we have to settle for scraps? I am trying to get away from the bitter atmosphere in some bw blogosphere because I believe bitterness eats away at you, but at the same time I am concerned about uplifting darker sisters too. You seem level-headed, nice blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! I know what you mean. I try my best to not sound bitter, mainly because I am not. LOL! I learned a long time ago that you create the life you live. So while we live in a country that provides certain privileges to certain people, if you work hard and play smart you can have whatever it is you want.
ReplyDeleteI read all kinds of blogs, and while I agree that there are things that brothers need to do better, many things! I still have dated and known good Black men. But I will not limited myself in the dating field.
Dating is a numbers game and I want to play the field. I limited myself only to internal qualities. If they aren't honorable, God fearing men, I don't date them.
I could go on and on, but I won't. I am a Christian! YAY! It is not always easy, but it is so fulfilling. I hope you enjoy my blog. I am always interested in your input.
