Awkward Black Girl was okay, but I too couldn't get behind this show... I also wasn't the biggest fan of BMJ but maybe I could give it another shot. We'll see. I really enjoy your blog.

I also do not think it is polite to tell her what she can write on her blog. If you do not like an article, you don't have to read it or comment on it. It would be better to read and comment on articles that you do like. While there is nothing wrong with criticism, you are veering away from the topic at hand.<br />SilverRoxenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08941103982786673864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788247236906826630.post-79076681253316328202017-03-30T15:49:22.533-04:002017-03-30T15:49:22.533-04:00Thanks for the recommendation.

However, your conclusions about this show seem to be rooted in some pretty outdated ideals. If this is an indication of what this blog is about I think it'll also be my last time here.

I remember reading an article on this exact blog about 2-3 years ago, and it said in the article something about if you have a tv, give it to a white friend, because tv only shows whites in a good light. Well that was very good advice. Whether it is about negative stereotypes of BW, interracial dating (ugh tiring), violence, shitty white and black politicians, both male and females, nonsensical white and black, male and female athletes, and celebrities with tons of money, who are not giving the rest of us any. Why are we still talking about them? It is 2017, let's get to self -improvement Remember those people do not give a shit about us and they are not going to change and empower the rest of us. There is no surprise with this Issa Raye, tv show. I like the articles on this blog that deal with complete self-improvement for us such as "How to be an elegant BW in 10 lessons, and your femininity article, BW must advertise their unique features, if BW wore sarees, pin up girl styles for BW, those are empowering articles. This is just a suggestion but I would also like to see articles, on good communication skills for BW, how to have an organized life and home ( I found personally too many BW are disorganized), how to eat healthy, self-pampering, meditation and actively pursuing your goals, money management(how to live well, save and invest, even if you're on a limited income) positive parenting tips for BW, should we or should we not homeschool our children. How to graciously accept a compliment,etc, etc, etc. The list is so long on articles that could be written about that would empower us as BW.<br /><br />I am not trying to be critical, but talking about BP and WP who do not give a shit about BW who are seeking to empower themselves, in my opinion is futile. We are abusing ourselves by always having these people in our psyche. Yes we should be aware of people like Trump and his supporters, who are even more racist than him, and once again we know mainstream tv hardly ever portrays BW in a good light, no natter what color or sex the writer, director or producer is. Let's stop looking to the media and everyone else to put us in a good light. We BW on this blog should be directing our energy to supporting each other in being the best we can. So let's have more empowering articles, because I'm tired of negative articles, and talking about WP and BP who do not have our best interest in mind, and frankly once again for the millionth time, they do not give a shit about empowering BW.<br /><br />THANK YOU<br /><br /><br />CEDIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788247236906826630.post-7582123536451772422017-01-07T14:40:38.241-05:002017-01-07T14:40:38.241-05:00While I haven't watched the show I do agree wi...While I haven't watched the show I do agree with you overall.
