  1. Before Podcasts, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and countless other outlets there were Black newspapers, magazines, and books to document our history. During the early days of segregation, they banned the Chicago Defender in the South! Now they want to whitewash history. The role of Black literature regardless of format is to preserve our incredible story for future generations. We need to tell the story our way. An African Proverb “Until the lion tells the story, the hunter will always be the hero.”
  2. Lol......where the ladies at? If this was a White forum with a bunch of White women OR White men asking orgasm questions, you know these sistaz would have filled up the page by now. Now this is the problem.......... And I'm not talking about this particular thread or site but in society in general. You have 5 or 6 women who participate on this site. Some more than others. All AfroAmerican. But let ONE White woman come on this thread and start talking about her sexual experiences, I bet the sistaz would be coming out of the woodwork with all types of comments. Some would be good, others bad, others impersonal, others telling of their own personal experiences. They could have done it before......why didn't they? I've seen this time and time again in the work place, at school, etc.... A lot of sistaz don't value the company of or conversation with Black men and think it's a waste of time and energy UNLESS they see a White woman giving him the time of day and then all of a sudden it raises up all types of interest and emotions. I've seen it over and over again. On the flip side, I've seen the same thing with some sistaz....especially dark skinned ones. Many of them are ignored by Black men....UNTIL we see one on the arms of a White man smiling and holding some mixed babies in her arms. Then all of a sudden, "Why they taking our chocolate queens like that????"
  3. It also gives people an excuse to be LAZY and not take responsibility for cleaning up and restoring their own communities. How many times have I heard Black folks look at an abandoned building, or some crime or racist act on television only to shake their head and say, "I ain't wurred about it cuz Jesus coming back soon anyway"
  4. Maybe those sistas were not raised by a strong Black man. A lot of women have been doing the heavy lifting by themselves. That could lead to confusion among their sons and daughters. That's why we see overly emotional dudes and hard azz chicks walking around.😁 As Diana Ross sang..."Upside Down".🤣😎
