  • For Young Women, Self Worth Defined by BMI
    Etrangere commented on the article | over 2 years ago

    I'm certainly glad  you're not blaming the media. I, really depise the fact that parents are not held responsible more often in this country. The concept of having celebrities for role models is ludicrous. I still cannot believe pagents for children are not illegal or at least protested.


    As long as this nation continues to be EGO driven, this shall not cease

    Thank you for your kind words.


     Along my journee, you can imagine I made friends with FEAR and sadly, it is still a part of me. I'm currently working on ending that relationship and look forward to speaking out...

    Only 81%!!!! This is why I HATE ethiopian culture, it permits abuse towards women! I'm a domestic violence survivor, did not speak for nearly 10 yrs because i thought it was my fault and when I finally sought therapy and understood that it was not MY FAULT ,I decided to challenge this retarded tradition. It's a long story,(thinking about writing a book) my family disowned me. It is not just happening in remote villages, people travel with their traditions....


    Good luck with I VAWA

    addendum:


     Since we are speaking about Black women / images/media... The fact that I rarely recognize the (celebrity)women featured on Black Hairstyle mag. Retouch much??????

  • Vogue Italia's Black Barbie: A Step Forward or a Step Back?
    Etrangere commented on the article | over 2 years ago

    I'm simply amazed by an article written by an adult, lamenting about a doll. Oh yeah, it is a doll for children and i highly doubt that little girls are sitting around questioning the measurement of Barbie. When are parents going to stop using their children to advance their ideology. That, I feel is dangerous NOT barbie (blonde or black).


    Let the children play....otherwise there is always the FUBU approach..For us by us:) Paging puff daddy and all the bling blingers


     

  • Can We Forgive Chris Brown?
    Etrangere commented on the article | over 2 years ago

    It is not my place to forgive him...However, I'm pretty certain he will do it again.


    The  chain he's been wearing that reads" OOPS" is a clear display of his TRUE sentiment.Not to mention the jet skiing, soon after he commited a crime. He did not get it. I guess his mother is more interested in her son's fame. Paging Joe Jackson..ARGHHHHH!!!!!!!

  • Has American Apparel Gone Too Far?
    Etrangere commented on the article | over 2 years ago

    WOW!!! what kind of question is that? this is wrong on so many levels...I appreciate the article but I'm a little annoyed that given all the infos ie. the onion article / the CEO history of sexual harrassment, recently in the news for allegedly firing "unattractive employees" and the IMAGES of the disturbing ads ,the writer still has questions....What more does one need? Let's take a stand and lets not try to be PC...THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!!
