Can we please act like ladies? After watching this episode, I felt compelled to comment. I and many others have gone to great lengths to lift up African-American women. I was disheartened to hear Sheree drag Nene about when she couldn't afford her car payment and needed severe dental work. Instead she should be happy for her that she made it. In my book, there's a character, "Pissed-off Paula" "You know her, she's always walking around with a frown on her face, just waiting to snap at someone for the tiniest matter....mad at the world" Perhaps Sheree is a pissed-off Paula.

Beyonce Explains ‘Brown Skin Girl’, ‘MOOD 4 EVA’ From ‘The Gift’

I agree with Beyonce, fathers should encourage their daughters to feel confident and love the skin they're in. But with that said I think as a community we need to address the negative messages that little black girls receive when we see so many high-profile African-American men coupled with caucasian/etc. women. In my book, Why Every Black Woman Should Marry A Jewish Man, I emphasize the importance of loving the skin you're in in the chapter, "HoneyBrowne" bit.ly/honeybrownebook

The disappointments of Dating as a Black Woman

Its a shame that in 2020 we are still at this point. I am tired of Black women having conversations like this. We are desirable and its time that we appreciate ourselves and date men who love us instead of chasing men who are clearly not interested in dating black women. In my book, the chapter HoneyBrowne is about realizing all the beauty in black women.

Black Women not viewed as Beautiful yet Again

Ari Lennox is absolutely correct, why are people so comfortable tearing down black women but not women from other races? My chapter entitled "HoneyBrowne" is dedicated to uplifting black women and seeing the vibrant spectrum of beauty of us. It's sad that in this day and age that the standard of beauty remains Eurocentric and that notion has spilled over into the African-American community. We get enough criticism from society and the media, we shouldn't be doing that to each other. Here's an excerpt from my chapter, "HoneyBrowne"  On a personal note, when the public tears down black men, black women always come to defend them, but sadly we don't see that reciprocated when the roles are reversed.  As a black man, journalist, K Austin Collins, should be ashamed of disrespecting black women. I'm sure we wouldn't want someone saying these things about his mother or sister.

Patrick Patterson's Ridiculous Bulldog comment about Black Women

Ok, setting aside the fact that the moderator of this particular you tube video is also a black male married to a non-black woman. Patrick Patterson was out of line calling black women bulldogs. Its time for black women to move on and be treated like the queens and princesses  that we are. This is a man who obviously has chosen against black women rather than choosing someone he is compatible with. He’s probably the type of black man who refuses to date black women because he has issues with us, but that’s vastly different than someone approaching dating to find compatibility rather than go out of their way to date something other than his own culture.For example: had he said this is someone who is a great match for me then I don’t think he would be facing the backlash and controversy. It’s sad that there are some black men who approach dating this way, in fact according to the Bureau of Statistics, black men actually engage in interracial dating more than 3 times as much as black women and this is not the first time that I have heard black men say they are approaching dating this way. I have chosen to be loved and appreciated. In my book, there’s a chapter, HoneyBrowne, this chapter is about the appreciation of black women. “HoneyBrowne is super-sweet, smooth, upscale, but not condescending. She walks with grace as she glides by with a smile on her face, confident in who she is.”

Beautiful Black Women With White Soulmates

This was a joy to watch! Everyone should have a right to love freely. The people who criticize interracial dating are often either not happy in their own relationships or are racist or have biases against other people. Unfortunately as black women we allow notions from the civil rights era to prevent us from viewing interracial relationships in a positive way.Of course black men have been affected from this same past but that has not stopped them from dating white women and other non-black women. In fact black men engage in interracial dating more than 3 times as much as black women. Look it's time for black women to explore all their options in the dating world.

Chris Brown and the Men Who Think We're Ugly (How Black Men Benefit from Colorism)

Chris had no shame when he sang the lyric, "I only want to fuck the black bitches with the nice hair." I'll save the comment about calling black women bitches for another day. Yes, Mr. Chris Brown should be ashamed of himself, but unfortunately colorism is a big problem in the aftrican-american community.  And since black women seem to be the only ones suffering from this problem, especially these days because black men find a way to benefit from these relationships with "other women" for example: Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. Well the Chris and Kanye's of the world remind me of a character in my book "High Profile".  "High Profile" is secure in how he looks and is more concerned about having a so-called trophy or "snow queen/ice princess" on his arm.The problem with "High Profile" is that the relationships he forms are all about access, and what he can get out of being seen or connected with the woman that he is dating. I agree with the YouTuber, "do not stress yourself out about the people, who don't want you. In 2019, we're not stressing out about these raggedy men". She is absolutely right, because they are raggedy if they cannot recognize the beauty in black women.
