Brown Sista

Ok, for those of you who missed it, I decided to last week to allow visitors the opportunity to start topics they would like to see discussed on this blog by leaving comments here every Tuesday. We had a few great conversations last week but I am hoping for even more activity this week. Remember, this is your chance to say what ever is on your mind. You can vent, use the opportunity to get to know your fellow posters, ask questions, make suggestions- it’s all up to you- just say something.

Below are just a few of the sites I visit from time to time, as well as articles that I think are worthy of Black women’s attention. As I browsed the internet today and yesterday I could not help but notice the amount of anguish many sistas seem to be feeling simply because a stranger, Reggie Bush, had chosen to take up with a woman who was not of his ethnicity (Kim Kardashian). Black Female Interracial Marriage is a blog I visit quite often because I believe the owner truly has a love for her sistas and wants to see them happy, content and fulfilled. Sometimes that fulfillment may come from a man who looks like you- but sometimes it wont. Date A White Guy is another blog I visit on occasion, and again, I believe the owner posts a lot of information that Black women need to hear.

Fellow blogger Clay Kane wrote an interesting piece on his site that got me to thinking about an article I started writing some months ago but eventually abandoned. Clay, in his article, wonders why there are so few Black women on the Billboard charts but quite a few White women who have what I like to call that Black Girl Flava? Now some time ago I predicted that the influx of White women into r&b music, with the help of Black male producers, would lead to the demise of Black women on the charts. And now that the chickens have essentially come home to roost, I think now is the perfect time to talk about why only Beyonce and Corrine Bailey Rae- who is biracial- are the only two so called Black women who have songs in the Hot 100.

TTMT is a simple and fun idea. Every Tuesday I will post this article and visitors simply leave comments about anything they like. You can vent, ask questions- it’s all up to you. If you have a blog or site of your own don’t forget to include your link because Brown Sista is part of the Do Follow movement. So let’s get to it shall we? Talk to me people…

Most Black women hate Beyonce. I was browsing various blogs today and pow, out of nowhere those words struck me in the face. I was literally in shock for a moment and as I read why this particular Black female felt most Black women hated Bey, I realized that one, she didn’t know what the hell she was talking about and 2, she was jealous of Beyonce or most likely, the preferential treatment Beyonce gets from White and Black people for being fair complected.

This Black female blogger, who I have purposely chosen not to link to, first starts off her piece talking about how whiter Beyonce looks these days but only spent a moment on that before she went on and on about how Beyonce was overrated and overexposed. Now I do not freely play the jealousy card when a woman makes disparaging comments about another woman because I have made many of them myself and felt no jealousy at all.
