I pretty much post my position on various topics here at my blog. Is there something in particular you wish to discuss?

I love your blog, the title alone caught my attention. I was hoping I could be added to your Blogroll as you are already added to mine.
Thanks,

Please read article: http://counterpunch.org/nathan09122007.html
Not surprised that blk teenage girls are targeted(given historical abuse of said pop and little to no repercussions for abuse) but given digital divide I didnt think that teenaged black girls would be the most approached/harassed/nude pic requested (younger the better it seems)….tell me what you think.
Thanx

Krl.
Thanks.
I found out about this young lady’s arrest on Wednesday. As if she has not suffered enough. I have put up a post on the article.

Hello Ann
I just read your Jon Mellencamp post. You are very right about how the issues of Black women are invisible to America. Your post have raised my awarness.

Hello,
I was also looking for an email address to contact you. I’m an MA student writing (well, not yet) about black feminism, blogging, and activism. I’m looking for good blog-writers who’d be willing to help me: give me advice, answer my questions, etc.
I like your blog very much and would be very happy if you agreed to help me.
You can reach me here: januaries (at) gmx (dot) net
and/or see my blog: http://www.scribblingswithgreenchalk.wordpress.com. Not much about the project there yet, but this will be changing — and not so slowly, I hope.

Interesting Article on Race/Gender…people who have actually changed sexes are describing the new perils etc of the decision from a racial standpoint (bulk are black women becoming men but there are also Chicanas and also vice versa gender wise): http://www.colorlines.com/article.php?ID=265

Karl, thanks so much for that article link. I am going to try and respond to it with a post (keep your fingers crossed).
Thanks also for the other link you sent me.

Greatness By Design, LLC & Blanche Williams cordianlly invites all my sisters to the February film screenings of “THE SOULS OF BLACK GIRLS” at the National Council of Negro Women on Feb 8 and Morgan State University on Feb 9.

Buy tickets online at http://www.greatnessbydesign.com and watch a trailer of the film at http://www.soulsofblackgirls.com. We must reclaim the souls and the future of our black girls!

You address interesting and thought provoking topics in your blog. Thank you for the work you do and the recent attention you’ve given to missing children. I only wish there had been better outcomes to the Galveston cases you profiled. I am haunted thinking what is happening to our children. Peace to you.

I just wanna inform you about a really popular blog called Jezebel that does celebrity commentary and gossip from a feminist point of view (yes, rather dubious that claim) that has quite a following with young white hipster women.
http://jezebel.com/354713/reminders
Well, the possibly well-meaning editor of Jezebel is asking for readers: black female readers in particular to submit the following:
“What we’re looking for this month: The best and worst hairstyles on our black female readers, whether from childhood or adulthood. (That’s one of our readers’ submissions, at left. Love. It!) Don’t have anything to offer? Send this notice onto someone who might…or does. We’ll be putting up the post at the end of the month, as well as announcing the theme for the March edition of the feature. Those who desire to remain “anonymous” (i.e. have their facial features blurred out) are welcome to say so. Send submissions to photos@jezebel.com with the title “Past Fashion” in the subject header.”
I have a major WTF moment reading that.
Why black women specifically? And why ask black women to submit pics of their worst hairstyle when they were children??? And don’t black women have enough trouble with feeling scrutinized and judged about their hair already?
Just thought, I’d let you know. What do you think?
SK

SK.
Thanks for posting.
I put up a post on your comment.
Yes, I think black women have been through enough at the hands of many enemies through the centuries, and we still have to fight to keep our dignity and composure in a country that disregards our feelings——–and our beauty, 24/7.
