I’ve worked around several races and nationalities, and I’m sorry, but I haven’t come across the scents you have. Most of the women I come in contact with usually smell very nice, because they’re wearing a nice scent of perfume or cologne. As for myself, I love the scent of cocoa butter, as well as coconut and mango. In fact, The Body Shop, one of the most popular ‘scent’ stores around, sells a product called ‘Body Butter,’ a rich moisturizing body cream that comes in many scents, including mango, coconut, sesame, olive, grape, honey and cocoa butter. Incidentally, the cocoa butter and mango are their biggest sellers. So apparently a lot of women – black, white, whatever – like the scent of cocoa butter. This ‘different races smell different’ nonsense is just another way to promote prejudice and bigotry.

I am an African American woman…a Black American of African descent. What I, and other AA’s choose to call ourselves is NO concern of yours.

Slavery-theft of the home, religion, language and way of life, from a people. Tearing apart the families…selling children away from their parents, to the highest bidder. Women raped and ravaged. Jim Crow-Extremely violent time in African American History-Lynchings were prominent during this time. It was a common occurrence to hang AA men, or ‘hunt’ them, for sport. Civil Rights Movement-Shootings, lynchings; death was the sentence for a AA trying to vote or fight for equal opportunity The Tuskegee Experiments – African American men allowed to fester in syphilis, while doctors deliberately did NOT treat their illness…instead, they gave these men placebos, and told them it was medicine that would make them well. Most died from the illness. And of course no one took responsibility…Former President Bill Clinton was the ONLY president to ever publicly apologize for these atrocities. Abner Louima, Amadu Diallo, Eleanor Bumpurs, Natasha Jackson, Michael Stewart, Yusef Hawkins, and the countless numbers of African Americans who were slaughtered in this country, and the brothers and sisters who continue to be misused, abused and slaughtered in this country. I don’t see myself as a victim, I see myself as an emotionally/physically strong sista…who will not tolerate for one second any abuse or misuse from anyone…and if anyone is foolish enough to step to me that way, that person will feel my wrath.

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of American Express, The Chief Executive Officer of Beatrice Foods; The Editor In Chief of Essence Magazine; The Editor In Chief of Black Enterprise Magazine; Marva Collins, Headmaster of a school for Gifted African American children; Dr. Ben Carson, world renowned pediatric neurosurgeon, and a host of lesser known but no less important African American men and women would beg to differ with you.

Last time I checked, the subject was butts…not the perceived diet of African Americans. And for the record, African American people are not the only people who eat hamhocks…Italians eat them as well…they just cook them differently than African Americans do. You should also remember that many African Americans do not consume pork, because they are Muslims, and this religion prohibits the consumption of pig, which is considered by Muslims to be a filthy dirty animal. Next time, be careful about attempting to slander an entire race of people. You only serve to make yourself look silly, petty and childish.

The Yuppie kids get stuff like OJ, water, milk, bagels, fruit, or cheerios. The lower class moms buy their kids soda, those Hi-C juice bottles, chips, and all sorts of packaged pastries, cakes etc.’ Exactly what the hell do you mean by ‘lower class’? Because the moms don’t make quite as much money as you?? Has every ‘lower class’ parent in the neighborhood shopped for these items only in this store? Have you inspected the kitchen cabinets of every single African American family and found ‘junk food’??? For YOUR information, I am an African American mother of a nine year old boy who encourages ‘healthy eating’, and so do many other African American parents. Many of the children of so-called Yuppie (yuppie sounds so ridiculous) parents get allowances, and guess what they’re doing with those allowance?? They’re eating the very same junk food you claim only ‘lower class’ and ‘minority’ kids eat. Here’s a newflash for you, Miss racist…CHILDREN, of all walks of life, eat junk food, when they are out of the reach of their parents. It was nothing short of stupid for you take this situation and make it a racial issue. You’re a very silly woman. Grow the hell up.

If you drop your dirty underwear in the middle of the bedroom floor and your wife asks you to pick them up, is that nagging? Sounds like you’re a man who resents taking any direction/advice from a woman. You’re not the first man with such an attitude, you won’t be the last.

Having said that, if he came to me and said, ‘I’m Gay’, I would still absolutely adore him, and I would embrace his life partner.

And don’t fool yourselves into thinking that ‘less qualified’ minorities are being hired…on the contrary, there are many highly educated, bright ambitious AA’s entering Corporate America. Face it, what’s REALLY scaring you White folks is that these bright, educated, savvy African American people can compete with you. That’s your real issue. And more are on the way. My son, 15 years from today, will be one of the best and the brightest…and there isn’t a thing you can do about it, but step aside…or get knocked down.

Any man of any race or ethnicity can be well-endowed; likewise, any man of any race or ethnicity can be average or smaller than average. This stereotype is an ugly one, started by white people and continued by silly black men who define their manhood by the size of their penises. Ken, let me tell you a secret that will guarantee your success as a lover: learn the fine art of foreplay. Learn the erogenous zones of a woman. Learn the fine art of touching, of kissing, of caressing. Foreplay is the most important part of lovemaking, not the ability to rupture a woman’s vagina with the size of your penis. There is something else you need to understand, Ken: the women you’re currently dating are hoochies and hos, not so much because they’ve been sexually active with several partners, but because they discuss it with you. A real woman does not reveal her sexual experience to a man she’s just getting to know. She does not sit around discussing the penis size of the men she’s been with.
Your penis size isn’t the issue, it’s your choice of women. Look for a ‘quality’ woman, a woman with some class and style. One who’ll love and respect you for who you are, not how big your penis is. And black men should really be insulted by, and fed up with, this silliness.

The Sensi is a fourth-degree Black Belt, the Shihan is a sixth-degree. They have won numerous awards. I’ve seen them go toe to toe with men who are as skilled as they are, and win.
These women also know the areas of the body that, if hit, can be deadly. They are lightning quick, so quick in their kicks and hand movements that you don’t really see the blow. They can definitely take care of themselves. A woman who is highly skilled in the martial arts can kick a man’s butt.

I consider it the ugliest racial slur ever used against African-American people. It is not used in my home, and I’ve taught my son that it is a dirty word and not to be used. I will always be offended by this word, and the people who use it. Just a friendly warning to my fellow African-American Brothers and Sisters: When a white person yells, ‘My Nigga’ at you, remember, you all made it acceptable to use the word.

Lie #1: Black men are poorly dressed. Black men in New York are some of the best-dressed men. From the brothers on Wall Street who wear beautifully tailored suits to the hip hop generation who wears FUBU, Sean Jean, etc., black men are almost always well dressed.
Lie #2: Unless you’re talking about a homeless person, black men do not smell bad. On the contrary, not only do they smell fresh and clean, they wear good-smelling cologne and scents for men.
Lie #3: Black men are walking up to you in droves, engaging in aggressive talk. What are they saying to you that you consider aggressive? Or is it just that if a black man isn’t shuffling, grinning, bowing, scraping and scratching his head and saying ‘Yassuh, Boss,’ then you perceive him as scary or threatening?

Every time the bus or train slows down, that fat person puts all their weight on me, which is not good for my back, or my clothes, which usually end up damp and wrinkled on the side where they sat. Other than that, I have no problem with fat people.

Nothing makes an ignorant, rude man feel more like crap than when a woman ignores him, doesn’t even look in his direction. It is more effective than cursing him out. Trust me, I’ve done both.
