I am blaming FLOTUS! If she wasn't so intelligent, poised, articulate, beautiful, and balanced they would have left us the hell alone! Damn you, Michelle!

OneChele…I responded similarly to you on Twitter after the last blast on the sisterhood, indicating that with a strong, dynamic, intelligent First Lady in the White House, she had to be the exception and the rest of us the rule. BTW…in the April issue of Ebony there is an interesting quote from a study that has received none if any play. This study, "Myths About College – Educated Women and Marriage," for the Council on Contemporary Families, was co-authored by two economics professors at the University of Pennsylvania. They examined data from the 1950 to 2008 census and found that college-educated Black women do marry and stay married. I am sure there are other studies debunking the myths but they don't garner headlines or drive the bottom line.

I cosign 100%. You "took" the words right out of my mouth. Where did all these "statistics" come from? I surely did not take a survery and neither did my family. SMH

Happy Saturday :-) It is the first day of spring and last night a couple inches of snow fell. What's that all about? Have you been getting enough sleep, Michelle? Usually when I get paranoid thoughts it is from sleep deprivation :-) I can certainly see where you are coming from. I think it is combination of media people trying to make money and acting like sheep. Hopefully, they have worn themselves out on this topic and will let it go.

Am I forgiven enough from yesterday to comment? Because I think there is an over all conspiracy on the part of the mass media to manipulate what we see, what we hear and what we know.
I'll go back and sit in the corner now.

2010-03-25T02:51:27.980-05:00

Girl, you are on point. Seriously, I had to stop listening to the media. First they will convince blk women to tell all their business and tell the world how blk men dont want you. Then the media will convince you that if the blk man does want you, you will have to settle because 9 times out of 10 he will be uneducated or just released from prison or poor. Now they are basically trying to say, you know what, it doesn't even matter if a blk man don't want you, you can have a white man. Then its wait, but white men won't want you either because you all have herpes and you are dead broke.

Lies, all of it. We have to stop listening to this trash. The media has already done a number on our blk men and now they are going to destroy us too.

2010-03-25T01:47:39.227-05:00

Ms. OneChel,
You are NOT crazy. The MSM machine controls what people think ( those who are less inclined to use their critical thinking skills). There's a REASON the headlines are scary and bemoan the tragedy of black women, while the truth is not half as frightening. Firstly the $5 median wealth is a distractor from the truth that, that figure includes ALL WOC , who have historically been disadvantaged by not having generational wealth like our female white counterparts. Ta-Nehisi Coates from the Atlantic covers the issue better than I could

http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2010/03/study-finds-median-wealth-for-single-black-women-at-5/37395/

Regarding the second bogus piece of data which presumes we're all disease ridden, instead of being headlined are almost half of black women have herpes SHOULD be..almost half of the women WITH herpes are African American. Those are two completely different sentences, the second being truth, the 1st bad journalism. But it's not bad, if the intention is to continue to press on the negative reflection of black women. NOTHING is accidental in the media, it always has been and will continue to guide public opinion through manipulation. A former professor used to harp that being literate doesn't mean you know how to read..that's what the media is counting on.

2010-03-25T01:27:09.627-05:00

He** yeah, it's a conspiracy. I have yet to meet anyone, family or friend, who has ever been interviewed in person, or by email / regular mail for any of these so-called studies about Black women. I've got a better chance of being called up for jury duty than I do of being asked to participate in some poll or survey.

But yet, there is always some fancy sounding research study from some never before heard of group calling themselves a think-tank {what exactly is that anyway?} breathlessly telling the world that I'm poor, uneducated, in debt, with a house full of kids, no husband and no job. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong again.

Call me a conspiracy nut all you want, but one of the first things that I noticed since Barack Obama was elected President and started filling positions in his cabinet and administration with highly educated, successful Black {and Hispanic} women ~ that all of sudden these grim, depressing and extremely inaccurate studies and reports about minority women starting gaining the attention of the media.

But perhaps what hurts the most, despite me knowing better, is that someone like Sarah Palin who is a mental lightweight of the worse kind, is adored by thousands. While First Lady Michelle Obama, who is as we all know extremely intelligent and successful in her own right, is subjected to hateful, racist, ignorant comments and worse.

2010-03-25T01:18:57.116-05:00

No secret at all that the media will take whatever's has the slightest heat and flame it up in the streets. Thanks to idiots like Harvey and the like, Black Women Talk is a moneymaking venture. No conspiracy needed to see the media following the money instead of the truth.

2010-03-25T01:16:55.309-05:00

What you're seeing is typical of MSM reporting. take an enormously complex situation, find a tangential snippet that taps into visceral response, and then ride that mofo into the ground.

The MSM will focus on ANYTHING that stokes response. Black Women in crisis articles stoke response AND shows concern for the minority community. Win/Win.

So they say.

There has long been a conspiracy to rip apart the foundation of the black family. From the day we were brought to these shores, it's been an all out war to keep us "in our place" - this is just the latest tactic.
