[quote comment="11862"]I'm so

[quote comment="11862"]I'm so tired of this talk about Halle Berry.Halle is not black she is BIRACIAL.as much as she has black blood in her,she also has white.its pure ignorance to say that woman is black when she has 50% of white blood in her. I've read some interviews with that woman and she has claimed she's black,biracial,tanned whatever.growing up biracial isnt easy,I know I'm biracial too,but at the end of the day that woman is B-I-R-A-C-I-A-L.[/quote] whats biracial??? i mean i was born black mother white father and i never refer to myself as biracial bcuz i know i am black white people don't reconized us as any other race we are black so forget somewhere in the middle we BLACK and proud of it too and i guess so is halle.

She was wack on “Girlfriends” BTW." I have some choice words for you Ms. Harlem Chic: First, Erykah may dress and act out of sorts to you, but that's her style and choice just like I'm sure that you have your own style. We do have choices in America and maybe she doesn't want to look, sound and act like everyone else....that's her freedom of choice! That's why she is unique. Furthermore, she has tremendous talent. You can't knock her live performances...she may not have the warddrobe or lighting that Beyaki and them have but her show is all the way live and when you leave you feel good!!!! For that fact alone, Ms. Badu should be celebrated! Stop hating on Ms. Badu!!!! She is way better than some of these commercialized, non-singing, back-stabbing Beyaki's of today!!!!

I agree with a lot of what

I agree with a lot of what Ldn callin is saying. Young black girls have always endured this problem, except that it used to really be only white women on the covers of magazines. Even the powerful Oprah Winfrey mentioned wanting a smaller nose as a girl becaue of the images of the white standard of beauty that she was constantly bombarded with. Why are ethnic features always something that has to be repressed or beaten back? Why must black hair be straightened or dyed some strange shade of blonde? Why can't the dark girl be the love interest in the music video (she's usually cut off at the waist and reduced to shaking her *ss). The worst part is that black media is using its platform to perpetuate these images of whiteness, instead of shattering or challenging this out-of-date beauty standard. It's like some kind of self-hatred.

I saw Raheem's new video this

I saw Raheem's new video this weekend. I was already in love with the song, now I love it even more. The video is done really tasteful and it is a welcome change to see and hear a song that uplifts sistahs instead of degrading them.

Raheem is truly illustrating

Raheem is truly illustrating how black women should be represented in videos. Those women are strong, beautiful and sexy, all without being "objectified." That's how to represent for women and how to be real women!

Whoever it was that said that

Whoever it was that said that Beyonce, or "Beyaki" as they called her, can't sing is a liar for real. Commercialized? Yes. Back-stabbing? Maybe. But not being able to sing? That is definitely NOT what it is. Why do we have to put down one artist in order to lift another artist up? Erykah is talented. Very talented. But it's like people feel they have to prove how "real" they are by putting down the commercial music in favor of the Erykahs and the Lauryns. As for the race issue, I don't know if it's still this way now, but in the past, in the US, for purposes of the census if you even had like 5% black in you, then you were considered black. So it's not as though the media just concocted this plan to deny black women their due. It's just the way this country is and has been. I think that Halle Berry is beautiful, but I don't feel that she is the epitome of black beauty. I don't think there should be an epitome of beauty in any race. This is why people have eating disorders and have plastic surgery. They're trying to keep up with someone who is the epitome of beauty for their particular race. I agree with the person who said that we are all the epitome of black beauty. If there were a darker person with ethnic features that we considered the "epitome" of beauty, then there would be all these women out there trying to see how they could be darker, how they could have a bigger nose and fuller lips. Everything would just shift from trying to be light-skinned to trying to be dark-skinned. We should all just try to be the most beautiful people inside and out that we can be.
