I'd read a few rumors that the abuse that he inflicted on her went far beyond pushing Christina & her sister around, which is why I applauded her for not wanting to give that bastard the time of day.

It's amazing how a discussion about perpetuating sexism within the Black community at an early age can spiral into a battle over my use of the word "Negro"/the necessary existence of womanism, isn't it?

Good point. I keep forgetting that she is on probation, as I associate her with the lot of non-working actresses who manage to get access into those lavish parties in the Middle East.

*shrug*

I wouldn't be surprised if this was her next soundbite.

I was under the impression (per some blinds [not sure if we're reading the same ones]) that she conducted her business overseas in the Middle East like her former BFF, Paris Hilton.

DailyLattes made that point upthread and it's a good one that I'm not overlooking.

Like I said, you are making zero sense.

As well they should.

Considering the rumors that I've heard about what that asshole really did to her (as opposed to what she's spoken about), I'm quite surprised that Christina would even want to be in the same room as her father.

Not only did she not expect him to stick around, she didn't expect him to actually want to be a father to their daughter.

You're not making any sense.

I hear you....

Neither do I, though too many women feel as if they have to.

1. 'Something weird' is putting it mildly. Poor Macaulay looks like stir-fried shit.

Yes, Negro.

And make a mint off of that.

What makes me angry is that there's a whole generation of young Black girls who are being taught (as we speak) to ignore their own hurt/insecurities and stay strong for young Black boys because 'they have a duty to do so'.

I see things differently, as those sorry woman-hating Negroes aren't representative of the entire community and are nothing like those that I've been raised by/with or those that I've had the pleasure of dating/being friends with. My only gripe is that the former are the ones that get the more visible platform than…

While I no longer consider myself a feminist, I'll agree with you 100% as a womanist. The minute a Black woman questions the misogyny in the community, they're branded as a traitor to the community and are told that that is why they will be alone for all eternity.
