Grace Jones was a Black Madonna. So was Eartha Kitt. Donna Summer was a Black Madonna. Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill are Black Madonnas. THOSE WOMEN....love themselves....are STRONG and DEFIANT....they have "something to say/a point of view".....they celebrate themselves, love their own images and DEMAND their voices be heard. While I loved hearing Mary J. Blige sing....I couldn't stand watching her videos...because I HATE to see her with Blonde hair. It was so degrading and insulting to me. Disgusting. Janet Jackson was another kiss-ass "please like me" artist....who catered to POP culture rather than set the standard....as her brother did. Well, one thing she set--was women's dancing. And I actually loved her first two albums---she was the shit in the beginning, but then she SOLD OUT. Whitney Houston was my FAVORITE---even more than Madonna----but then she totally self-destructed. _________________ Kola: I don't like black women in white women's drag. It's insulting. Mah: From your mouth, to RuPaul's ears. RUPAUL is a whole other story. I'm talking BLACK WOMEN...like "Beyonce" who basically are walking advertisements for Whiteness...totally big-upping the White Woman's image in everything they do. Conditioning our men to seek the Whiteness in a woman. I can't take Beyonce, although I like her voice and her beauty. But it's the way she SELLS OUT, constantly---and it's because she comes from a SELLOUT FATHER. It's in her to be like that. You will find many black girls who want to be Julia Roberts---not Sanaa Lathan. Just as I love Madonna for LOVING HERSELF....I don't love black women artists who reveal too much self-rejection. That ruins their appeal. |
