Ha! Ha! Ha! That’s funny. No playing. Yes, I posted both articles. And if you had taken the time to notice, I commented how sad both were. The subjects are real, not products of my imagination. They are both real issues that impact the lives of many black people. But you have never heard me make any racist comments pitting black people against one another because of their skin color. To me, this "light skin/dark skin color game" is pathetic and counterproductive. That is why I was agreeing with Abm. No hypocrisy here my dear!

Ntfs

You are a hypocrite.

Why post those two articles, regardless of them being sad, if you were so tired of the subjects? You contributed to the exact thing you're putting down others for.

Me myself, I never started any threads on any such subjects. I rarely give my opinion on them. I mostly defend the character of Kola Boof on here.

If truth be told, I don't agree with a lot of what Kola says. I just like Kola and the type of woman she is. I admire her nerve and she's a fabulous writer.

Abm has ignored each post I directed at him for some reason, so I won't even bother addressing his newly egotistical ass.

Why is it necesssary for a character to suddenly pop up on this board to represent and defend kola boof??? Roxie and Renata perform that function. And, of course it should come as no suprise to anyone that I agree with ABM and Nfs. Nobody has ever changed anybody else's mind during these heated debates.

I didn't SUDDENLY POP UP.

I was here when Kola was here. I've been here as Donecia when there was only one board and starting last year as PrettyBaby. I prefer to lurk, but I come out of the shadows when people dump on Kola Boof.

It ain't about changing anybody's mind. It's about expressing one's SELF, which we ALL have the right to do. And I don't appreciate being intimidated not to. But keep on expressing; IT'S YOUR RIGHT.

Puleeze. You attempt to intimidate as much as anybody else, Tonya. And when that doesn't work, you resort to name-calling.

I know one thing that's for sure. I am a dark skinned black woman, almost chocolate, who has not been able to relate to any of Kola and Tonya's petty insecurities or their exaggerations. Kola uses color to make money off lonely black women. I have always had a full happy life, I'm surrounded by every shade of black, I get on well with light skinned sisters, in fact we're just that--sisters. Black men have always been great towards me. I've had more than my share. I have not experienced any of this crap about color that these women exploit to separate us.

Abm why don't you go to a chatroom where you can meet all the pretty white girls you want. Then you won't have to listen to Proud Black Folks rant all day long.

P.S While you are there pick out a nice piece of strong rope for her daddy to hang you with.

Welcome back, ABM!

Nothing like a wealth of family love to remind you which of the members need to stop drinking and which ones might actually make some sense if they started.

Sadly though it would seem the babies can't get away from that milk tit long enough to actually think about and comment on anything else.
But there are still a few of us grown folks who would actually enjoy changing the channel long enough for the cartoons to go off.

Enchanted,

Kola and Tonya do not go around referring to dark-skinned women as lonely, single, desperate black women.... We said that they're devalued, yes. Marginalized, yeah that too. But when did we say that they're lonely in any way? What's more, it's funny how fast you brought up your experience to contest something that's obviously a figment of your imagination; so quick to let us know you live a happy life; that you're not jealous of light-skinned women; and that "black men have always been great towards" you. Hmmmm. That's strange because Kola and I do not paint pictures of lonely, unhappy, jealous-hearted black women.

...Pull a thread.

A lot of stuff you all argue about concerting race, skincolor is entertaining and enlightening. But while an apple a day will keeps the doctor away, too many apples will eventually give your a$$ GAS.

And, I gottah tell ya, it's really FUNKY up in hur right now.

What if all you have is apples??? You can't talk about race, culture, or even economy - not in a room full of black folks - without talking about color! It can't be done.

Oh, Abm, we're just fooling around; besides, this thread gives us a chance to beat each other down without referring to each other's skin color directly, lol. Seriously, though.. I think you made a good point. There's so many other things we should be discussing. And even when/if we decide to discuss color, it should done diplomatically. You're right, it's time for us to stop all the pettiness.

Abm:

First, if you were bored you should have not mentioned anything about it, rather than started a thread.

Obviously nobody else is bored about it, judging from the number of threads and the number of posts on this one.

You are fighting a losing battle. Let it go.

You are a hypocrite.

### I don’t think so. And you cannot produce one post that I have submitted where I contradicted myself. Anything I have submitted as been very consistent. Perhaps you should take the time to pick up the dictionary and research the meaning of the word “hypocrite”. Your usage here is totally incorrect. If you disagree with what I post, fine. I have no problems with that. Just state your disagreement and explain why an individual is incorrect or misguided. It’s the spice of civil disagreement and diversity of opinions that makes this board interesting. But false accusations and have no place here.

Why post those two articles, regardless of them being sad, if you were so tired of the subjects? You contributed to the exact thing you're putting down others for.

### Such as?? Please point out where I was pointing out the ignorance and futility of calling other black people the “N” word, preaching the value and importance of being light or dark complexioned or dating a non-black person and then directly contradicting such assertions in another post. Such behavior would constitute hypocrisy my dear. Again, get a dictionary and look up the meaning because you seem to be very confused. Again, if you object to what I post, state why and present a compelling counter argument. But leave the silly nefarious accusations out.

The two articles I posted were provocative and raised a lot of questions. Granted I could have posted something much more politically, artistically or socially complex, but sometimes I come across articles that are outrageous or potentially explosive. Light hearted and not complex, but worthy of a comment (IMO). But your “hypocrisy” accusation is bogus and ill placed. GET A DICTIONARY AND STUDY!
