These days it’s all about the ass and twerking and other nonsensical jibber jabber. It hurts my heart. It gives me great unease to see black women objectified, but the new chasm in my life is the fact that sistas are objectifying themselves. I peruse through photos that my instagram followers have liked and all I see is ASS ASS ASS ASS. Chicks just putting it all out there for non-factor ass people who lurk on their pages to give them cyber validation. I wonder, how do they see themselves. Are they proud, independent, hard-working, god-fearing, soft spoken, super diva, around the way girl type women? Or are they a scared little black girl stuck in a woman’s body looking for love in all the wrong places? Do you realize you’re hurting yourself.
You may say…it’s more than black women posting provocative photos on instagram, but let me clarify my position. My focus, my interest, my passion, my pride, my love is for MY PEOPLE. Now…
Who are the people who double tap photos of women in thongs with their asses perched on bathroom countertops? Who are the people who people who comment “Bad Bitch” like that’s a badge of honor? Who are the people who comment in every conceivable disrespectful word, phrase, and emoji?
Bottom feeders, horny cyber dwellers, lost souls who don’t have a sense of pride or respect for themselves so how in the hell can they respect and empower the chick who is looking for love in all the wrong places? It’s the blind egging on the blind. The lost sending pinpoints to the lost. It’s a cycle of ignorance that has always been here…it’s just easier to see in this age of technology.
Scared little black girl stuck in a woman’s body, you are beautiful, you are special, you are intelligent, you are worthy, you are loved because God made you so. Put your efforts into respecting yourself and not seeking attention from men who are not mature enough to respect themselves.
To quote whoever in the hell RuPaul got this from…”If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?”
