@ Lucrecia - AGREED!

@Lucrecia: I'm definitely not coming at Barack Obama. He is definitely a positive image as far as what I've seen of him. People shouldn't expect more from him then what he is. That would be unfair to him and us. If he really had the power to change anything signifigant using that office, then he would've never been put in that position. Example: ... See MoreIf the economy wouldn't have collapsed during the campaign, then I'm almost positive John McCain would've been President. I'm not going to get into the politics of anything, because it's not about that to me. The overall system is not for us, wether it's Obama, Clinton, or Bush.. Continue to think that the system will one day correct everything if you want. We have to correct things.

Deep.

Nice!

@Chris: Black is more than an attitude, its a Race of people. Black have their own entire history. Im not African American, Afro American.... Im Black and Im proud.

@Robb: You are right brother, but we're more than just black too. We're not a color, we are (like you said) a people.
@Dutch: In the context of "Black" peoples struggles in this land. Do you feel that you have to take any "personal responsibility" for righting any wrongs?

Tareef, this is an issue i have discussed with many ppl. wanting them to understand than relaxing and straightening the hair wasn't created to "make it more managable", but to make us more them. we've been conditioned over years, decades, and generation to practice self hatred of our skin, hair and features. it took me years of being ridiculed by ... See Morewhite, light, and dark alike, suffer years of verbal abuse from the one accepted me on the alter and a period of self hatred and rejection to finally rebel and say, " i don't care! this is me, i love what i look like! if you can't accept it, i don't know what to tell you!" and it's a wonderful feeling of elation and i want others to experience it as well. we just have to accept ourselves for who we really are. and you're right, no one wants to hear it when it becomes about ourselves.

Lucrecia, true and I know it is hard for Black women. Unfortunately Black men play a HUGE part in this... How can you TRULY love yourself and your heritage, without issue, if you have light foundation and permed hair, or other modifications. Until we give up the Ghost, we will never be free from these destructive actions.

wow

Excellent documentary, by the way.

love this

I didn't see the Jimmy Kimmel interview. What did he say?

What's the difference between Sammy Sosa and sisters who straighten their hair and wear weaves? Why do brothers give fair skinned or mixed sisters passes for behavior they wouldn't tolerate from a darker complexioned sister? I feel sorry for Sammy Sosa, but I also feel sorry for us! Everyday we reinforce all the attitudes that make someone like Sammy Sosa feel that being of a lighter complexion is an advantage....

Most people don't even know what "the cause" is! Just sounds are looks good...
