Just A Thought

This is Lil Kim last night and this post started out like majority of my ishh but I had to stop when I looked at this picture. Why do we as Black women hate ourselves so much? I rock weaves, I rock my natural hair and I love me some wigs...love em. But when is enough-enough? I look at this picture of Kim and I can no longer see the young Black female that I grew up with. And the sad thing is that this is not an isolated incident. Young Black girls and women all over the country truly hate themselves rather they know it or not. When you try to change your appearance THAT much that shit aint self love. When you look in the mirror and you don't like what you see we're not loving ourselves. Is it the media? Our upbringing? Our environment? WTF is it? Because I don't want it anymore. I don't want to see my sister taking skin lightening cream because she feels like she is to damn dark. Wtf is wrong with us that we want to look like anybody else but US?

There are some girls out there that put on so damn much makeup that when it comes off they look like an entirely different person! The picture above disturbed me on a different level...this shit aint funny..this isn't a time to shake our heads and say what the phuck is wrong with Lil Kim? This is a time to say wtf is wrong with us as a community that we have little girls and grown ass women wishing they were something different.
