Echo Chambers... Everyone keeps telling you are at the bottom, treating you like it, telling you you are worthless, you eventually believe it.

Everyone told me the same thing (especially being a foreigner). Difference is, when I got home all my parents and family could talk about was how much better we were than any other humans on earth.

I'm not saying you gotta go all the way hyperbolic, but you have to offer some strong positive reinforcement at home.

Why do ya'll think all Nigerians are so full of ourselves? We've been told this shyt from day 1 :blessed:

I can't lie. We had video vixens that we lusted after when I was in middle school(2001-2004). But we didn't have the Internet at our finger tips, and we had more realistic ideas of what we found attracive. IG and the smartphone era changed the game. The IG model light-skinned factory is in full force. I could see why a young black girls could develop critical self esteem when Lira Galore is the standard. Seems like age old colorism could be the root to me.

Im pretty sure the #NoDarkButts hashtag and pawg patrol putting in work wont help. Social media trending topics are chicks showing skin or twerking on vine smh.

I gotta put in triple OT raising my daughter

I am in no way blaming black men/boys but i worked with kids for a week back in September and these little black boys are brain washed as to what beauty is and they project their views on these little black girls :francis:

And who usually brainwashes those little Black boys? Their own mothers usually brainwash them talking about how pretty something is that has light skin and "good hurr." So if you want to keep it real then this goes back to Black women self hating themselves and other Black women.

Or you can chose not to listen to that dumb shyt and the people that are saying it.

That's ideal, but for a young girl, sometimes it's a little more difficult. I got 2 younger sisters bro. shyt happens. You never know what somebody's been through

It is not more difficult. If you let people define you then you are what they say that you are. And this social media bullshyt is bullshyt anyway and all that people have to do is sign off. People lived centuries without that shyt, so it can be be done.

Just trying to get black girls on pysch meds at an early age.

You people are pretty naïve if you think these reports get published with anything other than capitalistic aims in mind. They don't give a fukk about little black girls. We should be skeptical about everything going forward.


This where the fukk do they even get these stats. Too much bullshyt information these days.shyt is called puberty.

Coli doesn't give a fukk about economic empowerment or ownership....:hubie:

We rather let cacs handle all that shyt and own and control everything then we complain about the outcome :snoop:



It's obvious it's time to BUILD

The "militants" you and others like you like shytting on, talk endlessly about Black folks gaining power in this country or our own countries. But, naw we're just a bunch of keyboard militants who are fraudulent, and nothing more.

Let me ask you and some of these other nikkas a question, do you actually..... genuinely care...At all?

You've been going off on a group economics tangent only after this thread popped up....Rejecting Pawgs is Integral to defeating WS shyt's looking like a bunch of charades and pump faking because nikkas challenged your ability to sex Non-Black women. It's transparent as fukk but, I'ma let you fraudulent "I care about the race only when it's convenient" nikkas cook.

And I'll be completely honest, some of ya'll nikkas give two fukks about the feelings and experiences of Black girls and women and their overall well being. The fact that we have nikkas in this thread dismissing their experiences says it all.....If ya'll nikkas knew for a second the extreme amount of shots thrown at Black girls self esteem at all days of their lives...You nikkas wouldn't dare be so passive about this.

Lived centuries without what?

And if we were talking about grown women, then I'd agree, but a young girl in middle school having depression or low self esteem isn't something I would automatically say is their own fault.

I've worked with ppl with depression, PTSD, etc before, and they usually are that way for a reason. Sometimes it's from rape, abuse, abandonment, etc. My sister went through a deep depression when my dad died. This place hates black women but didn't know y'all hated black girls too.

I don't agree with ppl saying it's black men's fault, but stop acting like black girls aren't humans

Exactly. Who is conducting these studies and where? I would like to see the standardized burden of proof. Answering yes to "have you ever been sad before?" doesn't mean you're depressed.

They force medicate kids as early as kindergarteners. If a kid is hyper active and running around (which is normal btw) they will diagnose it as ADHD to justify the unneeded, harmful medication and most parents just blindly go along with it.
Didn't you hear? Kids acting like kids is a crime.

Millions of parents still can't let go of paternalism in this day and age where everything is at your fingertips. The doctor will always be the third parent.

Black ppl dont believe in depression even though many of our people suffer from it without even realizing it. Instead of getting treatment or talking about it, nikkas turn to other means as an escapism, to cope with the stuff we go through
