Lil Kim the sex symbol didn't come about until her adulthood. Saying men and women looked up to her (during her career) minimizes the personal experiences she went through as a child and a teenager. I don't believe for one second she is lying. It's so easy for men to downplay a woman's issues if they deem her fukkable, your post proves that. In her quote she talks about not being pretty enough as a cause for her issues but you quickly resorted to her sexual attractiveness as a means to negate that. So many black women are sexualized to the point that that's all they know how to be to receive attention from men. Guess some black women should just be happy to be someone you would fcuk right?
I dont know what to say to you. This has nothing to do with black men and everything to do with the white supremacist/eurocentrist system and the white standards of beauty perpetuated by white men in power who put white women at front in center as that standard.
Black men...do not control the media. Do not control these fashion shoots. Do not cast these fashion shoots. Do not own the magazines like Vogue, W, V, esquire, that continue to perpetuate these beauty standards. Do not own these cable stations. Do not own the movie studios. See what im saying.
To blame black men for the bad decisions of black women is absolutely a disservice to black people period.
Seems some of you have resentment issues towards black men that you seriously need to get over. This scapegoating legitimately makes absolutely no sense in hindsight.
Your issues should be with the rest of society....not us.
