The other day I was watching videos with my spousal unit. As I gazed at one mindless video after the other I realized I had not seen one single black girl. I don’t mean just dark skin I mean black or any variation there of. I couldn’t spot a bi-racial, multi-cultural nothing. I could not spot any other color than sprayed on cinnamon tans.

After my realization I turn to him and ask “They don’t put black girls in videos anymore? He replies “Yes, they do!!”
But, I could hear the puzzlement in his voice. “Ok” I say “Find one.” He stops and looks at the video for several seconds. “There’s one” he points to a cinnamon color video vixen dancing next to some rapper.. Young Joc..Young Jeezy..Young I Can’t Understand What the Hell You Are Saying. Anywoo…

“Nope, she’s not black just tan” I say with a little bite in my voice. He replies with this classic masterpiece of a comment “I GUESS BLACK GIRLS AREN’T IN ANYMORE”
STOP!!! THE PRESSES….NO ONE TOLD ME THAT BLACK GIRLS WEREN’T “IN’ ANYMORE. Ain’t that some shit.!!!

The really bad part about it is I think there is some truth to that twisted comment. I can remember growing up when"US" black girls came in out of style like bad 80’s clothing choices. You know fluorescent headbands... black girls... scrunchie socks..black girls..acid wash jeans.. black girls. We never were a long standing fad like Jheri Curls.
I am use to being showed up by the high yella’ sistas with the mysterious hair texture..not quite nappy... not quite straight(but they still need a relaxer for the "friz") . I am also at peace with those strange erotic beauties that in the 90’s and early 2000 all the “famous” brothers married and have since divorced. The women you knew they could never get unless they had a gazillion zeros following their last names.
You know the women that you could not quite nail down their nationality...and or ethnic background. I had become convinced there was an island somewhere in the Pacific where brothers went to “marry” these women and bring them back to the states. These women never talked and were happy to make TONS of babies. There were always listed as “models” when their history was revealed.

Ok. I lost track. Oh I remember now. But, now we aren’t in style anymore at all. I hate to say it but, much like those trends from the 80’s. We are left to sit in the corner waiting our turn. Waiting until some ugly ass rapper decides we are cute enough to back him up in a lame video wearing nothing but dental floss and heels while he is dressed in 5 layers of clothes, a goose down feather parka and timbos. Ain’t that a trip!!

God knew what he was doing when he made black folks. We are MAGNIFICENT in form. We are CRAZY BEAUTIFUL. Looking at a black man in the nude it’s hard to believe that Adam, himself created by God had anything on them (which is why I also believe they are no dang on good. Because, they are so dang on fine!!) Sorry got lost again. Apparently, they are also dumb as all get out. Black men are the ONLY men who think that black women aren’t the Queens of the Earth and beauty to behold!!! Ask any jaw gapping white man watching a sister walk down the street with her corporate suit hugging All the right places. Ask any Latino brother who loves to yell “Hey Mami” as we walk down the street.

So I encourage all the women..excuse me. I urge Black women to unite and fight back. Stop putting brothers in our videos, movies etc. Dude, if I was an artist now. My video would be packed with Latino and White men in speedos and timbos dancing wildly to my “dope beats”. Every photo layout we should use men from other “ethnic backgrounds” as well placed props. I encourage every single sister out there to go out and get you a little “Something New.” We thought were doing something when the yella brothers went out of style with Christopher Williams and DeBarge!! They ain’t seen nothing yet until we ban.. BAN them all.

Now just so I don't give the impression that all brothers support this sick idea of black sister being out. Check out my newest blog crush:http://alwaysfunkyfresh.wordpress.com/

He speaks on it too and shares some light from the black man's perspective.
