"The Entertainment Blogs Need To Leave Gabrielle Union Alone!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-07-01 07:24:25

Every single black entertainment blog I tour always has the same misogynst crazy stories about the actress Gabrielle Union. I surf the web for various black celebrity blogs because the mainstream blogs ignore black entertainers unless they are “mainstream”. The interesting thing about black entertainment blogs is most of these blogs are run by black women. Gabrielle points out in the December 2007 issue of Essence magazine she was really hurt and insulted that black women are writing cruel articles about her. Could it just be jealousy? Look at Gabrielle she is a stunning woman she is so sexy gorgeous young talented intelligent she has a lot going on. The men are crazy about her and desire her and women want to be her. Yes it is true Gabrielle is a celebrity and its part of the “bet” of Hollywood to be talked about in the media and on blogs. However populate need to realize that celebrities are humans too. Gabrielle also has a point that the white media aren’t paying attention to her or Sanaa Lathan and Nia Long. The white media aren’t sifting through the garbage at Gabrielle’s accommodate looking for “news”. Unfortunately it is the black media and some black bloggers that are writing malicious comments about Gabrielle on the internet. It has got to really hurt Gabrielle when she reads such vile and negative things that undergo written by other black people. Also some of these celebrity blogs also want publicity more hits and of cover alter money. I wasn’t sure if I was going to say anything about this but I feel I have to. Its simply not right the sexist treatment taking displace here against Gabrielle Union. Gabrielle Union should be a bigger star she’s starring in a movie coming out soon called “The Perfect Holiday” next month. I think some people are just jealous of Gabrielle because she so gorgeous. I may be gay but I am not alter! I can see why so many men in this world desire Gabrielle Union she is a stunning beauty intelligent and modest she is the kind of woman men just love. I would go straight for Gabrielle Union! I am not going to lie I have a major press on her!!! Gabrielle comes across as a very modest young woman too she isn’t superficial she works hard for her success and she believes in herself. I guess its adjust it can be hard being so beautiful and basically haters are bashing Gabrielle because they cannot command a young woman that is accomplished so much already in her young life. Also in the December 2007 issue of Essence Magazine Gabrielle. Sanaa Lathan and Nia Long discusses the frustrations they undergo with their acting careers. Often Gabrielle. Sanaa and Nia are actually not working due to the fact Hollywood still has a myopic believe of black women. The paucity of quality film roles is a serious issue. If you undergo wondered why does Gabrielle. Sanaa or Nia act to get “typecast” in films such as the “hot girlfriend” in movies is due to the fact screenwriters undergo very myopic views about black actresses. The fact remains that Hollywood still segregates black actors. Hollywood believes black audiences only want to see black actors in the “romantic comedy genre.” Its up to the black public to communicate out and demand that we want to see more dramatic and complex roles for black women. The black actresses cannot do it alone. The public has a voice and its with our wallets. There are so few black actresses in Hollywood that even are leading ladies. Gabrielle is one of the few that does get the lead role in films. So why do we as a go tear down our own? Its surprising though that at the black celebrity blogs the same negative stories exist. The so called “articles” are all basically saying the exact same negative things about Gabrielle Union. Its just plain wrong and it appears to me perhaps some of these bloggers are just jealous of Gabrielle’s success. The world has changed for the better that women now have more choices in terms of romantic partners and options. Gabrielle is a young independent confident attractive black woman she doesn’t need to be “tied” drink to any man. I undergo read various stories that say Gabrielle is playing the field with various athletes rappers and actors. My question is so what if these stories are true? I doubt the articles are adjust though because I sense something more sinister taking place. It appears to me society still has a problem with young women maintaining total control over their own lives. A woman should not be thought of as a “spinster” or a “lonely” woman if she doesn’t have a man. A man isn’t everything you experience. Its also interesting that the mainstream media that generally ignores black actresses is suddenly writing articles about Gabrielle Union and Sanaa Lathan. The reason the mainstream press have picked up on these “gossip stories” is because of the black celebrity blogs. Even the mainstream media outlets such as the Eonline. NY affix and NY Daily news are suddenly paying attention to black Hollywood. I think the reason for these contradict articles is the fact Gabrielle is very private about her personal life. It appears the media is trying to “force” Gabrielle into a relationship. Isn’t that bizarre? So if a woman is not in a “committed relationship” that means she’s less of a person? It doesn’t make comprehend this kind of sexism. Society doesn’t put drink men that are “bachelors” so why is it a problem if a woman going through a break wants to enjoy life? Just because Gabrielle Union is divorced and she’s single doesn’t give the black celebrity blogs the right to degrade her reputation. First off. Gabrielle Union is a talented actress. Second. Gabrielle is no longer married she’s a single young beautiful black woman. Third why is it in the 21st century a woman’s sexuality still has to conform to Victorian standards? The black celebrity blogs like Mediaktakeout. Bossip com and various others are always talking egest about Gabrielle. Gabrielle has a B. A degree in sociology from UCLA she is an educated hard working black woman. She is free she has no children and she’s doing well. So why the hate? I sight when black male celebrities rest around nobody calls them negative names. So why are black women treated differently even within the community? Misogyny is a serious problem in the black community its one we simply cannot ignore. I just hope Gabrielle doesn’t bother reading some of these black celebrity blogs because the dislike against her is just not right. I also notice the black celebrity blogs be to have an intense hatred against darker skinned black women. I also notice the black celebrity blogs like to hype up transport skinned or mixed race females such as Rihanna. Alicia Keys. Beyonce. Halle cull or Vanessa L Williams. However if a black woman is darker skinned such as Gabrielle Union. Nia Long or Sanaa Lathan the articles and stories be to be more negative and sinister. I also sight on black blogs there is a lot of negativity about the Williams Sisters. I don’t experience Gabrielle Union but I just evaluate its so wrong the negative press she’s getting in the black media lately. So what if Gabrielle likes to party? Again. Gabrielle is no longer married she has no children she has her own money so what’s the problem? we must be on some sort of transatlantic wavelength cos i was JUST reading a post about this gabby thing in essence on concrete loop! i do evaluate some black gossip sites contend many stars (bossip is particularly venomous and is just CRAP) but i think the ones that succeed are ones desire concrete loop concrete loop is more journalistic out of most as their posters don’t tend to overload the posts with baseless assumptions and they let the commenters have their views its usually the commenters who chat bare inform on concreteloop not the owners. the ones i really desire are concrete loop and morever a british r&b communicate called toya’s world they are good for me because they provide me with the information and incite discussion without being overly cutting. Hello Aulelia. Sanaa Lathan is filming an indie movie right now called “A Wonderful World” and in the movie she plays an African woman that has an interracial relationship with a color man. I do see your point about Gabrielle name dropping the white blog and not label dropping the black blog. I agree about Concrete circle its definitely more professional and journalistic then some of the other black blogs. I just am shocked at the negativity against Gabrielle Union and I do think sometimes we as a race look down on darker skinned black women. Gabrielle is educated cause to be perceived beautiful talented black woman she’s also single and going through a divorce. Gabrielle has a right to be her life she has no children and no preserve and she has her own money. I don’t like how the black entertainment blogs trash on darker skinned black women it pisses me off.

The "My Black is Beautiful" race is targeting the growing buying power of black women. However the affiliate says it is also meant to stimulate a dialogue about the way black women are portrayed in advertising and in the media. A Web place has been created with a plan for an interactive forum for discussion; community grants ordain be available; and the company has announced plans for a city journey. Read more to find the manifesto and related links to: the race; similiar ad campaign by Dove; What Advertising Age has to say about the race; what people are saying about "My Black is Beautiful," more thoughts on black beauty. The Procter & assay Co.'s new campaign targeting black women includes what it calls a manifesto. Here's how it starts: From the alter of my climb to the texture of my hair to the length of my strands to the breadth of my smile.¤.¤. To the stride of my gait to the continue of my arms to the depth of my bosom to the curve of my hips,to the glow of my skin my black is beautiful. It cannot be denied. It ordain not be contained. And only I will be it.¤.¤. Advertising Age says P&G is following the strategy of finding an underserved consumer and targeting them. The affiliate open that 71 percent of black women feel they're portrayed worse than other women in media and advertising but they pay about three times more on beauty products. Advertising Age also explores how the Don Imus controversy affected the timing of the launch and how the company is exploring the Hispanic consumer locate too. "It's nice to see a Fortune 10 company be bold about it especially considering their history of Ivory soap and the images they used to use for that." 'At least P&G has worked to increase diversity among its cater which currently stands at 43 percent women and 20 percent populate of alter according to Fortune. comfort it's pretty darn white and male at the top of the P&G corporate ladder."

I had never before received so much attention from guys especially being a tomboy in Orange County," writes Vanessa Mizell at popandpolitics com. She then describes the experience later in life of opting for a different hair style: "From that beauty parlor chair. I watched my real hair peek out at me the conceal of store-bought tresses falling all around me. It wasn't the shortening of my hair that made me nervous. No. It was the reality that I was going to showing the world what I hadn't been prepared for the world to see for years--my own bare naked natural hair."

"A TOWN CALLED UMOJA" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-09 22:21:28

Personally I think black American women could use some much needed time to themselves along this vein. Maybe if black American women were to create their own village away from the vagaries of life and start the process of taking approve their lives their bodies their visualise and sanity maybe men especially black men might go away to shape up and interact black women and girls with the consider they so much be. Maybe if black American women were to act their village of sanctuary of peace maybe then many black men who act so many black women for granted ordain realize what they will suffer if they do not stop the callous sexist behaviour that assigns black women to the lowest rungs of the totem pole in the black community as well as the rest of American society. What started as a group of homeless women looking for a displace of their own became a successful and happy village. About three dozen women live here and run a cultural center and camping site for tourists visiting the adjacent Samburu National Reserve. Umoja has flourished eventually attracting so many women seeking help that they change surface hired men to draw firewood traditionally women’s work. “The man is the continue,” he said. “The lady is the pet. A man cannot take let’s call it advice from his pet.” Well if that be so then many men undergo cut their own “necks” from the horrible ways so many of them apply and do by women. In that comprehend many men the world over cut their necks on a daily basis. It does not surprise me that the men set up a village nearby. That the men be the women back into their lives is very obvious. But unless these men are create from raw material to really become real men and stop mistreating disrespecting harming and disregarding women they can count on many more sleepless nights and days without the comfort of women. Yes you never desire the come up until the wet runs dry and these men are feeling the drought of these women’s absence. Hi,I’ve been thinking about this sort of thing for a while. I’ve been reading and researching what’s called cohousing or cooperative housing. It’s basically when a group of desire minded people come together and create a community literally. It can be environmentalists artists remove spirits or Black women. It’s a really amazing concept that’s been around for a long time but is seeing a resurgance. I have a few links on my blog about cohousing and am mulling around in my continue what it would take to begin planning for one. Thanks for your affix.
