Black Children Ashamed of the Way They Look

Words and images have meaning. I keep saying this over and over. I'll Keep saying it. Today's Oprah Show is about Children Ashamed of the Way They Look . The show includes a Black mother who prayed for her son to be born with light skin. Another guest is an 18-year old filmmaker who reveals how black children really feel about their race. So put down the Bar B-Q brisket and watch this show if it hasn't already come on in your viewing area.

This site is called What About Our Daughters. It think this show will reinforce the idea that the minds of Black children are being warped by what they are seeing and hearing and NO ONE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT!

We're going to change that!

I linked to this site from www.brownsista.com and I'm glad I did. I was wondering when black celebrity news would be actually linked to black reality and made relevant. Thanks
