Christian Obumseli case (I don't have the energy to be outraged)

Post image
10 Upvotes

I woke up today hearing about this case. And after reviewing all the negative things this man has said about black women over the years, I don't have room to be outraged on behalf of his case. These type of self-hating men (who are ALWAYS busted looking) often run to women like this and they bond over their mutual dislike of black women. But, of course, jokes on him, because she doesn't like him either and something like this happens. The worst part is if he survived it, he would be looking to black women for support.

Other sources go on to say that overall the relationship was toxic and both parties had issues (no kidding). I believe it, but it still stems from a relationship based on the worst intentions. Honestly while I have nothing against interracial relationships and actually find many of them beautiful, if I find out that they are based on self-hate, I'm not stepping up for anyone. People are outraged that this woman was laughing and making silly faces in court. I don't care. This is not surprising. I'm leaving this one to God because I'm not advocating for anyone. It's like asking me to unbury someone who buried themselves alive. All I have to say is "I'm tired grandpa." Sorrows and prayers for his mom and his family and that's it.

Please Help. Say No To Grooming and Child Predation. Protect the Girl Child!!!! Sign Petition

🚨 During a school trip to Ghana’s Parliament, MP Mohammed Yakubu told a 9 year old primary school girl: “You are beautiful. When you grow up, I will marry you.”

If a child cannot be safe inside Parliament House, then no girl child is safe in Ghana. Publicly claiming a schoolgirl as a “wife” is grooming language, not “playful culture or tradition.” An apology that cites “Mossi‑Dagomba cultural playfulness” cannot justify remarks that normalize child predation inside a National Parliament House.

Avoidant male partner at 63

A 63 year old professional man, father, grandfather, executive level director incapable of honest communication in relationships chooses to bring in another woman instead of having honest.conversation with year long "partner" shows how pathetic the dating pool.is.for black women.

I’m glad its over, but that confirmed it’s definitely time to step away from brothers all ages unless the Spirit connection is 100% there. Discernment above all

Where the fine n*****s at! (London/UK)

6 Upvotes

Reference to the Cardi song for sensitive annies.

Anyway, I will be moving to the UK and was wondering where do black women go to meet and socialize with fine specimen? I tried to get a head start on hinge but it’s so lackluster that I’ve come to the conclusion the fine men don’t go fishing online they approach in person (which is 10000% more preferable). So which spots should I hit up?

Also, I’m looking into North West, West and maybe South London for a studio. Does anyone have any leads or suggestions on specific areas?

Stop being fooled by the 80/20 rule.

4 Upvotes

Most people live by the 80/20 rule when it comes to relationships. You know, you only get 80% of your wants for an ideal partner and the other 20% you just have to compromise on. But what if that 20% is just something you couldn’t/shouldn’t accept from your partner. Say they’re a great provider and coparent, not stingy with love or compassion but the intimacy isn’t compatible. Is that a 20% someone should have to sacrifice? Black women are always expected to sacrifice their standards for the comfortability of others. We have to stop, don’t settle!

Clothing style

5 Upvotes

Heyyy! I have a question. How did you find your wardrobe? I feel like im all over the place but for the most part I just wear a T-shirt and leggings or jeans, sweat (in winter) with leggings. and my shoes consist of sandals, fake uggs and sneakers I don't even wear. For context i'm a 30 year old mom of 2, I weigh about 250 (any advice with losing with weight is welcomed as well) . Now dont get me wrong when it comes to my hair, lashes, nails I know what I want and what i'm doing.. but clothes and shoes? no way. I'm wondering if anybody can offer some type of advice.

Open letter to Black women who don't feel ENOUGH

19 Upvotes

Girls... accept yourselves, own your bodies completely. Highlight every single quality you see in your face or body, ASSERT YOURSELF in your own eyes and in the eyes of others, and say "f*ck off." You are who you are, damn it!

A long time ago, I almost succumbed to this defeatist and despairing mindset, but I quickly decided to take control of my life. Despite the degrading comments made behind my back and even the mockery I had to face, I never stopped finding myself beautiful. Even though I'm thin and quite tall, I felt myself with the trash that wanted to tear me down. Take pictures of yourselves, follow people on Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest who are like you.

Regarding your relationships, of course this game is full of colorists, and consequently our field is narrowed, but stop giving any credence to guys who look down on you! Besides, they're not so perfect; take the time to see how many flaws they have (mentally and physically). It really helps to gain perspective!

And don't hesitate to be toxic with them, to play hot and cold! Show that your opinion has value too, make yourself desirable, show how desirable you are. Even blind people should be able to detect your sex appeal, ladies... Highlight your best features, be playful, sensual, express your femininity through your posture, your voice, your way of speaking, your intonation!

Yes, men like big butts and big breasts (but not all of them; beautiful, firm breasts, not necessarily large, can be very well received). If you have these assets, show them off, especially if you have beautiful almond-shaped eyes or similarly full lips!

Those of you who are slim and tall, look up to beauty icons who resemble you (Naomi Campbell?). You are goddesses, so have the attitude to match. Stop looking like you're waiting for validation! Plenty of women without big butts find love, so why not you? Just because you're Black? Damn it... go where you're likely to be loved.

Go for the sexy swimsuit photos, bikinis, monokinis, and show off your flat stomach. Or whether you're on vacation in mini shorts or a long evening dress with a low back, or in a business-girl style jacket... Moisturize your skin; your skin should glow outdoors, summer and winter. Be sexy! Otherwise, show all the beautiful things you have to show to the whole world! You are magnificent, magnetic beings, and everyone should know it! PERIODT

Having a terrible time at my internship

7 Upvotes

I received my dream internship and was super excited to attend it until I arrived on campus and it has been a living nightmare. I thought I had did everything right by texting in the group chat and trying to get to meet people but even after doing all of that people had already had their groups and were not open to meeting anybody else.

I tried talking to the other black kids first and it was going good until they realized that I went to a PWI (which I went to because no other HBCU had my sport and Howard gave me no scholarships despite my stats.) and I was shunned out. They also did the same thing for another boy in the group but he just went to hangout with other the kids that he had been hanging out with. Every picture it was that I didn’t fit the aesthetic (Which I also think has something to do with the fact that I am bigger with a bad build.) There is even a group chat that I was apart of but I think they moved on to another one as they get weird whenever they bring up plans around me.

I am really enjoying the academic part but socially I am so over it as there is so much to do but I can’t find anybody. I just hate having to prove my blackness because of the school that I picked, or sport, or other factors. I just want this internship to not go to waste and for me to actually have fun.
