This Ethiopian woman basically said, “black women aint shit”

I was in shock listening to this idiotic woman, filled with self-hate. She says it’s been 60 years since the civil rights movement, and yet we black americans are in a “worser” position than we were then. In my opinion, people like her are the reason why that may be, if there is even any truth in that statement. I’m really confused as to how she could start the video off vouching for all of the black women who are in interracial relationships, but then go immediately into saying that there’s usually no chance in hell for a black american woman to date outside her race. Then she goes into how desperate black women are, that they’re flocking to asian men. PAUSE. She’s a black woman and married to an asian man. What about that makes sense? If there are enough black women in interracial relationships for her to say that the majority of them have similar life goals with whoever they’re dating, where is she getting that most don’t have a chance? If her husband is asian, wouldn’t she be one of the desperate?

Then she says most black women have no idea how non-blacks perceive us. I’m trying to figure out what kind of drug she’s on. Who could possibly know more than we do about how non-blacks perceive us? What comes on (or doesn’t come on) TV is a constant reminder of all the stereotypes and negative perceptions of us. I’ve noticed with all of the fuss over Tyler Perry movies and BET shows, that’s something we’ve been pretty vocal about lately. It;s really interesting that she had to break down black americans into several categories. She’s delusional if she thinks that non-blacks break us down into those categories. Black is black in everyone else’s eyes. She’s stupid for thinking that a non-black thinks differently of her because she’s a first or second-generation African. Hell, looking at her, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of (equally ignorant) people didn’t think that she was going to bomb something. That’s when she’d probably want to pass as a black american.

There are a few things that she said that I do agree with, though I hate to admit it. A lot of black women are looking for father figures they never had. I would stretch this to say a lot of women, period are looking for father figures they never had. At this point, a lot of American women grew up in some type of fatherless home, even if the father lived with them. That’s nothing new and I do think it has contributed to a lot of the issues our society has. Look at pretty much any show on MTV or an episode of Intervention, and tell me where the father was/is. Those shows don’t largely have black people on them. The other thing she says is “most people see black people and they just see failure”. If all they’re seeing is media perceptions, and many of them are, that may be true. I’m not going to argue with it, but if she thinks that’s not what people see looking at her, just because she’s Ethiopian, she’s wrong.

The other thing she killed me with was implying that black american-born women don’t have our own culture. FAIL! That’s exactly what our culture is, being black american-born women. We have a distinctive history in this country. This country would definitely not be what it is if not for the black american-born woman. We have made our mark and continue to do so. From Harriet Tubman, to Michelle Obama, you can not tell me black women are not the shit!

As she’s going on about how she’s not interested in her husbands culture (what the hell is she interested in than?), and how she has her own culture and language, it occurred to me that this is probably her real problem. She doesn’t have her own culture! She’s an american-born, second generation Ethiopian, and was probably rejected by black and white americans alike. If her (parents’) culture and language were so great, why it is she feels the need to live in the U.S. as a black american and speak English. Why doesn’t she move back to Ethiopia? I’m guessing with all of the violence happening over there, to her, that might be “worser” than moving into a black neighborhood. LOL…If you can’t tell, I had a huge problem with her saying “worser”, and then saying black women can’t speak proper English.

The end of her video really speaks the truth. She can’t keep it together. She’s all over the place, saying a bunch of things that don’t make sense or are contradictory. All in all, she’s just really insecure and intimidated by us beautiful, american-born descendants of West-African slaves. She’s pretty scared that one of us might take her man. She’s trying really hard to convince herself all that nonsense she made up about us is true to reassure herself that her man wouldn’t want one of us. She needs to understand if it weren’t for “us” she wouldn’t have a chance in hell at being on U.S. soil, married to an Asian, with freedom of speech rights, talking shit about us on a U.S. originated web site. Love yourself. Happy Black History Month!!
