Asians, in particular, not being subjected to daily multicultural mind-soaking, typically find blacks repulsive. This is why black models are underrepresented in advertising -- what's more important to a sponsor, selling their product or making blacks feel better about themselves?<BR/><BR/>When very young black children show a preference for white dolls, it's not the result of "internalizing white supremacist conditioning." It's either the result of having had bad experiences at the hands of other blacks, or just instinctively sensing that "white" equals "cleaner," "safer," and "better."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-83129701951986610592008-09-28T19:02:00.000-05:002008-09-28T19:02:00.000-05:00Wait, you're from St. Louis!?!?!?

This film in particular is painful to watch. It really reinforces the negative ways our society shapes children's minds, specifically black children and youth. <BR/><BR/>And you have to know that white children would do the same thing...teaching them a sense of privilege and superiority that we spend the rest of our lives trying to disabuse them of in our courses. <BR/><BR/>It makes me think that the old Black Panther phrase, Black is Beautiful, needs to be brought out, taught, and embraced once again...for all our children.Lesboprofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09249806181782620274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-82667737535659839042008-09-25T18:25:00.000-05:002008-09-25T18:25:00.000-05:00Just watched "A Girl Like Me" on You Tube.The bit ...Just watched "A Girl Like Me" on You Tube.The bit with the dolls was distubing and sad.I'm a Brit living in The Bahamas and my girlfriend looks like Jennifer in the film.I think she's beautiful but most local guys wouldn't look twice.Another thing,most of the banks,resorts,restaurants etc will not hire a woman with natural hair or locks or buds which i find bewildering in a 'black' country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-85009700987063147322008-09-25T18:01:00.000-05:002008-09-25T18:01:00.000-05:00Hey there!This is an important topic!White suprema...Hey there!<BR/><BR/>This is an important topic!<BR/><BR/>White supremacist conditioning impacts children as young as one and two years old when it has been internalized by their parents.<BR/><BR/>Many black children hear more negative comments about being black and about black people from the mouths of blacks than from non-blacks.<BR/><BR/>It is important that children understand that blackness IS NOT the problem...racism is the problem. <BR/><BR/>Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!<BR/>LisaLISA VAZQUEZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583559303233985031noreply@blogger.com
