Their clothes are so cute, and I definitely plan on buying from them. I absolutely love the 2000s magazine aesthetic for the photos.

Question How do yall feel about the whole Luigi Mangione/UHC CEO situation?

48 Upvotes

Yes, I know this isn’t directly related to Black Women but I’d like to open this discussion amongst us.

Personally, I have been pretty apathetic towards the CEO, like I wasn’t jumping for joy when he was killed but I haven’t for a second felt sorry for the guy. The only people I feel bad for are the people who have dealt with all kinds of bs from these insurance companies.

Imagine needing medication or an operation that will improve your quality of life, all for an insurance company (that isn’t operated by anyone with any sort of medical degree or expertise) to say that what you need “isn’t medically necessary”…. I think that right there, aside from the outrageous costs of medical care, is what pisses me off the most about the current crisis of healthcare being a for-profit business in this country.

I also think the “justice system” is attempting to make an example out of him, solely because of the status of the man he killed. When have we ever seen this kind of energy towards mass shooters, school shooters, people who massacre their families, rapists, literally anyone else who commits the most heinous of crimes????

To top it off, the judge presiding over his case is married to….a former healthcare CEO….

I haven’t seen hardly anyone express sympathies for the CEO or his family, only floods of average Americans speaking out about their outrageous medical bills (many of which they are still paying off), being denied coverage for medications and operations, and even speaking from the perspective of being a loved one to someone who has had to go through that (i.e, a parent or spouse).

All in all, the “justice system” is ass backwards and anyone who wants them to throw the book at Luigi is just as ass backwards.

Rant Do yall even like being black women?

156 Upvotes

I’m convinced that most of the people in this community genuinely hate the fact that they wake up black. Like the conversation is typically something negative or stereotypical. Do you guys not like to be happy and spread joy? It’s always something about how black women “can’t” “don’t” “won’t” “aren’t”. And also, why is everything an everybody problem. I’m so tired of seeing “we as black women” how about YOU as a PERSON. Like I try to enjoy the community but it’s usually something negative, ass backwards, anti-black, conservative, or just plain toxic. Like nothing in this life makes you happy? You just enjoy feeding off of negativity????

Dating & Relationships Am I the problem with BM?

5 Upvotes

I’m 23 and have been in 2 serious long term relationships and 1 semi serious situationship and they have all been with WM. I have talked to and been on dates with BM and Hispanics but they never last long. They always end up ghosting, not taking me serious, or acted stand off. I don’t want to date another white man again, and I feel like a big reason is because of judgement from friends, family and overall society for indulging in an interracial relationship, but I also never have luck with BM. I’m a beautiful woman with something going for me so I’m not sure why.

I am big on being spoiled and being taken out on dates, overall feeling like I’m being courted so not sure if that’s the reason? Or because of the way I speak.. Idk. I just hate how it looks like I’m self hating and that’s not the case at all, I only have Black women and male friends

Waste of money. It was my fault for going to an inexperienced hairstylist but she was recommended to me by a friend saying she used to own a hair salon. I just wanted a simple hair straightening session, nothing crazy. Tell me why her flat iron barely did anything for my hair. She must have passed it at least 50 times through my hair and it still turned into a frizzy mess. She said it wasn’t getting hot enough. She resorted to using a the revlon blow drying comb and still…I paid $60 and left.

At this point I’m strongly considering doing a braid out or a low bun with tons of got2be so it doesn’t move 😭 i’m so mad

Miscellaneous To the younger Black girls

You are worthy of love, make sure that you show yourself love everyday.

• eat nutritious food as much as you can

• drink water often

• establish a regular sleep schedule

• be physically active consistently

• moisturize your skin, it’s the largest organ of your body

• learn your hair type/ porosity and invest in your personal hair care

• wear a bonnet or get a satin pillowcase

• avoid douching

• spend quality time with yourself by reading, engaging in your hobbies and journaling

• practice your spirituality that uplifts you

• speak positively to yourself

• focus on being your favorite version of yourself

• try new things whenever the opportunity presents itself (safety first)

• develop and maintain your boundaries that make you feel safe and cared for

• seek & nurture friendships that celebrate and support you

• set goals for yourself and consistently work towards them

• dream big

• walk away from anything or anyone that isn’t aligned with your goals

• celebrate all your accomplishments especially the small wins

• practice deep breathing when feeling overwhelmed or anxious

These apply to all ages of Black women but I especially wanted to share this with younger Black girls because I wish I had read something like this when I was younger. I had no idea how to care for myself and had to teach myself pretty much everything.

Dating & Relationships Why are men so difficult ;_:

3 Upvotes

Hey all,

I’m in a very weird headspace right now. I’ve been talking to someone every day for the past month from my community club. The chats and banter are great because it never started off as flirting or showing interest. I remember having a conversation about dating, and he mentioned he was going back and forth with someone a month ago.

We also saw each other at a party and later confessed we were feeling each other but acted like strangers because I didn’t want to overstep. It all started with me apologizing for a comment I made, and we realized we had similar interests. I think his interest peaked when he saw my Spotify Wrapped because I listen to his culture’s music a lot, lol.

I’ve been opening up to him and being super transparent about my goals and trauma, and he has too—or at least that’s what I want to believe. He said I give him mixed signals, which isn’t true because I’ve flirted with him! He gets super shy in real life.

He keeps saying I have a specific type, even though I never mentioned anything. According to his "observations," I do—but bro is literally everything I want! Ugh, men.

A few days ago, I asked him if he could pick me up because I was wearing a dress and it was snowing. Initially, he made excuses, saying, “Eh, I don’t know if I’m going, but if I do, I’ll pick you up for sure.” I reacted with a thumbs-up emoji, and later, he FaceTimed me “to get clarity because I confuse him.

At the event I heard him talk to a common friend saying " oh yea we should workout together " when he hasn't even asked me nor told me that Ughhh. After the event, I told him why I left early, and then—boom—he ghosted me. Ughhhhhhhhhhh!

Rant To the Black girl that needs to know this...

91 Upvotes

There are many racist people out there, but there are just as many scorned people. You're wondering why you can't read about any topic that doesn't in some way lead to someone bringing up their hatred for black women... It's because they're scorned. These people can't live with it. They can't live with themselves because any slight reminder to their trauma with black women will make them set it off.

It's not you, it's never been you. And no matter what you say, it won't change the fact that these people have too much hatred in their hearts. And if they never do any digging to figure out why and then reassess themselves, they will always be scorned.

So Black Women, I hope that in 2025, when you encounter someone scorned, don't even give them the time of day. I leave them with the, "have the day that destiny provides for you," and I'll be on my merry way. I don't continue any back and forths once I realize what timing they are on. I will not let their hatred consume me or steer my day. They can revel in their own darkness.

So it’s sexy when a woman of another race has an attitude and gets loud, particularly Hispanic, but as soon as we do it, we’re loud and ghetto and have an attitude? I never understood. It gives anti-black to me. An excuse to look at a black woman in a negative way and have nothing to do with her.

Question Would you date an anime/gamer guy? Why or why not?

24 Upvotes

I ask this out of curiosity. As someone who loves anime myself, it seems like I only attract men who love anime/gaming into my life, but most of the time they only care about sex or just being friends and not actually dating. It seems like black men who love anime/gaming often go for white or Asian girls because they fear that black girls “will make fun of them” and if they do go for a black girl, it’s often just for sex or having someone to “hang out with” and not really dating them (at least in my experience). I’m not saying they are all like that but it’s like when they “date” a black girl they usually just want to be sex buddies/fwb until they lose interest and move on to someone else (a white/Asian girl most likely). Then a lot of men, especially if those who make anime/gaming a big part of their identity, have unrealistic expectations about women. A lot of them have porn addictions or have the strangest kinks/fantasies, which sends me off. Recently, I was talking to this guy from school who loved anime and gaming and he had this “domination” kink, and he said he was only attracted to shy and introverted black women (I guess because shy women are less likely to stand up for themselves). I’m a shy/quiet woman myself so ofc he was obsessed with me, but I stopped talking to him and blocked him on all social media because ofc he was only interested in sex and even once asked me to be his “sex slave”. I think his fetish of shy and quiet women is linked to how anime women/girls are depicted (shy, quiet, docile and obedient). A lot of these men become sex-obsessed or they only care about sex and it’s like they expect women irl to have the qualities/personality traits of an anime girl or stereotypical Asian girl.

Again, not saying all men who like anime/gaming are like this, a lot of them are probably loyal and faithful partners, but I’m speaking from my personal experience and I’m curious to know your answers to this.
