i am really laughing at your go play tip the cow comment because i am actually a UT at Austin college student and we love playing tip the cow…our mascot is a longhorn…lol! and how could i have seen the movie first when the movie has not even come out yet? it is just a really popular, good book and i am really happy that they are making a movie out of it…just helps for black women to see themselves as something other than a slut or a victim and hopefully the movie does the book justice

but yeah i see some of your points on how some black men really want black women to imitate white beauty standards and that does make me mad as well….i always say dont go against the grain, find someone who will love u for u and fuck the rest of those brainwashed niggas, lol

FUCK YUNG BERG

Your probably one of the types that watches a movie and then decides to go read the book…..ass backwards. The comment I made has nothing to do with the era. And while your talking about the complexities of being a “black woman”, one of the complexities of being a black woman is that black men put women who are the total opposite of what she looked like in the movie (ex: her in her normal state) on a pedastal because of how she looks, whereas they would not give her the time of day if she looked the way she did in the movie in real life. Even if she were in her normal state, but a shade darker someone else would be chosen over her and get the ooohs and aaaahs. My point is anything that looks ethnic usually doesn’t get chosen. Young Berg only confirmed how many black men think when choosing his women. So go play tip the cow.
