You Want Me To Do This For 9 Months?

 

I remember when I was in high school, all of my friends and I had our lives planned out. Married by 26 and babies by 28. Well I’m 26 and no where near marriage and even further from children. I’m all for marriage but babies…I’m starting to look at it a bit differently.

1. I have no desire to mutilate my body and I don’t know if I ever will.

2. This looks painful. Like FORREAL. That baby is probably trying to turn her ribs into monkey bars.

“I KNOW You Didn’t Call Me a HOE!!”

Hoes. Yes HOES. The word that won’t die even if you poisoned it and shot it repeatedly in the face. Lets look at the word hoe/whore:

A whore/hoe is a word that is specifically meant for a prostitute where prostitution is the act or practice of providing sexual services to another person in return for payment.  What they MEAN to call women are SLUTS where a “Slut is a term meaning an individual who is sexually promiscuous. The term is generally applied to women and used as an insult or offensive term of disparagement, meaning "dirty”.

The term SLUT, in the sense of a sexually promiscuous woman, dates to at least 1450. Since 1450, the New World was discovered, Africans were enslaved, a couple wars, a lot of people died, black people got free…kinda, the Great Depression,  Jim Crow enslaved blacks again, a lot of people died, black got free…kinda, women burned bras,…I was going to keep going but there’s a lot of important shit between the birth of slut and today. So why are sluts still hanging around like roaches?

What Is The World?!?! (Inside Joke)

I usually like to keep my focus on natural hair but today I want to touch on something else, natural bodies. When I was younger breast implants got really popular but not in my community, (as far as I knew). I honestly thought it was something that celebrities got as an investment or rich white women got for their husbands. Either way we weren’t doing it. Then sometime after J Lo and Beyonce made booties popular, cheek implants became available as well. I still thought it was a fad for the celebs and the wealthy. BOY WAS I WRONG!! For some reason there has been a growing trend in everyday life for regular working women to not only get their breast done but they’re also getting the butts done too?! What is the world coming to?! Why would you want your bum to look like this:



It doesn't even look like it belongs on them!! It looks like someone copied and pasted something on their backs.



Do ladies go into stores and pick purchase panties with butt cheeks in them?? Gimmie a break.

What are your thoughts? Does anything have to be real anymore?
