Shame on you, Smooth. That's the kind of talk I'd expect from someone with less integrity.

Yes, its a bit harsh. But you don't understand what the media and Hollywood's trying to do here. I'm sorry, but I'm being real here. There's a subliminal message in all of this.

I know beauty in the eye of the beholder, but NO heterosexual male with a sane, sound mind and good eyes would ever get with that. I'm sorry.

Sorry, I missed what the propaganda is exactly. Please explain?

Hollywood is obsessed with the "mammy" image. They're trying to push a 21st century Aunt Jemima, a Hattie McDaniel for the new millennium (you can google it). Plus there's the ever increasing problem with BW self-esteem (why they can't get married, etc.) and the black egghead psychologists and authors. To them Gabby's their poster child. Hollywood wants to push her as a sex symbol because they want to prove they're not superficial and BW want to see that it's not all about the pretty light-skinned girls getting big roles and validation.
 
What really irks me is that a lot of men that are male Gabby's pass this judgement. If you as a male, looks like Gaby in body - shut the fuck up!

Hmmm, seems like it's all just a step in the direction towards promoting more positive self-esteem as a whole. I agree that it's not the best idea to have some tokenistic 'poster child', that ideally we'd be seeing more beautiful women of all different sizes portrayed positively in the media universally.. but I still don't see it as a bad thing. And where does it negatively affect black men?

It's kinda like seeing IR in the media... Lots of people on this forum get excited when they see a positive example of it in mainstream media, but it's still a long way to go until it's widely acceptable and positively promoted. But small steps in the right direction are how these things happen.
 
I'm far less than perfect. I'm no Tyrese, Ronnie Coleman...or even Petty. These are things I can work on. However, when I see BS and very cleverly disguised bigotry, I can't hold my tongue. It wasn't until 40 years ago when Mammy was still the representation of Black Womanhood.

When it comes to BW, BM aren't to have or like anyone who's considered "attractive".

Well, okay.

I'd say the Gabby Sidibe thing is more about women than it is about men, but I'll concede once again that I can't comment on American race issues.

Still sounds a bit to me like peeps letting other people's issues affect them too much... Be happy with you and these things won't seem like such a big deal.

I don't think it is bigotry. It is hard to tell someone that they are large. You don't want to hurt their feelings. That is what a lot of people do around her. Men are a bit more likely to be direct about her like Howard Stern was when he commented about her but not to her face.

If this was a BS free world, you would be right on the mark. ;)
