A Musical Message From Stevie!!

Words & Music...As we claim what is ours not what you say is to be...We continue to play music that our people need. This season is un restful. Many people going thru many changes and transitions. Folks losing their lives in the storm.
I've taken to riding thru the "hood" on a regular these days and I wonder who in the world decided that it was ok to have rats walking thru your neighborhood in board daylight, and standing up to the cat that got in its face. I saw it with my own two eyes.
Everything must change and as it changes our strength defines us. Don't dwell on the things you can't change but focus on the things you can...

It’s a “fact” that Black women are ugly?

My brother sent me a link a few weeks ago posted in Psychology Today.  It was a bunch of mambo-ja-hambo about black women not being as attractive as other races, mainly white women.  It was a bunch of junk, each word sounding like "Tomfoolery" if there is such a word.  It just shows how ignorant and desperate people are to constantly demean a race that they envy.  And we all know what results from envy.  We all know what breeds envy, and we all know that there is still a lingering desire to what............BE LIKE US!  You decide.  Color of Change sent me an email detailing this nonsence as well.  I thought it was a joke by just one IDIOT.  Apparently, it is not.

Dear Monique,

Nearly 20 years after a black parent documented how hard it was to hear, "Mommy, I want to be white,"1 Psychology Today reinforced the false and hurtful sentiment that Black women aren't attractive.

Last week they published an article claiming it to be scientific fact that Black women are less beautiful than women of other races,2 penned by Satoshi Kanazawa, who is notorious for hiding behind pseudoscience to promote discredited racist and sexist ideas.3

By giving Kanazawa a platform and validating his ideas, Psychology Today dehumanized Black women and girls everywhere. After widespread public outcry, they removed the article from their website.4 But that alone won't erase the damage they've done by validating these discredited ideas — the editors need to apologize, explain how this happened, and let us know that it won't happen again. Please join us in demanding they do so immediately, and then ask your friends and family to do the same:

Kanazawa's article is flawed from top to bottom.5 Using a dataset from an unrelated study of teenagers, he draws the obviously false conclusion that Black women are "objectively" less attractive than women from other racial groups.

Kanazawa has a long history of hiding behind pseudo-science to express racist and sexist views. He once wrote an article asking "Are All Women Essentially Prostitutes?" and another suggesting that the US should have dropped nuclear bombs across the entire Middle East after 9/11 because it would have wiped out Muslim terrorists.6

So why does Psychology Today continue to give him a platform?  Black women constantly face both subtle and explicit messages that they are valued less than women of other races —  messages that are especially damaging to Black girls. Now Psychology Today has served as launching point for yet another attack, this time in the name of science.

Almost as if to cover up the racism inherent in his piece, Kanazawa says that black men are, "if anything more attractive" than their counterparts of other races because of "greater testosterone."7 But even here Kanazawa relies on the same pseudoscience to describe black men in familiar terms — brutish, hypermasculine, oversexed, exotic. And that's dangerous, too.

He uses a modern-day version of the faulty logic used to dehumanize blacks as inferior for hundreds of years, from the social Darwinists and eugenicists of the 19th century to The Bell Curve just 15 years ago. Psychology Today has a responsibility not to give such false logic a stage, nor validation.
To undo the damage it's done, Psychology Today needs to explicitly reject Kanazawa's ideas. Please join us in demanding that their editors apologize, explain how this article was published in the first place and what they'll do to ensure it won't happen again in the future. It takes just a moment:
