More Than Meets The Eye

Nojma Reflects

Sisters, if your greatest claim to fame is that you are "thick" with a big "booty" then you are seeing yourself in the WRONG light. Please step out of the darkness. Sure a nice physique might catch his "eye" but what will catch his "mind?". We need to research the science and definition of words.
Booty is defined as: spoil taken from an enemy in war.
Spoil is defined as: booty, loot, or plunder taken in war or robbery. Now who was taken away by an enemy in war? WE were Black Woman. WE became the "booty" of our slave masters, and here we are flaunting our "booty" for all to see.
Why not promote your mind instead of your body? If all you have to offer a man is your womb, what you are REALLY saying is that, you lack the mental capability and capacity to stimulate his mind. I don't know what you heard, but a man wants a woman that can do more than just lie on her back. You need to be able to operate and function OUTSIDE the bedroom. If you find yourself constantly being referred to or treated as just a "piece of azz" it's because that's all YOU are offering

 

My View: I'm paying the whole note with interest on this one. The reason why women flaunt themselves as a piece of meat, is because men respond to that. Some men don't know how to look deeper than a woman's curves. Women sense this and market accordingly. Looks do catch his eye, but it's going to take a lot more than thickness with a big booty to keep him; if he's discerned enough to look for more in a potential wife. A sexy woman is one who's beautiful in mind, body and spirit. I like her definition of booty: spoil taken from an enemy in war. Do men want spoil? I hope not. A MAN wants a diamond, someone who shines bright in all areas of life. A woman is a reflection of her man. If a man is trashy, a woman will respond in kind. If he's upstanding, an upstanding woman will respond in like fashion.



Generalizations

Generalizations are valid if you have a majority of people who display contrary conduct. For example, when you were in school and the whole class acted up, the ENTIRE class was punished. It wasn't fair because why should the whole class get punished for one person's misdeeds? It's not fair, but sometimes everyone must suffer for the mistakes of one or a few; this serves as a deterrent to those who are thinking about engaging in wrong conduct. Honestly, I'm tired of hearing some people say "Not all blacks are bad, this, that and the other" That's true, but as the old adage goes: One person can mess it up for everyone. What that statement means is that people judge the whole on the actions of a few: If I'm a business owner and my business was constantly victimized by black ghetto criminals, then I'm going to assume all blacks are criminals and take precautionary measures to protect my investment. Anybody who's had constant negative experiences from a certain group of people, are going to label the entire group based on their bad experiences with a few. Of course, I don't think all blacks are bad, because there are some black people that abide by the law and live right. At the same time, I'm not naive enough to believe some blacks can mess it up for everybody. Every group has good & bad, but when the bad outweighs the good, the decent, upstanding people get lumped in with the ratchets. In today's world, negativity is far more prevalent than positivity. Beauty cannot co-exist with ugly. When you eradicate the ugliness, then you can have beauty.
