It is nothing but the same old tired, bs "Boys/men are ALL that matter in the Black community/race" rhetoric and propaganda that has destroyed and CONTINUES to destroy millions of Black females young and old the world over. I am a huge Beyonce fan and I like "Put a ring on it" MUCH better. Now THAT is an empowering song for Black females! <BR/><BR/>I am tired of all the Beyonce hate. She is a Black female and we of all people should support her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410230886978718576.post-35391779953318993602008-12-12T10:04:00.000-08:002008-12-12T10:04:00.000-08:00I heard this song the other day and I couldn't bel...I heard this song the other day and I couldn't believe it. This is actually Beyonce. There is a line in the song about how she would be a better man if she were a boy. I'm sorry... anybody else I can buy this from but not her. If she were a boy, she would be exactly the same type of guy she disparages in her song. After all, it's exactly this type of guy she has always dressed to impress in her gold lame loinclothes and big ole Ann Margaret wigs. Now, she wants us all to believe that she has depth. Sorry, can't buy it from her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410230886978718576.post-44437742478718195772008-11-05T22:52:00.000-08:002008-11-05T22:52:00.000-08:00Khadija-i have begun the practice of cutting the v...Khadija-<BR/><BR/>i have begun the practice of cutting the vampires, youth suckers, and leeches. quick! i have also let them know when they inquire that there is a lack of reciprocity. the huh? with which i am met, cracks me up. reciprocity=freedom and abundant life. we owe it to ourselves to claim and seize it!<BR/><BR/>Stealthkitty-<BR/><BR/>my sentiments exactly. i think her choice for a life partner has to do with her awakening. i haven't heard any of her other new songs yet. time will show if this particular song was a fluke. too soon to know for sure. i give her props for that particular song and video though. if you listen and watch closely the words and images are truly worth the price of admission. <BR/><BR/>those that engage in such behavior are truly just...boys. women need MEN in order for there to be balance and workability.<BR/><BR/>thanks for visiting. <BR/><BR/>blessings to you both,<BR/>focusedpurposefocusedpurposehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537118983874391619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410230886978718576.post-8267453625986521552008-11-05T10:17:00.000-08:002008-11-05T10:17:00.000-08:00And this is a Beyonce song.

I'm also impressed with how focusing on reciprocity enables one to <EM>quickly</EM> zero in on what's wrong with any particular interaction. That's why I'm such a big fan of the concept & practice of it. <BR/><BR/>Peace, blessings and solidarity.Khadijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07732325133964607276noreply@blogger.com
