Tailor Made?
Mood: disgusted
I read this book and was completely disappointed...It pisses me off that books that are supposedly tailor made for "African American Women" are such pieces of trash. I'm sorry but the shit that is in rap videos is a small percentage of "African American Behavior." I'm not into the cars, clothes, platinum, diamonds, hood rat, thug bullshit. I read the entire book and it was funny in two areas but the rest was crap. I've decided not to put my photo on my novel cover. Because if women who like this book see a black face and think that mine will be similar they will surely be disappointed. I'm not going to say what the title of the book is because she's (the author) doing her thing and obviously she has an audience since this is her third "#1 best seller." My novel is like my life, some of every race is up in that shit...Okay wait that sounds like some of every race has been up in me. Ha-Ha! That came out wrong! I meant that I don't think about people's race, I hang around who ever is acting like they've got some sense. I feel so misunderstood. Since I'm not into the ghetto fabulous life style then people automatically think I'm afro-centric, which just isn't the case either. I'm just me and I really don't fit in anywhere, not that I really care but I'm sick of shit that's supposed to be tailor made for me coming out like stereotypical trash. Now don't get me wrong, I have read dozens of books written by black women that were amazing, but it's just these kinds of books that ignorant ass people of other races read and believe that is how ALL black people are, then they come up to me acting stupid...Most poor black people are working two jobs just so they can afford to live in run down crappy apartments, trying to give their kids a decent life, but you don't ever see those (who are the majority). All you see is the welfare mothers who don't even attempt to work or take care of their kids. You know the ones who ship little Marcus off to grandma's so she can go out to the clubs...Everyone I know whose been on welfare was putting in ten applications a week, but no one would hire them...But shh it's a secret. you're only supposed to know about the trifling black people.....Yeah okay, I feel better after venting.
