It happened by accident. I was lying on the reclining chair, covered by a blanket, flicking through the channels on cable TV when I came across HBO’s new series ‘Girls’.

When black women are consistently portrayed in the media as being overweight (to an even greater extent than what they actually are), as Mammy, as Sapphire, as Jezebel, as the neck-snappin’-finger-poppin’ chick who loves to fight, please understand that these images are created with a purpose and with the consent of thousands of advertisers who are making money off of promoting ‘safe’ stereotypes of black women.
