My Semi-Formal Announcement…The “SheThrives” Network is Set to Launch in Two Weeks!!

I’ve been itching to share this news with all of you for months, but I’ve had to bite my tongue until we got close enough, because I was afraid evil dwarves from the Netherworld might sprinkle bad luck juice on the whole thing. Call me paranoid, but evil dwarves are REAL.

Why We Don’t Talk About Black Men: A Response Post Of Sorts…

65 All The People Crying About Letters And Conspiracy Theories: Go Get Your Life!

All The People Crying About Letters And Conspiracy Theories: Go Get Your Life!

Being aware of the tricks and attempts at manipulation sent your way is certainly a must, but this doesn’t require you get angry or fearful. Simply side-step these persons and keep walking. How emotionally invested you become in the efforts of black trolls is often an indicator of how far removed you actually are from these constructs. If they have the ability to tap into a high level of your emotion, you are NOT free. It’s as simple as that.

I think my blog, The New Elegant Black Woman, is all about hypergamy and becoming a high quality woman, because it feels great to be one and because it makes you attractive to high quality men. I think that a lot of Beyond Black & White and BWE articles are about hypergamy too. So what it hypergamy?

147 Yet Another Liberal Horse-Poo Article Confirming the Necessity for BWE…

Yet Another Liberal Horse-Poo Article Confirming the Necessity for BWE…

Well the GAT-DL are at it again with their embracing of black boys as the precious and then throwing the responsibility to mammy and mule to young black girls and women. In a recent Huffington Post liberal pile of horse poop, an author named Ise Lyfe makes the argument that yes, school aged black boys are often ratchet, obsessed with expensive sneakers and speaking inappropriately about sex and seem to have absolutely no interest in their education, but…and get this, it’s NOT their fault. Worse, publicly disciplining them in front of black girls (even when they’re bad asses deserve it) diminishes them as men and future mates. It makes THE PRECIOUS look bad, and as such, puts the mythical black family at peril.

204 Since We’re Discussing It…The Pot Calling the Kettle ONYX…

Since We’re Discussing It…The Pot Calling the Kettle ONYX…

I normally wouldn’t do this, but I think this post is a perfect piggy back to Brenda55′s post about what this blog ever discusses black men. Interesting that a sorry, loser, bottom-feeding internet troll and stalker of mine has recently started nicknaming me “nappy head.” I find this hilarious, because not only is this man utterly disgusting to look at, he is also black. With nappy hair. And these fools wonder why so many black women are throwing up deuces.
