Funny Friday: Congratulations…or Hateration??

The only way to know if you're getting things done is if you've ruffled some feathers. If you have no enemies, that means you've not made a splash.

I checked out the infographic on her site ("where are all the good black men?). It's a cute infographic but very misleading; maybe she's read 'how to lie with statistics".

I like to support black women too when I get the chance, provided they are doing something that I believe is built on positivity. With that thought in mind, I went on over to check out her site. Some of the initial info is pretty good and, despite one huge banner ad promoting 'where are all the good black men", I thought it was ok; then I got to the part where she promotes Ashley Madison:

<i><b>AshleyMadison.com is the leading online black affair dating site. Designed for people in relationships or married that want to have a discrete affair,</b> this site allows you to search by race / ethnicity. AshleyMadison is very secure and confidential and with our current deal it's free to join. Because its anonymous nobody will know you're a member except for you and those you decide to go out with.</i>

That's when she lost me. Friday funny indeed.

Maybe she wasn't aware.........................I am going to eat some more leftovers..........................................

She is definitely misguided and have no idea as far as what your website is about.

I pm you about something I found. Hope it wasn't an odd topic to look into. I thought it was relevant but maybe showcasing the positive of what's being done here is enough. I just think that when you see the attacks from people saying how desperate people are here, they should see the other side...the bc warriors tactics are definitely not an easy sale for most of us but there is some boundaries the most free of spirits wouldn't touch. If you didn't see the message, I can send it to the email. I have been finding messages in my box weeks later that I didn't get notice about.

I was considering whether or not to write about it, but now I definitely have to, because it seems like this is happening all over the place. O_o

Especially if these misguided BW think that using BWE to meet the BM here is going to end well.

I am ROLLING right now, because I was actually tempted to write you about this phenomenon, but was like "Meh, it's not on topic rn".

I was actually having this discussion w/ Velour, who'd had similar experiences. Basically, you have BW writing you to either help them plug "black love sites" or begging you to include topics about black men.

I don't necessarily think she was being insulting. I suspect she is, like other black women who write and beg for BWE bloggers to talk about/reach out to to BM, hoping that these spaces could help draw the attention of black men to them.

As I said in my latest blog, I feel you are more likely to find BM here than occupying "black love" spaces. And these women want to meet black men BADLY, so, they are doing the best thing they can: Coming into these spaces to meet the BM that they know are here.

So they're basically trying to use you and blogs like this to get their attention.

The whole thing is bizarre, and yet makes sense in a sad and twisted way. O_o

People are soooo dumb, and don't pay attention and if it's not that F^*$ then, they just f*^%in' witcha!

Girl, brush that off your shoulder. You know that these fools are not worth the time it took you to post this!

LMAO, it's the underhanded insult the one that kind of looks like a compliment but it's really it's an insult. Because really the 'ppl hate don't like you but I do' is totally unnecessary. Ask them if they want a cookie, that's what I do b/c well hell I'm sarcastic
