I think he didn't like the Cosby's because they were seen as "uppity" black people. I am a black female and I loved the Cosby's. I have noticed that in the "hood" being called Theo Huxtable is a dis. I don't know any black people that didn't watch that show but their a lot of black people that said they couldn't relate.

[brownshuga24]

I'm waaaay late on this post, but yeah the Queen did wear head wraps, kente patterned cloth and the whole nine. Oh and off the subject, you are so cute! :o)

[deatha44]

well said!

[shedara2008]

i really just wanted to post that queen latifah did wear headwraps in the 90s. i guess she doesnt remember.

[LilacStar82]

@shedara2008 I really just wanted to post to YOU that queen latifah did NOT wear headwraps in the 90's it was nefertiti HATS... OK?

[Msconcious]

can't understand a word you're saying...sorry

[crgebee]

you are a smart and funny man. I think that in this day we do have to educate instead of just knocking the shit out of them because that is clearly not working. If you think about how Barack Obama has now become president running or pure qualifications. It is a new day and we have to go old school on them and make them feel stupid with pure knowledge.

[Ahdree23]

i thought that was mrs. buttersworth in that commercial. i could be wrong.

[peepla7]

well said. sometimes I squash comments with "for reasons of faith" and then I leave them hanging on what faith becuz where i work, if they try to press an issue they can get in trouble. the bible does say 'let her be covred' but make them look it up.

[hendev33]

Great response. I remember the "Queen" back in the day rockin her wraps. I miss that...

[BlackOnyx77]

4. "LOL"... @ make them feel ignorant that is definetly my path that Im gonna take

5. Thanks again for taking the time to respond and give me advice..Be Blessed !

[BlackOnyx77]

1. Thanks for saying I should nip it in the bud b/c yea this definetly not something to be swept under the rug

2. Yea I was born around the time when Queen Latifah wore wrap s b/c I didnt know b4 this that she ever wore a wrap or was natural, i guess b/c all I see of her now is straight blonde pressed hair so I truly didnt know

3.I also understand what u mean about the some that only like "few blacks" and yea I dont play that either ...

[papercup25]

me niether you either like them or you don't and i wouldn't dare let a white person come over me like that. cause i certainly believe that they really don't have a culture to fall back on that's why they try to pick . and they are jeolous of us cause sister we are the queens. I am american but i hate that i was born in america, i wish i was born in Jamaca, or some other african coountry. but o well. You are an inspiration don't let them shade monkeys get to you much love sister.

[shedara2008]

jamaica is not an african country.

[ItsSandyCheeks]

im sure she didnt mean jamaica is an african country in the term you are taking it as...she meant african country as a place inhabited by former slaves which were africans...same goes for haiti, grenada, trinadad, come one people we need to stop picking at everyone's words, as if we are so much smarter.

[DawnOnMeNow]

I agree cut it shawt, handle it , and keep it movin'.

[imanisankofa]

You're right...she needs to nip that in the bud and make sure it gets documented.
