Is it me, or does it seem like there is a shortage of Black female role models. I'm not saying that there is a shortage, because I don't believe that that to be the case... But what I'm saying is that it sure seems like it.

Why does "the media" (whoever that is) insist on showing these unrealistic portrayals of Black women?
Why do the Black women that expose themselves to these media outlets allow themselves to be exploited in such a way?
I guess the answer is simple... IT SELLS!
Next question... Why does it sell?
Well, I have my opinions, but for now, I'd like you to know what you think... Leave it!
*I have more to come on this topic, because there is so much more to explore... This is one of my daily battles.
**Also, by using the image above I'm not implying that the women pictured are not role models in their own right, I'm just using those pictures as an example of the type of imagery that is used by various media outlets (although I would argue that some of them are not and/or should not be considered role models by a long shot, but that's for a separate post).
