My Big Momma (white), may God rest her soul, said the most disparaging things about black people in general and my Great Grandaddy (black), may God rest his soul, agreed. As a lighter skinned black female with straight hair, I do know that black males have gravitated to me in place of my darker skinned sisters. I too, have heard negative things out of the mouths of black men toward the females whose image is most like theirs. I'd also like to note that where I see white women with black men, they (white women) don't seem to have many black female friends. And I'd be remiss to exclude the phenomenon whereby black male/white female couples are somewhat unattractive, but amusingly enough, not the offspring they produce...yes, even in my Great Grandaddy and Big Momma's case.

They all had the same type of message. I just approved one, but I appreciate your passion in responding to the subject. You mentioned several times that women shouldn't allow men to open the door for them, they can do that for themselves. Of course we all can. But my husband was raised to be a gentleman, and that is how we raised our sons. I see it more as respect and affection. I have never opened my own door when I have been with my husband, for the last 10 years. It is his way of caring for me. And I do many things in return to show my care. We should not care what a man thinks. But one of the issues brought up in the article is that black and white woman have not been seeing themselves on the same team. And I think some blame that dynamic on the other group of women. This was to point out the flaws in that thinking. I do not feel oppressed and that this is a man's world. I know where power lies, and the one with the loudest voice isn't always the person in control. My husabnd is the head of household. But trust me. He and I both are clear on where control lies. Equally between us. And my soft power, gets me whatever I want. I hope you continue to join in on our conversations! Welcome to the IFO! Laura I read all of the comments you made on this one post.

Of White, Black women? Who gives a damn? It's a man's world and women are oppressed and have to fight and assert themselves all the time. Of course men will always talk down about women to bring them even more down and CONTROL them. Their power in the world is slipping away. Rather thank thinking of what they think and say of women be concerned with having fun and don't give a damn, and stay fit and strong, and athletic (like our body desin requires) don't be weak.

When I saw those beautiful kids it reminded me that I didn't mention that I also have a gorgeous biracial daughter (whose mother is also biracial). I read somewhere that girls get their self-esteem from their fathers, do you find this to be true? Liquiscence, I did not in any way mean to diminish Lorrie's goals. I hope we can all learn from each other, as the bible says, "iron sharpens the face of iron". I don't plan writing a blog, but I hope to have a book published soon (Title: The 24: Hour Man!). If you or any of Lorrie's readers would like to read a few chapters send me an email: faxxess@gmail.com Thanks Lorrie Hi again Lorrie (and Liquiscence, great name by the way), I visited your Facebook page, but I couldn’t find you, are you (and your family) on it?

However, I ended up enjoying the posts from the individual "Kerry" even better. I think he proved his point and educated the readers as well. Kerry, you did a wonderful job teaching Lorrie the truth with such a detailed counter that made her original post (and her reply to yours) seem somewhat diminished in scope and value. I think you ought to have your own column and post some more informative insights. Readers would definitely appreciate it.
