Wow.
And damn the magazine was 50 cents lol. Damn 4-5 dollars these days for a magazine
Crying
This is only one of the reasons why I am a huge believer in ancestry. We've been BRAINWASHED for so long to connect to everything other than our roots. Just shocked that it came from one of our own magazines. At such a crucial time in our history as people, at that. This is insane.

When I say ancestry, I mean the term itself. Not ancestry.com, love.
It's a word.

So I don't see the correlation. I simply mentioned it, and you seem to be on some sort of a tangent.

You made a reference to the "influx of ancestry threads".
There's no correlation with that reference since this is not a topic about ancestry.
That's all.

I'm crying
I just said influx, luv. :dead: That'll range from posts to threads
because whether you make a thread about it or not, your posts usually come back to the subject.
& it's just confusing is all.
ok....
back to the EBONY cover.
I was surprised when I saw this on this timeline, the only thing I could think is "was the mag white-owned"? Kinda like BET is a child of Viacom? But I saw someone commenting that it was black owned. If I research that and find it to be true I will be very confused and disappointed.
That's a weird cover. Only of three of them even look black.

do you have something to say to Af sis? :dead:
not tryna be nosy or in your business but... just wondering
:helloimangie:
just tryna figure out what sis storyline for this season is
lol. Talisa if you're looking for mess or an argument let me know so I can just place you on block in advance. I really don't have the desire.
Well in the context of the time it was published its not really surprising. I want to see the actual article.
Why is the unbelievable if you're aware of internalized racism and the factors that cultivated them?
v;
i think sis just wanted to post something edgy

at first when I saw ur post i was like is he serious
but u actually make a LOT of sense. and bring up an interesting perspective. this was the era of tar black depictions of blacks eating watermelons with chiclet shaped teeth, etc. maybe this was their way, albeit tasteless, of fighting stereotypes?
Today, a cover like this wouldn't even cross the mind of a publisher, if they wanted their magazine to last. Not even the edgiest of magazines would dare try it. :plzstop:
when I look at it that way, it makes sense. I just think it just shocked me , initially.
I feel like I saw this before on B Source
in a race related thread I think I saw the actual article
it was all pictures of light-skinned/mixed women
its was either this, or a TIME article that was similar
anyway this is a mess

I see what Jon is saying, definitely. It's logical.
But it's just still unbelievable something like this was published by us.
I think that's my mindset of a black person in 2015
I'm sure the mindset was different then. Clearly, they knew this would sell copies.
Otherwise they wouldn't have put it out.
In 2015, some idiot releases mess like this, white OR black publication...
and it's a wrap. :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:
disgusting

That's awful.
I see things have't changed either, just modern technology and a $4 increase.

I think he's shocked because EBONY magazine reported it, a publication to empower black people/black women. And at the time the black icons had Afros and dark/brown skin. Just a thought lol.
And we're not even really to blame for this atrocity.
Just as we're not to blame when Dencia Whitenicious and perms fly off the shelves.
it's just fucking sad, the EFFECT it had on us. I am lowkey fucking fuming

You guys make good points...the message is pretty much still there, just presented more subliminally. Like many other gifts from Mother Lynch.

"According to a survey, the African American women are considered to have improved in their charm and beauty."
Not "charm". The girls were that much of a nuisance back then while they were being hosed down and or lynched? :everythingok:

!!!!!
I was watching a documentary on colorism and hair textureism in our community, and of course the great Madam CJ Walker was mentioned. Of course I tipped my hat for her slaying the scene and becoming the first black female millionaire, but a part of me couldn't help but to give her a slight a :udontlookok: as well. Like, you self hating bitch, you started this mess.
I know it's not right to think that way and of course her state of mind wasn't even her own fault. But I'm being honest. She profited off of it by inventing something which is damaging to our hair. I think that's what rubs me the wrong way.
