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.

This is not a thread about ancestry.
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.

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.

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:

"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.
