Ladies...quick question: Do you sleep with a bra on?...I've been asked this question by more than one person, and was given the WTF look with my "most of the time" reply. I mean, what's wrong with sleeping in a bra? Am I outta the loop and living in the 60's or what? I thought they did the whole no panty no bra thing back then. Without a bra, my chest starts hurting, and my twins are not that big

[ok, i'm back]...support (hence the sagging tiddie reference) for black women's issues lies within black women, for the most part. Unfortunately, we've been divided, and thus, a hatred now exists between the light sista and dark sista. Critiquing issues with Cocoacentric thought proves to be beneficial; however, because of the hate that exists amongst us, it is difficult in getting the flipside

"Cocoacentricity"...a scholar by the name of Molefi Asante came up with this concept of "Afrocentricity", which is basically looking at things from the point of view of blacks--not necessarily with a superiority complex either. So, I kinda borrowed this idea, and introduced "Cocoacentricity", which is the critique of black issues from the point of view of a dark-skinned sista since we always get

...there are several issues that must be addressed within Black Community> It is my belief that the initiation of a process of liberation (holistically for blacks), therefore, must begin with male/female relationships and the start of the black woman recognizing her strength and power; ultimately eradicating the underlying racism, sexism, marxism, and all other "-isms" that is bestowed upon her.

There's a variety of reasons why I'm still single...I think the biggest one is me being in school. I'm trying to graduate, and pretty soon, so I just don't have enough time (physically, emotionally, etc) to devote to a healthy relationship. That just wouldn't be fair to the other person. Anywho, here's my list of "Eligible Bachelors"....names have been changed to protect the guilty.Bachelor #1:
