The masses have been told we are obese, have two and three babies by different men, infected with HIV,
Statistically, (according to the CDC), black women have higher rates of obesity, OOW births, and the highest rates of HIV than any other race of women. These are factual statements.

Are black women really becoming obsolete? It sometimes feel this way. In the past two years, black women have been put on full blast in the media. The masses have been told we are obese, have two and three babies by different men, infected with HIV, undesireable, angry and the least likely to be loved by anyone including our black men. Our features and mannerisms are celebrated on women of other races. It seems appears the other women like everything about us. But I can bet you they would not want to be us. Have you notice in advertisements, they show more interracial couples ( black man-white woman) than black couples (black man-black woman)? Black male characters in television shows are coupled with women of other races. Grey's Anatomy creator, Shonda Rhimes is notorious for this. She would not couple her main black male characters with a black woman to save her life. We get it Shondra, most of your audience is white! The producers of Castle, finally gave a sister some love. Dr Lanie Parish has been paired with Detective Javier Esposito. I know he is latino. However, he is a black latino. They are very cute together. From bloggers, it appears the majority of the show's fan base love the pairing. Black women are beautiful, loving, intelligent and more. We are everything, white women, asian and hispanic women are and more. For all of the black women that allegedly have attitudes, there just as many women of other races whom have the same amount. Go ask white men, asian men and hispanic men. If we are obsolete, it is because people want us to disappear.
I noticed some of these things to on tv with the bm ww couplings most commercials will not even show a black woman and when they rarely do she usually wears her hair in its natural state, at first I though that was it more women weren't wearing they're natural hair. I seriously think its about advertising now though it's more like a fad these days, white women probably are the largest consumers, then white men I think. Seems like thats who they're aiming for.

I realize the necessity to have positive and in some cases simply realistic portrayals of blacks in the media, but damn. Some of you are obsessed with the media. This isn't limited to black people at all, but it reminds me that we need to tell our children that the media does not represent reality. Again, not limited to blacks.
