Um...Salon? Can you please use the money you would have paid Debra Dickerson for this "article" and sent it to a nice therapist for her instead? Because Debra might want to settle her personal "race issues" (and go back to journalism school) before she offers up another infuriating facile screed on "Black culture."
I mean has she EVER written an article about Black life that didn't come across as self-hating? From her multiple "Obama ain't Black, y'all" rants, to her hand-wringing about explaining her own skin color and culture to her children, to this laughable cring-worthy attempt to link a Black female aesthetic to obesity on the sheer basis of a slim big-bootyed pin-up, Dickerson's articles always seem to be about someone not fitting into or living up to her own twisted perceptions of African-American culture (hint, hint, hint, like way to project there, Debra!)
Salon, I was willing to give DD the benefit of the doubt, but I'm tired of reading what in essence conseling session. Let's put Debra on the couch and save the Black culture analysis for African-Americans who can actually make sense, please.
