This conversation is really irrelevant because you do not know anything about racism in this country and don't seem willing to learn. Post after post proves that. If you think there is no difference between black people and white people, I can't help you with that either.

Magazines like Ebony and Jet shine light upon issues that the mainstream magazines do not. When someone of note in the black community passes away, Ebony and Jet place focus on that person's life where a magazine like People will not mention that person at all or revert this person's life to a two line blurb. They are institutions that are still needed as long as the media continues to separate us by the color of our skin. These magazines were our only ear to the street and are worthy of respect and deserving to carry on with that tradition as long as racial division exists in this country. You may call it segregation but I call it a way to see people who look like me displayed prominently.


You go, my nubian queen! lol


It was Jet Magazine that published the mutilated images of Emmet Till, who was murdered in Mississippi because of the color of his skin. This so upset the black (and sympathetic white) communities that it provided a substantial jolt to the freedom movement which lead to desegregation, and the ability for minorities to even have this kind of ludicrous discussion to begin with.

Time magazine, what did they report? Was it as blatant? Was it free of anglo-centric bias? Maybe, maybe not. But Jet Magazine will forever be known as the magazine that exposed the brutality of the deep south. Not bad, for a 'focus' magazine.

talking to a rock that said it was more than happy to sit back and be TOLD why ebony/jet magazine is so important, ONE person mentioned about the 60's but didnt explain why we need it now
you and a few other idiots insult me because you simply CANT explain why we need it

admit it


I'll have told you why we need it now. You just don't fuckin get it. I'm
not going to keep repeating myself over and over. People magazine isn't
going to tell me where the next Black Expo is going to be held or where
the next Essence Music Festival is going to be held. These events hold seminars
and forums for aspiring black businessmen and information on health and other
issues that you aren't going to get from Rolling Stone or a country music
festival. I'm moving on from your ignorance. I certainly have better things
to do with my time. You can be ignorant by your damn self. wink

Pick up the Penguin history of World War II (it's widly available at Borders in the UK). The chapters concerning Nazi propaganda are stunning. You see, Germany didn't just wake up one day and decide to enforce a have-you-kicked-a-jew-today lifestyle. It started with national publications and other media campaigns to dehumanize the jews. WWII Germany wasn't a race of evil, hellbent, nazis. They were regular people. The book shows the systematic campaign that started with negative publicity and ended up with mass populations relegated to the ghettos. If you don't believe this can happen again, you're very very wrong.

Nobody has to believe what they read. Nobody has to feel affected by how they are portrayed? Sure, but I've been to the UK many times, and I've seen and heard what the general "logical" population says about the Polish and Muslim immigrants after a few drinks and slip of the tongue lol. If they were ballsy enough to publish that kind of rhetoric, contrary to what you may believe there would be tons of people who believe it, reinforce it, and eventually would begin to 'live it'.

Minority magazines are a good thing. And when whites become the minority in the USA, they'll agree too.

the only reason it could happen again is if it were legal to spew racial hatred
in magazines, and usually when that happens the person gets fired, not something that would have happened in the 30's and 40's
''pick up a penguin'' lol chocolate bar smile


Again, you're really not paying any attention. Are you just trolling? lol

Magazines don't have to say "nigger" to print an article that is detrimental to black people. They simply have to spin. And spin works, it gets political involvement, and creates change--not always for the better.

If you think your rights are protected and will always be there, you're wrong. Your rights walk on a razor thin line, and constantly have to be upheld. It only takes a few focus groups and money to threaten to ban abortion and turn women who seek them into 'evil, greedy, criminals'. Women's reproductive rights in America hang on one hope--Barack Obama is a liberal.

I do recommend that you study up on spin and on minority struggles though. Your idealistic streak will last another 10 years, in which case you'll take two paths--you'll become a social conservative and say insane things, or you'll understand what Ivy and the rest of the ladies here have been trying to tell you isn't just crazy talk.

You're not spewing racial hatred. You just think you're smarter than you really are. And you're a bit ignorant of how the world actually runs.

All these things are easily corrected.

God, you can't read.

YOU made the point about spewing hate being illegal or some crap. I was assuming you were speaking about the UK because it is legal over here. It's called free speech.

Michael Richards may or may not be ruined but he had every right to say what he said. He had to deal with the consequences of his own actions.

i use loriel make up and i use sheen spray from a hair dressers place
didnt need a magazine
plus i wasnt talking about cosmetics, there are black magazines for that sort of stuff, i was talking about the 99% of bullshit they have in ebony magazines about shit that isnt even relevant to being black but expected to be through self racial steryotyping
