I feel you Ottie.

I think southern dialect mixed with hood just makes for "Tiny".

T.I. sounds the same so I couldn't personally listen to her voice daily but...

Ottensen said:

It's not the accent tha bothers me: just the dumb shit spewing forth from her piehole. Now that will make a person unattractive to me more than anything.

I watched the long excerpts from the show on youtube; it made me sad. There are some family dynamic issues there that are very depressing there, the old dad with Alzheimer's, then watching the other girl go in search of her addicted mother in New Orleans... I suppose the things we will see here are still a very real issues in our community whether we like it or not. For however these girls speak, they appear to be very kind with good hearts. For whatever BET's intentions are with airing this show, at best or worst I hope these two women come out of it feeling more complete (which is what I gathered as the current phase they want to enter in their lives), jacked up English or not.

i remember thinking she was cute back when xscape was out . but then again, she didn't really say much back then . i'd just double bag it and ask her nicely to

ThreadBare said:

Why is it when someone don't find a darker skin female attractive, the first thing people say is Why because there dark?

I don't think it was her appearance people didn't like, it's all the storys that came out about her. From her leaving her husband to sleeping with usher before he was of age and all that jazz.

How do you explain people calling this woman straight up UGLY & "look like a man" & all that other stuff? & lets face it - people do still have a problem w/ skin color, even Black people themselves. It's all pretty sick, & it's silly to pretend it doesn't exist

CalhounSq said:

Look-a-like-a-man.

VoicesCarry said:

Same event...

Can we talk about T.I. not wanting Tiny to work? I'm very disturbed by this

CalhounSq said:

Ok But when did anyone say that dark women look like a man, I mean people say Pepa from Salt n Pepa look like a man and is ugly. People are just mean!

CalhounSq said:

And she still looks like a man in that shot.

tamewar said:

That's b/c Pep is actually BUILT like a dude




You can chalk it up how you want, but people are smart enough to know that it's not cool to admit something like that. I think there's some truth to what I'm saying, you don't have to believe it

Beauty is only skin deep.

In truth, if you act out and have this standoffish behavior, then to me, that's ugly. Not somebody's looks.

VoicesCarry said:

I think the dress doesn't flatter her, but she doesn't look like a man to me. & she difinitely doesn't look manly in every photo she's ever taken - come on









Maybe it's more of a size issue w/ y'all, just b/c she's not petite (especially next to him) which is equally as stupid

CalhounSq said:

It's the jawline and bone structure. Chick looks like she's harbouring a dick in them panties - and I'd say that looking at the face ONLY. I've seen enough trannies and drag queens in my life to know the signs.

Stupid org double post edit.

I know but i just always found it werid when someone says a Dark skin women is ugly, it leads to the whole Skin-tone chat. That's why i use pepa as an example both her and Maneka have strong man features but both are still beauiful. And people are still mean.

tamewar said:

You're talking about a link between dark skin & "mannish". I'm talking about the link people make between dark skin & "ugly". I think we're having 2 different discussions

CalhounSq said:

No I don't we are a few post above said something about people not liking her because she not a video girl type or her color. And it just strike a cord in me because I never heard or read someone dissing her cause of her skin tone. They just call her Man and ugly or so on

I don't mean to be deep, I just hate those catty colorism remarks. Not saying you or any other post were being catty.

They all look..... God that's just wrong.

tamewar said:

& I'm saying I think PART of the reason people refer to her as UGLY has to do w/ her color, whether mf's will admit that or not. Like I said, you don't have to believe that's the case. I guess I've just seen/heard it too many times to dismiss it

I don't think Tameka looks like a dude, but she does look her age and we all know she ain't no spring chicken so I don't know how skin tone came into this, because you can be dark, light, purple, pink with polka dots. If you're not attractive; you're not attractive and neither Tameka or Tiny are what I would consider attractive women. Pepa has had some work done on her face now, so she's looking completely different these days.

Beauty is only skin deep....but ugly is to tha bone.

CalhounSq said:

We'll ok Tameka feels the same way you do. But i ask you why not hate chilli, there both the same completion.
