Age ain't nothing, but a number!

Age ain’t nothing, but a number; so is the 6x8 jail cell you will be in if you mess with a minor. Where am I going with this; well guys have been going with much younger females in the history of entertainment. We can look at some couples today and see the age difference such as BeyoncĂ© and Jay-Z, which is a twelve-year age difference. Megan Fox and Brian Austin is a thirteen-year age difference. Now I shouldn’t care how many years they are apart (which I actually don’t) but what I do care about is when one of the people involved in the relationship is a minor. R. Kelly was twenty-seven when he started dating Aaliyah who was only fifteen years old. Fifteen years old like how can you find a 10th grader attractive when you are pushing the age of thirty. R. Kelly even wrote and produced a song that was sung by Aaliyah called “Age ain’t nothing, but a number”. They even got married when she was still underage. Now we have Tyga and Kylie Jenner who is dating while he is twenty-five and she is seventeen. Just image that when he was eight years old she was just a newborn. It’s a little startling that our society is comfortable with a much older man dating a minor but guys who are nineteen can go to jail for dating a sixteen year old. I do believe that is more acceptable but society doesn’t. Kylie or Aaliyah was not old enough to buy cigarettes but their “boyfriends” were old enough to buy alcohol. Don’t get me wrong there are some cougars out there that have married young men. If you don’t know what cougars are, they are older women who date young guys in some cases that could be their son. We could look at Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher with a fifteen-year difference. Technically she could have just had him at an early age because fifteen years is still a huge difference. It’s from being in first grade to being a junior in college. We don’t look at these situations as being wrong or weird when they are both legal. This Tyga and Kylie Jenner case is just plain sickening. I wonder if he goes to teen clubs with her because she isn’t allowed in 18 and older ones. The face of Tyga at the picture below looks like he knows he is going to jail.

If She's 13, than I'm 13!


“If she’s 13, then I’m 13 too” I always see this on Twitter and Instagram of some guy who posts a picture of some girl that’s 13 but she looks like she’s 20. It is crazy that in this society girls who are 13 have on “skimpy” clothing and “booty shorts”. Like c’mon society let these children be children! I remember when I was in the 12th grade and I was working at JcPenny in the children’s department. My guy cousin grabbed these tiny little girl shorts and a two-piece bathing suit and he said “see this is why we have pedophiles because people dress their little girls like grown women”. Now this statement was pretty extreme, but he had a point. Why do people dress their little girls in clothing that makes them look so much older? Let these little girl play with dolls until they get tired and want to stop. Don’t force this grown up clothing on them. You dress you children and even if you don’t I doubt if these little girls who are 7 or 8 only want to wear “booty shorts” and “skimpy” clothing. I can’t speak for everyone but I truly do appreciate my mom and the way she dressed me. The way you dress your daughter can affect the way that she grows up to be. Not saying that clothing can dictate the way a child grows but clothing can make them seem more mature than what they truly are. Just a few days ago my mom and I seen a little girl about four years old and she had on these tiny shorts and a little t-shirt. It looked as though she was walking around in Target with just her underwear on. All we could so was shake our heads in the disbelief. It is not just with females though it is also with males and how their mothers are dressing them like teenage boys rather than little boys. Kids now a day doesn’t have flowers on their shirts or trucks on their shorts. Maybe I am taking this whole clothing thing out of content, but our parent’s generation dressed their children like children rather than mini adults.

#TeamLightskin vs #Teamdarkskin



Every since slavery there has been a comparison between dark skin blacks and light skin blacks. Even though slavery ended over a century ago, society cannot get over the idea of dark skin vs. light skin. Even as my mom was growing up she would always hear “you are pretty for a dark skin girl”. Like who wants to hear that all the time. I bet you are wondering what does that have to do with society today. Well in todays culture this is a huge problem going on in the black community. It is worse with men than it is with women. When it comes to light skin and dark skin women it usually have to do with looks and beauty and that is about it. Well when it comes to black males it is about looks, but also about how light skin males are considered to be “soft” and “feminine”. The dark skin males are thought out to be tougher and stronger. The list could go on and on about how these two “groups” of black people could be so different, but when filling out papers we all check the box that says “Black American”. The whole ideology of dark skin vs. light skin was a way for slave owners to diminish the black culture and keep them separated and weak in the mind and spirit. All this does it make the self hatred and discrimination and racism grow in the black community. Why we are still doing this in 2015 baffles me. Why are lighter skin women considered prettier than darker skin women in the 21st century? It is because the media and society still have us thinking that being fully black or dark skin is not attractive. I couldn’t tell you how times a day do I hear someone say that light skin girls are so pretty and nothing looks better than them. Now don’t get me wrong my significant other is light skin but that is not why we are dating. Skin color had nothing to do with it at all, the personality was simply amazing. Which is surprising because they say light skin girls don’t answer text messages or phone calls. We need more of what the bottom picture is saying rather than hating those who are different from us. When we are dividing ourselves up as a race and because of that we are now inferior to the other races. WE have too get out of this slave mindset because it is destroying us. At the end of the day no matter what complexion your skin is, we would all be slaves, the only difference is if you were a house or field one.
