    Yall know they coulda did better with this damn puppet. THat ? aint even even.

    Looking like it just got mugged on Sesame Street.

    Sorry but this is getting to be a bit too much. First we're supposed to accept fat ? and pretend they're attractive. THen everytime you dont think some black crispy BBQ'd skinned ? is attractive you're "Self-hating" now they peddling unkept naps on the eyes of our ? youth? ? THAT.

    COmb that muppet ? 's naps for godsake. Im all for natural hair. But gotdamn it that fro is WRONG.

    Lol here you go.smh!
    This cartoon has nothing to do with skin tone.
    It's about how little black girls don't need to feel like they
    MUST have a perm.I love the message of it
    but it's sad that Sesame Street actually had to
    do this because that's how bad the media puts down
    black women.

    Never said it did. My point is media keeps trying to make acceptable that which will NEVER be acceptable (i.e. fat girls, ugly girls, and in this case; Muppets with uneven afros.)

    I'm sorry but females brought that ? on themselves.

    Who invented the press kit for black women? A BLACK WOMAN. Black men dont give a ? how your hair looks as long as it's not wild and ignorant.

    Black women do a good job of putting themselves down. You all dont need help from the media. Stop playing the victim. Aint nobody "out to get" your black ? .

    Hit the gym. Comb your damn hair and lose the attitude and maybe people will treat you better. Media my ass. ? for the last 5 years it's been a BLACK man named Tyler Perry & the hoards of church ? who support him thats been your main source of embarrassment.

    Lol.um woah.
    First off not ALL OR MOST black women
    fit that stereotype..idk where you live,but
    me,my family,my friends, & the people I see
    everyday, DON'T fit your little description.

    & if you can HONESTLY sit here & tell
    that media has NOTHING to do with why some
    black women/black girls have low self confidence
    you are lying.for ex:Why do you think some girls
    want to be extra extra skinny to have a runway
    model frame,it's the media!

    & it really amazes how quick you are to talk
    all this stuff about someone who is the same
    race as you.Don't you have a black family?

    I wanna see the Darxwell muppet... lmao



    ...comes on screen all slow, ...permanent mean mug while wearing army green winter cap, ...and chucks, ...says "so what the ? you lookin at? Am I supposed to dance for you? Is that what you wanna see? You wanna see the BLACK muppet dance for you? Huh? You fuBLEEPin piece of BLEEP troglodytes, listen you little Honklets lemme tell you something. You better hope to that fake ass ? you pray to every night that I don't find out where you live. If it were up to me I'd take that ? bomb that Oscar The Grouch has been making in the basement of his trashcan of his, and pour it into that ? Poland Spring water supply you devils love so ? much. And thats right, ? isnt real, and if he was he'd be black as the back of Forest Whittaker's neck. So make sure if you pray to anyone pray to me, pray so that you appease me and keep me from sneaking into your house at night, feeding all your beloved dogs you love to kiss on the mouth rat poison, and parents, pray that I never ? your daughters because once they go black they're gonna have to find a ? BLEEPing HORSE to fill the void in her life. So with that, goodnight children, and sweet dreams."

    TYpically ? black ? response.

    "Maybe that's just the black women YOOUUUUUUUU deal with."

    Soon as you speak the truth about black females ALLLLLLLL the sudden everyone of them turns into a gotdamn college graduate who knows over 45 beautiful, fit black women with 6 figure incomes who are in their mid-30s and been married for 10-years in stable relationships.

    I aint buyin it ? . Most of you are just as I said. It's not a sterotype when it's true. Full of FAT and full of ATTITUDE. REALITY.
    & if you can HONESTLY sit here & tell
    that media has NOTHING to do with why some
    black women/black girls have low self confidence
    you are lying.for ex:Why do you think some girls

    UM....THEY SHOULD BE SKINNY. Being fat is unattractive and unhealthy. Hell if the media is encouraging girls to be skinny then ? BLESS EM. I applaud them. Hopefully there is more pressure in the future. WAY MOER PRESSURE. GOOD. Shame these fat ass hoes into shape. Im so sick of fat ? I dont know WTF to do. And Im sick of idiots like you trying to convince me that being fat is somehow OK. Because IT.IS.NOT. OH WAIT! Let me guess what ? ass speech you gonna give:

    "You can be fat and healthy!" - WRONG

    "REAL WOMEN have 'curves'" - WRONG

    "Skinny women is just a European Standard of beauty"
    - WRONG.

    Get your fat ass in the gym and stop whining. The media didnt force you to shove all that ? into your body. The media didnt make your body an utter disaster. YOU DID.

    Just a sterotype huh?

    Sorry but this ? is getting out of hand. Ugly is just ugly. You cant put a ? puppet on TV and expect kids are going to find your ugly black ass attractive. Cuz when u trn off the TV its back to the real world. It's back to reality. And the reality is if you have natural hair GOOD. But it better damn well look KEPT.

    And Fat ? arent sought after. They are SETTLED for. Get over it.

    I don't think that was the point of it. And I think this post is wrong as hell. Negativity about some things are not cool.

    I thought that it was wonderful.

    Very good thing for young Black girls to see.

    The ? hair was wild. Thats all I was trying to say. But now it's a whole thing about media this and media that.

    Sorry Im sick of "media" trying to force feed the idea that "all girls are beautiful." Because it's just flat out not true. All girls are NOT beautiful. Some of these broads are just going to have to come to grips with the fact that they live in this place called REALITY and in reality nobody likes obesity and nobody wants to see wild ass nappy hair. PERIOD.

    KEPT nappy hair? GOOD. KEPT natural; hair? GREAT!

    BUt dont just tell me I cant make fun of some black girl wit a crooked afro because, "the media" made her insecure. Tell that little ? to stop all that gotdamn cryin, grab a pick and even that ? out for godsake.

    Lol oh wow,you are crazy.& I'm only 18
    so idk about all that income junk/stable relationship mumbo jumbo
    your're talking about,but ? , if you were near me I could point out
    WAY WAY more than over 45 black women who are effin' beautiful.

    & I know that skinny/in shape in good.
    I'm talking about the girls who are anorexic/bulimic & that are
    under weight & yet still sees themselves as fat.The media
    takes part in making them feel fat.

    & I'm no way near fat,never have been fat,never WILL
    be fat..lol.

    & the puppet is not ugly because it is black.I feel that's
    basically what you're saying.

    & LASTLY, you're basically making it seem like all the other women
    in the world are perfect.You're acting like you've never seen
    an obese woman who was of a different race.& when you do
    respond to this you're probably going to say "Well the rest of
    races of women in the world are not as bad as black women."

    smh.
