I do not personally care about such things or the rational behind BET’s Black Girls Rock Award Show which was held earlier this month but I can perfectly see how offensive it will be for black people if the BBC had something like ‘White Girls Rock’.
Few months ago, I witnessed the disgusting uproar on this blog-GhanaCelebrities.Com when a light skinned Ghanaian celebrity-Menaye Donkor said; light girls rule. Most of the dark skinned people conjured offensiveness from out of no where and attached it to her message…
This is a black woman just saying her colour shade rules and it was a third world war for others. On this basis, can you imagine what sort of war it will be if any mainstream white media had something like ‘White Girls Rock’?
I am a white woman married to an African and personally I do not find this offensive but I find it hypocritical of black people who are happy to celebrate their race and throw it in the face of others. But the moment other race-White, decides to celebrate or do anything close to what they do, it becomes RACISM and OFFENSIVE to them.
I want to keep this short and so will end by asking; how come no black person thinks the Award show ‘Black Girls Rock’ is offensive to white people. But same black people would have found ‘White Girls Rock’ extremely offensive?
