Every so often I will rant. Ranting is the act of sharing strong/heartfelt thoughts about an issue that is bothering you or making you feel uncomfortable. This is not meant to defame or offend. These are just my thoughts. Please be aware: mild/suggestive language is included. !~)
I was perusing the ever popular YouTube as I so often do for natural hair guidance and styling tips. I also look for figure competition videos and vegetarian competitors/exercise enthusiast. It helps me learn new workout techniques, recipes, just some awesome things on there. YouTube is my Google. What can I say, I'm a visual learner. Anyway, I run across a video with this dude talking about an epidemic running across the country and then her proceeds to discuss his take on black women and exercise. More specifically, he says that we're lazy and we don't exercise..... WHAT!!!! (breaks screeching). Dude let me tell you something...
BLACK WOMEN DO WORKOUT!!!!!
Are you serious? We workout. I see tons of Black women in the gym getting it in every single day. There is not a day that goes by that I don't see a black woman at the gym. Contrary to popular belief, we care about how we look and want to keep it tight, keep it right!! There's a young lady that even started a movement with this very title. Check out her facebook page, the link is below. I'm sick and tired of people thinking so negatively about black women. We have been holding it down for our community for years; playing mommy AND daddy, providing for the family, taking care of the household, all of this plus more.
We exercise, we care about our health, we want to be physically fit, and most of all.....
WE LOOK GOOD DOING IT!!!
