Dear Stayve Jerome Thomas,
You should be ashamed of yourself.¬† If not for your completely insane commentary, then definitely for your inability to efficiently use the English language.¬† It’s called a comma and spell check…please make them your friends.
Moving on, I am not even sure why I am getting so worked up over your recent blog post.¬† I keep re-reading your slanderous remarks about Black women and comparing the situation to arguing with my eight year old son.¬† It really isn’t a fair fight, is it? But, something inside of me can’t let it go.¬† Now, I don’t pretend to be some sort of feminist or activist, but what I AM is a Black woman…and I assure you, you do not speak on behalf of me.¬† To say that we are unable to be trusted because we are essentially all gold diggers and looking for someone to pay our way is damn near blasphemous. ¬† We are living in a time where women all over the world are picking up their destinies and taking control of their lives.¬† 25 year old CEOs, band managers, photographers, recording artists…the list goes on and on.¬† Just like the residents of WhoVille, WE ARE HERE…and newsflash, we aren’t going anywhere.
Chances are you may not have ever run across a woman like me or the chicks in my Wolf Pack because you are looking in the wrong places.¬† If she is in the club half naked, hanging ‘close’ to the roped off area of the VIP, or backstage with your entourage, chances are SHE is the woman you are talking about.¬† Desperate.¬† Longing.¬† And while they are all over the place trying to get men like you to put a ring on it, we are still here…the minority, but surviving.¬† We have the right to have our noses in the air from time to time, we are the shit.¬† And if we want something, we go out and get it…
And to take it further, you attack men like my father, my brothers, my friends.  Just because they are not all rappers or producers does not make them invalid.  They have regular 9-5s, they are taking care of their children.  And even if they are working three jobs, going to school at night and living to check to check..they are still there.  They are committed.  And they deserve every ounce of respect that the world has to give them.
Even if this never reaches you.  Even if you do not care.  Know that every day 2000 people come through my little space on the web, and they will read this.  They will email this to their friends.  They will tweet this.  And if you thought your fan base was  smaller than the balls on the little Chinaman  in The Hangover, just wait until this episode is over.

good post Jaz…
Ummm what did I miss.
The latto rage spewed towards thugga? He aint ready
Why do u infer that hard working back women are in the minority? Or maybe, I’m reading the last part in correctly?
“And while they are all over the place trying to get men like you to put a ring on it, we are still here‚Ķthe minority, but surviving.”
Great article though!
Love, love, love it.
Glad you said it.
The issue is neither black nor white. What Slim Thug is expressing is that he's a dumb rapper who has neither the intelligence nor aptitude to be with a partner that truly challenges him to be a better man. And what he may expect from White women is likely what he'd expect from all women in general: Put up or Shut up. Thank you, Slim Thug, for providing a clear warning for the rest of the successful women of color to stay the hell away from you, and good luck scraping the bottom of the ho barrel.
