		<description>QUOTE :  &quot; When it comes to the events themselves, I’ll never be convinced of the value of any event where sexuality is at the forefront, &lt;b&gt;especially sexual behaviors that so closely mirror the “slave sexuality” where women put themselves on display, rile up the men&lt;/b&gt;, and are then pursued or assaulted because of the atmosphere . . .  &quot;


WHAT? That is NOT slave sexuality. Your friend was stupid. There was no slave sexuality. Ladies were called wenches &amp; men called bucks. Ladies were raped by their owners to produce more slaves. Bucks were forced to have sex to produce more slaves.

What your wrote sounds to me like you are blaming ladies for sexual advances!

Why didnt u speak up to your friend&amp; demand that she IMMEDIATELY go 2 her aunt&#039;s house &amp; get a shirt? Instead u rode around with her while she was topless driving up 2 guys. What if some guy pulled her out of the car?</description>

		<description>Thembi,
      I&#039;m from South Carolina and we have Black Bike Week. The one time that I did try to hang I was in constant fear for my safety. So when I hear that Freaknik is going to be resurrected THIS WEEKEND I am less than pleased.
Honestly, i don&#039;t think it&#039;s the college kids that the problems start with it&#039;s the adults who got kicked out of high school who are just lookin&#039; for a party to start some sh*^. The sad thing is that mob mentality takes over so quickly.</description>

		<description>&quot;never again went to any black event promising to be a huge outdoor party.&quot;

Wow, you are one of the few people I know that share the same sentiment as me. Why at every outside event we have with large crowds, shootings, fighting or the like occur? 

We are a diverse people with many different backgrounds, yet the only one perpetuated is the poor representations. We are not all the bling bling, 5 baby mama/daddy havin, only ebonics speaking,droppin it like its hot in random places, hoochie mama, hanging on the street corner, dealing drug personas that society has been shown and have been accustomed to.

And in the event of rendering myself furious at the actions portrayed at these kinds of events, I chose not to attend any more as well.

Now, speaking on this Freaknik tomfoolery. I was instantly irritated at the commercial. All I saw were big round naked booty cheeks on shoulders and chains and gold teeth. I will NOT be watching. When I heard the dialect of one of the characters, I instantly turned.

Wish I had the money to bring back all the black shows that tried to be about something and put them on 1 channel. Call the station WYBM (What You&#039;ve Been Missing) and just play The Cosby Show, A Different World, Good Times, Thats My Mama, Girlfriends, Everybody Hates Chris, etc etc. Wouldnt that be nice?</description>

		<description>Alls I&#039;m sayin is...

At least somebody found Kel Mitchell and gave him a job.

Ok, that&#039;s not all.

I also note that there&#039;s more calls to bring &quot;Freaknik&quot; back than to do another Million Man March...</description>
