I can’t agree with you more. I don’t know when it’s going to stop, but look only at disney and the clothes the kids wear on those shows. And let’s not forget mtv, ads, and everything else mind bending.

It’s amazing how parents will buy their children pants with writing on the behind and skirts that ride up their backsides and then wonder why the girls are whoring around or pregnant before they get a high school diploma.

Ugh…

You’re right – the clothes don’t buy themselves, and the habits don’t come out of nowhere. It’s today’s young parents that think everything is “cute” because they are still living like they are horny high school kids themselves. The hypersexualization of the Black community started in the 70s, exploded in the early 90s, and is destroying our present and our future.

I think it takes the moral outrage of people like you and your readers to cause America to remember that it wasn’t always this way, and it doesn’t always have to be this way.

Thanks for this

This is what I worried about with my daughter and now my grand daughter when she gets older. Im not sure of what happened to kids just being kids and dont even get me started on my Sweet Sixteen. On that show both the parents and the kids need a good old fashion butt whipping. *sigh*

I pray that we can get back to the day where childhood is not a dirty word.

I agree with you entirely about letting our girls just be girls. What’s the rush in making them women. They will have more than enough time to do what women do. I feel that our girls need guidance, especially with all the negativity that is thrown their way on a daily basis. It’s funny you wrote about this topic now. I have been thinking about becoming a BIG sister to young girls in my community. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic.
