The "Coco Factor"

Non-black women gracing the covers of black men’s “booty magazines” is what I have coined the “Coco Factor.” Coco of course is Nicole Austin, wife of Ice T. Why am I writing about Coco on a blog for rocking Black Girls you ask? Well, I am tired of visiting black gossip sites (it’s my guilty secret…lol) and reading black women getting down in the muck with black men about this woman. Hello, we are ROCKING BLACK GIRLS. We are MORE than a big butt and a smile. I refuse to participate in degrading Coco and calling her everything but a child of God all in the name of some sick competition; she IS married to Ice T and “performs” with him. That is enough of a burden for her right there.

Black women can we please be honest and admit that the only reason Coco (and her fellow non-black female cohorts with big booties) are working some of our nerves is because as some black man so eloquently put it *insert sarcasm here*, “A white girl with a black girl’s booty is a black girl’s worst nightmare.” LOL, that’s a sad statement right there. If some of us are sitting around thinking that a big booty is ALL we have to set us apart from white/non-black girls in order to hold on to black men….uhhmm…yeah…issues.

I challenge every Black Girl, from the very young to the grown and sexy, please FREE your mind of the “old” rules. Stop caring what black men find in vogue. WHO CARES what they think?! What matters more is how you see YOURSELF. This is 2008 and Black Girls have MANY options when it comes to dating and marriage. Therefore, if one man isn’t interested in the AWESOME Black Chica that is you…..just move it along…some other man SURE ‘nuff will be.

Let’s all let go of the “Coco Factor” TODAY and say a little prayer for Nicole.
