No, really. Every time I read it, my blood pressure skyrockets. The last article I remember reading was one that glamorized Black female celebrities that choose to have children and either postome marriage, or skip it altogether.
Whatever happened to social responsibility?
Maybe the editors of Ebony Magazine forgot that single teenage mothers are running rampant in the Black community.

When I saw this thread, the article you mentioned was the first one I thought about. That article did it for me. My boyfriend and I too were appalled at the way they glamorized those Black celebrities for CHOOSING to have children and postpone or disregard marriage. It's one thing to discuss it but it's a whole other thing to make it sound like it's the best thing to do. I will not be renewing my subscription.
