At first I though the question would be about the representation of Black women and I read it as such, which is ironic. When I looked back it said Black sorority women. Why not Black women who attened Spelman? I am sure there are a few Deltas/AKAs/SGRjos/ZPhiB women shaking that a$$ for cash somewhere in the world. Sistahs from Spelman who had to do an thang or two to make ends meet. I just take issue with the whole judgmental. thing. It's not like she has on letters or has a DST tattoo or something like that. Truth be told, not many people outside the BGLO/HBCU world even know this woman is a Delta and probably don't care. She did the right thing by going to college and not just staying in Hollywood. Now the bar is raised and if she wants to get in she might have to take a photo or two.
I take issue with the fact that we feel like we have to do these types of things to be and or stay in the industry that wants to typecast and stereotype us anyways not that she actually succumed to the pressure.
Finally, the fact that these photos are then "linked" to her perhaps being a lesbian/bisexual is not cool (IMHO). In Atlanta where one out of 50 African American males is HIV positive, hell she gotsta get her rocks off somehow.

well, i'm sorry for having an opinion.
i believe i was under the impression that gc was a forum for interesting diaologue,and i found it interesting that keisha/rudy would pose for these types of photos. yes, i was shocked and disappointed when i saw and posted the photos on friday just b/c i just didn't think that she would have posed for pics like this and kind of felt bad that she may have needed to do this to boost her career. not that their bad, i was just shocked, that's all. i am disappointed in her b/c she will always be the little girl from the cosby show and i wish she could take some other outlet to build her career. but as i said in my earlier post, i guess you gotta do what you gotta do.
also, i know her name is keisha, but the title of the thread was "rudy from the cosby show"...it was only light humor in referring to her with that name....
i, in no way, said that these pics had anything to do with her being a lesbian. actually, i dont give a damn if she is a lesbian or not. i only shared something with my fellow greek chat "friends" that was shared with me...i don't know her from jack, so i dont' know the validity of any rumors i hear....so, kill me for sharing....
ladygreek, i simply posted the other photo because i saw it and wanted to post it. i hadn't gotten any of your emails saying not to propogate these photos...
i am very hurt by this outlash for voicing an opinion, but it is cool...you learn human nature throughout life. it's been real! I'M OUT!
