Sealed With a Hiss

Lets talk about it. Lets address the elephant in the room. By show of hands, who out here is unsure how they feel from one day to the next about Miss Amanda Seales? I mean, it's like.. She's pro black which is beautiful but she's also kinda toxic. She's like a burrito. Ya'll know a burrito is a good idea until it's not.The guacamole and veggies will do you some good but the beans, cheese and sour cream do nothing but make you feel gassy and bloat you for days.. You feel me? I love her confidence because she does say whatever is on her mind but at the same time I find myself wondering if she is a healthy voice for young, African American, people. I personally do not watch "The Real" but when I heard that she was going to become a regular on that show the only thing I could do was stare into the air with "Kanye eyes" and think "The producer of that show doesn't like black people." I mean.. you have Loni Love, who is clearly related to Uncle Ruckus and then you have Amanda Seales who goes to sleep angry just so she can wake up angry. Both ladies are a far extreme and a Lebron reach away from how most people of color actually think and feel on a day to day basis. Don't get me wrong, Amanda is extremely educated but to me she's like people who take Scripture and bend it to justify their sin. That doesn't make sense, pimpin' and it aint gonna work. Because she has a rather large platform, I just wish she (and many others) would be more responsible with it. I'll never forget the day that a friend of mine sent me a post of hers where she said she wont get married because she doesn't want the government involved in her relationships. My thing is this... The government?? THE GOVERNMENT?? Sis, I got front page news.. The second that you are born and you are given nine numbers to identify yourself, the government is involved. But I guess being the woman at the well forever is less scary than the government in these last and evil days! LOL!! I mean, I don't agree with many of the things that she says but a large part of me wants to hug her because I don't think she knows how to properly channel her passion. I also feel like she struggles to find the balance between outrage and outrageous. Being pro black does not have to be an angry thing. Being pro black can simply mean we support black businesses, we raise our black babies to understand the importance of being financially responsible but also the importance of loving Christ more than money. There are so many things we can do to be pro black but we also need to realize when we are being passionate and when we are being a plague to the very thing that we so desperately love. Sometimes when Amanda talks, I can't tell the difference and that's why one foot is one her boat and one foot is safely planted on shore. I know I can't be the only one that feels this way about her so, What are yall's thoughts?
