HunnyBeeTelltheTruth!
(Betye Saar- The Liberation of Aunt Jemima)
"The Truth about Mammy: Did she really exist?"
Round, Black, Buck Teeth, & Happy- these are thoughts that come to mind when one thinks of the Mammy stereotypes. The Mammy caricature was set in politics & social arenas to perpetuate thoughts that African American women were content and happy as slaves. The Mammy character beard white children as if they were their own, cooked, cleaned, and shuffled to a happy beat, for the masters/employers. They even rested under unlivable conditions singing at night humming all American tunes as happy as they could be.
These women were thoughts of the imagination, placed into society to make Northerners believe slaves were pleased with life in a "simple and controlled" Ante-bellum South.
For years, we have watched the Mammy caricature in movies such as “Imitation of Life”, on Syrup commercials and advertisements, and more presently, on TV shows like the 1990s hit TV show, “Thelma”. While these are the teachings folklore, history, and movies have taught, by digging further, you will notice that there was much more to Mammy than what was told. Historian Catherine Clinton of Queen's University notes in her book entitled, "The Plantation Mistress: Woman’s World in the Old South":
Records do acknowledge the presence of female slaves who served as the “right hand” of plantation mistresses. Yet documents from the planter class during the first fifty years following the American Revolution reveal only a handful of such examples. Not until after Emancipation did black women run white households or occupy in any significant number the special the special positions ascribed to them in folklore and fiction. The Mammy was created by white Southerners to redeem the relationship between black women and white men within slave society in response to the antislavery attack from the North during the ante-bellum period. In the primary records from before the Civil War, hard evidence for its existence simply does not appear.
So who gets the last laugh?
Actress Hattie McDaniel, starred in several movies between the 1930s-40s as the Mammy character. Although portraying such as degrading character on screen, in 1939 she won an Oscar for best supporting actress for “Gone With the Wind”. McDaniel is noted to be the first African American to win an Academy award. When asked about portraying such as character, she opened her mouth, stood straight, and responded, “Why should I complain about making seven thousand dollars a week playing a maid? If I didn’t, I’d be making seven dollars a week actually being one.”
While Ms. McDaniel’s did capitalize on making a fortune doing what other women had to do to make a living for their families, I believe just like the Mammy caricature imaged above, Hattie had the last laugh, and while white faces in the old South laughed at her, she had the shot gun in her left hand ready to point and shoot for the unimaginable- A successful Black Woman!
It's More than important you check this A Different World clip out as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3cGgr-Rz-w
And just because I'm in argument with myself (i.e. comments below) about Hattie McDaniels & if she's a "sell-out" or not....
Quote from Song of the Day -
"When we talk about black maybe
We talk about situations
Of people of color and because you are that color
You endure obstacles and opposition
And not all the time from...from other nationalities
Sometimes it come from your own kind
Or maybe even your own mind
You get judged..you get laughed at..you get looked at wrong
You get sighted for not being strong
The struggle of just being you
The struggle of just being us..black maybe"
Common- U, Black Maybe

Hey Everybody!
Welcome back to PutEm’OnBlast Music Monday’s!
Today I figured we’ll cover my beloved Jay Z. While I can’t deny it, Jay Z is definitely the best MC in the game hands down, Jigga Man has definitely had his share of sampled hits. This MC definitely believes in producers who have done their homework, dug through vinyl, and have found those old skool beats that make us all want to have that “Diamond in the back, sunroof top, digging in the scene with a gangsta lean- woo hoo woo” affect!-
Mr. Carter has been in the Hip Hop game since 1996 with his debut album “Reasonable Doubt”, (not counting his first few cameos and first video- “Hawaiian Sophie”- yikes). Since then, this master of Hip Hop has conquered the unimaginable, and has opened the doors for future Hip Hop artists in Chi-town, New York, & even more recently, DC with the Washington Post proclaimed “The Great Rap Hope” Wale!
As for putting Jay Z on blast, even though he’s sampled over 140 songs, this is definitely a time where I “Can’t knock the Hustle” –
Check out these few tunes Jay Z sampled to build the his “Empire State of Mind”~

HunnybeeHEALTHY
A Cure 4 Zoom- THINK PINK!
Today I came across a note from my mother. It was a birthday card that she signed a few years ago with a note that read, “U, me, buddies”. Even though she’s been gone for almost four years now, it still amazes me how I remember every detail of everything she did. After all the time & space between us, I remember how she crossed her hands when she slept; the way she jumbled her keys when she walked into the house; and the way she threw her head back and laughed at things we would say- I remember all!
For some people, a mother- is just a mother. A person you see and maybe talk to only on holidays, and a person who you complain about when you may not see eye-to-eye with all the time. In my situation, my mother was my best friend. I couldn’t wait to turn 21 and have wine with her and laugh at funny nothings; I couldn’t wait to watch her grow old, and marvel at the way her beauty never changed even while her hair slowly turned to silver. I also couldn’t wait for the day I could call her to tell her to run to the hospital, her grandchild is coming… Most of all I couldn’t wait for the day I could bring her into the home & family I helped to build, sit her down in her favorite rocking chair, and watch her as she rocked my daughter to sleep whispering to her, “U, me, buddies”.
February 7, 2006 marked the day all of those “I can’t waits” came undone. Breast cancer was the cause of death, and while I’m left with more grief than anyone could imagine, I’m also left with a cause for wanting to spread the news about Breast Cancer to African American women!
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), AIDS is the leading cause for death among African American women. Breast Cancer is the second. Both Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the American Cancer Society state, “White women have a higher rate of developing breast cancer than any other racial or ethnic group. However, among women under age 40, African Americans have a higher incidence of breast cancer than white women. They are more likely to be diagnosed with larger tumors than white women.” In addition, according to Susan G. Komen for the Cure “Racial & Ethnic Differences” pamphlet, “African American women are less likely than white women to survive for five years after being diagnosed with breast cancer. The five year survival rate for African American women is 77 percent, compared to 90 percent for white women.”
With this, I SAY NO MORE! Licensed practitioners advise not to start a yearly routine mammogram screening until age 40. After reading this information, it almost seems as though by the time I turn 40, my risks may have doubled mainly because of my race! While the topic of Health Disparity is one of the many issues our sun-kissed- President Obama must tackle, this issue is something we all need to work on improving! Ladies, please educate yourself on all of the health issues that could come your way if you don’t defend yourself and schedule routine check-ups, mammograms, STD screenings, etc. Men, understand that breast cancer not only effects your counterpart, but also you, as men, especially African American men, are subject to Breast cancer as well!
Below are a few links on places you can follow up with for mammogram testing, as well as information on Breast Cancer, and how it’s affecting everyone. In addition, below are also products you can use that donate money to Breast Cancer research!

HunnyBeeARevolutionary
"I am...A REVOLUTIONARY"
At age 10, I lived in Montgomery County, MD., and “preached and teached” African American pride to my schoolmates. I passed out homemade fliers and pamphlets about African American history, I made my friends sing freedom songs, and I asked all my friends to recite the Black Panther Party FOR SELF DEFENSE Ten-Point Program, (a list of demands to promote a form of Reparations African Americans). Even though this was a small act, I knew I was a Revolutionary at age 10, even if it was on the playground of my “middle-class” suburban elementary school.
Growing up in a house where it was common to get an everyday dose of African American history, I was taught to read between the fine lines and learn about my ancestors, our history, and to not settle for the way society may look at my race. After school, I mainly spent my time in the libraries in NW D.C. with my gram, learning about the history of my ancestors, conditions and struggles they went through, and narratives of how they made it through injustices. “Sick days”, my gram and I spent hours driving back and forth to old slave Plantations gathering information. Summers I spent reading though autobiographies of some of my favorite leaders.
For those reasons, I chose to graduate from the University of Maryland College Park, with a Bachelors degree in the Cultural & Social Analysis of African American History.
To me, it’s amazing that today, even though we have a sun-kissed President, there are still children living in Southeast, Washington D.C., that have never visited the Fredrick Douglass house, even though they may live within a 10 block radius of the estate. You can talk to children all day, and hear all the gossip about Beyonce, or who Kanye stole the mic from last week, but if you ask, some may only know the extent of African American history as just consisting of Martin Luther king Jr., Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jackson, and President Obama. Recently, I’ve even heard adults discuss the topic of African American history, but stumble upon whether Lauryn Hill came up with the clever title of the “Mis-Education”, or if it was Carter G. Woodson. I also find it dangerous and distasteful that not only our local news stations broadcast live news and call President Obama, “Mr. Obama”, but also when we engage in this act ourselves in professional commentary. Sometimes I have to remind myself, “Was I confused, is he not the President???” Imjustsayin-
With this in mind, below is a quiz. Basic African American facts I gave my students last year while teaching African American history/Genealogy, to my 7-14 year olds in Washington D.C.- If you don’t know the answers, then go back-learn African American history, and understand why it is important for you to understand its worth in today’s society. If you happen to be African American, I have to except that “to each his own”, and maybe it wasn’t taught in your house, or taught in your school, but today, you should start to search to help brighten your future.
You can’t go Forward without Knowing your PAST! Go back and Reclaim it! Sankofa!

HunnyBeeHaveMorals
"When Virgin Mary meets Pussy Poppin’ on a Hand Stand"
PEOPLE, what is up with gospel music making a special appearance in the club scene? Is the sudden craze to play Jesus music and R. Kelly all at the same time? Please let me know whe this phase is over because I'm too deep in the hole with my Hell Mary's to be a participant! It’s a funny topic of discussion, and I know you all love the Virgin Mary title, but seriously, has our generation lost all of its morals? - Now I know that in theory, Christians are to believe that God is everywhere. He see’s you through the good, and in the bad- but do I really want God in the club with me while other ladies are “pussy poppin’ on a hand stand” in the club? I think not! Not only have I heard gospel songs in the club, but even early morning talk shows (i.e. Russ Parr Morning Show), play gospel songs and in the same mix segment bump R. Kelly’s “12 Play”, or Trey Songz “Invented Sex”.
What happened to morals people?
Let me say first and foremost that I am NOT one to point fingers! I’ll always be the one to say, “hunnybee, do you!”, but I really think something is wrong when a lady can dance as provocatively to gospel, as she can to Uncle Luke- lol- and that’s just my opinion. I guess the question I’m concluding to, is what happened to morals? What happened to respecting ourselves, our parents, and GOD? Are we that far gone to the point where we can’t decipher if “God in Me” playing in the club, or if that’s “Ass Clap”? Imjustsayin-
When I talk to my grandmother she constantly talks about how disappointed she is with our generation, and how she doesn’t understand how clubbing, dancing, drinking, and “sexing” has replaced education, morals, and GOD. Suddenly after seeing visions of girls “Rockin that Thing” even harder to gospel tunes than DREAM himself, I’m taken aback and have to say for the first time in LIFE I almost agree with my gram- YIKES!
I know that not everyone in the club enjoys watching ladies pussy pop on a hand stand to Jesus music, or enjoy hearing Shirley Caesar and Pretty Ricky all in the same 10 min block (even though Pretty Ricky are my boys)- so what do we do? Do we allow ourselves continue to just breeze past these opportunities and say nothing? Do we keep ignoring this while our youth grow up thinking Shirley Caesar and Pretty Ricky are one in the same? How do we stop ourselves from becoming moral-less?

HunnyBeeBold
Lately I’ve been kind of down on the fashionista tip. Not sure about all you other ladies, but when the cold seasons start to hit, they put a DRAG on my spirit, my wardrobe, and most importantly- MY HAIR!! Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about “changin’ it up on ya’ll right quick”- (lol, my country colloquialism of the day), but I’m just not sure what to do!?!
Just for the rundown, Jlynne is ALL ABOUT THE HAIR! I’ve worn tracks, I’ve cut the hair, I’ve done curly, I’ve done straight, I’ve done highlights…I’ve basically tried all the looks in the book, but I’m still not satisfied with my hair… Like I said before- I’m a TRUE blood Pisces, and I like a little change in my style- Dare to Be Different!
This weekend I’m hitting up the Big Apple with my girls- (the Black Sex and the City crew)- so I think to get ready and pumped for a very stylish occasion, I’m thinking about getting colored track (weave) pieces to try out! Maybe go for a turquoise and purple look…. Check this chick out- You like?

Granted homegirl went a little far from what I want, but I commend her for keeping it different & Bold!
You can find out how to achieve a more sensible way of doing this by watching the FoxNews clip below- the clip basically tells you how to clip the pieces in instead of paying more than a lot of money to get the actual streaks.

The Low Down:
For those ladies living in more of a urban setting- I’ve realized that the local beauty store- (my other best friend), sells HUMAN hair tracks in small pieces. The pieces come in all different types of colors, and range from $1-$10- depending on how many and how long you want them! Although you either have to sew or bond these pieces, they look really HOT once styled correctly. If you work in a corporate office, you can take them out when you go to work, and when you go to party later with the girls, you can “shake it out" with your colorful tresses!
Now Ain’t that sexy!

So Ladies,
Being that this is my very first blog, I figured I would dedicate it to the fabulous women I love and adore, the women I look up to, and the women who move me in life, fashion, and struggles. Now just so everyone knows, I am a 20-something year old woman with a Biggie Size amount of personality! I’d like to think I get my compassion, patience, and frame from my mother; my love for life, freedom, culture, and need to entertain (goof troop all day)- from my aunt; and my FIRE, sense of history, and keen eye for fashion, from my grandmother (very foxy lady…seriously)! With that said- there are a plethora of other women out there who have not only inspired me to become the gorgeous woman I am today- (embracing) - but also, sculpt me into being the woman I plan to be!
So- here they go…
