WE HAVE LOST OUR DIGNITY!!!!
We as young black women have lost our dignity. Last weekend I was on a taxi to Njoli, on the way I saw a car washing business were young black women were washing the cars wearing close to nothing, every asset they had was out there for everyone to see. What got me thinking the most was how everyone in the taxi saw it as a normal thing, something that should happen. One granny made me have goosebumps whe she said; young black women of our generation do not respect "UBUNTOMBI BABO". I believe that one of these days we are going to go around naked and no-one will even be bothered by that, because society has adapted to seeing young girls wearing close to nothing.I went up to central yesturday and walked up Parliament Street to go to Spar,and on the way I noticed all the posters that are hanged there,almost every poster had a half naked woman, it has come to the point were naked women sell products they make an event more interesting,and I wondered who do we blame for this, our parents for not instilling in us the value of being a woman and how we should carry ourselves, or do we blame the new South Africa for giving us to many rights to an extent that we refuse to listen to our parents. It's really heartaching that we are no longer viewed as beautiful young women but as cheap objects!!!!!!!!!!

the trick is the fashion that people follow,practically the whole sex sells has gone out of hand. Girls seek for attention in the wrong places and are now resulting to methods that they see in music vedeo's which is simply just that a music video.
ReplyDeletei wish we could all have a reality check that life is what we make it and self respect goes a long way..
Yho Lisa-I thought I was the only one that actually noticed how self-degrading women have become these days!
