"Slim Thug Gets the Backhand..."

So in case you hadn't read my previous blog entry titled, "Slim Who???" let me give you a little background. Houston rapper Slim Thug had reported to Vibe.com that he felt black women should stand by their men more. He continued with comments and quotes that compared black women to white women in how they treat their men and how black women need to lower their standards to accommodate their men. He even foolishly went on to state that successful black men are virtually extinct. Crazy, right? You can check out the full article here.

Well, it seems that his words ticked off a few of his fellow celebs who were appalled by his words. Former Danity Kane member Aubrey O'Day voiced her words regarding Slim's woman bashing. In her Vibe.com article, O'Day explained how she felt that Slim's words were not a race thing, but more about how men nowadays cannot compete with the wave of independent women that have emerged across all races. She stated, "...spineless men of all creeds are waving the proverbial white flag of defeat...they've resorted to projecting their insecurities on those that, God forbid, expect them to live up to their potential."

If you ask me, the girl has made some extremely good points in defense of not just black women, but women in general. At the end of the day, we as women need to stand up and be proud of our independence and know that it's okay to have high standards when it comes to your choice of man or the type of life you choose to live. After all, the sky is the limit. Who are we to settle for less than what we as strong and independent women deserve? Exactly.
