Monique Caradine who hosts a talk show on Chicago’s WVON 1690 AM recently released her Black Woman’s Manifesto for 2012 and we love it.
From MonquieCaradine.com:
Too many black women on TV appear to be making a concerted effort to hijack our image and set us back 850 years!
I’m talking about the reality show, so-called housewives of this, that and the other. Their frequent displays of violence and aggression, their obvious lack of self-esteem and their inability to show any semblance of adult-like behavior is downright embarrassing.
This is NOT okay! I say, enough is enough. It’s time to set a new standard for women everywhere. So I decided to draft the Black Woman’s Manifesto for 2012. It’s intended to be a working document with a few recommendations of how we as strong, proud, respectable, admirable, loving black women should conduct ourselves. Is this too much to ask?
Check out the video below to see her breakdown the nine point manifesto. Tell us what you think in the comment section.

I agree . There is a new website called REAL WOMEN DOING REAL THINGS REALITY FORUM , http://www.realwomenreality.wordpress.com, and they promote this same kind of unity and discourage this foolishness of how women are being portrayed in the media, and women are the biggest and grandest cheerleaders of the advertisement. i truly am in awe At Shaunie Oneal and the pimping she has now done of making “a complete fool out yourself” a career. How do you explain to you children that being a media attention individual is not an career that has longevity in it..wow!!
