Some people have to find ways to hate

Well I am on a networking site called Ning. This is a site where you can create different rooms and interact with people from across the country and the world. Well i am part of a division called "Black men and the Ladies who adore them". I have met some colorful characters on the site and have interacted with some of them. A couple of days ago, an older lady by the name of RoseMerry from Orlando, FL sent me a message 'asking' me to change my picture. I asked her politely why. She claims that "we have another site for that when you like to show your body okay or please cover it up or get another pic okay .thank you.we as women suppose to be roll models to younger womens coming up .this is what i am saying okay.be blessed."

Yeap, stupid explanation.
So I, in my nice little way, I let grandma know where I was coming from.

Well I will apologize to you for being an older woman because I was taught to respect my elders. First and foremost my picture is an expression of loving ones self and the body that God blessed me with. Young people these days see more skin on regular TV than I am showing in my picture. As a freelance photographer, former model, and a single mother rearing a 14 year old son in the DC area, I am always talking to the younger men and women about the perils of life and the importance of getting a good education. As I tell them, do not judge a person for what they look like, judge them for what their mind holds.

Condemn me, boot me from the group if you like, but I am who I am and if you don't like it, that's tough. Peace and be blessed.

P.S. This is a site dedicated to black men, so why are you hating on me?

Now I don't know this woman from a can of paint (and probably never will), but I can assume that her religious belief and the lack of some good nookie is affecting her judgment. She was born in 1957, which would make her around 51 years OLD. So when I look at this woman's picture, she looks like someone's grandma propped up on a couch that has that vinyl covering on it. She is a slender woman, not a thick girl like myself. All I can sum it up to is being a hater, and you know I love all my haters!
