Black Girls Rock! Proud Movement or Racist Stamp of Insecurity?

Long after the award show, the movement, the players and the impact of Black Girls Rock! roll on. It is fair to say that the show which aired on BET in early November was a smash success.  As its predecessor, this show was filled with class, pride, education and positive imaging and kick butt entertainment.



However I couldn't help but feel dismayed about Twitter rants I witnessed concerning the movement and show.  The first by a White male, but I grieved more so because of a Black female respondent. 
The white male tweeted, "Black Girls Rock! #loud #obnoxious sure they rock--not!"  I started to respond and remembered his opinion paralleled his anus and decided against his comment being worthy of mine.  On the other hand the Black Girl's comment was that she didn't appreciate the show because it was racist and displayed how insecure as Black Women we are.
