It probably isn't that English isn't her first language. Some black people say "mines" for "mine". As in this is yours and this is mines.

My sister's two stepsons talk this way--both of them have Master's degrees and professional jobs, and they say "mines".

You don't see white women do that, because how often do you see them being torn down because of their skin or hair compared to black women.

No clue why that bothers people.

When the way you look is not widely represented in the beauty and entertainment industry, sometimes having extra confidence can go a really long way. Try having someone say "You're pretty for a Black girl." (said to my sister) and see how that feels. She's stunningly gorgeous, but yet, such a statement has to be modified to include her Blackness.

Also consider that, statistically speaking, Black women in the online dating world are the least desired/messaged/contacted demographic. Believing you are a queen/magic/great can help build confidence and heal longtime wounds that one incurs when they struggle with their racial identity.

I'll just say I believe all the posts pertaining to this ring true from what I have witnessed and experienced.

But I'll refrain from adding too much since race based posting isn't allowed. The bolded definitely resonates with me though.

I have never felt the need to refer to myself as a "beautiful black queen" but I don't care if others do.

Once again, what does this woman's Instagram have to do with relationships?

I don't get the whole Instagram thing either but apparently people use it for social networking/media and online dating but I thought it was just for posting pictures honestly. Remember the whole Donald Sterling incident and how he made a big deal out of his daughter putting pics on Instagram.

Its like if a guy comes on a lady hes a pervert. But if its the other wat around you wont hear crap from the general masses.

Speaking of that there was an incident on the news about a guy at a gas station that was touched in a bad way by 2 females and he reported it to the authorities. Yet he was called "gay" or "homo"

You still dont get the point. I was just saying in general and an example that if or whenever a guy approaches lady in such a way he is called out for it. But if it was the other way around she is not called out.

The poster came up with this "stalking" thing which. I responded with the if that is the case question.

I knew the point you were making mate but felt it stemmed from something else

Thank you for the clarification though
