I read your blog and GASP— I’m black. I know I’m over a year late to this post, but what that woman said to you was crazy. Why wouldn’t black people be interested in a sex blog? I get so tired of hearing “black people don’t do this” and “black people don’t read that.” And just b/c you are black doesn’t mean you have to just write about black issues. Keep doing your thang Funky Brown.

I love this. How the H does someone SOUND black? Ugh… crap like that just chaps my hide.
You should have told that woman to stuff it. Apparently she’s a little repressed since she things black people don’t have sex…… perhaps she needs some.
Sounding black… like our race is limited to only certain conversation topics! What kills me is that a black woman actually allowed this mess to spew from her lips. UGH that just pissed me off.

smelly females with a deep tan…… ya’ll summer in the south of France…..
methinks a funky black chick means an ambidex lady who can seriously hang…
she has the talk, the walk, the angle… and wont ever let you dangle out there
on a limb…… she will caress you ….. confess to you ….. feel you …. love you…
as long as you are super straight with her….. cross her in any way… and she will
let you know that the last thing that you will see in this life is her face as you leave this earth….

lamesabassman…… sistahs can be very serious…. when you’re hole card is peeped…..

@Letinstar: “a smelly female with a deep tan?.”

LOL! Actually, that describes a lot of people in the summer…:P

I’m sort of dumbstruck that she said: “Your site’s not really a black site.”

Dumbstruck.

@Twanna: *smiles* Thanks! Well, I AM a “Twitterstorian”! Anyway, I’m full of random history knowledge bits. And yet, I’d totally suck on Jeopardy!.

@ Taiwan Brown: I know, right?? :)

@ A.: You always leave interesting comments.

@ DJ Ed-Nice: Heeey, you’re getting a present from me!! :)

@ Sid: Visit New York! I miss the way you think.

@ lamesabassman: :)

@ Bryan R. Adams: WNYC is awesome. I’m a huge fan of public radio. And, of course, a huge fan of you too. :)

@ akeela: :)

@ dkzone: Good point. “Voice” often includes a lot of different things: race, class, region, etc. Hills of North Carolina, NYC, Mississippi, Chicago and San Diego all have different accents.

@ Cinnabit: :)

@ Aspasia: LOVE your comments!!

@ Baba Doodlius: :)

@ lamesabassman: That “the more things change” stuff is soooooo true.

@ letinstar: I wonder if there’s something to this whole “aging” stuff. I used to ARGUE people down — even when it was totally clear neither of us was ever going to agree with the other’s point of view. Now that I’m older — and, not coincidentally, more zen and more certain of specific views — I don’t really see the point of arguing for the sole point of being argumentative/combative.

@ Chuck: Thanks baby. :) Glad you like the site. No misrepresentations here; my site’s supposed to be about what the about page says it’s about: I’m a sex, dating and relationships writer, and this site’s about my daily life. :)

@ Carol: Welcome to my site!! :) If you keep reading Funky Brown Chick, GREAT! If not, you’ll be missed. Couple things. (1) If you’re new, check out the about page. (2) You mentioned you’re not quite sure how I “made the leap [...]“. Re-read the post.(3) Here’s where I think we might disagree: I think sex is sex. Period. Saying Funky Brown Chick isn’t an appropriately black site is like saying Grey’s Anatomy isn’t an appropriately black show. I, like Shonda Rhimes (Grey’s creator), am black. Whether or not I (or my writing about sex/relationships) fits your pre-defined stereotype(s) is, of course, your opinion. And, you’re entitled to it.

@ Anna Molly: WHAT?!?!?! You don’t like hot sauce?!?!?! YOU’RE NOT BLACK!! :) Kidding of course!! ;)

@ ZuelaPooh: “Who says that being black means being just a certain way?” Bingo. :)

@ Aspasia: Whoooooa Mrs. History Buff, you are! :)

@ZuelaPooh: Um, Hispanics/Latinos? Hispanic used to be the “standard” though that’s shifted to using Latino more and depending on who you ask the term Latino could or could not include Brazilians who are descended from the Portuguese colonists as opposed to the Spaniards. Asian-Americans used to uniformly be referred to as “Oriental” which, until about 30 or so years ago, wasn’t considered the slur it is now. The term “African American” was popularized by Jesse Jackson in the 1980s.
