Sigh! They don't care, it's been a week and the editors at the Reader have not given and explanation or an apology about the offensive cover..."Nobody Likes Black Girls." I'm moving past this, its obvious there are still some racist and ignorant people that don't want to learn or change, so Black women will just continue to be hated. I just wish everyone could take a Black Studies class so they could be fully informed about Black culture before they began writing. The first shall be last, and the last shall be first. -Sheep amongst wolves— July 18, 2012 12:06 p.m.

Even if it's one piece taken out of a lengthy article, the point is, it’s not relevant. If you're going to have a small sentence like that on the front of a magazine for the world to see, it needs to be a topic or at least tie in to the story. So evidently The Reader put this on the cover to try to offend Black girls, because if they would have read this article, they would have used a sentence more related to this story, not "Nobody likes Black girls" Foolishness.— July 12, 2012 3:02 p.m.

In addition, I think it's up to parents of all colors to teach thier kids to appreciate all races and ethnicities. The media is not helping by making negative images of Black woman, and other races, and teenagers like J are easily influenced by the media. Teenagers want to be liked, and are followers, (like making fun of the Black American idol contestants) so parents need to teach them to be leaders and not to be closed minded. If they were educated by the schools on our history from slavery to freedom, and learned our accomplishments and success, maybe they would have a better understanding of why we are so hated and treated negatively. -A Black woman in San Diego that Black and Non-Black men like— July 12, 2012 10:41 a.m.

I read this whole article as well, and didn't see any point to the blurb on the cover that said nobody likes Black girls...This upset a lot of my friends yesterday on FB, including me. I have many Black girl friends that only date White men or non Black men exclusively, and the majority of men that approach me to ask me out are non Black. Black women have always been hated by our society and media, yet we have so many other races plumping up their lips with fillers, tanning their skin, making their hair curly, and even getting butt implants to get curves that most Black women have naturally. I'm tired of people perpetuating the stereo type that Black women are not beautiful and nobody likes them. This is completely false. Black women are beautiful and strong women that many men are too intimidated by to approach because we are so confident. Too bad for us we're so strong and beautiful I guess.— July 12, 2012 9:40 a.m.
