“It may be unfair to give a bad review after one show, but Black Girls Talking (like White Girls) was not fun for me. Have you ever heard someone say that a black person sounds like they are white? Well these women sound like they are white. I wonder if they grew up in black communities, because they sound seriously rinsed of any audible ethnicity. Don't get me wrong, it isn't the grammatical that is annoying, it is the nasal enunciation with a dose of valley girl/mall rat in it.
I'm sure that is the way they speak naturally, so it is hard to be mad at them for that, but it is grating on my black ears to hear it. I've known white women that don't sound that white. If that weren't bad enough, it is the level of self-involvement that is a bit bothersome as well. To dismiss your critics as nothing but a bunch of whiny haters is decidedly shallow. If anything, would it be a bit more adventurous to engage your critics as opposed to dismissing them? Maybe they can 'create a space' for that to dwell in, or something.
Maybe it is because I am not the intended audience or demographic for this podcast, that it totally misses me in the manner that it does. If you are a young black female who feels kind of out of place in the typical urban arena, but feels that the suburban arena is more welcoming, then you may really enjoy this podcast (please not that urban and suburban refers not to geographic location as much as it does to the location of one's ideology).”

Sometimes one of them will be in the middle of a really great point and then another will throw out some serious shade and I...”Read full review »

“It took a few episodes but the content won me over. Now I will be looking at the world with a much improved feminist lense.”
