Why Are You Waiting For The New Year To Act Right? 10 Ratchet Behaviors We Should Leave Behind in 2012…Starting Now

December 28th, 2012 - By Toya Sharee

2.  Thinking being a “bad girl” is cute and respectable.

There’s something about throwing cocktails at each other and cussing loudly in public that some women think is cute.  Somewhere along the way, we began to believe having an automatic attitude and making people feel small somehow garners respect. Although the cast of Love and Hip Hop will try to tell you differently, a little class and common sense will still take you far.  This doesn’t mean we have to dampen our diva personality down to demure, but keeping it real doesn’t have to equal keeping it rude.  Let’s make an attempt to be ladies again. Next time you’re out in public and contemplating getting crunk with the first person who rolls their eyes your way, ask yourself, “What would Michelle Obama do?”

    Even though leggings are so comfortable, I realllly wish the trend of wearing them as pants would retire now. I can’t tell you how many times my eyes have been assaulted seeing stuff shaking, jiggling, dropping, popping n locking in some leggings. Just because they stretch to your size doesn’t mean you should wear them in front of innocent bystanders, EVER.

    Just think of all the power that the rappers have, and could be building up black people with positive sayings!Think about the media and entertainment industry,that could turn this situation round. Instead of what Michelle Obama would do..what happen to what would Jesus would do? that’s part of the problem,people took God church out their vocabulary and worship these imperfect humans.
