					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello World,</p>
<p>2010 must be the year of &#8220;Bash the Black Women.&#8221;  From <a href="http://jackieholness.wordpress.com/2010/04/21/why-cant-a-successful-black-woman-find-a-man-the-debate/">&#8220;Why Can&#8217;t a Successful Black Woman Find a Man?&#8221;</a> to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Chilli_Wants">&#8220;What Chilli Wants&#8221;</a>, the challenges of the love life of black women have been on display for the world to dissect, theorize and criticize&#8230;And now our issues are the subject of an increasingly popular <strong>cartoon </strong>featured on YouTube&#8230;</p>
<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="100%" height="353" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; border: 1px #999999 solid; background-color: #eaeaea; padding: 6px 6px 6px 6px;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10px;text-align:center;">If you can&rsquo;t see this video in your RSS reader or email, then <a href="https://www.afterthealtarcall.com/2010/10/17/to-beat-a-dead-horse-or-black-women-are-the-mules-of-the-world-zora-neale-hurston/" title="To beat a dead horse...(or black women are the mules of the world - Zora Neale Hurston)">click here</a>.</div>
<p>So what do you think? Is there some truth to this funny video? Or we just an easy target at this point?</p>
<p>Hopefully, next year, some other population group will be the topic of discussion&#8230;Thankfully, however, there are some black men who are willing to discuss their love woes and related issues on the Internet&#8230;.</p>
