Shereé Whitfield

 

Shereé Whitfield in her own creation from her collection: She by Sheree collection

 

Shereé Whitfield has a good design on her fabulous body. She portrayed herself on her show as mean & manipulative. Constantly in a holding posture holding enormous pain, and anger. She speaks as if her hurt came from abandonment or betrayal. I have watched her show, REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA. It is a story of stories of privilege and self-absorption a short lifetime from the accomplishments of the Civil Rights movement, and Negroes legacy from the material poverty of second-class citizenry who strove, so hard, to be accepted by whites in America. The Black women in this show bring to the fore how desperately Black American’s have absorbed, and drank deeply from a centuries old need to be accepted by our white relatives.

Instead of accomplishments, and advance maturity around ‘things’ these women’s desperate immaturity stares into the realm that their ancestors stood outside of for centuries without the deep knowledge of the wise African women who protected us, ceremonially in the spiritual realms, during the Middle Passage, Slavery, the Reconstruction Period, Neo-Slavery, and the ravishes of rape.

Our ancestors wanted more out of life than mere survival. Because we did not, as a collective, define power the very forces that enslaved us define us. What distracts us from these things is their beauty and their wealth and their sense of entitlement. But in all fairness I am not being fair. It took a lot for Kandi Burruss to achieve what she achieved in the music business, and the depth of her character rose to the surface many times. She worked so hard to define herself, and dealt boldly with the dichotomies of her family elements. Kim Zolciak is a country belle and the epitome of the Ol’ Southern culture. Lisa Wu-Hartwell is another phenomenon.

I feel a bit out of place making assessments about these women but they made an exchange to be socialites, to be on national television bringing cameras, and millions of people into their homes.
