Star Jones, previous host associated with the see, had lunch with Beverly Bond, DJ and founder of Ebony Girls Rock!, about “the picture of women of shade within the media.”
After the meal, she published these tweets:
It might be "comfortable" is peaceful when women of color slap the crap out-of one another & find tables barefoot, but #ENOUGHisENOUGH.

Laying with a guy that has fathered kiddies with FIVE, SIX, SEVEN other women…is simply RIDICULOUS. #ENOUGHisENOUGH

After that we now have songs filled up with misogyny, self-hate & WOMEN calling THEMSELVES Bs & Hs & white rappers are using the N word. #ENOUGHisENOUGH

We came ultimately back from lunch w/ @BEVERLYBOND prepared to only work up because small black colored girls deserve a lot more than exactly what we're providing! #ENOUGHisENOUGH

I'm asking all my much talked about, system having conscientious siblings just who ARE A SYMBOL OF SOMETHING to simply say #ENOUGHisENOUGH & telephone call people away!

Ms. Jones’ tweets echo Bill Cosby’s famous “Pound Cake” speech into NAACP in 2004, calling for blacks to keep themselves and kids accountable for their actions. It’s refreshing to know any celebrity talk these types of good sense (but unfortunate that it’s so newsworthy and remarkable).
Personal responsibility and stability tend to be targets we have to all strive for, and kudos to Jones for distributing such an important message.
