I'm an island girl .
Knife girl, cutlass queens, crazy
I say this in the way that island girls are born and raised. I am raised not born but I am an island girl.
There are many types of island girl, at least constructed in the fantasies of others, but that whiff of the exotic that whiff of the other it hangs around. Not exotic to be worshipped or interesting, but enough to be new, that hot sweat
And we pay for it
So believe you me I know what is going on when they say Rihanna is an " islandgirl", when talking about her assault
It's that special je ne sais quoi you know?
It's that thing where we're hotter spicier feistier than girls "you" are used to , or if you are on of us it's that you don't understand what it takes to handle an island woman
*wink * wink* SMILE
We're sweeter and sensual , prettier, exotic looking, bigger , dramatic, wilder and jealous and it's so WILD
until
that's not what you want, or you're done with it.
I watch the reporting on this with a sense of dread because as usual everybody get's it wrong, wants to tell us about how everybody else got it wrong , there are multiple inside sources, and the person at the center of it isn't talking and people like her who might be talking aren't getting heard.
And of course this is about sex so let's all fill in the details the locker room tales, the mean backbiting behind hands, the girlish gossip , of what those island girls are like .
You see while the average "blame the victim" bullshit has cropped up fine and free, she may have set him off WAIT we don't know.
This time it has that special flavor, that only comes from the isles.
You see that spicy flavor that is really great when you're fanatasizing about fucking us with the smell of coconuts and claw marks and perhaps hibiscus flowers tucked sweetly behind our ears.
also works when you're just fucking us.
One of my original sex in the Amazon pieces pointed to the college party phenomn of adopting "ethnic"identies to fuel their libidos and get "loose" because you cna take on and off this "liscense to have sex"
We don't get to.
An island girl who "starts a fight" deserves it. They got that temper that wild side. An island girl that has that body that size them strong legs, shouldn't get beat by no twig. An island girl with that look that walk, has no right to be angry if her man isn't true, she isn't either or if she is she can jsut pick up a new one..
She's an island girl right?
Island girls are born/and raised. We know everyday the consequences of acting like a lady or not , because even the lightest most demure perfect of us is always an island girl.
We're form that place where one last name means we're all connected to the same traveling rapist, where living or dying feeding your kids or not depends on whether or not a man is interested. We got that slave stock , those big legs , strong frames because we are the ones who made it through the heat.
And we know it we joke about it.
One of teh first conversations I Had about this was witha dear friend who said
" Ain't no way that's Rihanna . She's an island girl. If it's her she got her licks in"
And I laughed half happy half sad . Because it's true.
Because we don't take it lying down, because we don't learn to have the feminine wiles of scheming that you grant women, we island girls. Because you have to answer, because while this is the gospel truth.
We islnand girls get that special flavor.
That it's hot and exciting and spicy and fun.
Because when part of your very fiber is invested in how you keep a man , of what little woman hood you are granted is invested in making this man your own, that you respect is the difference between the yard and the bighouse .
That we had to be hypnotizing, or using the island hoodo to even have a man and thus it's inevitable that if anything happens to us, it's part of the flavor
That it's completely acceptable to us that we would have to fight through life and even love
and no one cares about the island girl but about what it means for everybody else.
But island girls don't actually get to talk bout this.
We just pay for it

it's hard to read stories on this, when it's a given that the comments will bring up so much of this. the excuses, the reasons, the bullshit, the blame.
it's all fucking flipped...she didn't *make* him do a damn thing.
but you're right. when you have all these images in the air...bullshit follows bullshit. the worst river we've ever swum in....
amazing. thank you.
It's been hard to see the coverage and figure out how to respond from a place that isn't personal because well it is personal.
The reasoning away of the why and the how as if any reason gives a man a right to put his hands on a woman.
Island girls from Puerto Rico get the same raw deal. If only I hadn't been so loud etc etc etc I wouldn't have gotten thrown to the ground and bruised and if only I would get over it.
aint it alwyas taht baby we always worng for beingin our damn skin tahts why tehy can hurt it you know.
