DV's definition of a sista consists ONLY with women of mixed racial heritage, straight hair and lighter than a paper bag.DV on some ol' 1900 Alpha Phi Alpha ish.
DV is profoundly intimidated by dark women. At least throw the dark-skinned sistas a bone sometimes, DV.
LOL. Yeah Aight Cuz. I told you before just because a woman doesn't look like Joe Frazier ... don't mean she aint black.It's always you big buck ballhead Negros with a bone in your nose playing Race Cop while secretly yearning for white women like crackheads yearning for crack rock.

You miss the point yet again.The people here do not "believe" things that do not exist. They FEEL things that only those with soul can experience.
Words are mere symbols. They are, by their very nature, inadequate to convey the EXPERIENCE of soul. But for those who have no soul and are incapable, symbols are all you have, which is why you desperately beg for a definition of the undefinable. It is a pity.
That medical education stripped you of your humanity. Reduced the human body to a series of cohort studies and patients to subjects. It is no wonder that you, and anyone else with such a limited, materialistic approach to the world, would have a hard time experiencing a sista.
Just because you are incapable of EXPERIENCING soul, doesn't mean it is not possible.

I don't know if Sopia Lauren is a "Sista" - but she IS juicy.
She's Italian, right? DV, what makes her a "Sista"? Please explain. Thanks

Dv speak is this true?

Is this true?
Yes!
Ab so lutely 100% correct.
A "sista" can ONLY be of "mixed racial heritage, straight hair and lighter than a paper bag."
Yes.
100% true.
That is exactly what I feel.
That is exactly what I have stated on this blog time and time again.
Yes.
True.
A dark skinned woman can never truly be a sista.
Actually, even I know MOTI deep down never meant that (right?).
Why don't you just write out your definition. It's only your opinion. People want to know what you are thinking without having to assume.
Here, I'll start you off
A "sista" is defined as...
Y'all need to step outside the narrow confines of 1+1 and experience some God for a moment.
How do you define soul?
All of you are struggling desperately for a definition of sista - because you are insecure about the choices you have made or who you are - instead of FEELING the point. A sista is a woman with that soul in her eyes. That certain something that defies definition.
No true sista could be reduced to mere words.
Intellectual Insurgent is truth!
The automatic impulse to turn into race cops suffering the negative effects of the one-drop law skews one's sense of recognition and appreciation for she who has game and heart.
DMG,
If brotha/sista speak is a "new and meaningless term" why wld you want to know what DV or anyone's definition of a sista is? Could you rather tell us how this term comes to be "new and meaningless", against that which is supposedly old and meaningful like "men and women" which you prefer to speak of.
"A sista is a woman with that soul in her eyes. That certain something that defies definition."
No definition so Elin Woods is a Sista. Because "I" DO see the "soul" in her eyes. LOL
"No true sista could be reduced to mere words."
Then anyone and everyone is a true "sista". You cannot define the word. It's something you make up on the fly. So why bother using it?
KonWomyn,
"If brotha/sista speak is a "new and meaningless term" why wld you want to know what DV or anyone's definition of a sista is?"
That's my point exactly. He cannot define that meaningless term. That's why he threw up a picture. Now if we could get him to quit saying who is NOT a "sista", there might be progress.
Elin Nordegren is an individual. How is someone supposed to define this woman by the "look in her eye"? And how is "sista" status meaningful to anyone outside of people who claim it? It's not. It's a meaningless term.
DMG
"We" - no, you. You don't believe that "sista" has any meaning, whereas others on this thread seem to believe it does. They have different opinions of what a sista is to DV's pictorial definitions. Hence the opposition; your anti-sista position is quite different.
DV aside, why is the term "new and meaningless" to you, DMG? And what makes woman "old and meaningful"?
KonWomyn,
People on this blog believe in alot of things that don't exist.
If others believe it has meaning, let them define the term. And when they can't...?
I don't recall seeing this deliberate misspelling with the attachment of meaning that you are putting forth here, prior to the last few years. I read alot.
KonWomyn, you are a smart woman, let's not front and act like those two words have any deeper meaning other than what you arbitrarily assign them. If the term varies so much that there's no consensus then it's meaningless.
If you want to use them, fine. But without definition, quit trying to use them in debates.
People on this blog believe in alot of things that don't exist.
You miss the point yet again.
The people here do not "believe" things that do not exist. They FEEL things that only those with soul can experience.
Words are mere symbols. They are, by their very nature, inadequate to convey the EXPERIENCE of soul. But for those who have no soul and are incapable, symbols are all you have, which is why you desperately beg for a definition of the undefinable. It is a pity.

The only thing I'm missing right now is dinner, while waiting for some results.
"Soul" another one of those things with a fluid definition. Yours is no more valid than mine. Therefore I'm not missing a point.
And shut up about what "medical education" has done. Alright, you guys sound like a bunch of one dimensional morons when you talk about things you don't understand. Reading about sclerosing cholangitis does not negate years of experiencing the world. Give it a rest. Counselor.
I don't stay at work for 15 hours a day because I'm devoid of humanity. I don't spend my vacation calling in to the ICU to make sure a patients mother remembers to eat because I have no feelings.
Remember, you DON'T know me...back up off me with your false piety, sweetie.
DMG
I didn't ask what people "believed" I said prove to me why you think something is meaningless. If you believe they can't define the term does it then render it meaningless or a word whose meaning is inarticulable? Yet still these people have a strong sense of what they are talking about.
Whereas you base your definition of "sista" as meaningless. What does this mean by your definition?
The 'deliberate misspelling' - lol! You mean its urban slang variation from the standard English Sister? Is that reason to deny the different meaning it has to the standard English? Really now. If you read alot then articulate what you have read that makes you dimiss the term.
"If the term varies so much that there's no consensus then it's meaningless."
No actually if the term varies so much in meaning it means there is consensus on the plurality of meaning.
Again Doc, everyday discourse is very different from the quest for absolutism within the medical sciences. It requires a radically different and complex form of psychological engagement - that of lived experience.
a woman becomes a "sista" when she has the proper amount of "man" in her life....
dx,
Chauvanistic, but at least you offered your opinion of the definition.
KW,
Don't assume you know how I think, and what I know, or how much life I've lived. This is blog interaction, kindly to get things twisted. Medicine is my job. Now that we are passed that.
The term "sista" will have almost as many definitions as you have people. Don't believe me. Go out and do a survey. Film it and send it to me. The word is therefore functionally meaningless.
The burden of proof of a made up word is on YOU, not me. I asked for the definition. You all haven't proved or submitted anything worthwhile. I'm waiting.
Nah DMG I'm the one waiting for you to answer my kwestins:
Why is sista a "meaningless" term?
Why does a plurality of meaning render a word meaningless?
Why should "woman" be used as the "meaningful" term?
How does "woman" acquire "meaningful"?
What if the definitions of the word "woman" are as many as there are people in the world. Does it then become an antiquated "meaningless" word?
Please answer hommz.
"a woman becomes a "sista" when she has the proper amount of "brotha" in her life....
a seed planted in the ground and with the proper amount of water, sunshine, love and care grows into a beautiful plant that blossoms....
its interesting you find that chauvinistic....
TELLING!!
DMG
I'd be curious as to your answer to KW's krwustions
a woman becomes a "sista" when she has the proper amount of "man" in her life....
DX is truth! Accept no substitutes.
KW,
It's not plurality of meaning. You've not defined the term other than some meaningless fluff. And it's your term, like I said the burden of proof is on you. Not me.
If you prefer to be misunderstood continue using a word that you cannot (and have not) defined. I say the word is meaningless. Like it or not, until you define "sista", your opinion is no more valid than mine.
DMG,
You playing yourself. First you complain and say there's so many different many meanings for sista as there are pple, therefore it's meaniningless.
Now you say there's no plurality of meaning therefore, only "meaningless fluff".
Mmmm, man nah know what he means. Does this warrant a score? Mmmm.
Then I asked you why we should use 'woman', what does this term mean and how is it "meaningful" - all quiet on the medical front.
You've not defined woman, whereas I've said that everyone has their different definitions some in opposition others in agreement but there is a general understanding of what a sista is.
IWAIW complained to DV abt it.
You didn't geddit.
II said it.
You didn't geddit.
dx said it.
You didn't geddit.
KW told you some things are inarticulable but defined by experience giving them meaning not rendering them meaningless.
You didn't geddit.
Headsup: I see some zeros heading your way, betta start articulating that 'meaningful' definition of woman and what 'meaningless really means.
KW....and y'all
DMG D.O.N.T. want to get it!!!!
KonWomyn,
Yes, well now I guess I'm "told off".
"Now you say there's no plurality of meaning therefore, only "meaningless fluff"."
Actually I said, "YOU'VE not defined the term other than some meaningless fluff". In other words, you having done YOUR job.
About the woman thing. Perhaps I missed your post. Or maybe my eyes glazed over at your spelling of question...who knows. Didn't seem important at the time. There is some consensus about the term, and when used in normal conversation it has a meaning that the majority of English speakers will recognize and understand without having a 4 day long blog war complete with pictures of 70's art, and former politicians. How's that?
How about this. How about you open a dictionary to woman, and then try to find sista. Of course these are "plantation" dictionary's so you may not be satisfied. Perhaps you all should use a non-plantation language...one that does not have Germanic roots, rather than modifiying this imperfect language.
KonWomyn, self appointed "referee". Never scored a point, but thinks she can take someone down with half-assed "analysis".
My dear, put your shoes back on. There's no need for you to do anymore counting. Not one of you has scored point one on me.
