I find that a lot of people say that black women are capable of being pretty, but their beauty will never surpass that of a white women. Why is that? I know that some people just aren't attracted to certain people, and that's fine, but to come to a bold conclusion like that... It confuses me.

And for those who say a black women can surpass a white women, to what extent could we? Surpass them to the point that you would choose us sexually, romantically,... to marry?

Disclaimer: I made this topic out of pure curiosity.....and also because I never really heard the topic brought up before. I don't mean to pin black and white women and against each other into this imaginary rivalry. I want people's honest opinions on the subject and that's all. =]

When I watch Modeling shows a lot of the black woman are prettier than some of the white woman. Beauty isn't limited by race. Either you are born pretty or you're not.

I agree

The problem is when people who don't even know the difference between what features someone mixed has, they say that the only reason why they are pretty is because they have white in them. Take Mariah Carey for example or Beyonce. People like to say " She's only pretty because she's part white".

Not everyone knows how to pin point characteristics like you do Rune. People are just ignorant and as soon as they find out someones part something it's " Oh he's only talented because he's part Hispanic" or some crap.


 
Anyone that knows the basics about human Anthropology should know the difference between each race. They should know who has what features. So Even if someone is mixed, it isn't hard to tell where they got there features from.

It's not that simple. When you are mixed your features also mixed. And even so, whose to say that the only reason why they are pretty is because of that race? Are the people saying that saying that the other race is just holding them back?? I still find that to be shady and ignorant.


there are certain features that many cultures find to be ideal and attractive. i.e lighter skin, high cheek bones, slim noses. which are genetic to caucasians, and with the cheek bones, many native americans.

when people say it's because of so and so race, it's because the specific race gives them that specific feature.

don't be ignorant please.

I've never seen a good looking African without any European in them.
i thought most blk girls in the US were mixed with european though? even if it is just a little

They are, estimates are from 80-90% of them have some amount of European ancestry.

holy hell, thats a lot. LOL they dont even know it tho probly


Ur right, I didn't know I was until recently, though I had already guessed I wasn't just "black"- i just didn't know what exactly my family was mixed with- i still don't really.

Also, we don't really tell people because if we walked around saying "I'm black and white", at least one of the following would probably happen:

1. People would probably think you're saying you have one black parent and one white parent.

2. People would think you're lying because lots of people don't realize the fact that kidd rune gave you- there aren't very many black people that are just "black"

3. Racists of other races and people of our own race as well would think we're trying to deny or distance ourselves from our culture or even say that "black" is inferior to whatever it is we're saying we're mixed with. Really what we're doing is embracing ALL PARTS of our heritage.

It's quite annoying.

People usually say shit like that cause they dont find black woman attractive and are surprised if they see an attractive dark skinned woman  

personally I fucks it all


Basically.  

Black women are some of the sexiest women on earth to me. That being said, I'd tap some white girl booty outside the NAACP headquaters, and I DARE somebody to say something. Like springs: I gives not a fuck. As long as a woman is attractive and can bring something to the table, I can be down with her.

people just have their opinions and preferences

in fact, I believe the pretty much same thing, only in the opposite way; I don't think I'll ever find a white girl that can match the beauty I see in some black women.  They just seem... generic to me, I guess you could say

I'd call it a personal preference. One that you obviously don't share.
I don't think having a preference in women is bad at all.

I'm sorry that other people don't like Black women and Negroid features as much as you do.

No Kidd Rune. That's not the problem.

Not to take away from your point, because I agree wholeheartedly, but Beyonce isn't half white, lol.

I find the whole cap on black beauty to be retarded, especially when people make blanketed statements about how there are no attractive black women without European ancestry. Well for one, about all blacks that are descendants of slaves or a new world colony are mixed with European ancestry, so that's a cap on it. What makes it worst is that black people buy into it, and further push this idea that a black woman is only beautiful if she's as close to the european ideal as possible.  

But then again, this isn't just a black thing, this is present within all non-white societies (particularly Southern Asian and Hispanics/Latino cultures)


Exactly. Kidd Rune would argue though. As long as the idea goes in his races favor he has not problem with it. I wonder if he would be the same if the tables were turned.
