How is this a white woman's world?

Maybe I don't know because I'm white, but how?

I'm not saying this because I'm white (which, incidentally, I'm NOT). I'm saying it because it's the TRUTH, and you would see that if you opened your eyes.

this is sadning, it's not a white womens world, but young black women like you make it hard for a lot of other blacks in our society by being so closed minded, i am a strong black women, i love all women, there are strong white women, and i feel as if i am up there with them, same oppurtunities, same possibilities, just work && you'll have everything you want.

go look at bandaids, bras, and the majority of beauty products. All peachy-white. Look at barbie and most dolls that you'll get.

in a 2007 study, black children preferred white dolls over black dolls because they were 'better'. White women are the beauty ideal.

there's a lot of research you can do about this. You should read some race theory.
