Pages: 1 2 3 4 5  Next -- Posted by Moonscar at 6:04 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 Ok so there are a lot of white girls that can be pretty. though I am sick and tired of everyone saying they are the prettiest. I mean on top of that they say black Women are ugly! I am sorry but I have seen a lot of African Women that can blow some white girls out of the water....... Even fellow black men are like " Nah I want me a white woman!". I guess this is just preference but even the media and movies puts it in your head that white woman "define" beauty. On another note, the media and what you see on TV practices a lot of "Pro white things" like in movies the Black man would most of the time always die and the way the media makes it like it's typical for black people to be doing crime. It makes black children have low self esteem because of what influences them on TV like this video shows.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybDa0gSuAcg -- Posted by taraxgoesxboom at 6:06 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 There are pretty people from every race and there are ugly people from every race. There shouldn't be some big controversy over it. -- Posted by MixedDelight at 6:06 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 The media controls our minds. This is why I'm getting a job in the media -- Posted by MystiqueBeauty16 at 6:06 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 I don't judge beauty on skin color, I judge it by how they look, how they present themselves, and their personality combined. -- Posted by Bearsy at 6:06 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 There is no way to describe pretty people by matter of coloration/gender/features/anything, pretty people just are. -- Posted by motherfxcker at 6:06 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 idk what you're smokin but black folks and white folks typically stick to their own race. -- Posted by Deviant at 6:06 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 I agree with you to SOME extent. I do find that in a lot of movies, a lot of 'criminals' are black and gangster-like. It does piss me off. -- Posted by whoisabs at 6:06 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 quit trolling because we all know there are tons of bullshit about 'black is beautiful' and other attempts to trick blacks into thinking they are someone more beautiful than anyone else -- Posted by Lahanalove at 6:08 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 I think people need to just get over races. If you live in America you're American. I'm tired of everyone comparing races that they're so different. -- Posted by Juicy Juicy Couture at 6:09 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 Quote: from taraxgoesxboom at 6:06 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 There are pretty people from every race and there are ugly people from every race.

The point of this topic wasn't to say someone is beautiful based on your skin color. The point is that you don't have to be white to be beautiful. My preferences are the exotic black look but I like Caucasian beauty at times too. -- Posted by whoisabs at 6:31 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 The majority of beauty on the television is a reflection of the population breakdown of the country, that blacks are only about 12% of the population. -- Posted by Moonscar at 6:33 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 Quote: from whoisabs at 6:31 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 The majority of beauty on the television is a reflection of the population breakdown of the country, that blacks are only about 12% of the population. Well it's really a messed up system to go by. It also makes minorities feel......well more of an outcast. -- Posted by dumb whore at 6:51 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 "In California, groups of all ethnicities have vied to transform themselves into a Caucasian standard of beauty. Jewish women undergo rhinoplasty, or "nose jobs," and African Americans have undergone the same, along with lip reductions and skin lightening." http://www.womensenews.org/article.cfm/dyn/aid/1950/context/archive well i did a paper on asian blepharoplasty recently. that was just an interesting bit from one of my sources. are you just talking about television or the idea that white (with blonde hair/blue eyes etc.) = beautiful? -- Posted by Moonscar at 6:53 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 Quote: from KoopaTroopa at 6:51 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 "In California, groups of all ethnicities have vied to transform themselves into a Caucasian standard of beauty.

That's a shame. I find big lips more delicious than then along with dark skin Sorry if that sounded perverted........ -- Posted by kidd rune at 8:02 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 Stop with this bullshit!

Exactly so the Media and magazines needs to stop putting Caucasian beauty in peoples heads all the time. -- Posted by kidd rune at 9:22 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 Exactly so the Media and magazines needs to stop putting Caucasian beauty in peoples heads all the time. They don't - simply put. It's culturally in their heads (Or they just find them more attractive). In experiments in which Black children have been left to themselves with White and Black dolls, it has been found tha most of the them would rather play with White dolls. This is true all over the world. Even in such places as Tobago. -- Posted by Moonscar at 9:44 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 Quote: from kidd rune at 9:22 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 Exactly so the Media and magazines needs to stop putting Caucasian beauty in peoples heads all the time.

What we see makes us believe these things and what people put in magazines make people think white is god/goddess like..... -- Posted by kidd rune at 10:36 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 Exactly, because everyone is brainwashed into thinking white is best! What we see makes us believe these things and what people put in magazines make people think white is god/goddess like..... Tobago has White Supremacist magazines? What about historically? The January 1986 issue of the journal of Ethnic and Racial Studies, "Skin Color Preference, Sexual Dimorphism and Sexual Selection: a case of Gene-Culture Co-evolution?" by Peter Frost and Pierre Van der Herghe, stated that in any given race, the women tend to have lighter complexions than the men. Using standard ethnographic files from 51 societies on five continents which have recorded their preference for human skin color, the study found that 30 preferred lighter women and 14 preferred lighter women and lighter men. The cultures of India, China, Brazil and Bali, as well as the Arabs and Negroes regard the lightest women as the most beautiful. --perpetuating the aesthetic appeal of the ivory-skinned, rosy-cheeked, blue-eyed, blond "Nordic ideal" of feminine beauty- -even though they themselves do not possess the genetic capacity to reproduce such an organism. Over time, the study said, the upper classes of all races have become lighter-skinned than their fellow countrymen because they have repeatedly skimmed off fairer women from the lower classes. -- Posted by Moonscar at 10:45 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 Quote: from kidd rune at 10:36 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 Exactly, because everyone is brainwashed into thinking white is best!

Wow, well that's not how it is unfortunately. There are a lo of people who wouldn't dare have those features because they are happy with their own.
