this is why I'll never be pretty or beautiful (darker, African, complexions)

My God it is so hard.

I want to know what Nyanna looks like. It can't be that bad to keep making threads about lighter skin

[kitgirl11]

serena williams actually can be pretty not on thecourt but she's not bad. Anyhow not all black look the same.

Well this one is her acting like someone is against her, once again.

I took I different approach. I just decided I was pretty....no matter what other people think.

Way easier this way.

Kerry's complexion is all brown lol@ her looking half. "Arab".

Btw I'm black and I'm pretty ( but my eyes are light brown...oops I guess I'm not black enough!!)

It wasn't one person saying what a beautiful woman she saw on the street in Boston.

So, yes, you are supposed to shut up and be quiet about it. She was not being racist nor was she saying anything against you personally. She was voicing her opinion of this woman she saw on the street.

Is this what you do at work? Or did you not make it out because of your oppression?

. The poster may not realize it but she was being very racist. She couldn't name not one fully black woman she saw in Boston that was beautiful? I guess they were all forgettable in her eyes. She only seems to remember the biracial one with the long blonde hair.

doesn't matter if they were fully black or not. the black girls with round flat noses are never held as the standard of beauty. when everyone lists what black women they find attractive they always have lightskin, narrow nose, light eyes, etc. the rest of us who don't look like that are just invisible
