Just be lucky you are a man.

stop playing mindgames. you have to be blind to think Rihanna and the OP are the same complexion. rihanna is very pale. the OP is a toasty brown.


Okay, I empathize with you. However I wish you would learn to empathize with black women. Something a lot of black men have a hard time doing
For gosh sakes, take a missile sized chill pill. You've gone from psycho "woes is me" to psycho "you're all a bunch of racists!" You are much more racist against yourself than 80% of the population.

It's not like Brittney Spears hasn't been taken to task for bad weaves... or tons of other celebrities for bad and un-natural hair choices.

As to the OP? I think she is a fabulous looking girl. Is she flirting with becoming a barbie caricature? Yes. She was very attractive before blow-up boobies - personally I'm not sure why she made that choice. But it is hers to make.

Mostly your attitude determines how you will be treated in society.

When I go out in a pissy mood, generally I am treated poorly; when I go out in a good mood, generally I am treated very well.

But you're not going to get that.

There are lots of women on here.
I think we need to ask men what do they like.
The truth of the matter is,everyone wants to look good for the opposite sex.
I could have confidence,a great attitude,and think I look good,but if its not attracting the opposite sex,its not all good then.

The thing is this: there were whole studies done on the unattractiveness of black women.
That stuff hasn't happened to any other group.
What I think Nyanna is alluding to is this:
What is she supposed to do,sit back and watch every other race of women get praised while hers get attecked?
That they are supposed to just let everyone else critisizing them,telling them what to do,how to act,how to look even if it isn't in their phenotype. Every other race of women getting married and treated great while black women are supposed to be happy for them.

Sorry but I have to stop you here....

Its not about what "others" are saying about Black women...its about what she says to herself. Its about the narrative that she chooses to believe. If she thinks that she is ugly then she will confront the world with ugliness. If she believes that she is unloveable then she will be unloved. If she believes that she is not desireable then she will not be desired. If a woman knows that she is attractive then random strangers can call her ugly all day long and it does not change a thing about how she feels about herself.

Sadly, Black women who do not know (or do not understand) their worth are very susceptible to the mind games involving black women and our beauty. But there are just far too many dark skinned Black women (beautiful and otherwise) who have husbands/boyfriends/lovers who are powerful, famous, millionaires, multimillionaires, even billionaires and royalty for me to buy into this nonsense.

Just as an example, there are more Black women who are married to (and/or have acknowledged children with) European royals than any other race of women (aside from Caucasians).

Prince Maximillian of Liechtenstein and his wife Princess Angela (with their son)



The Honorable James Lascelles, 1st cousin of the Queen Elizabeth, is married to a black woman, Joy Elias-Rilwan (pic below), who is also a member of the Yoruba noble family of Elias of Lagos (and his brother Martin David Lascelles is married to a Jamaican woman Charmaine Christine Eccleston)



Prince Albert of Monaco (with Nicole Coste, the mother of his son)



Ferdinand Leopold Joseph Count von Habsburg of Austria and his wife Mary




HSH Prince Carl Alexander of Hohenzollern (and his wife Corinna Nehemie)



Christian Louis Baron de Massy of Monaco (with his wife Cecile and their children)

Whoa, Calipoppy I didn't even know that.
Wow. That really should lift her spirits.

To be fair,I think Nyanna is blamimg the wrong people.
To be quite honest,I see more black men bash black women than anyone else.

I aslo wonder what she was taught at home.
Did her parents praise light skin girls in front of her?
Did they tell her she was beautiful?

I notice OP has disappeared and certain factions are turning her hair murdering into a race issue.

It's not.

Close it down.
