The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice! I want this framed on my wall.
There has been a lot of talk lately about the various reasons that Black women are the least attractive women on the planet, thanks to a racist article that was written by Dr. Satoshi Kanazawa and published by Psychology Today.
She knows she’s beautiful, and so do you!
Throughout history Black women have always tried to live up to the White mans’ standard of beauty because we have been programmed to do so, thanks to the images we are fed by the media. Many Black women want to “bleach” their skin, wear their hair long, straight, and blonde or get their noses slimmed down in an effort to become something they already are naturally; beautiful.
Look at that bone structure!
What’s strange is that White women want to look like us and White men want women that look like us, that is, if they’re not already with one of us! White women tan and line up at the plastic surgeon’s office to get bigger lips and asses because the White man thinks it’s OK now.
Flawless skin and hair!
I’m here to tell you that as a Black women, I have never had an issue with my hair, skin, nose, big ass, or anything else that identifies me as a Black women of African descent.
Even when it’s all over the place, our hair is beautiful! C’mon, who else can rock this?
I have worn my hair at various lengths, I have worn my hair natural, permed, and jheri curled, I have worn wigs, and I have dyed my hair every shade of red imaginable. I did try blonde once, but died it black the same day because blonde just wasn’t my color (more of you need to realize this), years later I tried blonde streaks…that turned out to be a better look for me.
Please, keep the chemicals out of your child’s hair. Be happy to be nappy!
Hell, I even date White guys, but that damn sure has nothing to do with me not being aware of my heritage or not having pride in my heritage, nor does it mean that I want to be White. I love my chocolate skin and coarse hair. Never have I once wished I could look like a White woman, so those messages and ideologies that are being pimped in the media that are getting to some of you, have not worked on me. I was raised to love myself, and I was raised to express myself freely; that’s why today you have DANGEROUS LEE!

What do you mean by type 4 hair?
What’s this?! Someone actually published a treatise on Black women being the least attractive? I could hardly believe my eyes. My mind is still reeling.
As the White Canadian mother of an absolutely gorgeous African American daughter, I just can”t believe that this person has been anywhere near a Black woman before coming to such a conclusion!
My daughter’s skin is the most beautiful I have ever seen. It is rich and dark (not seen as positive by the AA nurses or her AA Birth Mom when born, however) and carries a multi-dimensional depth to it, Caucasian skin is no match. It looks and feels like velvet. Same with her eyes – her beautiful, dark, deep eyes that can flash from soft to angry in a second.
My favourite is that some days she looks very African, some days Asian even, some days, Middle Eastern, some days even Western White – I have come to think that her race may very well be the epitome, or completion of all the races put together. The ultimate race that includes all others.
And physically – no other child can compare. Tall, straight, long legged and muscular, graceful and and athletic, at 4 years old, she resembles a goddess in the making. Her hair – type 4, but soft, and beautiful texture. I love the versatility of it, and how doing it in different styles can drastically change the way she looks.
Her mind – deep, sensitive, aware and brilliant!
Complete beauty!
