You're assuming I don't talk to black women??? That's funny.
I never said it wasn't real, I'm saying you applying it to the majority of them is bull shit.

Really? Why is it bullshit?
So if I say the American narrative is to look at black men as violent and unintelligent and Asians as meek and compliant am I wrong even though I don't know everyone?
Living in a country where European features are the litmus for beauty you think it won't effect those who aren't born with straight hair or lighter skin. Then explain why hair extensions as well as straigstraightening is a billion dollar industry
Who do you think is consuming it most?
 
I think that everyone is impacted by these society-wide images, including those who reject them, because you have to make a conscious effort to turn away from them. It's just a matter of what you do to resist those images and indoctrination.

Women buy hair extensions for a number of reason. To say that the majority do it bc they feel substandard is crazy. I can name a number of WW that own hairstraiteners while the BW rock the natural look. (present day). If anything, BW are overly confident. Get out of the house into the real world and stop reading your so called statistics.

Yep...women in general spend big money on their hair...cut...color...highlights...lowlights...glaze...hair extensions...hair accessories...I just spent $170.00 last week on my hair...I own 3 flat irons, 2 blow dryers...a special diffusing blow dryer ( no not the attachment ) plethora of hair accessories and products

I know a lot of very successful confident BW...and the young ones blow me away with their ambition

Either you're. ....
Never mind it's all in my head. Black women suffer no backlash from not growing in a world where they aren't the standard of beauty. You and Lippy know some confident black women so it's all good.

When we can still list the top female actresses of color on one hand not by much.
It's like saying the face of politics has changed because we have Obama and Elizabeth Warren. Yeah a little but not really.
 
I'm not sure that the standard of beauty is really changing. For the most part, non-white beauty is still treated as "exotic" and otherworldly, with whiteness as the general standard unless told otherwise. The acceptance of different looks is the exception, not the rule. While I know that the industry will say it is focusing on the largest demographic group, media does have enormous (albeit not absolute) power to shape how people think.

I know it's not exactly germane to the thread, but speaking of non-white standards of beauty, apparently the male lead from the Twilight series is now dating a non-white woman and his "fans" are neither appreciative of her non-white beauty nor pleased with his choice: http://www.vanityfair.com/vf-hollywood/2014/09/fka-twigs-robert-pattinson-twitter-trolls?utm_source=zergnet.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=zergnet_278906&mbid=synd_zergnet

Nope it's an even playing field and feeling any differently means you have inferiority complex :roll:

It's far from even, but you can take steps to reject majority culture and develop a parallel reality that isn't so hostile to your own psyche and development.

I totally agree just hate this denial of what's there. It's the same bs I can't stand when people try to tell me if I didn't focus on race so much I wouldn't see racism. It's like telling me as long as I don't look up I won't see cloudy skies even though I can feel the damn rain

No doubt

Some people believe we shouldn't have to pay taxes given that slaves were never paid reparations

Everyone else was...the natives...the japanese...the Jews

The blacks? We got to look forward to pulling ourselves up by the bootstraps while being chased out of our homes by the klan

Sounds legit

It will never be even when they're out numbered. But I refuse to agree that the "majority" of BM have these low self esteem/inferior type issues. Get out and see the world TDK!

Hold on so are you telling me addressing the very clear and obvious ways that bm are treated differently is copping to feeling inferior and/or having low self esteem. So if a woman says that women are unfairly treated in the work place or fear being abducted and raped they are acting inferior?
Stizzy I'm out in the world homie sorry it doesn't fit your personal world view.
