"A white woman can't give birth to a black child"

[marcuz]

no, Pam Grier was a standard for a pretty long damn time.

okay. although i was talking about the 90s-00, lets go with pam grier.

Ethnicity: African-American, unconfirmed Filipino, Cheyenne Native American, Hispanic, Chinese, and Puerto Rican ancestry

so does this not go back to blacks idolizing a mixed beauty standard? then we wonder why we see all this self hatred churn out in fukked up ways like nose jobs and hair weave.

Whitney Houston was a model. That is one of the reasons Clive choose her.

posting pictures before you say no she wasn't

still wasn't the ideal beauty standard in the 90s, or the 80s for that matter.

Bu...bu...bu...but were all mixed....



No, but seriously if a white woman can give birth to a black child then what is the point of a black woman? I've also noticed that a lot of biracial people overdo the whole "black" thing. They try to act extra "hood." You all know what I'm talking about. It just comes off as fake. I made a thread the other day about biracials overusing the N-word, and thats what I'm talking about. I don't even really feel comfortable around biracial people tbh. Feels like the white man's "fly on the wall."

This is some sad shyt.

It's just a difference. I can always tell when a kid has a white mom and black dad. Their hair is usually messed up. Their outlook as far as race relations is usually messed up etc. I have a white co worker married to a black guy. I've told her 50 times what to do for her little girls hair and she still treats it like Caucasian hair. She always says "we don't see color ". And I'm like. Bihh what? I feel bad for when they go out into the real world and get that nikka wake up call. Her husband should help but he's so white washed that it's a shame.

The hair bit is very ridiculous given the fact that many black women including myself just recently learned proper hair techniques. Black folks can be obsessed with taming hair that should be left alone.

But I've noticed that black people in IR are psychotic and in a less politically correct society would rightly be deemed mentally ill.

I've actually written about this phenomena. Blacks, given the power differential between the races, almost always have a racial Oedipus or Electra complex when engaging in IR.

the difference is our motivations. i want blackness to be centralized around those with two black parents. he has a white wife and biracial kid, so he HAS to believe he can create blackness from white women.

So that nikka can't just take that L? I notice black men in IR be fighting to the death to still be down with the community. He has to deal with a daily nikka wake up Call but feels safe in the hood.

fair enough, i didn't know that. i just know halle berrys biracial ass trumped all others in the 90s. she was most praised by black men and white men. halle berry had black women strying to mimic her look. also, as another poster pointed out. even when they promote black women, they make sure they have a eurocentric look.

so i stand by what i originally said. the beauty of standard for black women has been warped into mixed and biracial women for a long time now.

True but a lot people didn't even know Halle was mixed either. Halle is more on the "black" looking spectrum as far as looks go.

Especially before that nose job.

I guess you're gonna just ignore the fact how Tyra Banks and Kenya Moore were killing shyt in the 90s and 2000s

Holy shyt. Did you really just type that?

Yep.

are you just flat out denying the overall beauty standard for black women hasn't been co-opted by mixed and biracial women?

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

yes they can

if one of her great great great great grandparents were black and she makes a kid with a biracial, good chance the kid can come out looking black.

genetics is funny like that it doesn't work the way you want it to work all the time

janet jackson and whitney houston were not hollywood beauty standards. black men clowned janet when she looked black, and clowned her when started looking too much like mike. and people adored houston for her singing, not her beauty.
