Tyra Banks or Rashida Jones?

[AquaCityBoy]

Some of you nikkas need to shut the fukk up with this faux "Black pride, you're whitewashed if you like a light skinned girl over a dark one" BS because you were the same nikkas on SOHH talking bout "PAWG this, PAWG that."

Different board, same shyt. You ain't foolin nobody.

@Greatestlaker

I don't get what you're trying to say here. Nobody is saying that every half black person looks more black than they do white(but it is definitely far more common than the other way around ESPECIALLY if one of their parents is 100% black and not mixed).

That's because of the one drop rule. Again it comes down to perception. Most bi-racial people look like a mixture of both races, but since you have to be 100% white to be considered white and have any percentage of black ancestry to be considered black. What a black person looks like is diluted. So that's why people think that biracials look more black.

You google it cracker, you're the one who claimed to have proof. Obviously you already have and couldn't come up with anything to back up what you're saying. Your thought process is simple, and that "Black genes aren't dominant because Halle Berry doesn't look like a sub-Saharan African" argument is just dumb. As if the people of the African continent have 1 look and aren't extremely diverse. Yes even sub-Saharan Africans are diverse in appearance. "Sub-Saharan Africa" there you go using terms that whites have invented to separate people for their own agenda again. You talk out of both sides of your mouth. I'm beginning to think that you're white.

I'm a half cracker.

Pretty shocked and disappointed at the poll numbers. Even with light-skinned priviledge, I would have thought that even Sohh-refugees would side with Tyra here (Shames me to use this term, but I've been forced to).

Tyra is a forum top model. Perfect body, beautiful facial features and skin tone...actually eludes sexiness in a way that the best women do. Her p*ssy would sit on a mantle in my home.

Rashida is just a typical self-hating half-breed who "Loves Jewish Guys" that wouldn't even be in the entertainment industry if not for her father being a top producer. She's cute in a "friend" sort of way, doesn't really come off as sexy, just has a sort of dorky appeal. I don't hate her but she is clearly white-orientated and when she talks about race she usually comes with a bunch of excuses. She's another Zoe Saldana (Except that Saldana is actually black and can't run from it regardless of how much she tries to market herself as some sort of mestizo).

Hate to be so passionate about this but people kill me with this shyt...skin tone completely wiping out any and all aspects of actually being a sexy woman, it's crazy y'all. I hate to get on that "we imprisoned in the mind" over something as petty as too celebrities shyt but I can't comprehend this.

Rosario Dawson is another one that isn't cute at all, but since she can pass as biracial or hispanic or whatever, it's like "white magic" takes over and we are all supposed to pretend that she is gorgeous or something. At least she has a nice body though, can't deny that. But her jawline is straight outta a superman comic brehs.

This topic is why I chose the signature I did. Y'all will run around complaining about racism and whites this and white that but when it comes down to it most black Americans have such shytty, surrender based, anti-intellectual attitude that they end up supporting the same shyt they fight against. Don't let me hear y'all bytching the next time some newsanchor calls blacks ugly or nappy or whatever the fukk. Don't bytch about black makes being COMPLETELY de-sexualized in film and television. You wanted it. You enjoy it.

STOP.

Just because somebody said they find Rashida Jones more attractive, now all of a sudden black people shouldn't complain about being called ugly or being de-sexualized in movies?

And you talk about how Rashida has a "dorky" appeal. Did it ever occur to any of you nikkas that some dudes PREFER that over a supermodel? If it was a dark skinned actress that was cute and had that same type of appeal (or if Rashida herself were dark skinned), what would you say to that? Never mind the fact that people may not be voting strictly on looks, like the posts how Tyra Banks is a dumb bytch.

This thread is getting beyond ridiculous now. It's not that fukking serious.

Regarding this mini-gene debate.

There is phenotype and genotype. Phenotype is how the genes actually manifest themselves. Genotype is the make-up of cells. Genotypes lead to phenotypes but there are combinations of "dominant" and "recessive" genes. This doesn't mean JACK shyt in regards to any inferiority or superiority of any race and people that believe it does are placing some sort of qualitative aspect on top of something that is completely quantitative.

Blue/green/grey eyes, and I believe blonde and red hair are certainly recessive traits, and blacks don't tend to have them. If a white person mates with a black person, barring a statistical anomaly, the eyes and hair are going to favor the black parents. Other traits I have no clue. Certain phenotypes are a combination of several genetic combinations, I believe that skin tone is one of them.

Keep in mind that most if not all black Americans carry recessive genes in our genotype...due to crackers raping during slavery. Our phenotype is typically stereotypically black but we carry those white genes.

Even if every "black trait" was dominant doesn't mean we still wouldn't have examples like greatestcracker posted......assuming that the black parents also carried the recessive genes in their genotype, than it's simply a matter of chance that some biracial children are going to come out with colored eyes, light hair, etc.

fukking Jennifer Beals isn't an example of certain traits NOT being dominant. Assuming that one of her parents is a "full" black, it's only an example of that parents carrying recessive genes. His recessive genes just happened to hook up with her CAC parent's recessive genes, and she came out with a certain phenotype. But like I said, for all I know, he dad could look like fukking Blake Griffin or some shyt. In which case the chance of recessive linking is higher.

Rashida don't look better then Tyra. It ain't actually close

But I don't understand how if someone thinks She looks better, that makes him/her white washed

Like the nikka just CANT think Rashida is more attractive cause... I don't know.. he thinks she looks better.

People just can't fathom when someone thinks different then them, so they come up with excuses

 

[Grams]

It's crazy how a thread on which celebrity looks better can turn into this...but maybe that's just me

That don't make any sense to me either.

You either a c00n or a cracker when you got a different opinion from them.

That explains a little. Hey, if you want to be called mixed instead of black then that's fine. Just know that you'll never be able to call yourself white because they won't accept you and if/when you ever get in trouble with the establishment then they'll treat you as just another ******, even if you're as light as Halle Berry.

Kerry Washington>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Naomi Campbell

I like Kerry and all but Naomi is in the runnin for baddest bytch of all-time

this isn't even a comparison

 

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

i like how everyone in this thread is trying to quantify beauty as if it's something to be measured. people are like "she has more white washed features" and "tyra's breasts are bigger so she's better". i'm seriously wondering is wrong some of you. do you just enjoy bickering over pointless topics? does it make you feel more like an expert? keep in mind, this doesn't mean there isn't a possibility that some viewpoints are skewed. but at the end of the day it's a poll, an opinion poll at that. and that's the problem when you try to apply a scientific method to something that isn't a matter of science...

Obviously my thoughts are meant to speak on the subject beyond JUST this sohh topic.

Even if it's "just coincidence" that sohh happened to pick the light-bright over the model, this same scenario plays itself out every single day, in every aspect of culture, you're fukking JOKING me if you don't see that. Just browse through the magazine isle or something.

And yeah, I'm personally growing a little sick of our culture not fortifying our stances a bit when it comes to real life, practical scenarios.

 

[kermit da hustla]

Naomi Campbell is not even remotely attractive to me.

How the fukk you gonna say she better looking than Lauren f****** London?

Lauren London is a straight 10.

you cannot be serious. naomi campbell ETHERS lauren london.
