Rappers used to mention how bad Janet was. Janet was/is an icon
All my older cousins and uncles used to say that nikkaz used to jock the shyt out of Janet since she was on good times

answer the damn question, matt. your resistance to answer a simple yes or no question, leads me to believe you'd be a fetching ass doggy
If anything I hear the exact opposite. Ive kno plenty of nikkas who make it known they prefer a darker chick. Its the females who are more color struck. Ive heard lighskinned chicks say they want a darker nikka so their baby wont be "clear". Ive heard dark skinned chick say they only fukk with light skinned dudes so their babies wont be dark skinned. Ive never in my life heard a nikka talk like that.
But than again we a different breed over here
No it's not just you that's fax. Black women are 100 times more color struck than men, and I've been saying this. I straight up laugh every time I hear a black woman complaining about color struck.
Then if you really want to go deeper into it, how many "black" mixed and half breeds are represented in crime and poverty statistics as black and how many are represented as as white 
I wonder what's the agenda behind this "one drop rule" and why it is accepted as the standard 
Then when Half breeds and afro Latinos climb the socioeconomic ladder they claim and are looked at as "other", white, or some other bullshyt that's anything other than black but when it's lower class and crime related everyone's now black all of a sudden
"Everyone wants to be a nikka but nobody wants to be a nikka"

Yea and they tried to prop Precious up as a beauty for a second. Difference between her and them is they were actually beautiful. You think they were gonna get just anybody to act opposite Kevin Costner in the 90s?precious acted in movies, so fukkin what? and i'm not taking anything away from whitney houston in her prime. but if the choice was between 90's halle berry and 90's whitney houston, who do you think the majority of black men were picking at the time?
okay, fair enough. are you saying janet jackson was THEE standard of beauty in the black community?

an uber driver told me that you get a majority of your dna from your father 
so maybe if the dad is black?
so maybe if the dad is black?
okay, one movie, and? halle berry was running shyt for 2 decades
then nikkas started acting like she didn't exist once she got a white dude
I'm not answering the question because it's based on an invalid comparison, what did you have to do to be classified as Black, do police officers do DNA test to make sure they aren't harassing and killing people who aren't actually Black?

Of course Ifor my black women. Id neg you but I just recently repped you
Coz once you hear what I have to say you'll probably agree, as we're like minded.
1. Wasn't Whitney Houston dating the CEO of Sony, Tommy Mottola of one of them kinda cats. Who wanted to market her as a white woman when she dropped in the 80s. Hence the "Wanna dance with somebody" the blonde hair and white woman make up that looked like clown face. Not to mention the lightening of her skin in the early videos. Whitney was the black girl that record companies sold to white girls.
2. Tariji or whatever aint rated as a standard for black beauty
3. The standards for Black Beauty currently is Nikkki, Beyonce, Rihanna. All skin bleaching girls, "light skin goodesses" all three are marketed to look biracial.
Truth be told for Beyonce to wear her NATURAL hair in a video would cause more controversy than if she didn't .
I see the treue black standard of beauty as natural beauty that young women without money for weave, make up to make their noses look slimmer etc can look up to .
This is the only black beauty to reach mainstream, without being marketed as biracial.

In the black community she was. Halle's appeal was more universal. But Janet is built how we like our women built and is gorgeous at the same time.

I would say yes. Why wouldn't she be
didn't i just say:Are you saying that black people in general didn't view Whitney Houston as beautiful?
she was very attractive in her prime, and there are plenty of other black women that were extremely gorgeous in their prime. but in terms of the black standard of beauty, halle berry was the main chick everyone championed.
