What role do black men play in sustaining black women's self-hatred issues?
And how could we help our sisters feel more beautiful?
This. And lol @ "partly."
IMO, we're wholly responsible.
Of course, I could go Kat Williams "It's esteem of yo' self." But, we the same one who kill them for even dating one white man.
I was at the movies last night and saw these two women:
One has a weave & painted on eyebrows (I know it's not easy to see in the picture, but, if you saw
Ride Along) and the other has plucked eyebrows, but, wears her natural hair (the style on thecoli, I know).
But, they're both dark skin (beautiful, IMO) and most likely deal with the same pressure from black men (too dark, "nappy" hair, etc.).
Thru all that; we'd kill them for dating a white guy. Of course, they deal with it from the world, but, if they didn't have to deal with it, in the community, it'll be easier to deal the issues.
PS: I have no issues with the way either woman chooses to wear their hair and makeup.
