"Black Features Are Beautiful. Black Women Are Not" - Amandla Stenberg

[Bawon Samedi]

The people complaining about her being mixed are most likely the same people who obsess with "paags" and Kylie Jenner.

People just purposely decided to ignore what Amandla was arguing.

I don't want the approval of white men. I don't need a man to make myself feel beautiful. U know good & well I ain't no damn bedwench

I guess you didn't see the troll face

 

[Bawon Samedi]

I noticed that too, I don't see other non-white women complain about this.

Do white women appropriate their style, culture or looks??? No.

 

[Bawon Samedi]

The insecure people(mostly the men) just wanted this to be another black men vs black women thread.

And.......?

and it looks extremely petty & hypocritical.

instead of flipping out over some chicks hairstyle, accept the biting as a form of flattery and keep it pushing. shyt looks stupid making a fuss over this when we've got an epidemic of BW running from their natural hair. .

Black men get copied by whites and non-blacks all the time but we don't complain about it.

Also black women with white features get praised by white media a lot of times but I don't hear white women complaining that black women stole they're looks.

The only thing agree with this girl is that white media needs stop degrading black women on tv. I disagree with the rest of her letter.

IDGAF how it looks to the kings and queens of being petty and hypocritical. White men raped black women like it was nothing while at the same time lynching black men for even sneezing in the direction of their chickens. So why would I give a flying monkeys ass about a so called double standard that doesn't work in their favor.

You cannot make people hate their natural features, mock their features, keep them from making a living due to those features, and then turn around and say "hey this is cool. I want to try this" and think people are supposed to get over it. It is not flattering, it's annoying, just like your bi-polar posting tendencies.

Peace.

Black men like black women complain about cultural appropriation all the time. The second bolded is a very BAD example. That's actually a form of white supremacy and its beauty standards. Everyone knows the European phenotype is the standard beauty world wide and the "negroid" phenotype is the least attractive. That's what black women are complaining about, but how the heck can you steal a phenotype??

But more importantly the main thing bw are complaining is WW stealing their STYLE! Which is what my post was about. Cornrolls is usually associated with bw, and when it is its considered negative. Once a ww has cornrolls its positive. Twerking when a black women does it, its disgusting and ghetto but when WW does it, its fun and sexy. Get where the fustraction comes from? No culture gets appropriated as much as black culture.

Because it doesn't involve a black dude and a cac dude directly.
