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

[TMNT4000]

I never hear Hispanic or Asian women bytch over this shyt.

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

Wait a minute... Shorty is mixed?...
I thought y'all didn't like mixed folks speaking for us...
Now its all good though?...
Y'all confuse me b...

I was wondering the same thing, her momma is black so maybe that's why the women in here are giving her a pass.

The title is misleading like a mofo. She is calling cacs for the putting down black women and building up cac women all while these same cac women are chasing Afrocentric features.

She needs to drop the fathers surname because of her bedwench mother. Just go with X because any burg is confusing to the message.

That shyt makes no sense, why are some bw's telling other men from other races to lift them up and not they're own.

Will they be okay with black men telling white women on uplifting black men and not white men, they will be pissed.

All this looks like to me is they want access to non-black men.

How much violence from white supremacy is there really? Most blacks experience violence from other blacks. As for the latter portion of your statements that's crud, and it really isn't part of the argument.

the entire premise of this thread is black beauty is undermined and unvalued, which it is.

but i'm saying black beauty will remain undervalued until black men have an intact patriarchy. everything the black woman wants is predicated on the success of black men. so goodluck with that, as you continue to promote the development and success of your gender, and your gender alone.

Nope. Even now when blacks make their own media (usually heralded by black men) they stick to Eurocentric beauty standards. Black women really only have each other, so I'll continue to uplift us. Black men can hop on the train, or get left behind.

Honestly, idc. That is what I comprehended.

what black media do we control? (hard mode: no rap video scapegoat)

and black women uplift the biracial and uphold european standards of beauty as well

Stenberg.

another biracial chick these cacs put out at the forefront to represent black females

chick may be "woke" from her experience playing rue in tha film, but that aint going to stop her from gladly accepting roles and checks meant for AUTHENTIC black women

Let's talk about a little movie called Dope (a very recent example. Black director, black screen-writer, and a mostly black cast (at least the males were). They had no problem using actual black men as actors, but every single female character was light/mixed. I won't even discuss the disturbing colorism in Nollywood.

you wont get that type of promotion until black men are in a position to give it to you.

Why can't they do this promotion shyt themselves

so our black owned media engine is 1 nigerian directed movie? okay

i haven't seen the movie, but i believe you. i'm sure most of the women featured are mixed or biracial. that's why we've got to do away with this crazy one drop rule as soon as possible

you're asking why black women can't create their own pedestal and put themselves on it?

you do understand its the males patriarchal duty to promote the beauty of his woman over all else, right?

Taking up "space" as they like to call it. That space should be reserved for authentic black women not females like her.

That does not mean that they control who gets cast in the movie, white Hollywood still controls them don't get it twisted.

It was an independent film.

So how long they wait until Black men are actually in a position of promoting their beauty
