That scenario would never occur and plenty of BW are in here celebrating :russ:

Personally, I think we need to focus on owning our own outlets to define us and not get self-esteem boost when Whites acknowledge us :manny:
But it's not really getting a self esteem boost when whites acknowledge us for me. No 7-10 year old dark skin natural hair girl at the grocery store with her mother is thinking like that, they're seeing someone who looks like them and saying that hey, my features are beautiful.

I do agee with you however in that we do need our own outlets to acknowledge our beauty.

No, I'm saying creating and sustaining our own institutions. Minority groups can't expect the dominant group to treat them as equals nor treat their culture with respect :manny:

This has nothing to do with her being acknowledged as beautiful. She is beautiful and if a magazine wants to call her beautiful, we are supposed to be disgusted or angry:russ: Move on, gnat, your shyt is weak :mjlol:

See, intent matters with Pharrell's "Marilyn Monroe" but it doesn't when White people do it? Can we get some consistency?

I don't think I was even in that thread other than laughing at the c00n remix to happy. I actually liked the cover art so I have no idea what you're talking about :yeshrug:
