Voicing an opinion doesn't equate to being outraged. Let's also not pretend that the European standard of beauty hasn't been established by white men simply showing love to their own women. The white man standard of beauty has been established by white men who have used a system of supremacy to paint non white women as inferior.No offense, but this is childish.
First of all, why are you outraged that white people would prop up white women as the most beautiful? Isn't that normal? If you had a magazine wouldn't you prop up black women as the most beautiful?
Beauty is subjective. White people like white women, black people like black women, asians like asian women,
martians like martian women.
fukk are you babbling about here? I was quoting someone who used the term "they" and common sense should tell you that it's a general term used to describe the white media:Second of all, who is "they"? I get that white people, but who? Did they poll every white man in America and they said "yeah give it to Lupita as a token?"
Or did the Council of White Supremacy directly contact People magazine and ordered them to placate black people and give Lupita the award?
It's not about taking "issue" with her being on the cover. It's about recognizing possible ulterior motives and understanding the possible ulterior motives. You're a cracker yourself though so your position here is no surprise. It's also no surprise to see that black man hater cosign your cracker ass either.The bottom line is that this award is given to people who are both popular and beautiful. Lupita is both. So she got the award. Only a person who is really looking hard for something to feel offended about would take issue with this.
This is simply a discussion on the Internet of course it's "not that serious". The bullshyt that you people are on when you try to dismiss issues that you don't want to be discussed is so transparent. No surprise to see you cosigning a white man though. Good girl*pats on head*Exactly!
It's really not that serious.
