Some of these guys don't realize how brainwashed they are.

 

[Formerly known as...]

Julia Roberts won it in 2010? fukk out of here. It's basically given to who's popular right now.


And no Lupita Nyong'o isn't that fine to head that list

I love her as a person and as a mascot to young black girls that dark skin with a short fade is beautiful too (besides the typical light skin, long hair).

 

[really]

At least they trying, ain't like black ppl got much of an outlet when discussing beauty in our community.

Hence the "need white validation" comments. Some blacks are so happy to get pats on the head or crumbs off of whitey's table that they don't even want to question the motives. This is why tokenism works like a charm to pacify blacks. "so what if they're putting Lupita on a pedastal after spending centuries convincing the world that her features are inferior.........at least they trying"

I don't have a problem with her being on a cover by the way. I just don't think it validates her beauty nor does it signify any changes to the current standards of beauty. I'll be impressed when there's more than one dark skinned natural black woman being appreciated.

Good for her.
I personally don't find her attractive, but everyone has different taste.

I don't need white validation, I was just commenting on the fact that blacks have no say in what we find beautiful since we don't have many big name beauty magazines

Lets take a look at the past winners.

Julie Roberts won it four times, Kate Hudson, Mel Gibson, Michelle Pheiffer and Drew Berry are all past winners.

People's Most Beautiful Person In the World is a joke and this year proved no different.

Does it matter? It's obvious to anyone this list is just a popularity contest. The whole concept of a single person being the most beautiful in the world is idiotic.

That being said Lupita is a very beatiful woman, and she's hot right now because of the movie. Let her enjoy it.

Came in here to hate but...

Her skin is flawless

Smile is immaculate

Edge is just ...got me feeling a type of way about my line up right now...about to call my barber right now...

This can be taken as a "tiny" win in the black community...cause I am not buying for one second that anybody at that magazine thinks Lupita is the most beautiful anything...but...somebody...somewhere...made the call and said...This little black girl did a slave movie...won an award...is hollywoods next big thing...everyone loves her...YOU BETTER PUT HER AT THE TOP OF YOUR MOST BEAUTIFUL LIST OR ELSE

And she keeping it G...so far...by dating that Ka'naan dude when everyone was trying to push that "she dating some white hollywood dude"

Don't get to happy though black people...cause white people don't see Lupita like they see you...Lupita is a worldly black woman from a country they never been to with a name they can't pronounce correctly who is so graceful and pretty and poised...not like the common black person who is lazy, dumb, ignorant, etc...white people see Lupita as a black woman...like they see Will Smith as a black man.

Cheers though, anytime a black woman with natural hair can get some shine...I'm all for it
