it’s racist to suggest that black women aren’t as pretty as other races. why?

 

1. Blondes, brunettes and raven haired Europeans can be found all along the scale of “fell of the ugly tree and hit all the branches on the way down” to Helena of Troy beautiful.  I have always thought that red heads are unique as they seem tip the bell curve on its head.  Most are either drop dead goergous or, well, decidely not, with few in between.  To my eye, black women are the same as red heads, occupying an inverse bell curve.  As to Asians, having lived and travelled throughout the Orient for a number of years, my own opinion is that Koreans tend to produce the most of what we in the West would think of as classical beauties.  Here are a few:  http://korea.heyheyfriends.com/top-10-korean-girl-mode-in-korea-cf-advertisement/

2. How is somebody giving their opinion racist.  I’ve dated black and white women in my life, and it’s strictly a matter of preference.  And my preferences changed as I got older: when I was in my teens and early 20’s, I either dated white girls or light-skinned black women; by the time I was 24 or 25, I preferred dark-skinned black women (one of I’m still married to after over 29 years). 

   Jeesh, some of these uber-sensitive people need to get a life!

3. As a person who has:

   a)dated black women

   b)has two half-brothers and a half-sister who are black (who decides that anyway? Our mutual father was white.)

   c)almost married a ‘black’ woman (half-black, half-Japanese, again, who decides? One drop rule still in effect?)

   d)and has no problem with fine, attractive black women (or any other kind of woman) just because of skin color.

   Now, if we start talkin’ behavior… well, then I get called ‘racist’ all the time.

   MLK said it: not the color of the skin, it’s the content of the character.

   Which is true for everyone, me included.

   Good thing I’m old and safely married…
