Are people who think lighter skin is more beautiful than darker skin racist? What if the reasoning is that facial features are more defined with lighter skin? How do I stop thinking one is better than the other?
Are people who think lighter skin is more beautiful than darker skin racist? What if the reasoning is that facial features are more defined with lighter skin? How do I stop thinking one is better than the other?I'm struggling to understand why people claim they don't know of any beautiful dark skinned women. And to think that the reason is that their facial features aren't well defined… No deal.Look, there's nothing wrong with having a bias. Some people prefer red heads, some prefer blonds. Some people even prefer dark skinned women.But to go out your way to make a public statement that dark skinned women can't be beautiful, is something that I find offensive.All I can do is present some pictures, and hope you look at them with an open mind.Dark skinned women come in all different shapes and sizes… And hues. But I don't have a hard time seeing any of their facial features.Now the thing to understand here is just because you don't see these women as attractive… It doesn't mean that they aren't.P.S.I figured I'd add a few more dark skinned women in here for the people that are fans of them.
Even the lightest shade of Clinique is too dark for me, what foundation should I use?
search for a powder named "ESHIKO" its a japanese face powder and it is the first nano engineered face powder that refracts light and gives an illusion of flawless skin. its really good. My friend gave it to me as a birthday gift and i fell in love with it. It does not cover like liquid foundation since its transparent crystals but its PERFECT as a finisher since the light refraction blurs your skin surface and its a REAL LIFE PHOTOSHOP AIRBRUSH EFFECT! love it!
Colorism: light skin/dark skin?
I'm medium dark. It used to matter. Nowadays, not so much. It was the paper bag theory. If you were the color of a paper bag or lighter, you'd be able to work inside the master's house and not the field. This made a jealousy gap between the ones who made inside and the one's in the field. It was considered a blessing to be lighter. The less black you appeared to be, the better. it doesn't matter anymore. black is black in every beautiful shade.
Dark skin vs. Light skin African Americans?
first why would want more attention from the media? you want to stay away from that ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE BLACK! Can you name one person who has had a past or pulled the stuff that young white rich girls (brittnay and them) and still are well liked or blown off like america seems to do their behavior? i can't. but the way you felt after you got older is how i felt when i got older about just being black. not that i ever wanted to be white but i did want people to just let me fit in and not notice my color. but i just gave that up when i got older and quit trying to fit in. and yes there is a difference. anybody who says theres no difference in shades of skin, sex, race, religion (in some cases) or simply if you are fat or skinny or if you are attractive or not is just trying to be politically correct. its a proven fact people are attractive get a away with a lot more in life. nobody denies that! but you can't prove the racism and some other discrimination so people like to sound politically correct! im light skinned and black but i can go to average skin depending on how much sun i have! either way thats people always judging you off the way you look even though they never amidt. its life
Why does lighter skinned filipinos get better treatment than darker skinned filipinos?
I am of ilocano descent and have noticed through society and media that lighter skinned filipinos such as "mestizos" or tagalogs have more prestige over darker skinned(complexion)filipinos or people from the province...It may not be the case in america but in the Philippines its quite common to be discriminated upon...esp. for jobs and service. Do you agree?
How do I learn to love and appreciate my dark skin?
I've tried to love it but its so hard in todays society where dark skinned is portrayed as unattractive and light skin is portrayed as gorgeous. Sometimes I wonder how much easier my life would be if I was lighter. More guys would talk to me and I would be considered pretty/cute. I know its wrong to think that way, but I can't help it. How can I learn to love and appreciate my dark dark skin.
I HATE BEING DARK SKINNED IN PUBLIC?
I love my skin color because it comes with many benefits.I get looked down on so much especially since i live in california and a lot the black girls here are mixed or light skinned and i speaking for a lot of dark skinned girls also.When im in public and when i go out with my light skinned friends, Im always second choice to them just because im dark. I constantly get "your real pretty for a dark skinned girl" or the "i usually dont date dark females, but your pretty, so lets go out" or the infamous "mixed girls are the prettiest." Now i know im a lot cuter then my other l8ight skinned friends but since they are light, people see them for their color first and talk to them but then they look at my face and then they want to start talkin to me. I except myself when im alone or with family but im stating to hate my color. IM thinking about skin bleaching just a few shades lighter, Any suggestions
Black people, if you could have been born lighter..would you?
Yes im too dark. Ive been made fun of by being so dark. Im like Naomi Campbells color prolly a lil darker. Ive been told "your skin is too dark" by classmates and i've been told "im gonna have some black black kids" .... Ive been told "ewww she dark skin why yall hanging w/ her?'..light is right".....ive been ridiculed so many times for being a shade I have no choice to be. And ive been called every type of monkey., gorilla, king kong, ape, oranagatang....and no on like me cuz im so dark. Ive also been called ugly ample times. I think thats my only dilema is that im dark. It has served as a hinderance for making friends, boyfriends, and me being popular. I guarantee that if I was at least CARAMEL skin or a light brown i wouldve been popular and had tons of guys wanting me etc.... I get called African automatically and both my parents are black. All id want to be is caramel thats the prettiest skin tone ever. Not too dark not too light. I mean I have a pretty face and cool *** personality, but its not acknowledged because im so dark. So pretty much thats the only reason why i'd wanna be lighter is because societ gives u **** for being dark, its stressful. If im walking with a lighter friend they always get looked at first and most of the time once they see her they arent even interested in looking at me or seeing what I look like.
