Ok so there are a lot of white girls that can be pretty. though I am sick and tired of everyone saying they are the prettiest. I mean on top of that they say black Women are ugly! I am sorry but I have seen a lot of African Women that can blow some white girls out of the water.......

Even fellow black men are like " Nah I want me a white woman!". I guess this is just preference but even the media and movies puts it in your head that white woman "define" beauty. On another note, the media and what you see on TV practices a lot of "Pro white things"

like in movies the Black man would most of the time always die and the way the media makes it like it's typical for black people to be doing crime. It makes black children have low self esteem because of what influences them on TV like this video shows.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybDa0gSuAcg

There are pretty people from every race and there are ugly people from every race. There shouldn't be some big controversy over it.

I don't judge beauty on skin color, I judge it by how they look, how they present themselves, and their personality combined.

There is no way to describe pretty people by matter of coloration/gender/features/anything, pretty people just are.

I agree with you to SOME extent. I do find that in a lot of movies, a lot of 'criminals' are black and gangster-like. It does piss me off.

I think people need to just get over races.
If you live in America you're American.
I'm tired of everyone comparing races that they're so different.

True, but the emphasis on "White beauty" is the one showed on TV. The point of this topic wasn't to say someone is beautiful based on your skin color. The point is that you don't have to be white to be beautiful. My preferences are the exotic black look but I like Caucasian beauty at times too.

The majority of beauty on the television is a reflection of the population breakdown of the country, that blacks are only about 12% of the population.

Well it's really a messed up system to go by. It also makes minorities feel......well more of an outcast.

"In California, groups of all ethnicities have vied to transform themselves into a Caucasian standard of beauty. Jewish women undergo rhinoplasty, or "nose jobs," and African Americans have undergone the same, along with lip reductions and skin lightening."

well i did a paper on asian blepharoplasty recently. that was just an interesting bit from one of my sources. are you just talking about television or the idea that white (with blonde hair/blue eyes etc.) = beautiful?
