LOL-Cynique, that was funny.

But let's not forget...

big lips were never celebrated until Angelina Jolie wore them

Braids were celebrated once Bo Derek wore them

Jennifer Lopez gets nearly credited with the age old West African attribute of having a "dukan cake" for an ass

In other words...the beauty of Black women is appreciated...as long as it's not paired with Black flesh.

No matter how long you remain in denial of that...it remains a biased reality in the WORLD media--just as dangerous as police profiling and equally racist.

But I do have the feeling, Cynique that this beauty standard will change. That I am hopeful about.
