Answer 2

Answer 3

we have a problem.

I believe nature played a trick on us when we were given our senses. The  challenge of the sighted person is to see as the blind.

I am an artist and have many times wondered about the  true value of  aesthetics. Vision allow us not only to approve but to disapprove but to be attracted or repelled.  

Discernment ? I wonder.

Is attraction learned?  There are simply too many questions.Some of the answers are scary....

but mostly it is in the presence or absence of  the various lengths of light rays  and our rods and cones.(*  biology terms which explain how we see colour).. and   We are the only animals that see color. All other creatures see only grey scale. Perhaps we should be more dependent on  sound or smell or touch or taste.

But I agree Black is beautiful.

Answer 4

Beauty are the  women of the world

in rainbow colors and tribal sounds

make us blind to finally see.

Black is a beautiful color, but a Mother has every color.

You've expressed it well.

Answer 7

I would encourage Scary Stegosaurus and other readers to participate in a little experiment. Spend one night watching American television. Pay attention to every person you see, whether in the actual programs, in commercials, whatever. Take a sheet of paper and make columns for the different ethnic classifications we use here in America: White, Black, Latino/Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, West Asian/Middle Eastern, Native American, etc. Break each column down into sub-columns for male and female. Then simply place tally marks in the respective columns that correspond to each person you see. (Remember, pay attention to the commercials, too.)

Now, under the women categories, add up how many different women you see of the respective categories at the end of the night. I am almost willing to bet you that unless you were watching BET, Univision, Telemundo, or some other network/show already specifically created for a niche market, the majority of the women you see will be white.

White women see affirmation of their beauty all day everyday. The hair model in the Pantene or Garnier add, the soccer mom driving the fancy new GM SUV, the "it" girl on everything from Heroes, to Lost, to CSI, to Gossip Girl, will always be some really hot white woman. In the entire history of Sports Illustrated, only two black women have EVER made the cover of the swimsuit issue: Tyra Banks and Beyonce Knowles (both of whom dye their hair blonde and already have green/hazel eyes).

Even in school, the primary female characters in all the old "classics" - Hemingway, Faulkner, Hawthorne, SHAKESPEARE - are always described as some "fair skinned" white woman. Heck, the only black hero in all the zillion works Shakespeare wrote was Othello, but his wife, the apple of his eye, the beauty in the play is a white woman. Edgar Allen Poe's Annabelle Lee and F. Scott Fitzgerald's Daisy were white women. When I was in school, our teachers didn't start assigning works by folks like Toni Morrison, Chinua Achebe, Langston Hughes, or Zora Neale Hurston until we were practically about to graduate and go to college.

I can't tell you how frustrating it is to go to Toys 'R Us during the Christmas season and find they're out of the black version of a particular doll because the store only ordered 50 of them, while they stocked 200 of her white counterpart. Disney has fed our little girls Cinderella, Snow White, The Little Mermaid, and Sleeping Beauty. Even their non-White heroines, like Pocohontas, Mulan, and Princess Jasmine, have not a single black face among them.

Unless they go out of their way to create their own images of beauty - establishing their OWN television networks, writing and producing their OWN programs, publishing their OWN magazines, manufacturing their OWN toys, writing their OWN poems (like this one) - minorities in this country might never see or hear images of themselves portrayed as beautiful. A black woman never lands a hair product add unless it's for a "black" haircare product that will only help that black woman's hair achieve the texture of a white woman's. While other races are running out to buy self-tanners, the "black beauty" aisle at the drug or grocery store still displays products to help black women lighten (READ: whiten) our skin.

Is white beautiful? Of course. Beauty knows no color. That is why no one blinks an eye when a white poet writes about a beautiful white woman. But without poems and authors like this, just how much daily assurance does a non-white woman get that SHE, too, is beautiful?

Answer 8

Everyone is beautiful, regardless of anything, but I also agree with you.

Answer 9

I would also like to add that some of the great goddesses of old were portrayed as Black women as well as many Christian Madonnas.  We are all, under the skin, the same.  

Loving words.
