Black People : Are Somali Women Africa's Most Beautiful?

Bria Myles-Perfection

I gues perfection applies if one likes women who are short with big booties. I think once one goes into this type of "showcasing" one goes into negative territory because most of these so-called "hip hop vixens" ain't got much brains and emphasize one particular body part.

exactly my point hollywood does not promote beautiful black women they promote Latifah,and Jennifer Hudson,and Monique the mammy look is what the yt hollywood like.,I never knew that this girl considered her self Creole until you posted her bio, this is the only black actress that's working a lot that i'd consider beautiful,or one of i should say I'm sure there are some i have missed.l i read her Bio, lol creole,but both of her parents are black,her grandma was mixed.? I dunno a lot of blacks call themselves that.
I mean my self I am medium brown,dark skinned people called me light in school,my grand mother had heavy Indian blood,my grandfather had irish blood(although i tell no one that lol) but i am black man,most blacks in this country have a mix. my father is very dark,my mom is medium-light brown I am a black man through and through. dark,brown,light brown,brown skinned,is all part of Black imo.


,that is my point though you see the pretty dark skinned Models that are being posted here,you never see in Hollywood! cause they want to depict black women as fat,loud,and ugly,unless they're biracial like Hallie Berry,then they become the white mans whore,ever see the movie Sword fish or Monsters Ball? LMBO

I don't know they'd have to lose weight first,thats really hard to tell with out seeing.

Three days ago I attended a premiere of the film Inception. As they do for many of these types of showcases, they bring in a few busloads of "extras" into a Hollywood location (near Graumans) and herd them into a theatre. One thing I noticed was for evey 200 skinny white chicks there was 1 or 2 "thick" "Black" women but not a single 1 who was the same height (5'10 or taller) or build (SLIM and STACKED) as the typical white chicks.

Why is that?

As someone who keeps an eye toward asthetic trends and standards, this thread has been an interesting read. I have to agree with the brothers here who lamented about the preponderance of American black women being overweight or obese, however politically incorrect they may have made their points or stated their perspectives. And I am not someone who's been acculturated to believe that mainstream bodily "ideals" even necessarily apply to us. After all, more than one study has shown that black people have 10-15 percent more muscle and bone mass than our white or Asian counterparts; this explains in large part why many of us appear smaller than we weigh and even can gain muscle at a more rapid rate.

I don't know what's going on. Yes, it's easy to blame the prototypical, traditional, Southern-inspired black diet - the same food our grandparents and great-grandparents ate and fed their kids. But they were not as big as we are today, and in these times, we have more information at our disposal that extols the merits and virtues of certain diets/lifestyles. I have also seen a few documentaries about the mass production of food and the commercialization of agriculture, and the role this has played in the level of real nutrients people are consuming. Of course, we cannot talk about this without some inclusion of the proliferation of high fructose corn syrup in so many products and the two-income, frenetic pace that has many families relying on fast food or take out more than in generations past.

That said, these are all veritable reasons to be fat, obese or out of shape. But at the same time, for a great many, they are also excuses. How many sisters have I heard talk about not exercising because they don't want to sweat out their hair or mess up their straightened coif?

For some, I guess it's better to have a "bangin'" hair do than a bangin' body.

As for me, I choose both!

I periodically upload exercise videos on my youtube channel - www.youtube.com/blackmarriedmomma - in an effort to show just how people can use the equipment in the gym and not be intimidated.
