		<description>well bossip won&#039;t allow me to give you the link but



Shereece I was this close to telling you to take 2 seconds to google and do your own research anyway but it means more to me to shed some light on your ignorance...So this 1 of MANY articles with statistical data and research done on the topic...I&#039;ve included some short excerpts from an article



&quot;To examine spending by racial groups, Roussanov and his colleagues studied data collected from 1986 to 2002 for the Consumer Expenditure Survey conducted by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. Blacks and Hispanics spend up to 30% more than whites of comparable income on visible goods like clothing, cars and jewelry, the researchers found. This meant that, compared to white households of similar income, the typical black and Hispanic household spent $2,300 more per year on visible items. To do that, they spent less on almost all other categories except housing, and they saved less.

Visible items are those others can see when one is in public. The researchers found that blacks and Hispanics do not spend more than whites on items, such as home furnishings, that could serve as status symbols but aren&#039;t seen by as many people...&quot;

&quot;The research indicates that spending habits are heavily influenced by a deep-seated yearning for status rather than transient fashion following. That could make the behavior harder to change, assuming that education, health and savings should come before shoes and jewelry.&quot;...

&quot;The fact that saving and stock market participation is lower among minorities could be potentially linked to their greater spending on cars and other visible items.&quot;









YES WE ARE A VERY economically repressed group of people but our spending habits don&#039;t do much to help the problem. We let our low self-esteem get the best of us...</description>

		<description>Instead of celebrating the fact that this magazine devoted major pages to all black models (current, past and former models) I knew people here would attack the success of it. For those who don&#039;t realize how fashion magazines work, the amount of fashion spreads or &quot;stories&quot; or editortial work the model has, the better. In the case of Italia Vouge, the amount of pages devoted to black models is a huge statement. So when people complain that there were still white models in all the ads, that was to be expected (The Black Issue ONLY pertained to the fashion spreads). This issue was a great trubute to black models,</description>

		<description>Some of you haters need to SHUT THE F_CK UP!!! You don&#039;t have to spout your Aryan bullshyt here cuz ain&#039;t nobody checking for the sh-t. Blonde white women are the hotties of the planet? WHich f-ckin ones? The ones who spend 100k on their f-cking appearance. The anorexic 50lb bishes who are so f-cking weakminded they let some man tell them what is beautiful and what is not! Weak azzed people can&#039;t stand strong ones. Yeah sistas speak the hell up. Just cuz your weak azz look the other way when your serial killer husband packs your freezer with the severed heads of his trophies don&#039;t hate cuz you ain&#039;t got the strength it takes to stand up.



And f-ck the weakazzed men who a weak azzed white world destroyed pyschologically where you hate your mother and any woman who resembles you. Dont give me that ish when white women are flying down to Rio in droves to get a black Bantu Brazilian behind.



White people and weakminded negroes are so pathetic! Trying to defend their dying Aryan race to the f-cking end. Black people are the first and we&#039;ll be the last. Haters fall back. And some of you self-hating black folks read some history books and get a goddamn grip and repossess your black azzed mind and sanity.



Who cares what some weak azzed cave bishes who have to butcher their azzes thinks of black women. Your funky butchered pink azz don&#039;t represent beauty to me either biotch!!!!!</description>

		<description>Van (Tokyo,Japan)(Check me out!)



Black women are beautiful. Now all they have to do is adjust their attitudes and stop from “going on a rant” when things go wrong.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  Are you suggesting that Black women don&#039;t &quot;rant&quot;, so they can end up addicted to Zanax and Zoloft and all those other prescription medications, like so many other non-black women, who don&#039;t stand up for themselves?</description>

		<description>ohshutup(Check me out!)



um, noone has to tell me whats beautiful.. i can look at the person and form my own opinion.. so you go ahead and keep screaming about your “beauty” and how “everyone “wants to be like you. you’re delusional.. white women dont’ tan to be “black”. hahha that’s the stupidest thing i’ve ever heard.



so you ms “bbw”, you keep screaming how you’re hot, all the while your thighs keep rubbing up against eachother chaffing so much they’re about to burst into flames. go on with yo bad self.



you should really educate yourself and actually look at the world today. pick up a book and take off that weave..

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  And you, and the other pale faces of your ilk, need to take out your blonde &quot;extensions&quot;, (ahem! weaves!), take all of that collagen out of your lips, stop buying those butt pads, stop getting those saline and silicone fake breasts, stop getting fat transfer injections into your flat asses, and also go read a book!

  Oh, and how&#039;s the skin cancer risk going, as you try to darken your skin, by cooking in the hot sun!

  You say white women don&#039;t want to be Black, but it seems you don&#039;t want to be what you REALLY ARE, either!</description>
