Where are you #chinesebreath lovers now?? Your chink King needs you!!

Neither Psychology Today nor the author of the study should apologize. Black people love to play the innocent victim role time after time. If African Americans truly cared how they were perceived in the media they would change their behavior and act accordingly. How can we hold someone accountable for how they feel? If the author felt black women are unattractive that is his business. Psychology Today has a right to publish whatever findings they choose. Nobody complains when blacks call Asian people ugly. People need to stop being hypersensitive.

I still stay weight and attitude had a lot to do with this study and that perception. Those are two big turn offs to men.

BLACK WOMEN ARE LESS ATTRACTIVE BECAUSE THEY LIKE TO ARGUE, THEY HAVE FAKE HAIR, FAKE BREASTS, FAKE BUTTS, I COULD GO ON FOREVER…

@Hannibal Really?So White People Don’t Have Fake Breast, Fake Hair, And Fake Butts?? Get The F*CK! Outta Here…Jack A55

I wonder if Black men were voted the most unattractive would we be doing this shyt like black women,but i have a feeling black men dont care unlike black women,im sure black women would be trying to rub it in our faces about how nobody likes you as much as you thought…yeah well tell that to my girl

Hannibal STFU!!! That’s why all the other races want out “fake” butts, lips, breast…. The day when the term thick was changed to “Curvy” for White people.. And every guy I’ve spoken too.. Black, white, Persian, Hispanic have all said Asian Women with the exception of Philipino/Island Pacific were the most unattractive race and lacked the most pigmentation… Blackmen only procreate with them because Darkin and slanted eyes is hot!!!

Im glad he is getting what he deserves. This reminds me of how blacks were studied to prove how less human we are.Things is if were talking about men as a whole I think latin men rank higher then black men ,but the myth that black are sexually advanced than others played a huge role. Its one thing to say I personally don’t find black women attractive .its another thing, to try and scientifically prove it is………more so racism than anything.To break black women down like were inhuman is so evil and what you put out in the world comes back.

I don’t care if they apologize or not because I was not offended due to the fact of the article not applying to me. Like I said before I do not base how I feel about myself off of what “others” think. You’re only offended if you feel that it’s true and if that’s the case then you’re allowing it to offend you. I have been called every name in the book being a black woman,
do you think I care,…..No, because I KNOW who I am so what someone else says means NOTHING to me, PERIOD! Don’t let people brainwash you into low self esteem people. People tend to run with what they read so basically it’s an advertisement of trying to make people view us in a derogatory way, Fail, ignorant people don’t count so you’re wasting your money trying to make people feel a certain way about black women, as I said before I have NO problem in the man department from any race people are going to be with who they want to at the end of the day no matter how you try to get the to change their minds…..lol

Darkin and slanted eyes?!! Do you mean dark skin?? No dark skin and slanted eyes is a VERY UGLY combination. Asian features look better with light skin not dark or tan.

Black men could careless if that was the fact. I doubt you would hear brothas clamoring about it since that issue is trivial.

This clown needs to go sit some dammm where.

I already signed that petition last week. Kanazawa needs to come out like a man and take his medicine. Let that had been about a Jewish or Muslim woman, there would have been many coming to their defense. Seems like more than anything, more women of all ethnicities have been speaking out. We need to hear from more black men. Some of you don’t know but he lied , please see the actual data retrieved by add health. There were not large variations in the numbers. He is such a coward.

What is this bird squawking about?

He knows of what he speaks.
A weave and a skank outfit don’t make ya’all attractive.

He knows of what he speaks.
A weave and a skenk outfit don’t make ya’all attractive.
And once they open their mouths – oooh, that’s not pretty.

Actually, a fair amount of outrage has come from people of different ethnic backgrounds. My mom first heard of this from her white co-workers, and she said they were boiling. I agree with you to an extent about our hypersensitivity, but in this situation I think the indignation is absolutely warranted. For the mere fact that this man used the pretense of science to promote a bias, hateful rhetoric is what is really upsetting. Personally, I found it tasteless, and knowing what I know about science/psychology/biology, it was inaccurate in full extent. He said the study was conducted “objectively”, but that is considerably inaccurate cause you can’t make a conclusive theory objectively by asking people to rate others’ attractiveness. This was obviously a concealed, deep-seated jab at black woman. As a black woman I was not offended just disappointed that people that Psychology Today, as so called “scholarly” article would promote such a thing. But I am way too confident in the beauty of myself than to be personally effected by his “study”. But if this man had wrote anything to this extent about any other race, I would be just as upset. Sometimes there are certain things that should be taken at face value.

If that study concluded that black men were least attractive nobody would care. I simply would have laughed at the results and kept it moving. Unlike women, men, do not care about this type of stuff. Only women insecure with their looks care about this type of stuff. Like someone said above, black women would have rubbed it in the face of black men if this study would have concluded we were ugly. Well, some of them would have. I must admit that some sisters would have been up in arms if someone said black men were ugly. But only a few.

Not all of them are like that. There are a HANDFUL that behave with some sense.

The chick in that picture look good.

I don’t need an apology from that guy, whatever his name is. Enough with all this apology every time somebody say something negative about u and ur mama.

Good! Psychology Today was ignorant for publishing the article without a thorough investigation. This “research” not only generalized a group of women (who can vary in color, hair color, eye color, skin color, BMI, etc.), it also was HURTFUL & DAMAGING to an ENTIRE RACE of women. Shameful & Disgusting!

I disagree, b/c AA women are STRONG and no matter how you all (AA men) distrust us, leave us, hate us, we STILL fight for you. Whenever there is an injustice against an AA male (police brutality, discrimination, etc) the entire community stands up, including the AA woman!

Hannibal, I see your out. I thought y’all get internet in the penn. Oh well, enjoy your freedom, before you get dradged off to the pokey again!

It’s exactly why no one takes psychology seriously. Nothing is ever conducted thoroughly.

I just signed the petition…

Black women have had it bad in this country. In Belgium I saw first hand how black women are sought after like rare prizes by white men. This country is a mess. There are people who are always going to be attracted to opposites, but to paint a broad brush on one group of women not being as attractive as another simply exposes what a Nazi you are.

Correction

Say

WTF, HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS LOCKED UP?

@Nurse Practitioner in La

I concede your point as I mentioned above that some of you will defend us. But there are many black women, including those on this site, that would love the opportunity to highlight black males as being undesirable to other races of women. These women do this for a variety of reasons but the most important is to attack black male self esteem. I do think black women in some cases feel abandoned by black men dating outside the race. But the question still remains why do black women relish the opportunity to bash black men? I think black women, at least some, don’t like the idea of black men have other dating options. We are able to go outside the race with relative ease compared to sisters. I think this is the source of the problem.

Oops typo *dragged

First, I think it is so funny that certain people (Magister Veritatis and 2012NOW) take the time out of their clearly busy days, to come all the way over to a primarily black website to spew their hate and venom behind their precious little avatars. You want attention do you? Funny how you seem to hate “the blacks” so much, but you can’t stay off of our page. Hmmm… Anyway, my advice to all other posters is to simply ignore these clowns. They do it to get a rise out of us obviously because their lives are too dull and boring in whatever part of the planet they’re on. And because they’re obsessed with black people (and why wouldn’t they be? We’re amazing!)

Now, with that said, ever notice how the most powerful beings on earth are always the subject of intense scrutiny and attack? Think about it- why would this author have a need to further tear down the black woman? Could it be that the black woman is mother to all of the races, including white? Could it be the black woman is actually the most powerful being on the planet? Why else would there be so much suppression? Ladies, you are goddesses, and one day we will all wake up to that fact. One day, you WILL bow to the goddess. Remember- “The last shall be the first, and the first shall be the last…….”

I just wanted to say that Claudia Jordan looks AWESOME in that pic! That gurl is one fine piece of woman meat! And I never saw that pic of her before. Thanks Bozzip!

What an idiot. I hate black people? I guess I hate my parents then. Dumbazz

Thank you for the compliment to us Sistahs MrCookDat.

It might not happen in America, but its very common in Jamaica. I grew up in a community where blk woman marries Asain men. Yes, I’ve seen blk women who are married to Asain men right here in the good old U.S.A.

Has this mofo looked good at the women in his ugly azz race?

It was his opinion masqueraded as science but then again psychology is a pseudoscience and not taken that seriously. He did not even have evidence to his claims. Its ironic Asian women topped the list hummm!!!
But seriously do any of you losers have better things than to constantly criticise black women? Give it a rest. We get that you have issue with black women now move on why hover over the issue if you seemingly don’t care

Lol @ Hannibal! Thats why I like you.Your comments just makes me laugh, whether u ment it or not….u take every comments thats thrown at u with a grain of salt.

@Reallynotinterested Of course you wouldn’t care because the sterotype of black men in that area is just the opposite which is that they are all well endowed, great lovers, with nice bodies.

However, you WOULD get worked up over a NEGATIVE stereotype of black men such as they are lazy & don’t want to work…case & point, the article about the “black mancession”. Get my point?

I just think brothers are frustrated with sisters for a variety of reasons.

LOL

What would an apology really mean coming from someone who conducted a racist and bias study? What would an apology really mean coming from someone who published it?

I mean really… we all see it for what it’s worth. Why beg or fight for an apology that isn’t sincere??

I am a very logical person, so please list a few reasons why the AA male is frustrated with the AA female.

I believe that most AA women have supported the AA man through it all. AA men are battling multiple wars such as cardiac disease, prostate cancer, homicide, lack of education, poor parenting (dead beat dads), & being the majority in the criminal system. But, AA women continue to support the AA man. Researchers have projected that 42% of AA women will never marry, but the AA woman continues to struggle with the thoughts of interracial herself, even though the AA male began IR dating soon after the Civil Rights Movement.

@Kim

I only got upset with the mancession article because people made comments about black men opening businesses. I simply said that obtaining business loans is very difficult for black men. Even educated black men have difficulty qualifying for loans. This stuff is common knowledge. But many people think otherwise.

on the topic why do an Asian male care about black women??????!!! whats the point black women are not chasing Asian males … they are the least sort after males!!!!

I am a 25 years old white girl, fascinated with blackman.
My boyfriend and i ,we met at HotBlackwhite* c0M — .
This is a serious and authentic website.If u want a interracial dating with your true love. This is the best choice for u!
HotBlackwhite* c0M —
===========================

???? i don’t understand why would an Asian male care about African America females ??????? this man has some very serious issues!!!!!!!

@Nurse La

I’m not in a position to speak for all black men. I can only highlight the issues that “some” black men mention as grievances towards sisters. The main issues revolve around
1) Weight
2) Attitude
3) Kids out of wedlock

COSIGN 100%

DONT FEED INTO MY SONS B.S. HE JUST WANTS ATTENTION !!!!!

@ really not interested ?

you mean every black woman has weight issues a bad attitude and kids out of wedlock ???? why focus on a whole group and not and individual????? i see alot of Hispanic women with bad body builds and kids out of wedlock but i
don’t hear there men complaining about there
whole race that’s bull!! stop feeding into negative
s

I agree

I for one don’t give a damn about this so called study I am a beautiful black woman 100% natural gorgeous I have thick curly natural hair that comes down my back no perm, cute in the face thick in the waste, I have a coke bottle figure and I was born this way! 36Ds didn’t have to buy them and my butt is forever popping out of my jeans no silicone, nice voluptuous lips not to big or too small just right I always get complements from white, black, spanish whoever everybody can see I’m beautiful people pay to have this skin tone and things I was naturally born with I am what a real woman is supposed to look like so if whoever think I’m not attractive that’s their lost the world knows I’m beautiful!

Let me give u some scenarios
#1- You meet a lovely, sweet educated lawyer. No kids, no history of STDs, never been in a physical fight. She is 5’7″ 230lbs. Would you date her?

#2- You meet a lovely young woman currently in medical school. She was impregnated at age 17 b/c of poor choices. Her son is now 6. She had one fight with the other mother of her son’s father, but no criminal record. She is 5’5, 130lbs. Would you date her?

@ really not interested ?

you mean every black woman has weight issues a bad attitude and kids out of wedlock ???? why focus on a whole group and not and individual????? i see alot of Hispanic women with bad body builds and kids out of wedlock but i
don’t hear there men complaining about there

stereotypes. . that same thing could be said about black males
1. unemployed

2. have a bunch of kids by a bunch of women with

3.thugs stay in jail .run from responsibility

why do it and women of all races have issues with males and finding mates but why do blacks always compare themselves to other races??? im sure white females don’t throw white males under the bus when they date black males??? i have never heard Kim kardashian say she think all white males age bad and have small pee pees get a clue

Sorry, I don’t mean to interject, but that’s their community. If accepting the bad behavior is okay with them, that’s their prerogative.

Weight issues, out of wedlock babies, and attitude isn’t limited to just Black women, but they lead other groups of women in obesity and out of wedlock child births.

Personally I haven’t had problem finding a Black woman who didn’t have that problem, but playing the field I can tell you I saw way more fat baby mamas than attractive, respectable, and professional Black women.

His cowardly little Jap azz better hide!

@Nurse La

Though I don’t like overweight women, I would pick the first option. I’m not superficial enough to pick the second woman. I care more about character than weight. If the first woman was willing to drop a few pounds and improve her health, I would give her a chance.

Why do they have to be homeboys? That implies I hang around hood n*ggaz, which I don’t. But I do encourage condom use. Do you encourage sisters to use birth control? Last time I checked it was free.

Ok. I like your answer- – it shows that you are willing to compromise.

@Carmen…you made some great points. It’s like we just can’t win; many bm say we’re fat, ignorant, & have attitudes & don’t like weaves. Ok, then they talk bad about us if our hair is short & complain when we are educated & self sufficient that we are stuck up & need to be willing to lower our standards if we want a brother on our level. Then we are critized for getting with thugs & brothers that are thugs….it’s like no matter WHAT we do we’re wrong.

1st off this whole thing shows just how weak black women are,a petition,all the racist comments towards a japanese man shows why people arent attracted to you….like Reallynotinterested said black men wouldnt give a shyt,and guess what there wouldnt be anyone coming to our defense,which is so dumb to do because somebody said you werent attractive,it didnt say you werent good looking,just not attractive,and guess what as soon as you open your mouths you prove the survey right

@Really not interested is Prisoner aka joint bit*h.

He has anus vjajay! His sole interest is men and has no desire for women in a natural way. He is scared of white men and black females are his competition. Leave him to a beckster they enjoying getting their azz hole ripped out. Prisoner’s knows its nothing he can do with or for a female…but borrow a tampon.

Like children, why do many women not understand the concept of balance. You either go from one a extreme to the other. The women (regardless of race) who are “winning” understand balance.

You can be self sufficient, educated, and beautiful all the while searching for a mate. A lot Black women think all those things makes them perfect and everyone must bow down to them. I guess because they obtained those attributes “against all odds”?

Seriously lower the egos.

Same for some of the brothas. They think they’re Gods gift once they achieve a thing or two also.

This where the two bump heads. And every other person in the race becomes either a thug or baby mama.

Yep that’s Prisoner…aka prison bit*h he was locked down along time…he likes male bodies…and you know his issue..ok

Now you got two prison bit*he’s telling females they should not object to insults. Joint brothers your not in jail we do that outside ok. Go read your black mooslum book and sneak off with your dude. Prison bit*he’s lol

Black men certainly feels that way.statictics does show that black men are either married to other race womwn or in relationships with them and its not even just with white women any more it all other cultures,and races rather than black women.we are on the bottom of the totum pole no other race are attractive to us,not even black men im not saying all of them but studies show that black are in the higher percentage of dating other women than black women

If Yu-Gi-Oh doesn’t like black women, then good riddance because I azzure you black women ain’t checking for him. There’s too much other deliciousness going on in the world.

i was wrong when i thought this was a blacks only site,seems half or more of the people on here are whites and other races pretending to be black.what the hell you people have abc,cbs,fox,nbc,etc,. why come here and other black blogs?

What stats are you reading ? There are major difference between misleading stats and real life ! Anyway if we are so un- attractive why are so many races, racing for our black genes. You can’t find black women unattractive and breed with black men. Our features are too strong ! It does not make sense. Think about it ! We are unattractive but they are lining up in groves for our bloods. I don’t know where some of you all live, but where I live black on black love double out number interracial dating. Stop falling for that stats bs & what you see on tv ! Just because they give the impression in your tel-lie-vision, and white man stats means nothing. They also have you thinking all white women are beautiful, small noses & blue-eyed, but we know thats not the case. They portray their women in a different light ! They don’t put the fat, stanky trailor park women on tv, but they will the big fat black women ! Wake up people !

Black women will still worship this man though. That’s how patheic black women are.

Black women seek validation from non-black men, so when this asian male wrote this, black women got a dagger thorugh the heart. Black women can’t live without validation from non-black males. That’s why black women are evil towards black men. The more black men move towrads white women the better.

Icould care less about the what the man said, but I think Psychology Today should have either censored or disclaimed him. Most black men, at least the ones I see, seem to love black women and vice versa – fat, thin, short, tall, etc. This fool’s comments shouldn’t make us turn on ourselves.

Black women worship this man lol. When and where have you ever found any race of women worshiping and raving over an Asian man ! He threw us under the bus to make the men of his race feel better. Who’s checking for Asian men black, white, purple, or yellow .

It seems to me, black men are seeking validation from other races. You comment is a.s.s. backwards. You are the one on here acting like the white- women makes the black men feel high and mighty. If thats not seeking validation, I don’t know what is !! Looks like you just ate your own comment and proved my point !

I usually stay out of these sort of posts but this is for the ppl saying blk men dont want blk women because of their weight issues—-if thats true why is it that 95% of the white women that black men are with are some big whale looking bytches????

Every aspect of a black woman’s “being” is highly sought after. For example white women currently, at least in the United States, are obsessed with tanning. To have brown skin is highly prized. Second, full lips, a hallmark of black women, is also highly prized so much so that people actually undergo surgery or other cosmetic procedure to achieve that look. A full round buttocks has become so prized that indeed women, again many white, are both exercising to achieve this look and or having surgery.

Black women also do no wrinkle as fast or in the same manner was white women. A 30 or 40 year old black woman will look 5 to 10 years younger than the same aged white woman thus having the highly sought after youthful look.

So here is my point the ” objective data” on attractiveness is based on basis toward black women as a race and not their “objective beauty” which as I have outlined above is actually sought after and prized. This issue of racism is not separable from his “data”.

If that’s his opinion, that’s fine, but don’t try to make it science. And if you are, at least conduct the study correctly, so it can be truth.

Stop presenting myths as facts.
Otherwise, cite your sources.

@Hannibal

When did you get out?

I see you didn’t make any moves to educate yourself while you were locked up.

Oh and Kim Kardashian has a fake a$$, fake boobs, etc. but somehow that makes her a-okay? Riiiight. The level of hypocrisy on this website is staggering.

marquis de sade- Look like a man money
Lil Wayne- monkey
Baby- Monkey
Chad O- monkey

Any black man I can think of look like a monkey !
all black men look like monkeys !
If I am lying i’m dying ! You can’t tell me yall don’t look monkeish !

Kaya

Was it somethin’ I said?

Is there any denying what I said ?
All the people I named don’t look like monkeys ? Black men don’t look like monkeys ? You on here calling us out lets face a few other facts ! Do black men resemble monkeys YES or NO ???????????

LMAO…so I wasn’t the only one who thought you were in the pokey? You want to know how we knew? It’s very simple really. When an arrogant, self-hatin’ black man such as yourself comes up missing, he is automically a$$umed to be locked up or dead….and since you are back, we can pretty much rule out dead.

YES OR NO monkey boy
plies

fabolous
soulja boy
the list goes on and on like a sad song ctfu now answer the question monkey !!

@Withallhonesty….That’s exactly what I mean. It’s ok for a bm to say he doesn’t want a woman that overweight, has a weave, & has an attitude….But if we have things in a man that we do/ don’t want then we’re stuck up & think we’re “all that”! When other women do it it’s ok…it’s just a double standard. You call it balance, but in all actuality it’s like walking on eggshells, if we’re not just perfect then we automatically fit the stereotype.

@Fear of a black nation It’s not about us being “weak” it’s about us being sick & tired of being stereotyped, judged, & portrayed as inferior all the time!

Unbelievable. . .in a thread about a petition campaign to protest the scientifically and racially offensive a-s-s-e-r-t-i-o-n-s of an evolutionary psychologist who has been the center of controversy and dissension on more than one occasion, black women are, once again, denigrated. Believe me, I, and I’m sure many of the women who visit this blog, are more than aware of the disdain that a number of you hold for us, but please try to restrain yourselves from further spewing vitriol when it is undeserved and unwarranted.

And it’s obvious that some of you who display the highest degree of negativity haven’t bothered to further investigate the basis of highly disputed “study” or the backl-a-s-h it has generated, including from seasoned members of the field of psychology. Allow me to take a moment to gather a few links and e-x-c-e-r-p-t-s from articles that offer intellectually sound objections. And then I would like to share some personal thoughts with my sisters.

@Prisoner aka really not interested you a really men gay man. You can get a vajayay but you can’t get a uterus. You should make friends with females like the zesty ones do. All of the big fatty flat cakes white females I know have black gay husband’s try that they will give you babies too. Berate her and give her babies and keep your boyfriend. Black females are on to your dumb azz

People are not being offended or hypersensitive; the article itself was just too stupid to even get those types of feelings.

What people are upset about, is how poorly it was done and how ridiculous it was to even consider writing on the subject such as attractiveness of one ethnicity/race. He may say it is scientific findings… but he completely did not factor in many things, such as social influences, geology, age, specifications etc. Basically just a number of things. If he wanted to talk about testosterone in females, then he could have done that… still if he was trying to push the agenda that it was Black wo/men being different from that alone, it still would have made him look like a fool. Currently he looks like a jack@ss, and as stated before, this isn’t the first time people countered his so-called “scientific findings”.

Here is a rebuttal that was published the same week of the original article on Psychology Today by Dr. Mikhail Lyubansky (I believe I’ve already posted this link once, but it bears repeating):

psychologytoday.com/blog/between-the-lines/201105/beauty-may-be-in-eye-beholder-eyes-see-what-culture-socializes

“The point is that there are also group differences, not in attractiveness (as Kanazawa claims), but in cultural messages about what is and is not attractive. Standards of beauty, like most other beliefs, are socialized and change not only from place to place but also over time. In both the United States and England, (where Kanazawa lives and works), standards of beauty are es-sentially “White” standards, because whites comprise the majority of the population and have disproportional control over both media and fashion. And while it is not just White respondents who are socialized this way (internalized racism has been well documented), it is certainly the case that White Americans and Europeans (who are les-s likely to have received more positive mes-sages about Black beauty) would show the strongest anti-Black bias.”

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Preferring a healthy, childless, weaveless woman is pretty basic. I mean there are quite a few Black women out there who fit this. I mean other men of other races have this preference. It wasn’t that long ago when most Black women didn’t wear weaves, were healthy or in shape, and didn’t have children from previous relationships or sexual encounters.

LOL… are you really trying to compare that basic list to the list to the ones some Black women (like Chili of TLC) have/had?

And why try to make this racial. I stated women(regardless of race) who have balance are the ones who win.

this chink is crazy

We need to start getting rid of all the self hatred like magister, because they are now the source of the problem

LMAO, HEY SEPIA!

As has already been mentioned, the issue isn’t whether this is one man’s opinion on attractivenes-s, the problem comes when flawed and methodologically unsound science is being used to promote derogatory stereotypes about a particular group — in this case, black women. There have been similar attempts to p-a-s-s off racist beliefs about the intelligence of black men and women (re: “The Bell Curve,” for instance) over generations. As I’ve seen mentioned a number of times online in the p-a-s-t week, other groups, such as Jews, have been targeted by so-called scientists, and those findings were used to justify widescale subjugation and brutality. When science is used to try to prove the inferiority of or alienate a certain population, it becomes a dangerous tool that may be used as a footstool for further insidious hypotheses that have no logical foundation.

In short, we cannot afford to be silent in instances such as these, and silence may be taken as tacit acceptance of these “findings” as undisputable truth. And, in this case, there were many individuals — acros-s racial/ethnic lines (men included) — who responded swiftly and effectively to this latest instance of science being used to cloak what is, in essence, a racial offense.

Signed it.

All the self-haters are the problem like weak black men that’s why everyone else is attacking our women. You’ll never catch that Asian man bashing his women, even though his women prefer white men. All the self hating blacks must go the men and women.

The worst part about this is not that it’s one mans opinion. The fact is that this man tried to say that it is “Scientific Fact” which brings this one mans opinion to a whole new level!

Don’t talk about black women, or the black owmen mafia will get you..

maybe all these dumb a$$ gossip sites should be petitioned next

Welps…It looks like I posted too late.

And wanting a man with a job and ambition is pretty basic as well yet we are critisized for it. And be honest, I bet if a black woman said she wanted a man with a 6pack or didn’t want a man that wore braids you’d say she was being picky. And it’s funny how the men who complain about weaves are usually the same ones that will talk bad about women with short or natural hairstyles like like dreads and go crazy over a woman with long flowing hair.

I mean really, it’s not like a weave defines you & it’s not permanent it’s hair, it’s like an accessory. Men don’t seem to have a problem w/ fake nails which all women get and more & more white women are wearing weaves/ wigs & but still we are the only ones criticized for it.

And I mention race because that IS what we’re talking about I mean, that’s what the article is about ya know? lol

To all the bytches up in here actin’ all outraged n’ shyt, y’all should be thankin’ BOSSPIP for exercizin a lil’ restraint and tact…Afterall they could’ve placed a side by side photo of WHOOPI & FANTASIA insteada’ that fine azz mulatto hoe.

I wouldn’t because I have a career, a low cut, and 6 pack.

And I don’t think good health, an age appropriate look, and a job isn’t too much to ask for.

There is nothing wrong with a weave. I have no issue with them for the most part. But these super long hair extensions, outrageous colors, the extreme heights and textures are ridiculous.

When I mentioned women and balanced, I was referring to women as a whole, not just Black women. Isn’t it the Black women on this site who constantly complain about being targeted?! Can’t win with y’all.

Show ya some respect and ya still mad LMAO.

Why so upset black women? Somebody had to come in last place

Nephew Ruskus face the stone cold facts black women are coming first where it counts in the black community going to college, university, getting degrees and bachelors degrees.Sadly we need to take a hard look at where the black men are gangs, prisons and drop outs-FIRST.

Black ppl r the beginning & the end we r kings & queens everyone is scared as shyt 4 us 2 find out our true heritage but its in the Bible! They promote mixing if races 2 try & do away w the black family. I feel u love who u love but they r pushing an agenda but they don’t push that same agenda on the royal family hmmm… PSYCHOLOGY TODAY IS FAKE SCIENCE I KNOW MANY EDUCATED BEAUTIFUL LOVING HARD WORKING BLACK WIFE’S & MOTHERS SO THE STEREOTYPE SHOWN ON TV SHOWS & INTERNET IS PROTRAYED THAT WAY ON PURPOSE DUHHH!!

I think black women are the most attractive in the world and overwhelmingly black men feel that way the problem is many of these women chase the validation of ‘other’. Well hey they get to like what they like.

uuuummmm, because he LIED. Go take a look at the actually documented numbers from Ad Health THEN come back and post your comment. He LIED and tried to make it appear that way but the REAL #’s don’t appear that way. We are on average with all the other groups. He intentionally manipulated the statistics, which was totally unjust and just plain wrong. He knew fully well what he was doing.

black women do have the worst attitude.
