end Women seem to always be in search of something and this applies to all women of all races.Look at the amount of money White women spend on trying to look 25 forever.Black women drop billions of dollars a year on their hair and Asians are flocking to plastic surgeons to get theie eyes “fixed”.Society in general keeps women in a perpetual state of “wanting”.I feel for those women and Black women in general who always want what they don’t have.Black women are taught to desire long straight flowing hair and this is why they buy it by the billions and making it blonde is just icing on the cake.We can buy any type of hair we want but we always go for silky straight because we know that fitting into the Europeanized standard of beauty will get us so much farther than being out Black selves ever will.Beyonce, Kim, Eve and Mary are all symbols of Black self hatred, not pride.I think if each one of them could be all out white they would.We know this is true of Kim because she ruined what was an other wise beautiful Black face to look like a Barbie doll only to end up looking like a disfigured monster.

You said it all right there and that collage of images of Beyonce and Little Kim is sobering. :bag:
White folks are definitely laughing.One need only hit up all those White blogs to see what is being said about Beyonce’s blonde wig in particular.I think Dlisted or some other site has a close up of Beyonce’s wig and the comments from those Whites is very telling when it comes to what they think of us in general but also what they think of people like Beyonce and other women who go out of their way to have straight blonde weaves or wigs as opposed to something similar to their own texture.
IN REFERENCE TO BEYONCE STILL IRREPLACEABLE BLOG:
There is a lot of drama going back and forth about skin color, who’s black, who’s keeping it real, who’s trying to be white, Beyonce is selling out trying to be white bla bla bla!
This whole thing with skin color and the perception of black people being ugly jet black with big wide noses and big pink lips, nappy kinky hair was started by white people as a way to degrade and dehumanize blacks. Their whole veiw of the black image was grossly over exaggerated, labeling us as coons, porch monkeys bufoons etc. This put us in a very negative light. Unfortunately some of us still carry that bagage with us today due to white america’s brain washing.
