I’m proud of the pushback against this type of art. Black women are starting to ask for better. And it’s making some people uncomfortable. Don’t let them silence you! We’re allowed to not want this. We want better, different portrayals of us. Enough.

Fr! The way he looked at her at the end was way more confrontational than how she glanced at him. I feel like he’s abusive, I’m scared for her tbh :(
@BlackFilmandTV
I’m proud of her but why say “first black” when she’s not. It’s disingenuous to give her this historic groundbreaking title when we know she’s biracial, and being mixed with white helps in this industry. We still only have 1 black woman to win. Viola. Don’t erase her white side

Nah she really did.. Besides yelling at Tiffany for no reason, she targeted Kenya for her weight the entire show.. Dont forget how she treated Yaya who was the most confident person I’ve ever seen on antm. Tyra was so intimidated by her and tried to bring her down.

Any type of bonding adhesive that has the strength to withstand the elements for up to a month is not safe or healthy to be used on the skin or hair like this, regularly. This is common sense y’all.
I was in this Facebook group for black women and they were all amazing. Until someone brought up the topic of dating outside your race and damn near all of them were divesters. Lmao I ain’t never reported a group so fast in my life 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tl sleep? A bm hit on me today and said “i like how respectful you are. Black women don’t respect black men. They really don’t.” It irked me... I guess he thought i was a pick me? He was so bold with saying it too...
This reminds me of a tweet i saw that said how there’s too much familiarity bm have for bw. They really feel entitled to our space and bodies. Like they can grab us, talk to us any kind of way etc. These two are complete strangers.
@GirlGoldened
Right 🤣 she dropped out of her professional career for this dude. Apparently they knew each other as teens and i have to think, if she was the one in prison would he have mustered up the strength to do all this for her? She could’ve had a high value man taking care of her 🤦🏾♀️

This runs deeper than being a “black thing” this is a serious self hate issue with this individual. It’s one thing to be aware of the beauty standards, but it’s another to be shocked and dismayed when someone calls you pretty. We do not all relate to this.

@LushLife243
@BGOnTheScene
Yes but sadly the bc has an issue with role reversal where the woman protect and defend the men while the men hide under our skirts and say things like “if we see danger we’ll tell y’all what to do” pathetic!
I have no issue with drawing fat black women. Yes there are fat black women. And they are gorgeous. This image however to me, does not encapsulate beauty. It does not convey gorgeous. It feels like a mockery of black women, to me.
@SheSpeakDaTruth
I wasn’t gonna reply but this comment pissed me off. You know this is false. Dark skin bw get the brunt of colorism, come on now. Dark skin men are often glorified and uplifted in the blk community for being “more masculine”.
Y’all wanna talk about who needs to rebrand their image.. Can she just sing the song, look cute and go? 🥺still preaching the sjw rhetoric, muling, and protecting the bm.. but just got shot by one.
@MionneDestiny_

@2p0_Pod
Noo she was only taking up space that could’ve been for an actual bw. She did it for financial and personal gain. It was deceiving, and manipulative (using colorism to her advantage of how lighter bw are treated).
To my black baddies: dark skin, fat, skinny, slim thick, chubby. You DONT look like this. This is an exaggerated “abstract” depiction. Even women who “look like this” don’t look like this. And you don’t have to accept this as your image.

White supremacy started it but black ppl also play a hand at perpetuating negative thoughts about our hair. We have to hold ourselves accountable too. It’s many of us who attack each other for our own hair (giving other races a green light to do the same)

@jordanevassell
I’m not telling you how to think but as a fellow ds bw at LEAST stay on code.. You don’t have publicly co-sign and support this humiliation of another ds bw. sad to see

And then you got ole girl saying “i don’t agree with apppropriating asain cultures either cuz we know how it feels” like how you gonna cape for them and complain at the same time 🤦🏾♀️

They don’t care. The collective of bm enjoy being fetishized and ride that bbc wave like it’s nobodies business. They love that stereotype. Going to protests talking about “your daughter love every inch of us” stop telling grown men where to put their dicks. They aren’t children

No it’s not “very common”. Stop being dishonest. If it was very common for black folk to have type 2-3 hair then we wouldn’t make such a big deal of it when we see it in person. On average, the most common trait for black people is type 4 or kinky hair. Let’s just keep it real.

That doesn’t mean he gets to use our image for this. It’s his book. It’s his opinions. He needs to use his own face. Black women did not consent to being the poster child for this political agenda. This is putting a target on dark skin black womens backs
@_ayannaE
So you think we want to be represented as a light skin woman with a bbl? That’s interesting. Do you find that image more attractive than this one? Oh okay. See if it was y’all image being dragged thru filth you wouldn’t have an issue. But when it’s a dark skin woman it’s ok
@thewayoftheid
Majority of black women have children out of wedlock. The community actually tells Black women marriage isn’t necessary. Like what you’re doing. Pure indoctrination
if you want people to be held accountable for their colorism, then you must refrain from jumping through hoops in giving them the benefit of the doubt at the expense of dark-skinned folks. it isn't your place to choose a convenient context for being enraged over colorism either.

@Chris_Topper
It’s been this way for a while 🤷🏾♀️ let it burn and divest. Cuz we all know bw are going to be the first to feel the brunt of everything
@traceekapree
@aaronronel
It’s not tacky.. it’s knowing her worth. We always preach about knowing what you are worth on this app, but now it’s tacky that this successful bw who produced millions for a company,ask for an extra ticket (which she was given btw, it just didn’t work upon entrance,embarrassing)
@damekayla
Genuinely, it’s bc you are making us look desperate and weirdly possessive. It’s none of our business. Bm don’t belong to us. We don’t own them. Ppl can date who they want! when u beg this question it comes off like bw are triggered at interracial dating. Let them have them! ❤️

Nah with all do respect u really don’t have a leg in this convo. As a white man you don’t get to say. She’s mixed/biracial . We reject the one drop rule. Blackness isn’t a dumping ground.
@SwshrSweetie
@spanishlalaby
@highendtheori
Well she is a mixed woman first off. Secondly while i don’t agree with bringing anyone down, i will say that dark skin black women should be propped up as the main face of black womanhood. The average black woman looks like keke Palmer, normani, Kelly Rowland. Not Tracee
@Leeyah_patts
@kianamaiart
Dark skin black girls don’t get a lot of representation. With the little that we do see ourselves portrayed thru the media, we are masculinized. It’s healthy and necessary to call out what young black girls see, and balance it with other images too.
@_ayannaE
@luveyaw
Respectfully you are a thin, light skin black woman. This is very on brand.. This image doesn’t effect you in any way. And when a dark skin woman says she doesn’t like it, you try to say i should accept it. We’re peep the game now, jig is up.

Exactly!! Like wtf IS this?? She thanks 2 yt men for helping out and y’all are crucifying her saying she doesn’t deserve to be protected? I can’t even breathe rn omg
@Deedee_231
Exactly! They do see us as women and I’m tired of that trope.. We are most definitely seen as women, that is why we are sex trafficked the most out of all races of women. :/
@thotcrime3
Thank you for touching on this. I was just told today that i am slut shaming for thinking that new political advert “get your booty to the polls” was inappropriate representation for us, and we should feel insulted that this is the way they choose to reach out to the black comm.

@haydeee_m
this meme is hilarious but it has nothing to do with what i said. How am i coming to her rescue? Let her have him . I’m just saying we don’t need her crumbs. “He needs a black kween” like y’all .. he chose who he chose all he needs is her apparently.
And no we don’t always have to be pretty. But i see so much of *this* and not enough of the latter, being pushed to the forefront. There should be representation of this type all black women. But why are you fighting for this type of exaggeration to be the face?
And to close: For the light skin and non black women telling me to stop. No. I will not. I will always fight for the best portray of MY likeness. This is my image. Not yours.
@Fanm_Anbisye
@confusedandokay
No sorry, the post is literally just saying he made an exception for this woman. He never said he’s not colorist anymore. The whole post is just saying how despite his distaste for dark skin, she’s worthy of him. That’s all.
@JasminCamille
@jkiyomi
Girl she was so nice. She said “i have type 4 hair so i think I’ll pass”... i can’t believe how many of y’all are fighting tooth and nail for this mixed girl rn it’s a sad look :/
@nellow__
I love it when mixed/biracial people can admit this. I will never tell someone how to identify but the bottom line is NO we are not the exact same.
@Deedee_231
Very true. Chrissies vids really opened my eyes when she touched on this, and said how a lot of these girls self esteem rides on the fact that ppl uplift ambiguity. If bw weren’t constantly being put down, they would have nothing to stand on.
@JordanSumbu
I’m actually really freaking shocked. I went thru the replies, the quoted tweets, everything. Not ONE colorist comment. People just really hate dark skin black women....
@marcelineFsteel
It’s embarrassing. It reeks of self hate and envy for other races of women. These are not normal compliments at all.. it’s just bw basically admitting they want another woman’s hair. “I need these bundles😩” like its weird and gives these non blk women an unnecessary ego boost.
@bigfellaella
If they want them then let them be. We gotta stop telling black men where to put their junk. They are grown men we gotta stop treating them like children. Bw look desperate as hell begging these dudes to stay away from other women 😭🤦🏾♀️

No there is definite a racist undertone during this part of the video. This was absolutely heartbreaking, and triggering for little dark skin black girls (i was picked on like this by white/Asian people too). If this video had proper representation there would be 2 black girls.

In my experience they seem to be more comfortable with the token black stereotype. Bc it’s what they see in the media so they think it’s our place. I’m quiet too and seen as intimidating

Social media and the media in general is powerful as hell, and it influences people’s thoughts and perceptions. These are real people getting thousands and thousands of retweet’s and likes, all at the expense of black womens self esteem. We’re gonna continue to call it out
