Not sure, but all things considered my first guess would be that it's something you drew/painted. The figure's demeanor and disposition being reflective of your own. Or, just a drawing you are particularly proud of for some set of reasons.

It just means that I like Yoshitaka Amano's art.

love his lines. I am actually obsessed with lines and drawing only line drawings in pen.

I also like Egon Schiele's style of drawing (but what he drew the most was less to be desired-teen girls).

Fraggle rock was the shit.

Oh I was just guessing, looked like work from Amano.

I got the first season on DVD for Christmas as a joke from my sister (she thought it was a joke, I was generally happy to get it). I was watching it the last couple days, and I kinda felt like the characterization of Junior Gorg was pretty racist. Is this just me being a stereotypically racially hypersensitive white guy?

Oh, I haven't seen it since I was little. I'd have to watch some episodes now.

Something that I've noticed: why is there hardly any black sportsman dating or married to a black woman? I'm all for interracial relationships but this is disproportionately so when it comes to sportsmen. Even when they cheat and sleep with a dozen women, they are always white. Anyone else notice this?

I think Iman was married to a baller before she married Bowie, but other than that I can't think of anyone else. Not that I'm an expert on athlete marriages or anything, so yeah, you bring up an interesting question.

The standard of beauty in western society is the white woman. So if you become rich, you're more than likely going to bang white women. Honestly though, men in general are more likely to have sex with, or marry a white woman than any other woman in this country. There's just so damn many of them.

When I was a kid, we couldn't afford bacon very often. I developed a hardcore love for the stuff based on it's perceived scarcity. Now I'm older and successful (relatively), I eat a fucking ton of bacon.

I saw somewhere that there's quite a bunch of black sportsman married to black women, you just don't see them in the press as often as the black/white couples.

to be honest, I would love to date a black man. But the black men I usually incounter that aren't already taken, have nothing going for them. No job, no education, no goals, got a baby mama, no car, no place of their own, and or bat shit insane lol. I guess have have to move to find a decent guy for myself.

But these black women are still getting knocked up - undermining the suggestion that one of the reasons [of which there are many put out there] for why there are so many single black women is that the men are not up to their standards. Well, clearly they're good enough to sleep with and often do so unprotected and clearly the men deem the woman good enough to have sex with.

It's very confusing. Not one explanation holds water.

 

[Londa]

Its not about if black women are attractive. Its about what a black man feels is marrage material one they get rich. Todays standards are, once you get rich marry a white woman. She doesn't even need to be more attractive than the last black woman they dated. All she needs to be is white. Usually a lot of football groupies are white women.

You'd be surprised how much men lower their standards for easy sex.

I don't think its even when they get rich. In my case, I dated black women, but I married a white woman. However, that's partly because I work in an industry (comics) where there aren't a lot of black women around.

The whole premise of a trophy wife is that you married her for status, one based beauty hence why 'young and attractive' wives for much older men are put into this category. If you recognise that there is status involved, then what is it based on if not beauty? I'm not sure if this purely an issue of beauty, as I said before black people have no problem having sex with each other. I agree it's more about persona: if a black women cannot marry a black man because he is on welfare from his mother or the state, then what flaw is there within the female populace for black men to look elsewhere?

Your example is bad. And far from what I mean or said. You have never seen a white groupie looking like the first image. Come on, man.

No but alot of average blackmen date the first image...I've seen this at malls, Wal-mart...the list goes on...I think a good number of posts in this thread have good points on the situation.


It can very much come down to what the "idea" of beauty is and something that has been programmed into the sub-conscious minds dating centuries back.


On some Willy Lynch ish....break the spirit teaching blacks to hate themselves.

I'm still going with the belief that there's just too many white women. That's backed by black people being unconsciously conditioned towards the white standard of female beauty and attractiveness. Thus you could think black women are attractive, but if there's 20 white women and 5 black women in your dating pool, you're more likely to end up marrying a white woman.

My opinion in this debate of the 'perception' of beauty is simple. It's not about the colour of the skin or what shade it is, but rather the facial features. This obviously includes hair. The hair product industry is dominated by black female consumers despite making up a small portion of the population. See the documentary Good Hair for more on this. The facial features that are deemed attractive in regards to women, I personally feel, is almost universal the same way the waist-to-hip ratio/breast cup size factor is. If you look at photographs of beautiful women, most of them share similar facial traits.

On a related note, this isn't the first time a gender of an ethnicity has caused a similar debate. I've read East-Asian men complain at the lack of attention they get from non East-Asian women.

it's not ridiculous. Skin color and wanting their kids to "have good hair" are pretty big reasons.

it is ridiculous, but that's what people do anyway.

Exactly....hating on yourself, felling your own image isn't good enough. I am generally speaking on that type of mentality.


I remember an article stating a fan's run in with Lil Wayne backstage....saying he felt a certain way towards dark skinned women...saying things backstage like "She fine but I bet that b**** looks better red"....and "My daughter is the last dark skinned child I'm going to have"....I can see Wayne talking like this....but the sad thing is its reality....a true mental state being carried around.

I disagree, because black women do not have all big noses and nappy hair. My sister has straighter hair than me and she is darker than me. If we were going by your opinion she would have nappy hair and a big nose. lol

There are both ugly white women and ugly black women. There is no ratio saying that on a adverage there are more pretty white women then pretty ugly women. Going by the ration of black women as a whole. Not the actual number of black women. Since we know for a fact that there are less black women than white women because African American's are minorities.

I'm not going to lie, I do love the fact that I can run my fingers through my wife's hair, pull it, smell it, etc. Her hair is beautiful, and its stupidly easy to manage. Black women's hair is a sticking point on a lot of levels, and again, its an example of the white standard of beauty at work. Every time I see a black woman go "natural" I smile a bit, because that's the way it should be. The owners of the black hair industry are exploitative as hell.

As for East Asian men... LoL!

The hair point is a complaint black mothers have. Interestingly, it seems more common to see a black man with a white wife than a white man with a black wife. But black men don't care what hairstyle their kids are going to have. If you have an equally attractive black women (compared to a white girl), then how rational is it to say that they'll choose the white girl simply because she has white skin? You're indirectly accusing these black men of some hardcore racism. Shit, even racists have their views because they class behaviour with skin colour but in this case you're suggesting black men don't like black women simply because their skin colour is X and not Y. That makes -20 sense.

Its called self hate sweetheart. Being told you are ugly for decades does that to you. Why do they call black women bitches but not white women bitches? come on, now..

Black women hate their hair, let's just be honest folks. If someone created a product that made black women's hair like that of white or East Asian women, that guy would be richer than Bill Gates.

This is why I said it has no relevance to skin colour. The colour of your skin doesn't automatically define your facial features. Google image search beautiful black women, they'll all have the same facial features and most of them will have real/fake straight hair.

Of course there are unattractive white women. This supports my point that the shade of your skin doesn't play a part. This complaint about the nose or the hair is more prevalent in some East African cultures. I'm originally from Somali and go to any Somali community and they'll be brutally frank with you about this point - and so would the Eritreans in my experience.

What is funny is, a white celebrity also has fake hair in her head. But no one will question it because their white. I don't know any celebrity that doesn't put fake extentions in their hair. But it's such a big deal when a black woman does it. However, I believe I rather see their natural hair, than a weave or wig. But it isn't true that all beautiful black women have straight noses and are wearing fake hair.
