When black people say that black women are the most beautiful women in the world........that's their opinion and it's not throwing other races under the bus. And why shouldn't black people think otherwise. As far as black women wearing weave and other accessories to appear more European, we gotta realize how badly we all (men and women) have been brainwashed to think our own features are bad. Back then black men were even perming their hair to straighten it. We've all fell victim to the "white is right" mentality. There are so many cases of men and women bleaching their skin and doing everything to appear LESS than what they were born as many of us even speak differently around others. And then our own people will accuse us of "sounding white" when it happens but it's just proper English. We are even ridiculed for getting good grades and trying to give ourselves a better chance to succeed in the world we live in which was obviously not designed to allow us the freedom to do so. Crabs in a bucket mentality runs wild in our communities. Why? We have been conditioned to perpetually keep each other down.
The mental damage is much deeper than folks understand, we live in a world (America) where Black men and women are having a daily identity crisis, we're all mentally traumatized and for some the cycle never ends and is carried on to the children. To the point where we name our children whiter names so they won't be bypassed when turning in job applications. So many things play a part in why we are so mixed up today.
And we fight each other constantly, some to prove who's blacker, more conscious, more of a "real nigga" prettier, smarter and so on. Time to wake up. We didn't start the sickness we all suffer from but we can end it.
