For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
I just want to say Black Beauty Still Exists! This one is for all us Black Women who have felt less than beautiful. Who have been discriminated against because of our complexions. Miss Angola, a gorgeous Black African Princess just won Miss Universe!!
Now I don't know why I am so happy. I think I'm happy in a "in your face America" kind of way.
Earlier today, I was watching the T.O. Show and Kita decided to jump in a bikini contest judged by Terrell Owens. He later said to her "why you think you can compete with all those Latina's, Italians, and Cuban Women?" I took it personally for some reason. Like a Black Woman can't compete with a woman from another race.
But F*CK THAT! A real African Woman just beat out all them "Exotics" from around the World! And this is what a collection of people around the WORLD find beautiful. This is who will represent beauty for the UNIVERSE!
So to that I say, take that T.O.! Take that! To everyone that for some reason doesn't appreciate our beauty and believe that Black Beauty still exists and is very much alive!! Congrats Leila Lopes Miss Universe 2011. You are an inspiration to Black Beauties Everywhere

@Tone what are African features, please tell me because Africa had and still does have hundreds of tribes. Amongst these tribes which historians had noted and documents by slave traders there were many differences in these tribes such as customs, physicality and languages, patois is derived from all the African tribes that were mixed together in Jamaica. In some tribes like the pygamy people they were tiny and have small features, small noses, European features as you put it. They are still around today, It has also been documented that the Fulani tribe which could be found in Nigeria had a fairer complexion than the other African tribes and that their features were similar to Europeans. Europeans have broad noses, does that mean they have African ancestry..... no, why do you think we have plastic surgeons. Europeans have put pressure on their own damn selves to comply with an idealised look that they themselves can't even fulfil. I am not saying this woman does not have any European ancestry because she is very likely to, especially since Portugal were all over Africa and then sent Africans to Brazil. Mexicans, Puerto Ricans almost every Latino country have European ancestry but when people say they are very attractive you hardly ever hear someone say it's because they have European features.

My Nigerian American boyfriend's sisters all have smaller features like her. Two are really dark with perfect skin, one is a little lighter than me with the same features. There are some larger noses in their family, but most of them have a very "keen" nose. Seeing that there's a lot of non-black blood in my heritage, I have the biggest nose and butt out of all of them. They're closer to the genetic source of my blackness, yet I fit the stereotype in the nose and body. Black is black. She could have blonde eyes and blue hair, once someone finds out she has a drop of black ancestry, she's black. Don't make it about her facial features.

Permalink Reply by Eleven8 on September 13, 2011 at 12:49pm I never said that all Africans share the same features. My point is when will we see a black woman win that has bigger lips a wide nose and darker skin. All things that have been called and made ugly by white men.
