[QUOTE]Originally posted by KING: [QB] meninarmer You have made a good point and I credit you for breaching this hardly spoken of problems. Its not just Black women who have image problems. White women believe they have to get big breast like Black women through surgery. They tan there skin to the point that they get cancer, and They also thicken there lips and buttocks to have the "Ideal" figure. Both of these woman, are hammered with ideas from man on what is Beautiful. In Blacks it's a light skined "Red Bone" girl with "Good" Hair. In whites it's a Bronzed skined thick lipped women with Blonde Hair. We see the tricks we men play on these women, and they bend over backwards to accomodate our Fantasies about Women. Since I don't know the ebony magazines directly I will take your word on them promoting skin bleaching. This is truly sad because these mags are supposed to empower black men and women, instead they promote self hate. What can be done is form a magazine line that is blunt and to the point about these issues in the Black Community. Speak about the skin bleaching and shed some light on why Blacks are bleaching there skin. I think If a Popular African American mag spoke up about these issues and made ebony embarassed to have these ads then and only then will there be healing. We need to talk about issues that affect Black Women and White Women equally. Which is the pressure to conform to mans Ideas of Beauty. Women need to be brave in this fight and stand up and make themselves accounted for. One solution is for Africans to speak up about there skin color and to create shows that show the dark skined women and men. I watch a little of BET(Not much) and all I see is light skinned men and women. It's as if they are afraid to show the Darker men/women. All the music videos to me is just a huge disaster, all women are portrayed as skimpy clothed whoreish and slutty. Black kids should not be watching BET. Plain and simple. What Kids should be watching is programs that empower them and show them that there skin color is beautiful and not ugly, That there is nothing they cannot accomplish. That the Afro is equally as pretty as straight hair. That being Thick is not something to be considered ugly. Black children are a minority with power. They can run there own TV stations and put out stuff about the history and achivements of there ancestors. Show dark skinned AA in positions of power and strength. Discuss serious topics like where the Black Youth is heading and what can be done to empower black youth, to see that they can change this corrupt sinful society for the better. I will say this Africans have spawned the music(Pop, Hip Hop) that has made it to every country on earth. Africans have made the dreadlocks a fashion for all "races". Black Youth really do not know just how much power they have. The world waits on African Americans to continue to show what is "Cool" or "Hip". This is when Blacks should look to empower there own people and use there influence to show that Bleaching your skin is wrong and selfhate has no place in there community. Take pride in your hair and skin color. Show these people that Thick Lips, Round Booty, Dark skin, is beautiful and that you are beautiful the way God made you. Peace [/QB][/QUOTE]
