But what is the ratio in your school? Your job?

Now this is just getting childish.

I happen to think that the ratio is no different than any other race I've observed. But that may be because I was raised around many black women and thus have a healthy perception of them.

But the ratio doesn't matter. If you can admit that even one dark-skinned girl exists that you would consider attractive then your whole point is moot.

 

[harSon]

you dont really have to try and prove why rashida jones might not be black, just looking at her youd never think she was black

and as a person of mixed race i find it offensive that you (and society) can just write me off as a black person

why cant i just be what i am, a person of mixed race?

Because as he said, that's the society that we live in. You're free to identify with whatever you'd like, but in a society where your ethnicity is unfortunately almost entirely dependent on physical features, don't be surprised if you're shoved into a particular box.

Im surprised this hasn't derailed into a hot black women thread.

Yeah, but black folks should be the main ones up in arms over that sort of thing, because it harms them more than any other group. I mean, if Rashida Jones goes for a part in a film vs Danai Gurira, Rashida Jones has the advantage. Its part of the reason Alicia Keys and Rhianna are so hugely popular in music, while chicks like Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia are not.

I take that back, it shouldn't be black people in general, it should be black WOMEN. Black men love this set up because it benefits them completely...

Except in the job market....

The thing is, if you're black you have so many other things to be up in arms about, the ability of black women born of at least one black parent who self-identify as/were raised around/exist in the culture of black people is probably like the 9,000th thing to worry about.

Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia are strictly RnB artists. That does limit their sales potential compared to Rihanna who does more songs with pop appeal. But at the same time, you can't say J-Hud or Fantasia haven't found huge success in their own unique ways, even if their success isn't as a pop-icon.

Rhianna music targets a younger audience. Also, Jennifer Hudson's albums do well... in the US. Internationally, they haven't done too well.

[MWS Natural]

Of course. Which is why the majority of pictures in this thread are full of mixed girls, and the black culture thread had an entire portion of it dedicated to white chicks.

But the majority of this thread ISN'T full of mixed girls unless your definition of "mixed" = any Caucasian genes in their family history. In that case most black people in American are "mixed" lol. Just because someone is lighter-skinned it doesn't mean they are "mixed", that term is used when someone has two parents of different ethnicity.

What view would that be? That I have a preference for Caucasian women? A lot of black guys do. At least I have the balls to admit it.

I have no issue with you saying people have a preference but to say a black man would choose a average white/mixed woman over a hot black woman is just stupid.

 

[BeEatNU]

Asian men and Black women make beautiful babies. So you better get on it, lol.

and vice versa, JP\BLK chicks are the best

 

[Seep]

Pure horse shit. I'm white but I think some black women are bang tidy.

As with all women It don't matter what skin colour, if they're hot they're hot.

 

[Renoir]

We could do ratio for other races as well...
But we were talking about black girls.

the argument tend.to.remind me of
If sean from 3rd strike is really black if hes from brazil...

Black comes in many shades.
White comes in fewer shades
Latin.. Is an ethnicity I don't really consider it a color..
So. If ur black ur black no matter the shade.


I really want to know where that professor is from? And was this study was only made here..

 

[pel1300]

They are visibly Asian, much like Bruce Lee. Angela Basset is part Korean, but she is visibly black. Is this so hard to understand?

the whole point is that you're supposed to use examples which represent the typical asian man.

asian men typically have more round/flat faces, not angular like those hapa guys.

Some of the women posted weren't even African American. I may go back and do a recount if I have the time.

You're pretty hot... for a dark skinned girl...

[Black-Wind]

Oh come now. Are you trying to tell us that your penis doesn't have a sexual preference?

Let's say you come up on a porn website. Said website has a series of links.

White Women
Black Women
Asian Women
(etc for all other races)

Are you telling me that you're just as likely to click on any of those links as any of the others?

Replace the "women" with "men" and you have a stern yes. It really isn't that outlandish to see beauty in all races. My own porn collection favors this. In fact, I wrote a paper in college about the noticeable lack of positive black role models in porn. It's all thug, or extremely queeny. I'd love to see more equality in the porn industry.

But back on topic, it's not that I think people who say "I don't find black women attractive" are racist exactly. I think it's indicative of a narrow-minded, possibly ignorant person more than anything. It's always a bit tacky to make broad statements about an entire race of people, and I think this is true even with physical attraction.

I mean, I can say I've yet to meet an - oh, I dunno - Middle Eastern person I was physically attracted to, but I would never say "I just don't find Middle Eastern men attractive" because who knows? Beauty can be found everywhere, and I've seen examples of really hot Middle Eastern men. I've seen examples of really hot men from ALL races.

A lot of the people in this thread who are saying they don't find black women attractive have admitted that there have been exceptions. Well, if there have, why continue to go around saying something as polarizing (and technically untrue) as, "I just don't find black women attractive"? I don't think that everyone who says this is racist, but I must admit that the tendency for people to constantly feel the need to convey that specific opinion can logically lead to the idea that you are just a tiny bit racist.

I agree with royalan.

Personally I don't care about race in my porn as long as it has what I'm looking for (right now its Dat Nipple - areola combo. Next time it might be ... ass?). When it comes to porn I AVOID its likely the arvg black on black porn (loud mouth thugs and half of it has the same 5 guys that star in everything), anything where the cam-guy/ stud guy talks a lot (STFU dude...), Japan porn-porn (Censored and the annoying screaming) and most web-cam porn

But when I look for porn its based on a feature that I'm looking for. Rarely do I go by race. And when I look for attractive features in women race doesn't factor into it because ... I don't care about it? A pretty woman is pretty regardless of race.

But hell, my taste are all over the place. I have been attracted to girls because they have huge teeth and nothing else I find interesting.

 

[pel1300]

You're denying the obvious fact that most black people are mixed anyway. You think people looked at Obama when he was growing up and said "that mixed race kid is going to be somthing some day". You think anyone that had the predisposition to use the word "nigger" would have hesitated to use it on him back then? Back then... hahah.. hell, what about now? He himself is a self-described black man. If you want to get into the specifics of someone's ancestry then I have the feeling the census bureau is going to have to add a shit loadof check boxes for the next one.

I think dreams-vision said it best in apost he made last night.

ok we get it - most black people in america are mixed. That doesn't change the fact that there are varying degrees of mixed blood.

Some have just a drop of white in them, others like Halle Berry have a white mom, making her more than half white(assuming that her father was mixed as you say).

don't you find it interesting that people in this thread aren't posting many pics of African women from Africa?

 

[djtiesto]

I'm most attracted to eastern European women, and a lot of the features I love about them (fair hair, light skin, blue eyes) are features that are completely opposite of black women women. Not to mention, I live in whitebread suburbia so I don't really run into many black women on a regular basis (

Spoiler

I have an inkling that a cute Trinidadian girl I work with has a slight thing for me though

) - it's mostly Italian and Jewish girls with the occasional Irish.

That being said, there are still quite a number of black women I find very sexy. And north African women are usually damn stunning...

Posting pics now = ban. If you want to see beautiful African women from Africa, just Google Image search "Miss [name of African country]". I particularly like Miss Nigeria (Agbani Darego) and Miss Botswana (Sumaiyah Marope) myself. Killer smile and a nice rack to boot. Besides, most black people on GAF are black Americans, not black Africans. They're going to post the people they know best, and obviously they'll know black American actresses/models/singers the best. Duh.

 

[Parallax]

Yeah, but neither have reached the mass market level of appeal that Alicia Keys reached. Part of that was due to her appearance.

india irie was never popular, but it wasnt because of her skin color, but her style of music didnt fit the pop market. the same way talib kweli isnt as popular as he should be because of his message

Well, Alicia Keys is a prettier girl than either of the two (imo at least), and image DOES matter in the mainstream.

At the same time though, Christina Milan and Cassie also didn't find the success that those girls found. So I guess with Keys it was the lethal combination of supreme talent (songwriting, piano, vocals) and stunning looks.

India Arie has been rather successful on the whole, I hope you know that.

Fair enough. I agree that Keys did have a lethal combo. However, I can't help but think that Alicia Keys looked like India Aerie with that same level of talent, she wouldn't have made it as far. Sad to say.

This is more of an overall image issue rather than a race issue though. Kind of like how if when Britney started and she looked like Kesha then she probably wouldn't have found as much success.

You are welcome.

Native african women vary. This is an ethiopian woman.

I didn't want to post pics of native african women myself because:

A. Mod said to not post pics.
B. I don't want people to know how gorgeous our women are.

 

[captmcblack]

It literally says at the top of the thread to not post pics.

I'm certain that black women from every conceivable place would've been posted here.
