why is the black standard of beauty light skin and long straight hair?
How many women on TV look like Lauryn Hill or India Arie? How many look like Beyonce? Why do we value lighter skin, long straight hair more then dark skin or brown, and kinky/curly hair? The black race comes in all shades and hair textures why embace only one. It makes us apprear like we hate ourselves and value Eurocentric beauty standards.
Is Lauryn Hill type beauty inferior to the Beyonce type beauty?
