The 16-Year-Old Who Could Take It All
From The Root: A posting on the Psychology Today's the Scientific Fundamentalist blog, titled "Why Are Black Women Rated Less Physically Attractive Than Other Women but Black Men Are Rated Better Looking Than Other Men?" was the talk of the Twittersphere today (usually just introduced with something like "Appalled!" or "Ridiculous!") ... until it disappeared, that is.Read more at The Root

@blackbear72
I'm going to take your comments point by point:
Girlking, your post will most likely make a lot of sense to the typical BV reader, but to someone with common sense it makes no sense. How does the fact, (if it is indeed a fact) that the most powerful woman and man in the world are both black and both are married to blacks,make them beautiful? If this is the case then for the past 2000 years up to 2008, black people weren't beautiful, wouldn't it? Or it means that black people have only been powerful for 2 of the last 2000 years, would either of those thing be correct in your mind?
Already addressed but will address again: I pointed out that both are powerful and Black and the fact that they are with Black people. It had more to do with the fact that they are with Black people but if you missed that then so be it.
The best part is how you bring God into this, of course he made all people in his image and how he wanted, that would be also true for all the non black people he created.
The insulting article wasn't about other ethnicities or genders it was about Black women and as a Black woman I dealt that how I dealt with my comments and if you missed that then so be it.
And to use God as the reason for us having a black President is even more laughable, look into this President and you will find that he has a very low regard for God.
Since you're not God you can't judge whether President Obama has a very low regard for God. His relationship with God is not your concern. That is between him and God and as long as he acknowledges Jesus as is Lord and Savior and not you then it really doesn't matter what you think.
If God chooses every President, then he chose all the previous ones who were all non-black. Explain that one!
It's clear that you didn't read my original comment correctly because not once did I say God was responsible. But since you brought it up, absolutely He was responsible for President Obama becoming president just as he was for all others. Now you may not want to give God his glory, that's on you.
God does not decide everything, he has given us free will and some things he lets us decide.
You're right God gives us free will however, he is in everything and if you don't believe that, that's your business.
He make a path for us, we just need to have faith in him and follow that path.
So then He is in everything. If He's making the path, and we're following the path then.......

The people you mention could be, just one person. Black people on Black Voices should ignore these jealous racist folks who come here and express their stupidity.
I know it's hard to ignore ignorance but, don't reason with anyone that's mentality challenged because you get no results but useless bable.
Just tell them Black people on Black Voices don't deal with WHITE STUPIDITY and move on.

You cant be serious with that comment.. black women are the most attractive in the world,, nice full lips, curvy bodies that all other women envy, high cheekbones, etc, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the skin is the most beautiful brown sugar skin in the world!At least the majority of them dont have to run and get nose jobs, boob jobs, lip implants and butt injections.. fake and imitation is not real beauty!

Not everyone puts there value on whether they are married or not or have a man in their life. Some choose to be single while like other women choose to "live with" their mate. And that in itself is another discussion. Being single or married does not make you less or more attractive.
This is the same old tired discussion about Black women just under a different headline.
