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

If Black women are not as attractive why do some white women try to get brown, a bigger butt and bigger lips. These attributes are considered to be attributed to Black women.

70% of Black women are single because we're not putting up with some mans bullcrap! AND there have not been enough worthy candidates who are capable of digesting that we can handle as much as we can in this day and age. Truth is, the harder the times get, the more resilent black women become at strategizing survival for ourselves and our families, and most men, period, can't handle our strength.

"Truth is, the harder the times get, the more resilent black women become at strategizing survival for ourselves and our families, and most men, period, can't handle our strength."
The truth is most men won't put up with black women attitudes.
As far as being resilent that will be tested in the coming years. Why? In the near future government programs are being reduced or eliminated. Because the majority of BW do not work in corporate america - most work for local, state or federal government. These programs are mainly used by women so we'll see how resilent you are.
All you have to do is look at the state budgets in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan just to name a few. These states has pass laws to reduced the time one can collect welfare to 4 years, reduced the number of weeks one can collect unemployment benefits, reduced the collected bargaining agreement for state workers, increased the amount one has to pay for health and pension. Other states will soon follow.

I would caution and my black brothers ans sisters to take a deep breath...There, Better?
We already know what this is about. White women WANT to be desired by black men. So, they see THEM as more DESIRABLE. White men need to convince themselves and their women that white women are DESIRED by white men. This is done to influence their preoccupation with black men. It's no more than an unconscious self defense mechanism that white men responded (when asked) less favorably about the attractiveness of black women. We already know...Sisters Rock!

WTH!!! I've been noticed that for some reason the MEDIA has really been on the attack against Black Women. It used to be Black men. I guess they've oppressed them enough or I don't know if one of these head hauncho Media people are controlling things but it's crazy. All they advertise now are bm and ww and I know A LOT of BM that don't look at them. I mean, if they're so desirable why are they dying to get butts, getting cancer to get tanned and destroying themselves with all this bOTOX. This is strictly a media thing. Idk what's going on. They are on the attack....

Psychology Today and author Satoshi Kanazawa would have done better to just say “we personally don’t find Black women attractive and we’ve found several hundred others who agree with us.” That I can accept. You don’t like the way we look okay that’s your loss, but to try to back up a personal opinion, a subjective mindset, and a racist predisposition is not now nor will ever be science. The results of the study are the furthest from science and the methodology in which they were gathered I’m assured did not apply any mathematical equation. What was applied here was pure hateful, envious, malicious, subjective and racist opinion. For that Psychology Today you get no props, you get no awards, instead you get backlash from the Black Blogosphere and a collective statement from Black women everywhere to kiss our asses that you so desperately want.
Pucker Up.
