I don't need anyone, regardless of color, to tell me what I think beauty is. I award them no credit, and may God have mercy on their souls.

Right... It's OK for the black person to be all about him/herself but let the white person do it instead of bowing down to bullshite claims and the world is ending.

I guess in your world white people should just bow down and admit defeat every time a minority tries to claim they've been wronged due to race. Even if the claims are complete bullshite and unsubstantiated.

The fact that this is becoming a race issue is completely missing the point.

Didnt say that, nor did nicki. Nicki was trying to give love and confidence to a generation / nation of women of color whos beauty and features of beloved, but are demeaned and caricatured when they actually possess it.

These are legitimate claims that have been widely studied and researched in academic forums. I suggest you get up on your readings.

Minaj made it into one. Strong Safety is in the thread too. So the race card double whammy is in full effect.

OMG! look at her butt. It is so big. [scoff] She looks like one of those rap guys' girlfriends. But, you know, who understands those rap guys? They only talk to her, because, she looks like a total prostitute, 'kay? I mean, her butt, is just so big.
I can't believe it's just so round, it's like, out there, I mean— gross. Look!

She's just so...

black!

A video that fetishes black womens features and bodies. I was actually shocked and saddened to see that. Didnt think that taylor was as culturally deftone as that video showed. Her comments yesterday back it up

Anaconda is a terrible song and trashy video. It's also sampled too heavily to be best anything. At least Taylor's songs are catchy

Bottom line is, Taylor sells out stadiums across the nation on a nightly basis and is a role model for millions of girls ages 5-25.

Nikki is nothing but a sex symbol that promotes nothing but being a thuggish whore.

Ive seen that before. Nothing shocking there. That fails to incorporate any vested analysis into the our social constructs for beauty.

I didn't say anything was wrong with either one of them.
