From at least the 1950's up to this day, the imagery of what BEAUTY is has been a rather divisive issue to deal with. Imagine the insecurities that can come from being told that Beauty applied only to any number of Caucasian Women-usually with Blonde Hair & Blue Eyes??? Don't get me wrong, I've got a Jones for Scarlet Johansson & a few others-but For the Black, Latino or Asian child, where does that do to how One views Self-One's Mother, Sister, Aunt, etc? Why aren't they beautiful too??? Look closer & see the deeper meaning and impact here. Self-Worth. Pride in One's Self & Identity. Back in the day, and unfortunately still today, women of color frantically permed/still perm their hair and did/do all they could/can to emulate the looks of another. Ironically an "Other" that goes out of their way to look like US??? It's simply insanity to want to look like someone that wants to look like YOU! So for the sake of current & future generations, we must again remember & assert with force, the understanding that BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL. Comments & Feedback Encouraged...
