Really now. If you look at all these native African models, they have really "exotic" features, too. My grandmother actually is a Cherokee Indian, but all this makes me wanna grow my hair down my back just so I can throw on a T-shirt that says "Proud to be BLACK." Ladies, we really need to reclaim the beauty standard. They don't think a genuinely black woman can be beautiful.

Look at those "slanty eyes"!

I so agree with you. My grandmother was Cherokee also, and even though I have that "exotic" look I still consider myself black.
 
I have always gotten the, "Are you mixed?" question. I still do. Daily. I have what many have termed "exotic - European" features (?) , but then when I think about it, I think most African-descent women do...my family is of Creole descent via Louisiana and many times I am asked if I'm Dominican, Indian, Ethiopian, Half-Asian, Half-Jewish, some-thing other than 100% Pure African. When I respond that I'm not mixed, many questioners go digging around in my ethnic background until they pull up some ethnicity that they feel justifies their question...a sad comment on our culture...when will it end?

I know, I was like "1 star thread!" :lachen: This thread is too silly. No one's ever suggested I was mixed with anything except maybe half black and half negro. I might have also been part African. If my afro got exceptionally big, do you think that would do the trick? Or do I have to straighten it? I don't know how well this texture would be able to convince anyone I was part anything. Except maybe part Ghanain, part Ivorian, part Nigerian, part Senegalese, maybe part Angolan.

Funny thing is, I'm pretty sure I am part white, like most AAs.

:lachen::lol: OMG :giggle:
 
:lachen::lachen: this thread was hilarious.... nuff said lol

I remember on oprah .... (i need to stop remembering things only from oprah rofl) this man had thees photo generations done of people to see what they looked like in a different race. He said said really all humans are 99 pecent the same (something like that i think) I believe that ...we all came from the same two people.... races are just the human nature section and classify people. So really we can be anything we want, we're all the human race. So if ya wake up one day and wanna be jamaican/hawiian or an asian /puerto rican the next thats fine. Just don't do it too much or people will think you're schizo :lachen:

Not trying to toot my own horn but I get this now anyway-actually always have. But now folks are mistaking me for a Latina instead of a Black girl with a little bit of cream and red man in her. I don't know why-I don't speak Spanish and I don't have ANY Latin ancestors-that I know of. Oh well, it's a compliment to me. But I guess since people go there with me on this now, when I meet my ultimate goal, which is tailbone straight/WL curly, Higher Power forbid I wear my hair straight folks will think I'm a fullblood Native American!!!

If that will give me the hook up on free fry bread, I'm down!!:lachen:

Uhh...I hate to say this, but I don't think it will. It's just how people think. Which is why I embrace all parts of my heritage and let people think and say what they want. They will anyway. I pick and choose my battles and that ain't one of them.:nono:

Whatchacry'nbout. :look: Not everyone is fortunate to have a booty the size of a dump truck. Stick a basketball in them pants and carry on. I hope no one mistakes her for a donkey and trys to go for a ride. Getyup!

:charge:

As a black african, I must admit a lot of people do have these so called "exotic features". My mom, and brothers all have slanty eyes, and no one ever thought they were mixed. Contrary to popular belief, you really cant always guess just by looking

But the thing is that many black folks look for that european or other. I've seen them searching DEEP like they prayed on it. :nervous2::pray: Like, "Please let them be some Cherokee in there somewhere. PLEASSSSEE. Cuz you know cousin Nimzie had that long wavy hair and high cheek bones." Not saying that there is anything wrong with genaology and searching your background. I recommend that everyone get a DNA gene test to see where your people from both sides originated.

:lachen: That's funny considering that everyone else might mistake you for fullblooded Native American except Native Americans. They will think you are Puerto Rican and Puerto Ricans will think you're a Mexican/Nigerian. :lachen:

When did Black stop being exotic? Have we lost our appeal? Are we overexposed like Britney Spear's hooha? :blush: What has happened?

:lachen::lachen: You ladies are too funny. The funniest thing is that I don't think it will take too much for you to make people think you're part Hispanic. All they have to see is healthy, swangin' hair and then you say "Hola" and trust me, they're thinkin' it :grin:.

P.S. I can vouch for that because my hair isn't even BSL yet and already people ask me "Are you Puerto Rican/Dominican?" :rolleyes: All because of a little hair, lol.

LOL - too funny
 
OP can't wait until she's APL so people can think she's mixed
and I can't wait until I'm APL so I can tell people I'm BLACK!!!
Just BLACK nothing else... so that one day it's no longer a myth
that Black women can grow long hair...

maybe that's TOO HEAVY for this thread...
but that's what I was saying...
