Black is Beautiful  email this discussion to a friend?

Yes, black or tan is beautiful. But here in the Philippines, only a few number of people appreciates black. The massive advertisements of skin-whitening and stuffs alike distort the thinking of most people. And yes, it continue as time passes by. And because of this, only the white-complexioned people, mostly ladies, are admired and appreciated. I'm tan, and I'm proud of it. My girlfriend always tell me that she loves my being tan. But how about other tan or black-complexioned people? Who would uplift their spirit that being tan or black is just alright? I really hate skin whitening products and so those people whose mindset are only confined that being white-complexioned is the only beautiful. Oh, let me add, I love beauty queens who are black-complexioned like Vanessa Lynn Williams, Halle Maria Berry, and many more.

myLot, how do you feel about this? Black is beautiful, agree or disagree?

Black is beautiful when it comes to wardrobes. :) LOL. Nah, it depends upon a person's taste or preference. Light complexioned people like having a sun-kissed skin tone. While those who have darker complexion would love to have whiter complexion. I guess, its about one person not being content with what he/she have and wishing she/he had other people's life. XD


borgiefame (49)   ranked 3,511 out of 26,919 in people  2 years ago

Lol, yeah it depend upon a person's preference, a preference dictated by the society. your ID is snowdoll, i guess your are white-complexioned. right? haha


myLot reputation of 89/100. snowdoll487 (2965)  2 years ago

Light complexioned. Yes. LOL. I do not let the society dictate what I like and what I don't like. :)

I mean I have my own mind. A processing brain which I can use. Why would I need other people's opinion if its not meant to help me in any way. :)


borgiefame (49)   ranked 3,511 out of 26,919 in people  2 years ago

Lol, that's a good mindset. keep being the way you are. I admire you being like that.

For me, i admire dark woman and actually my wife had a brown complexion. I may say black is black is beautiful to other things like color of the car, black shirts etc. I like black color and it was beautiful in my eyes. There's a lot of woman who is really beautiful and they are black. I think it's depend on other people what is beauty for them Some admire White complexion because we can say that woman with white complexion had a smooth skin and white woman are very attractive and looks clean. Happy mylotting.


borgiefame (49)   ranked 3,511 out of 26,919 in people  2 years ago

Wow! That's so nice to hear from you. Yeah, it is not easy to resist the beauty of 'whites', and I agree with you on that. Each of our preference is distorted by the society.

Thanks for dropping by and sharing you views.

hi there, i am very disappointed with the people here in our place because only few guys want tan color..most of them wanted the fair or white complexion..the reason i think no one is courting me because i have a tan color but anyway i couldn't change this God's given gift to me..I still should stand proud. My beauty and color is of like a true Filipino.


borgiefame (49)   ranked 3,511 out of 26,919 in people  2 years ago

yeah and that is so disappointing. as what i've mentioned, their thinking is distorted by what the media and the society portray and dictate.

you shouldn't be depressed at all if no one is trying to court you. well, you can reason out your being tan, but i guess, you should also look into other areas of your personality.

anyhow, i admire your being proud of your being tan.

thanks for posting your thoughts.

At my point of view, all girls, whoever black or white is beautiful. It's just the typical hype by advertisers to emphasize the major stigma of social groups which tend to discredit black people. If the advertiser sells whitening soap for African for example, of course it's like selling ice to Eskimos. lol

In addition for th advertising program, there's one ads that even explicitly stated "white is beautiful", while not stated that black is not beautiful, but social couldn't agree more with the ads.

By the way, I come from Indonesia, our custom is look alike:)
Nice to meet you.


borgiefame (49)   ranked 3,511 out of 26,919 in people  2 years ago

and that thinking that advertisements offers of emphasize to us is reaaaaly so saddening. here in the philippines, speaking on show business, white-complexioned people are given more preference in movies and films. tan or blacks are neglected.

i appreciate that you agree with me.

what can we do to change this distorted thinking?

Hi, borgiefame. Yes, black is beautiful. Both of these ladies that you just named are very beautiful. In fact, my complexion is similar to Halle Berry's complexion. This is the first time that I have ever seen their middle names before. I have seen many African American women that are very beautiful, no matter what complexion that they are. You don't have to be light skinned just to be attractive. And, for the women that has bleached their skin, like Lil'Kim. I don't understand why she felt like she had to do this. She is beautiful without bleaching her skin complexion. She has a lovely brown complexion. We women should all be happy with whatever skin color that we are. I know that I am .happy

Hi Cream!! I love my skin too! Let's drink to that. lol.


borgiefame (49)   ranked 3,511 out of 26,919 in people  2 years ago

let's cheer to that! yes, those two ladies are just some of the beautiful African-American women. I really admire them, so you too.

Let's love our complexion.

I admire you for saying black is beautiful.
Well, I'm a Filipina and yes most of us Filipinos are tan or brown-skinned but most of us would want those that are fair skinned people. I am somehow been attracted to some whitening products to tone up my skin
that's because they say that black is beautiful but too much black is charcoal according to them and somehow kinda pisses me off.
I'm having problems in applying make up too because my skin is darker that make-ups doesn't fit me at all because of this sometimes I hoped that I'd be fairer.
But above all, I agree that black is beautiful!


borgiefame (49)   ranked 3,511 out of 26,919 in people  2 years ago

thank you. well, i understand that you have somehow attracted to whitening products.
somehow, don't be moved easily by what these ads say. whitening products can bring ill effects in humans. they just claim that these products are clinically-proven. to where? to animals! and this another point, animals are not ours to use for experiments.

as to make up, i'll give an advice: i learned this during my personality development course back in college. Apply skin tone makeups. that's it and you will never find it hard to apply make ups.

thanks for sharing your thoughts.


myLot reputation of 92/100. eil_noz (502)   ranked 4,132 out of 26,919 in people  2 years ago

I don't know why but I guess your a
good adviser regarding the skin tone. haha...

I'll better use one then.
definitely, there were a lot of side effects on the whitening product that's why i'm very careful regarding it.

I use something that is extracted from fruits. It seems to be the natural way. Thanks again for your advices borgiefame


borgiefame (49)   ranked 3,511 out of 26,919 in people  2 years ago

haha, I also don't know why. during our early times together, i always reprimand my girlfriend about her wearing of loud colors of bra. i asked her: haven't you took PD? haha, then I advised her that she should wear skin toned bras, since then, she never used again loud colors. haha

I love my skin!! Why? I get compliments for my brown skin and black hair. Also, I easily get noticed when I am with a group of girls with white skin because I am also tall.When I was younger I really wanted to have fairer skin because I was often teased by my brother.

I have a friend who used to have light-brown skin. I think she looked very pretty. she started applying whitening creams and had taken whitening pills.There was a huge change in her complexion and many people said she fair-skinned doesn't suit her.

I think brown complexion suits my features.



borgiefame (49)   ranked 3,511 out of 26,919 in people  2 years ago

and i guess you should be proud to keep that complexion. you must try beauty pageants.:)
