If anything, these white girls are more agressive that black girls in my opinion. Once upon a time black girls could raise their voice, put a frown on their face and get ANY race of chicks to fall back. That shit has long ceased and even white girls are kicking some black chicks asses.

No more running up on girls loud talking them, and having that “I’m the baddest bitch” attitude. It does not work anymore! Just take a look at all the women’s boxing fights; and MMA.

‘are black girls typically aggresive?’

Um… that’s a well racist question.

Well..
Try combing long natural hair 5-7 times a week and if your hair is anything like mine(very strong and thick) you will quickly make a choice between a very low cut natural hairstyle or a relaxed longer hairstyle which is easier to style.

Oh, and by the way, I LOVE Omarosa’s personality. She isn’t overtly aggressive or bitchy…she’s just a strong black woman and that’s awesome.

Um, whomever wrote this should have proofread before publishing. So that makes this article not only ignorant, but also “ignit.”

Uh. Omarosa. I hated her personally. Not because she’s black or anything but her attitude. Or did someone pay her to act like that on The Apprentice? Just to ’spice’ things up a bit get more viewing hits from the audiences?

Comment on Standard of beauty Part 2 by Lesa J

This video reminds me of a discussion we had in one of my classes in high school, which was on the Brown vs Board of Education case. One of the boys in my class, who was white (Greek, descent I think), asked “What’s so bad about having everything separated if it’s honestly equal?” (we were talking about the “eqaul, but separate” issue)
The teacher had just finished discussing the doll test. And so when this guy asked this question, I exploded. I said, “It’s obviously not equal if the majority of black children can’t say that someone who looks like them is beautiful or good. Granted some people have low self-esteems. But if the majority of an entire race can’t see beauty in themselves, where is the ‘equality’ in that?”
My mom is really light skinned. She looks Native American with her long silky black hair with silver threading through. I was living with my dad in Washington when she sent me a picture in which she looked absolutely beautiful. I took the picture to school and showed it to my classmates (I was in seventh grade at the time) and one asked me in a joking way, “Are you adopted?” It hurt when he asked me that. I was by no means dark, but I wasn’t light either.
Over time, I didn’t even realize that I was finding my physical features (big butt, boobs, and lips) less desirable than those of the white girls I went to school with. I thought I was so much fatter than they were.
I moved to VA with my mom and started my junior year of high school there. Going from a predominately white school to a predominately black school was like culture shock. All of a sudden, girls wanted to fight me because they thought I was “stuck up”. This I really didn’t understand. I had no friends and didn’t talk to many people in the beginning, I just stayed to myself. My cousin had actually warned me before that because I had “good hair” girls would want to fight me. Boys were constantly trying to get at me, which I wasn’t used to at all. My skin had lightened due to the sheer lack of sunshine in western WA and I was classified as “that new light-skinned b*tch with the fat *ss” behind my back (I later found this out from the male friends I had made). A mixed senior named Bonnie decided she would be my friend because I was “prettier than her, and all the pretty light-skinned girls were her friends.”
I know for a fact that if I was dark skinned, I wouldn’t be married to my current husband because he feels that anyone darker than him, isn’t attractive.
Black on black racism astounds me more than the white on black racism. We have to change it.
