MTV Decoded: The Problem With White Beauty Standards

[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySpytmtCB5o[/YOUTUBE]

I thought this video was typical SJW feminist tripe and an outright attack on white women. These women offered no sound arguments, just childish jokes, mocking white beautification products, and incessant whining. So what if more and more men globally have a preference for white women. And I'm not saying there aren't attractive non-white women. There are beautiful women of all races and no one is going to call you a racist or sexist for celebrating them. But god-forbid you want to celebrate white women's beauty. "Nah bruh, that's some Uncle Tom/coon shit, fuck them wet dog smelling cave bitches." Do these same feminist/SJW's ask how non-white men feel being constantly compared to the military and economic dominance of western powers? Isn't that an impressive standard? I guess not because in certain communities, they won't let up with this "build a nation" shit and we can't respect you because you ain't got what white men have.

 

Seriously, if you're a man in today's society and you don't have one or two advanced degrees, making six figures, or working at some Fortune 500 company then you're considered a loser. Men know we have to compete. Feminist need to get over themselves.

 

Didn't watch it, but yes, there is a problem with whiteness being the ultimate standard of beauty.

 

I can somewhat agree, especially when black women are discriminated against at work or school for wearing their natural hair or an afro style.

 

Yeah major truth. It effects how we treat people even who we help in crisis.
Beauty standards set the tone for social norms not just coupling.
I see no problem with them pointing it out. Won't stop me or other men from liking ww though.

 

I understand, but there should be a genuine demand to see that representation. If it's out there and people don't support it. Whose fault it that? Black men have always found a work around and we don't beg anyone to put us in their stuff. We go out and do our own thing and people like it. Look at how influential Hip Hop is today.

 

The problem with the argument is that it is limited to women. As a result it becomes a whine-fest by women of color (particularly black women) directed at white females. Well, white guys have been benefitting from similar standards just as long but you don't see men of color (particularly NOT black guys) crying about it. When I hear stuff that white women are put on a pedestal I like to remind people that white men put themselves on an even greater pedestal than they do their own women. And you only have to look at TV and movies to observe this fact first hand. If we are going to have discussions about how "looking white" is favored by the sexes of all other races across the globe then that's a discussion to be had. If we are limiting the topic however to just women, specifically how it affects black chicks, then fuck that. I'm tired of black women making everything that affects "our" community about them anyway. I won't take any part in carrying their water as they engage in their endless battle against their arch nemesis: white women.

 

Yeah we limit our complaints to stuff like why aren't there more black coaches and black quarterbacks. You don't see us demanding that society sees us as beautiful even though calling black men such things is pretty much non-existent in mainstream and the black media. Black women (black female celebs)on the other hand get sucked up too quite often by the media regarding their beauty and its never enough. Hell, black ladies need to start appreciating their own natural beauty (in other words stop straightening their hair) before they can demand others to appreciate it.

 

Meanwhile, the hilarious part is that a big part of the reason white women are on such a pedestal in this country is that white men put them there in an attempt to keep black men from reaching them.

 

Also, would you guys mind breaking your longer posts into paragraphs? Those huge, unbroken blocks of text can be a drag to read.

 

Still, we all need to have some perspective.

Nowadays we have WAY more diverse representations in the media about what 'beautiful' looks like.

I don't think we'll ever have this perfect society of ideas and norms, however where we are today from a social perspective isn't the worst.

A show or family like the Kardashians never would have existed in the 1990s or prior.

Ask yourselves why White millennials and so many others watch that show religiously???

 

Very True. I mean people magazine has named more black women their most beautiful woman, than they have black men with their "sexiest man alive" contest or whatever it is.




The media and Hollywood and entertainment industry is what we use to call back in the day a "White Man's World". Look at the porn industry it's interesting that girl's only have the "right to choose" if they choose to only do B/G scenes with white men, but you don't get girls in pro porn that who would only want to do scenes with black men, because obviously they aren't allowed and are not encourage to do so.

Entertainment industry is almost like the posterboy for white privilege among white men. They started finding black women more and more beautiful so they put them out their in their magazines, love interest in movies and on the level of white women when it comes to standards of beauty among females.

Meanwhile you have black men like Idris Elba, Michael B. Jordan, Trey Songz, Reggie Bush, Morris Chestnut, Boris Kodjoe, Mehcad Brooks, Mike Colter, Jason Derulo, Odell Beckham, jr. that CLEARLY have a lot of women that love them and even famous white women, but the media gives them less attention when it comes to that sort of thing. That is a lot of black men that a lot of women find very attractive and the media still ignores that for the most part, but let them cover Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pine, Beiber, Pitt, Clooney or any of them and you'll hear about it a lot. White beauty standards in the industry is geared towards white men, because when attractive non-white females come along they get recognize WAY more than men of color.

 

FIFY

 

With all due respect maybe you shouldn't read them. As far as my posts are concerned I learned from some great English teachers over the years (including my mom) and I know when to break a paragraph and when not to. Its become natural to me and I can't artificially break them up just because I'm on social media or posting comments in reply sections like these.

 

Truth. Preach.

Post of the year.

 

SJW? Single Jewish Women?

I tend to think it's because of schadenfreude. People get a vicarious thrill out of watching people's misfortunes or seeing them behave badly.

Now what kills their argument is two of the women in this video are with white men so apparently they bought into the white beauty standards they seem to be opposed to. Guess its purely limited to women.

 

Bwahahaha, talk about a misunderstanding!

 

Always found that ironic, I have a friend like that. Complains all day about men not liking her cause she's not thin, white(she's biracial), with straight hair but Channing Tatum, Ryan Gosling, and the guy who plays Thor are her self-proclaimed baby daddies. Never seen her gush over asian or black guys like that lol.

But on the topic. I believe white beauty standards exist but I don't believe they're as strict as they were several years ago. I'd say being tan/ olive skinned with dark hair is seen as more attractive worldwide than looking completely aryan.
