It seems to me that the media loves biracial (half black/half white) girls more than real black women. You constantly see celebrities that are mixed. Even in real life, biracial girls are loved. If you see a black woman and a white man together, the woman is usually mixed.

Are biracial women seen as more attractive than full black women? What do you men think about this?

And we like our black politicians bi-racial also... and our golf champs .

I like Halle Berry . Is she bi-racial ?

How the hell am I supposed to get any work done, with THESE types of distractions?

I'm sorry, but no, Beyonce is not bi-racial. Both of her parents are African American.

Hey, what happened to the picture?

Bit too large and was causing problems.

Ugh, now people are going to be like, "What the heck-arooni was ChiMom talking about?"

Her father is African-American,
Her mother is hispanic.

Therefore, she's biracial.

There was an episode of The Tyra Show that addressed this very subject. I found it quite educational, perhaps you would to.

Are the pictures I just put on too much of trouble?

What did you learn?

Actually her mother is Creole, which is African American/French/Native American.

I don't understand the need to divide people by color or race, we are humans and whether we are beautiful or not on the physical side,all of us have hearts that beat,a body that feels pain,we are born,grow up,grow old,we live and we die.

I don't know about bi-racial women being more loved or not,I know that many women are lusted after and even pushed by the media as objects and bodies,rather than persons and personalities.

The insecurities of many women are being pushed in order for beauty products,plastic surgeons and whoever else benefits from women regarding their physical selves.

If one is not of the right color,race,have the right figure,flawless skin,right hairdo,make-up and outfit,one is considered to be less than human?

Obviously the media will push whatever sells best,whether they be humans,kids,animals or any other object/human they could exploit.

Personally I have seen beautiful women who are from all over the world and yet none of them have the same figure or features.Some light skinned,light eyed,others dark skinned,some tall some short...

Media is fickle and tend to jump from one subject to another depending on the popularity of the product.

My advise would be to not take to heart whatever the media dishes out,but find your own inner comfort level and stay on that,don't let the media dictate your life.

I agree with FirmBeliever.

I saw it too,very interesting... as part of that series went onto compare religious,racial,ethnic backgrounds of different people.

Hello a:

In my view, it's not race. It's skin tone. I don't know WHY the caste system is at work, but it is. All over the world, lighter skinned people are preferred to darker skinned ones. You can see it at work here on the skin lightening board.

Maybe someday we'll get past it. I don't know.

Ugh, now people are gonna be like, "What the heck-arooni was ChiMom talking about?"

What the heck-arooni was ChiMom talking about? :confused: :confused: :confused: :p

Couldn't resist.

As for bi-racial, I have a problem with that term, we are all of the same race, the human race, so how can someone be bi-racial?

Just my opinion.
