Oh nooooo, only jealous Black women who can't get a man accuse Kim K. of buying her ass.

Don't get kicked out of the Black Men Club.

LOL!

Kim K's booty just reminds me of any of my Armenian girlfriends' bodies, as well as my Greek friends.

Why does Kim K's booty make folks so upset?! :confused::confused::confused:

Not really. I've seen an awful lot of nonBlack women with curvy bodies. She's just in the limelight.

LOL. If some people are upset, it could be because Kim K. is just the newest nonBlack woman who is praised for things that many Black women have had for generations. While Kim K. is getting props from both Black men and the mainstream media for her butt, Black women received little praise for their bodies and even received more mockery, inequality, and cruelty for their bodies.

Also....

Some Black men: Damn, Kim K fine as hell. To hell with sistahs. Imma get me an Armenian chick with a big ass. They pretty as hell, with good hair, and not all of that other shit that sistahs have.
Black woman #1: Nooooooo, who am I going to marry now?!?!?! Don't leave, Black men!!!
Black woman #2: Fuck him and his homies. There are plenty of good Black men out there who aren't chasing nonBlack butts.

This wouldn't even be a Blackface topic that needed disclaimers if it had nothing to do with race. Basically, what Ch2tf said.

Those reasons are but I was talking more of her makeup wasn't done particularly well, she looked nothing like the man she was supposedly portraying, and her outfit was tacky. Those are all non-racial reasons why the photos were a fail to me and I noticed them way more than the color of her face paint. ;)

You consider those nonracial. I do not. I still say they are racial when you get beyond the surface level. Her horribly done face paint and them pretending that she was portraying Fela Kuti are no coincidence in this context. She is paying homage to Africa in horribly done face paint (the color of the face paint isn't so easily separated from how the face paint looks on her) and pretending to portray a man who she looks nothing like. Yeah, I'm pretty sure none of that would've happened if this wasn't about Black/African Diasporic people.

*******
I just wanted to post this article about Fela Kuti's music. :D

Here in Dubai there is a LOT of this skin bleaching going on since it is such a racist society. The part I seriously don't get is (and crucify me for making a blanket statement), aren't black people on the eternal mission to get RID of chalky skin? It looks weird, zomby'ish, and unhealthy. Staying out of the sun is one thing (and MANY women walk around with umbrellas every day), but applying chemicals to your skin is something completely different. The worst cases of it I see are the Filippina women who bleach their skin. It makes them look like they have Downs Syndrome. I'm always biting my tongue to keep from asking if it's actually worse to look dark than retarded. Arabs can pull it off reasonably well, making themselves look Jewish (and again, is this a good alternative in their minds?), but South Asians most definitely cannot.

Please expound on this so we can know what you're talking about.

But it's fine to insult people with intellectual disabilities and Jewish people? :(

While I think she was saying that the Arabs in question would object to 'looking Jewish' there's really no excuse for the Down's comment.

Especially with so many on this thread exhibiting Downs mental capacity. It's just not right.
