i think that you should do whatever makes YOU feel up to par...an acceptance of "white" standards of beauty??? i don't know...but i do know that people are thickening their lips...enlarging their breasts...curling their hair...and the like...those aren't ideals of beauty originating within "white" culture...so essentially...no...i don't think by doing so a black woman is giving into a white ideal...nor is she exhibiting self-hatred...but in fact an appreciation for beauty...now if you aren't confident in yourself...no amount of enhancement, be it through surgery or through cosmetic application, is going to fill any voids you have within...
