Very true, Mercedesjin. We show our double standards when a beautiful black woman is presented. I'm not a fan of Naomi Campbell but I can appreciate what modelling agencies see in her. She becomes an object of beauty but other hard-working black people are forgotten about as they aren't seen as aesthetically pleasing or useful to us whites. Very unfortunate but everyone has their role in life. Some black people are amongst my favourite in life. Samuel L Jackson, Morgan Freeman and Martin Luther King being prime examples.

I like what dirtyroboto has to say. We are first and foremost humanists and we shouldn't be singled out for fitting a label. I'd be very angry were I to be attacked by sb who is anti-Scottish, for example. The same with colour. We don't choose our skin (Jackson tried but look what happened there, RIP) so we must just get on with what we have.
