I ran across this article while I was researching pics of white people's DNA. Some of you are wondering by now why the hell I was doing that. lol. But I was doing it because I really wanted to know why anyone would genuinely aspire to be white. Or white-like. It's so plain, vanilla, cut and dry to me.
It really began to baffle me to the point where I started doing just a bit of research. This article challenges the theory that black people's desire for white DNA stems from slavery. They actually made good points, even though I still had my reservations about how it was presented.
But I'm having a hard time understanding it. I would never want my hair to be straight. I don't want white skin :uhh: . Why do some of us look for these things? And again, this has NOTHING to do with throwing shade at white people, they are beautiful. It's just that I wouldn't want to be them. lol. And there's nothing wrong with feeling that way.
What do you guys think of this article?

Read it in FULL before you comment, please.
these comments underneath the article are pretty interesting as well.
One person tried to come with "oh! but white people want to be black as well! twerking! slang! durag galore! lol! it's the other way around"
And someone came and slapped them in the face with facts.
QuoteMany white youth take on bits and pieces of black culture, because frankly, its part of american/culture and they can appreciate it. At the end of the day though, they take off their doo rags, baggy pants, and oversized t-shirts and are still perfectly white. When they get older, or look for a job, believe me they won?t dress, act, or talk like they are anything but white. No matter how hard blacks strive to be white, they can?t peel their melanin cells off and be white. It just doesn?t work that way. No matter how many skin bleaching treatments and hair perms they get, they are still black. It is what it is. Its sad that even black children don?t see their own race as something attractive. Nobody wants to be black barbie.
period.
this is crazy
Pretty shocking that most of these girls chose the doll that didn't look like them.
