Meh

I put it along the line w/ colored wigs. Most people just love to dabble in different mess.

I never think of "trying to fit beauty standards! sellout!" when I see a person of color wearing contacts.     


I agree to an extent, but when someone wears them practically 24/7 and then
tries to give the impression that they're real. That's when I see it as an issue.

Like, Kenya was on Wendy's radio show a while back and one of the guys
said he thought she wore contacts and she took offense.
That radio show was pure mess though. I'm sure he didn't just nicely ask if they were contacts.
:nowgorl:
[;kjlnohk;bijlvasbbsdbbsbbb

but I mean if she knows just for fun and expression, why even get offended? :dead:

it's as simple as an article of clothing. not that deep :udontlookok:

So she lied about wearing colored contacts. That makes her a liar I guess?

Does it mean she's subconsciously trying to look like Becky instead of Keisha?

No 

That's what you're not getting.

Sometimes these things can be so deeply embedded into our psyches that we really know not we do.

f

That's why I said subconsciously.

Well the fact that you used that example shows that you know this mess is real and it exists.

So I don't see the point of the debate. :plzstop:

I still stan for Kenya. Not one point in this thread did I say she was less pretty because of colored contact usage.

I expressed my disappointment in her being one of "those gorls" who run around with colored contacts in their eyes. There's a huge difference.

So any unrelated conclusions drawn are purely based on assumption.

But why is Kenya suddenly one of "those girls" because she wears colored contacts?  :everythingok:


!!!

And I don't understand why he lumped her together with the rest of the "insecure" girls. I don't see anything wrong with temporary mess like eye and hair color. She's not bleaching her skin or lightening her instamess photos. She seems very secure with herself.

And I don't think it's nice to judge someone just because everything on them isn't natural. No need to be so dramatic.   

Who's judging?

I just said I still stan for her.

And if anything needs judging , its this COUNTRY....first and foremost...not ANYONE in our community. Don't even get me started on that.

But that's exactly what you've been doing the entire time, and over something silly like contacts. None of our faves are natural from head to toe. They wear things to enhance what they've already got. I don't know why we're so quick to judge black women over the silliest things. Just because a woman isn't rocking her natural 100% all of the time doesn't mean there's some deep rooted issue or insecurity.     

Now this I agree with.

Yeah I know it exists hun

I just don't think that's the case with every black woman not rocking her natural mess. You have a habit of doing that.   

Herb.

It's not about judging someone.

Have you guys NOT noticed that Kenya always brags about her NATURAL beauty?

Like....wtf? :dead: She touts herself as a naturally beautiful girl.

So one should only be disappointed to discover a part of this natural beauty is indeed not natural.

Should we bring in a rocket scientist to explain this further?

But if that were the case she wouldn't straighten her hair or wear makeup. She does simple things to enhance her natural beauty..
