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.     

Herb.

And you guys are coming down on me about this

but in the next breath will DRAG Dawn for "enhancing" her features on INstagram.

What's the real difference? She just wants to "enhance" her jawline. "enhance" her nose. "enhance" her entire fucking face. :dead:

Don't even go there . Some of ya'll will flat out attack people and call them self haters. I at least try to understand the reason behind it.

Case in point:

http://brandy.4fans.net/index.php?topic=7994.0

And if you ask many people who do DRENCH their pics in filter or bleach their skin , they'll tell you that they're just ENHANCING what they already have. Just EVENING it out! that's all!

Don't use enhancements as an excuse when its convenient and then give no one else a pass for their share of it.

LOONA.

But I'm not going to get into some huge debate over some contacts, lol. I've honestly never paid attention to Kenya's.

Literally taking the words out of my mouth.



yummy

Meh. It can either be a form of self expression or an extension of self hatred, all depends on the motive behind it. I don't think it makes anyone less worthy of admiration. Just let people do them.

Thank you.

It's all a matter of OPINION.

Yeesh, like some people will refuse to accept that these things may come from a place of self hatred. And that's not judging anyone in our community, because ITS NOT OUR FUCKING FAULT.

:uhh: :uhh: :uhh: How can you judge and condemn a VICTIM

LOONA.

f

I'm not in that thread so IDK why you keep quoting it.

Colored contacts, like any "enhancement" can be viewed as an underlying insecurity but not in Naomi and Kenya's case. That's like saying any woman who dyes their hair is automatically insecure..

And this is where the problem throughout this entire thread lies.

I NEVER said Kenya was insecure.  :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:

I just expressed my disappointment because I thought she was au naturale.

Then we went into a BROADER issue of Eurocentrism. Which is totally relevant in ANY discussion regarding colored contacts in a black person's eyes. Anyone who doesn't think it is....you're in denial.

But at the end of the day, I still stan for GODya just like I stan for MANY beautiful black brown eyed women :uhh: :uhh: :uhh:

My only crime here seems to be having an adoration and preference for black women who love the way they were born and embrace their natural God given beauty, and do not try to hide it. And if thats the charge, convict me right now. I'll gladly perch under that cell.

However, my adoration for them does not mean any other black women are unworthy of adoration. I still stan for Toni Braxton, and she stays with a blond yaki PERCHED in her head. :dead: GHan is quick to throw a 10 footer on ha head real quick as well. You guys need to stop looking at it in the wrong way.
