Girl quit tripping, some blacks may bleach (i never heard of that) but whites for centuries get skin cancer from all the tanning they do (whats that about you know getting darker) and as far as hair white people (Bo Derrick) went to our culture and got cornrows, White people started all the fake boobs, lashes and wigs now look at Jennifer Lopez with a fake booty. Quit hating cause we looking real good. I don't have fake hair cause i was blessed with a thick head of hair that looks like weave..I had it in the Halle Berry style and now its a shoulder length layered wrap..Please we know how to manage our hair, and love the way we can change it depending on the moods we are in. I love my carmel complexion which ain't that what you try to achieve when u go to the spa... Now go see the doctor about a booty transplant or maybe a lip injection or something...Flat A**

Hair for people of african origin is naturally curly and wirey, grows slowly and is more prone to breakage. You cannot blame the ladies for wishing to have a change and bit longer hair occasionally. It is not meant to be styled european way - that is why those weaves look so good on them and silly on us. Nails -I dont know but I can see plenty of women from all over the world with fake everything - and not looking tidy either. It is possible that these stylings are expensive and cant be done every other day so ladies have to brave it sometimes with home treatments which do not come out so great.

White people get false hair ,false lashes & fake nails also so ........
African American Women`s hair is very coarse and hard to manage , by braiding it and adding extensions it is easier to manage .In some african cultures to be a lighter shade is often seen as more beautiful so that maybe where the skin bleaching is coming in .

I guesss for the same reason that white women tan themselves and cornrow their hair. It's not about them not being happy it's about them expressing themselves through fashon. If you ever had the wonderful oppertunity to have studied Native american and african history on culture you would find that both nationalities found that through color, cloth and jewlry they could celebtrate the gifts of the land. I know that extensions and false nails are not ceremonial rites of passage but horse talis and animal skins were. And the more extreme it was the more beautiful, respected and creative your tribe was considered. Hope that sums it up for you,(smile).

Oh god here we go with this question. like other comments black women wear weaves because they put a lot of heat to their hair to straighten it and that dries it out and makes it break off so they wear extensions. makes sense. fake nails etc... black people in general are just extravagant with their taste. it's not about being happy black women are extravagant when it comes to adorning themselves.
NOW,
when you get fake boobs, tan your skin into a wonderful texture of leather, get collagen injections, suck the fat from your mid-abdominal area to rid that (inner tube look), and get cheek implants to appear to have high cheekbones, an (african feature) and restylane your wrinkles away, their can be a problem with your happiness.

Lemme just say that you are a racist
ALL women of ALL races modify their appearance with hair extensions, lashes and nails... along with surgeries etc.
So why didn't you just ask the question that you REALLY want to ask? I'd guess your question would go something like this..." Don't you just hate it when black women try to act as if they are actual women?"
Wow!!! I've read alot of crap here but damn... give it a rest... karmas a b!tch and you never know... YOUR hair, nails, and eyelashes might fall out / off
GROW UP... ALL OF YOU!!!
MORONS!!!

This isn't a recent phenomenon, though it may be increasing with the effects of tragetted marketing and advertising on these groups of people. Back in the day when we white people with our nice organised hair used to ship slaves over from africa, we used to dip their head in Lime, which bleached their skin and straightened their hair, we didn't like their cotton locks so we risked killing them to make their hail less curly...its racism that makes this happen, if black people felt more pride in their culure and heritage, which is often difficult for distant generations, they wouldn't insult their ancestry. Many political black people who choose NOT to 'white up' their hair, to remain true to their roots, this is what i notice, when i see someone with an affro, i think, great, they haven't succumbed, but quite often people don't even think about this, its a matter or practicality and having less curly hair can sometimes be easier to manage.

Yeah, i know what you mean, the vast majority (probably 90-95%) of black women put painful chemicals on their hair to make it stick straight like white/asian/latino women (unlike the extreme minority, probably .001-.0001%, of white women who inject their lips as was previously mentioned). Then they also wear weaves or wigs to appear to have a white/asian/latino hair texture (not just to lengthen their hair like non black women). They also dye their already straightened hair blonde. They bleach their skin using dangerous chemicals (not a natural reaction to the sun) and wear blue/green/hazel contact lenses and they get nose jobs to narrow their noses and use makeup contouring to give the illusion of a narrower nose. And the ones that go to the greatest effort to do all of these things are the ones that are considered the pinnacle of black beauty like Beyonce, Lil Kim, and Janet Jackson. Or else, they are just half white or latino like Alicia Keys, Halle Berry, Christina Milian, Amerie, etc. and then they still complain white people want to look black, I just don't get it.

Not me.
This Black woman is very proud of who she is. It is possible to have an appreciation for ALL kinds of beauty without changing who you are just to please a certain majority of people.
I, for one, LOVE my carmel skin, my nappy hair(which I wear in locs), my ample bottom, & my full lips. And I wouldn't want to change it for anything.
There was a time when I didn't like the way I looked. As a child, I was always bombarded with images of what was seen as the epitome of beauty (pale skin, long silky hair, European features), but as I grew older, I began to see more and more images of women that were proud & happy of their ethnic features and they became my role models.
We have to instill in our children for future generations to be happy with who they are. Tell them that they are beautiful and arm them with the self-esteem they need as they grow.
