WOW! to be a black girl you are so pretty. (this happens to me quite often,why? do people expect black women to be unattractive? because they always act so shocked about it...)
I always just laugh it off, because someone being attractive shouldnt have anything to do with race, should it?
why cant i just be a pretty girl?

Yes it's very rude. People think that Black women r suppose to be unattractive. I call it ignorance, becuz they probably get that stereotype from the media or from seeing a few Black women. Therefore, they think the entire race is suppose to be like that certain person. I'm Black and I'm VERY cute!

The compliment does have a mixed message, but in defense of ones familiarity to there race, we generally seek beauty within our own. So we may find a woman or man striklingly attractive if they have some of physical features that we associate with beauty. Does this make sense. For example, I find black women very attractive if they have caucasion features, are light skinned, or with long wavey hair. This is what I know to be attractive by socializing with caucasion people. But you are right for pointing out that your race should have no bearing in the compliment. By the way, you are a knock out.

Yeah, beautiful women do come in all races. I'm half Black and Puerto Rican, most of the time people think I'm just Puerto Rican, some even though I was White. I'm just light skinned with green eyes. I have dark skin Black female friends who are very pretty and they get told that they are pretty for a dark skin girl, which even I find very insulting. They are beautiful, nice bone structure, pretty dark eyes, nice hair! It shouldn't matter their color!

Yeah I get that a lot too. It pisses the hell out of me. Unfortunately, our society frowns upon being black and thinking black is beautiful. So it always shocks people when they look at a black person and realize how beautiful they really are. Hopefully, things will change with our generation.

Beautiful women do come in all races and I think its a society fault that we believe otherwise. The majority of women potrayed in media are white and even though we say we've conqured rascisim theres still a long way to go. It is a society fault that we have done is and protryed women of other races to lseem esser than the white female.

I agree there are great beauties of all races and ethnicities. I wonder if Halle Berry has to put up with that? I don't particularly see it as "rude", but rather as a very, VERY clumsy compliment. Right up there with "she has such a pretty face. Too bad about the weight."

That's pretty narrow minded of people to say that to you. They must not have experianced much of the world outside their own house. You're quite right - Attractive people come in all races. Well done to you for laughing it off!

Yes, I agree with you.. I get that too, for a black women you are so pretty wow!!! Are you mixed? That is so fu*ked up, it is not a compliment it is an insult. People are so rude and they think that they could say anything and get away with it.
I have seen alot of people on this yahoo site say that black women are not attractive and that is so sad. Because the people saying it happens to be white and to tell you the truth alot of white people are ugly. This is why so many of them have to get collagen for there lips, breast implants, tans, butt implants and the list goes on. Black women have these things naturally and it bothers them. Girl, don't worry about these ignorant mother fu*kers..

i guess you are right. I have said to a black girl in jc Penney's at the register. "You're the prettiest black girl I've ever seen."
My daughter who is half black, and looks like Hallie Berry. Said, "Momma, why did you say that?" I thought about it and said, well you're right and I'm sorry. So I don't remember ever telling a white girl she was the prettiest white girl I've ever seen. Oh yes i have. And Asian too., But black females are very Strong and beautiful. You look like your mixed though!
