Why can't she just be a woman?


Shes a beautiful woman. Period. Tired of all the racial nonsense. So tired of hearing "black this and black that". White people created this entire racist society and their whole white supremacy nonsense and it sickens me to no end. I also hate the way others have fed into it as well. SHES A WOMAN & a human being. NOT A COLOR. PERIOD.

I also see this on other black actresses boards. THEY ARE WOMEN like every other WOMAN.

I agree with the intent of your post - and that Ms Union is GORGEOUS. However, don't place all of the blame on white people for 'black this and black that.' I honestly hear 'black' as a descriptor more often from black people than white people.

Incidentally, your post does the very thing you're complaining about when you refer to 'other black actresses.' They are actresses like every other actress.

Now, if you're really trying to complain about phrases like 'she's pretty for a black woman,' then I would agree that just needs to stop. That's not a compliment to the individual person, it's an insult to the entire race for implying that beauty is rare for that group - and that's just plain BS.
