I'm glad this was titled "black Beauty" as opposed to "Beauty".
Every single race on Earth acknowledges that those are two completely different things.
White women, more than women of ANY OTHER RACE… are far, FAR too often the victims of that universal, instinctual, perception of beauty across all of humanity, which all of us know deep inside… but with that gun to our heads nowadays… almost no one admits it.
R*pe wouldn't be one of the leading problems in migration if this were not true. But it is. Life isn't fair. Most of what formulates "beauty" is actually objective.

I’m still at the beginning but am curious why being an educator would give him a free pass. I wouldn’t want someone that behaves like that educating my children. I understand it was heat of the moment, but a lot of crimes – murder included – are heat of the moment. If he gets a smack on the wrist, a precedent is set. I think 7 years is extreme but he definitely should do enough time to make it a deterrent. I’m not sure how long that is, though.
It's true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The statement societal "beauty standard" isn't a single thing but is more correctly described as a distribution. Saying there are "cracks" in the standard is nonsense. Rather, it would be better to say the distribution is widening in that a more people consider a wider range of features beautiful. I also reject the statement that "someone has to define what the standard is." Beauty is central to mate selection. We all know some people have a 'type' which may or many not align with the 'majority standard.' Each person practices their own 'standard.' The cultural standard, which again is a distribution, is an emergent phenomenon. No one sets it–unless the society is being deliberately manipulated, such as by guilting judges to pick black contestants in pageants or by showing only mixed-race couples in ads.
Saying he has no standard of beauty is completely wrong. He correctly identifies that there are some universal standards, such as symmetry, clear skin, etc., which undoubtedly are genetically based. However, he's using a measure of what's universal across everyone, which is unreasonable. We know personality traits are heavily genetic, but there's a wide variety of personality types, so thinking each individual person doesn't have an innate 'beauty standard' derived from his/her own biology and instead it's all socialized is just unrealistic.
One of the ladies in the panel felt she was "condescended to" when she realized all beauty pageant winners were all black.
I think the non-white standard of beauty is here. It has been a long time since a European woman won Miss Universe.

It's amazing that things like braids, used by many cultures and races for thousands of years are somehow the property of one group?
It is fundamentally flawed to refer to it as "white beauty standards" when its actually just the "majority beauty standards" USA was and still is predominantly white.
In addition the black community has never been told to style their hair like white people by anyone other than black people. The standards are set by their own community, not society at large

LIKE 👍👍👍👍👍 💯❣ 💯 ❣ 💯 😻😻😻😻😻
As a product of the sixties I find it strange that we have to have discussions like this. Right now stop talking and all of you should watch the movie Hair.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ please please please fix your audio ……. when we say “black” it means nothing concrete …… might as well yell “ NAZI “
Go to Ultra white Ireland & Scotland, their noses are what people think of as African.
I think you're referring to African slaves, because it is a fact that throughout history there have been slaves of every single race; often times enslaved by people of their same race as is currently happening in China.
