Who decides what's beautiful and what's not in our society? I've always wondered why some women are considered drop dead gorgeous while others, not so much. In the past, the standard of beauty in America has been "blonde hair, blue eyes, and skinny". It's no secret that as African American women, we are known for our larger butts and boobs, fuller lips and darker skin which obviously the complete opposite of the standard "American Beauty stereotype", or however you choose to look at it. In this day and age however, as we see women of other races becoming successful in Hollywood, that standard has changed with the majority of women wanting curvier bodies, fuller lips, and darker skin! Give it up for the sistas!
