[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP- Because someone doesn't consider Oprah or Serena Williams "elegant" doesn't make them racist.  Stop it.   Oprah looks like a disaster often and Serena Williams has a masculine physique and poor clothing taste- and that dress doesn't fit her well ether.   Wearing a ball gown doesn't make you elegant, and neither does skin color.  There are elegant women of all colors and we all have different taste in what the criteria is- but no one here has said "white" is one of them.  Please stop accusing total strangers that disagree with you about beauty and elegance that their opinion is racist. [/quote]

It's funny how the only examples they can come up with are white/thin women. As if white/thin women are the only people who can be elegant, or present themselves with elegance. I'm tired of the "elegance" obsession on this forum. "Elegance" and "classy" ... the bywords for DCUM posters. I think Kate Middleton is lovely, but I'm tired of thin white women being held up as elegant, and any woman daring to have boobs is written off and told to cover up. [/quote]

True.  Travel to Baltimore and visit the Barnes and Noble on Reistertown Road right off 695.  In fact that entire shopping center is filled with UC black women who are impeccably groomed and dress.  Scarves, short savvy hair styles (usually gray), fantastic light makeup with great lip color and the way they hold their carriage, I'm sorry but I just stare in envy.  I could never look that "perfect" and yes, they are perfect, at least in appearance.  I might add one other thing, manners.  Holding oneself in a certain way and having excellent manners is paramount to looking elegant.  Signed .... a thin, rich white woman. :D [/quote]

Stop the sock puppeting, race lady. It’s so transparent. [/quote]

Such a weirdly specific post.  As if all the women at that particular B&N look a certain way.   :lol: [/quote]
