Does Colour Matter?

A few months ago I was at MacD with my friends. We were having a good time chatting and also yelling a bit. It was just as usual that our talks frequently revolved around the girls sitting there at MacD. Then there came this girl. She might have been African or Brazilian may be. I say this because these are the only regions we can think of when we see a Negro - a black face, with quiet a different shape and even more different hairstyle. She was abnormally tall considering that she was the tallest over there. I shared my view with my friends, “Hey guys, she’s good naa?” and instant was the reply, “Abey kaminey teri choice bohot ghatiya hai!” Now this was only because she was black. That way my friends should not love Halle Berry, Naomi, Beyonce or Rihanna or even Bipasha. But they don’t just love these black beauties but they are actually crazy about a few of them.

So what is it? They just don’t care to analyze whether a black is a beauty. They are prejudiced, biased and discriminating when it comes to appreciating a black beauty. And this is the case with many people. That black girl at MacD was having an awesome figure, a cool hairdo, a great sense of fashion, an amazing height which just made her persona even more beautiful, a smooth skin and sparkling eyes. I could praise her beauty as I did because I gave myself a chance to look into her dark shades. So the next time you see a black face don’t ignore it straight away because beauty can glow in any shades. This can be reiterated by the fact that Halle Berry is black and she was named amongst the 50 most beautiful faces for eight times by the People’s Magazine and was among the ‘sexiest women of the century’ list of Playboy(1998).
