Having spent most of my day travelling, Twitter was my first source of information regarding the headline on every one's lips: Black Girls are 'Less Attractive'". I looked the article up when I got home, and basically, a psychologist, Satoshi Kanazawa, published a blog saying he had scientific proof to prove that black women are the ugliest of the bunch.
Load of NONSENSE!
Everyone has their preference. We cannot all be attracted to everybody. For example, I personally find chocalate men VERY appealing. BUT the fact that this psychologist decided he was clever enough to generalise and add insult to injury by claiming he has scientific proof is ridiculous.
Is it racism? Or is it just a man with an opinion and an ego that's spiralling out of control? Personally, I do think there is an element of racism about it, but more than that, it is ignorance of the highest degree. What is crazy about it is the publicity Satoshi's blog received, and some of the very silly responses it has inspired. On twitter, for example, some people are using it as an excuse to get racist, and some people are saying rubbish crap like "All the ugly black girls responding should shut up and leave it to the pretty ones".
The fact is, any racism in any shape or form is trash. Earlier this week, I watched the documentary "Louis Theroux and the Nazis". Naturally, I was disgusted by their views, but mostly I just felt sorry for them. Hatred breeds Hatred, and its vile that they would bring up their children with the same warped views. Everyone is beautiful, and the only race is the human race. But, I digress.
So, in conclusion, this so-called psychologist fool that wants to express his own personal views as facts needs to take a look at my mama and my grandmothers, the three most beautiful women in the world!
And I'm done!
