Today 12:10pm: Why are Black women considered less physically attractive than other women (i.e., White, Latina, Asian)? Tweet to #JCblack

@JCARTED They are considered less attractive because of media portrayal. even in media they usually have lighter skin than normal #JCblack

— Helen (@hmm5290) February 17, 2014

@JCARTED @JCARTED the ‘aunt Jemima-like’ stereotype creates this wrong portrayal of black women. #JCblack

Racial hierarchies play out in mainstream culture in myriad ways, including that of female beauty standards and norms. #JCblack

Black women considered less “physically attractive” than women of other races for reasons of media portrayal and history. #JCblack

Black is NOT. #jcBlack

Does Judy Chicago adequately address Blackness, Black Beauty, or more importantly Black female sexuality? #jcBlack

— Anya M. Wallace (@NYNFSuperstar) February 14, 2014

Black is less than human. Black Woman, even more so… #jcBlack

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder? not until we remove obscuring oppressive and limiting societal constructs #jcblack

— Sophie (@smn177psu) February 14, 2014

@NYNFSuperstar Judy Chicago’s work doesn’t seem to address race as much, but race issues are intrinsic to feminist issues #jcblack

— Sophie (@smn177psu) February 14, 2014

http://t.co/XbWrXXMYz7 interesting discussion regarding black feminism #jcblack

— Sophie (@smn177psu) February 14, 2014

@JCARTED it’s you of course!

— Mirror Mirror (@mirror_magick) February 15, 2014

feminism may seem all encompassing, but it’s important to reflect on how patriarchy has affected different women differently #jcblack

— Sophie (@smn177psu) February 14, 2014

@smn177psu I’m not sure that’s true. And the reason black women have historically felt left out of the [white] feminist movement.

Love Wanda’s talk yesterday! @JCARTED #jcblack pic.twitter.com/hAugn4phbE

I love how Wanda addressed the fact that we are all technically black. #JCblack

#JCblack black women are considered less physically attractive bc of the way the media portrays how a “normal” person should look

#JCblack tall, blonde, skinny, fair skin.

#JCblack Judy Chicago’s art addresses identity politics, and her teaching has facilitated art on Black female sexuality.

#JCblack This documentary allows women to tell stories of how painful the struggle of being darker skinned can be. http://t.co/YlJF9lYpls

#JCblack how you see yourself is often due to the judgements others give you

#JCblack race shouldn’t determine beauty.

Black women are consider the lesser than the norm bc we are the outsiders that reject the norm #JCblack

— Naeisha (@Dashaun_jm) February 18, 2014

It is a norm that we were taught in slavery, during the CVM, and through elders we will never be accepted into, so why bother? #JCblack

— Naeisha (@Dashaun_jm) February 18, 2014

As a black woman I know that history has created the binary of us being the exotic animal. Unknown=Misconstructed #JCblack

— Naeisha (@Dashaun_jm) February 18, 2014

Ms. Wanda’s discussion touched my soul, but I can’t ignore how blacks are still the minority in JC’s art. #JCblack

— Naeisha (@Dashaun_jm) February 18, 2014

I agree in that many cultures can relate to the different struggles of the Holocaust but images are worth 1000 words #JCblack

— Naeisha (@Dashaun_jm) February 18, 2014

beauty always follows power – will black every be considered beautiful? we can hope #JCblack

“We devalue people because of difference.” It makes me think of what else gets devalued. A shift in thinking seems to be required. #JCblack

Intelligent & thoughtful presentation on topics usually avoided. Fab model of creating a safe space for dialogue! Thanks Wanda! #JCblack

— Heather Ramsay (@RamsayPSU) February 28, 2014

Because we as society have a very limited definition of beauty. #JCblack

— Laura Beyerle (@LBeyerle) February 28, 2014

@RamsayPSU What I picked up from the lecture is that sometimes a dialogue is the best thing- to engage honestly with each other. #JCblack

@LBeyerle @RamsayPSU dialogue / exposure is prob best route to acceptance- so how to make everyone familiar with these ideas? #JCBlack

— HR Geleskie (@roseyhg) March 6, 2014

@RamsayPSU completely agree – if we can all be vulnerable, we can all learn a lot. #JCBlack

The stigmatism of black women being less attractive is long in the past. I mean just look how many people love beyonce and others #JCblack
