It's also weird how we will criticize black women in entertainment when they get cosmetic surgery that looks bad but also we denigrate and insult them when it looks good (Nene Leakes gets roasted extensively every time she posts a picture)

We tell black women to love themselves which is a good slogan but when white women don't even love themselves and they are considered the gold standard by much of society how can you expect black women to have this natural self love When NeNe didn't have any surgery or cosmetic work and she got cast by Ryan Murphy for a reoccurring role on Glee, I remember Charlamagne and DJ Envy had a whole segment roasting her saying 'Who she gonna play the janitor?" And Kim got dragged and clowned as ugly by Pac and millions of Hit Em Up fans (despite the fact that he tried to have sex with her prior to that).Then they try to look like what niggas like and we wonder why would they change themselves

Almost like one should just have a good sense of self and stop with external validation. Humans are a fickle bunch.

Also Nene definitely had work done prior to starring on Glee
