I think there are probably a lot of different factors that contribute to this phenomenon, but one of the big ones is the media, especially television. I do not believe most people watch television critically and thoughtfully; therefore, a large part of the population propably tends to subconsciously accept what TV tells us about female beauty: it is white, it is thin, submissive and has big boobs. It’s hard to find beautiful black women on TV, with the possible exception of music videos, but I don’t believe women are appropriately portrayed there, either.

The first guy I kissed was black. I was 14, he was 15. I realize that what motivates teenagers and adults are two different things, but I remember that his race was a non-issue to me – until my parents threw a fit about it. It didn’t occur to me that his blackness would matter to anyone; I thought that was the old-school racism of the 1950s. It shows how naive I was! All I saw was a sweet, attractive boy who seemed to think I was sweet and attractive. I wish all of society could feel that way.
