Racist forum discussion on black female

So was looking into forums which discuss black issues in addition to this one.

www.overclockers.co.uk/forums/threads/single-black-female-love-island-and-the-problem-with-race-and-dating.18823985/page-2

Literally came across this website and was shocked at the discussion. I reported the thread to the website. It just makes me really sad that young black woken/girls could stumble upon this and read such hatred and blatant racism. It brings back all the memories of my teen and young adulthood days when I really questioned my attractiveness, considered cosmetic surgery and basically suffered insecurity and anxiety.

Have I overreacted...

Ah, our plopper landed just to revive an old thread and make offensive remarks.

No surprise there then.

I'm sick of reporting shit like that. So I'll just leave it and see what happens.

Off to do some gardening.....

I am actually quite lost at what people are talking about when they say black women are ugly. It truly seems to me that we have hit the jackpot with what even Western societies consider beautiful.

We tend to get wrinkles older.

We tend to have more roundedness due to muscle tone.

Our skin sags later in life.

Our skin is less impacted by all things ageing like differences in colouring. You can't literally see through our skin to our flesh.

We are less likely to look sickly and pale.

Our curly hair looks voluminous even if it really isn't!

Our lips are full and lovely.

I do. think western societies dislike flat and big noses and apparently black people have more of those, but most African people I know don't have such noses. Not that I think they are ugly anyway, but talking about conventional western wisdom, and many white people have huge honkers!

I'm not saying we are BETTER looking, but even by western beauty standards designed to make us feel ugly, we do quite well.

The only way you can think black women are ugly is if signs of health and youth equal ugly to you.

I really can't understand why dark skin could be considered ugly apart from through a blatant racist lens. When I was younger I had to literally rethink when I looked at black females. I would first not think they were attractive, then tell myself 'that's bullshit'. This was me as a young teenager. Now, I can't stop looking at some of us we are the image of beauty!

Once you see black beauty, you truly can't go back. I plan on making it so that my children never even need to go through the rethinking stage.

They never go away.

Though some can hold their tongues for a long time.

@CarHire101
Am new to Blackmumnetters so please forgive the time lapse
But
No, I don't think you're overreacting
When will white up their own saggy behinds men (and women too) stop thinking they've the right to dissect black women as they're never been good enough for anyone to like or respect so are perfect for absolute abuse?
Whilst imaging that they know everything there is to know about us
They are not the gods of us black women and can fork off
Willing to bet if you saw these specimens in the actual flesh you'd be ready for a good laugh in some cases the thumbnail pictures give it away
Can imagine them living in their mother's basement and existing on pure frustration
Why don't they go and critique the looks of their own?
Snivelling cowards
There's NOTHING WRONG WITH US; ITS THEM.

Why share these ignorant racist’s bile any further?

Sometimes, actually often, I truly wish we could just switch the internet off 😔
