Black "don't" crack!

[lotussnow]

I know. I know this doesn't apply to every Black person but it's true (in my experience) that a lot of Black people tend to look stunning, gorgeous and naturally look younger than their age.

I'd have posted pictures of regular Black people but I can't for privacy reasons so I'm posting Black celebrities with public image gotten from Google. Whether there's been work done or not, there's no denying the natural youthfulness and beauty still popping.

Regina Hall - 50
Kenneth Babyface Edmonds - 62
Taraji P. Henson - 51

I'll post more. Photos will be between 2020 and now. Mostly 2021. I don't care if it's seen as vain, I'm just celebrating Black beauty. If I don't, who will? Please feel free to add if you want to.

Morris Chestnut - 52
Cynthia Bailey - 54
Gabrielle Union - 49

Why is don't in inverted commas? 🤔

That last lass could be 25

There's a woman at my church I thought was the same age as me - she's 24 years older than me

Iman - 66
Naomi Campbell - 51
Blair Underwood - 57

Afterschoolworry, because "doesn't" is grammatically-correct but the popular phrase is 'Black don't crack'. Expected some "why is it don't and not doesn't" questions, so put it in inverted commas beforehand to show that we know.

Jamie Foxx - 53
Kerry Washington - 44
Nia Long - 51

For the second time in a week I've asked Google tonight "How old is Nile Rodgers". He just does not look nearly 70!

They are all beautiful photos - age defying, fresh and bright!

Sanaa Lathan - 50
LL Cool J - 53

Sanaa Lathan though my God!! Her skin is everything

96!
Dunno who Sanaa Lathan is but she's gorgeous
All of these are good apart from LL. He looks a bit bloated (sorry LL )

Yes because the sun ages your skin. I am in my late fifties. The parts of my body that never see the sun like my breasts have skin that look much younger than my face. Melanin protects you from the sun.

Angela Basset - 63
Jill Marie Jones - 46 (may have been 43 in the picture).
Queen Latifah - 51

Kelly Rowland - 40

Off to bed now. Will continue tomorrow

I'd rather look my age and be valued for my skills than be valued for 'beauty'; which is subjective anyway.

All of the people shown here are immensely talented and valued for their skills. The point of the thread is not about their perceived ‘beauty’.

It's literally about beauty

Please don't 🙄

🤣

I think they all pretty much look their age; unfortunately those who have had surgery actually look older than their real age, when will women learn?!

I get the thread op, right now a similar thread is going on aibu praising white women who don’t look their age and comments are generally positive. Minute someone tries to praise black women all hell breaks lose- proves my feeling than MN is majority white even in BMN
