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.

Aww Chadwick Boseman, such a loss. Black Panther is an amazing movie.

Can cry now 😢 😭 this thread is killing me.

The different shades of beautiful brown skin. Melanin popping.😍

Melananin popping another great new user name @lotussnow

Oh yes! Didn't even notice that.

Look out for all of them at some point on bmn

@lotussnow

On the other end of the spectrum you've got Morgan Freeman who was born looking 58 grin

Don't mess with Pa Morgan. Some of us have to take one for the team! He still doesn't age and has looked the same since I was little till now. So win win!

(Only, isn't he in a relationship with his adopted daughter's child?)

This might be the best thread I have ever seen!

Thank you sooooo much!

Looking this good despite all the stresses of racism.

The sun loves us. We don't need to run from the life giving source!!!

Ida Keeling, passed away this year aged 106.

She needs to take a bow on this thread.
(I want to be this woman when I grow up!)

If you've a few minutes, here's a woman beautiful both inside and out.

@debbrianna, get a clean hankerchief, you might need it girl!

Used to look 15 years younger than my age but new job has me looking my real age! waaaahhhh!!! 😩

You and I would be so lucky....

Meanwhile, Dawn in Marketing and Publicity at Astra HQ was expecting another quiet week. After her mind numbingly quiet month and and even more mind numbingly boring year. In fact she was just wondering whether to fish out her CV and send it over to Palmers, or Vaseline, who she hears are booming at this time of the year; and especially looking for that black pound, have lots of advertisement in Oprah Magazine, Essence et al.

When all of a sudden, her mailbox hits maximum capacity, as far and wide, high and low, pharmacies and high street heath shops have had their shelves cleared by marauding women chanting "Black don't crack! Black don't crack". Even the Afro hair and beauty shops have sold out.

Forget bitcoin, my money's in Astral!

That's a wise move @BlackAndGreen . Could be a good idea for another thread, which companies could be good to invest in for women of colour.

Ms Ida Keeling at 104 and half was stronger than me! 😯 Push ups, running and eating everythaaang!

Thanks for posting her @TheBlackDarner, that was amazing. Definitely black don't crack - she didn't look near 100, let alone past it.

There's a thread about John Lewis Christmas advert, where some posters are surprised that two of the actors are both 14 years old irl because they thought the boy was much younger and the girl, much older than that.

All I could think of while reading their posts was "Well, I'm not surprised. Black don't crack".

omg I love this thread!

Great thread
Just thought that I would have a nose
Black definitely don’t crack

Black "don't" crack!

Indeed! Love them all and our beautiful brown skin.
