Three points.................
1. I am sexist.
I dont' believe women or men are superior to the other but I do believe that being biologically and even psychologically different both have separate roles to play in society.
2. Dark skinned women of color SHOULD NOT imitate White women in terms of make-up.
What looks good on them doesn't necessarily look good on our women and vice versa.
Red lipstick and blue eye shadow is for lightskinned women with blue/green eyes.
At the risk of sounding gay (I'm homophobic as well)...........
Black women of her complexion should wear a darker shade of brown.
3. Finally....
Let us be clear, the "ole boy" network is made up of WHITE men, not all men in general.
Black men should never be accused of being in some "good ole boy" group.
