[hijack] And it bugs me no end that the East Coast basically doesn’t have any. ☹ [/hijack] I’ve never seen a black woman naked, and while I’m always happy to see _any_ mildly (or more) attractive woman naked, black, white, Oriental, whatever - if it doesn’t happen, I’m willing to take it on faith (aided by having seen my share of pix) that seeing a black woman naked isn’t really _that_ much different from seeing a white woman naked. ---

I remember back to 1974, when I joined the Army. I’d lived a somewhat sheltered life, and the only naked people I’d ever seen were the other girls after gym class. **Then** comes basic training, and the shower stalls with two poles, and six water heads on each pole. **Whoa** , talk about seeing people of all colors naked! Did _I_ ever get a quick social education! And I learned that even darker people(I was pasty white) can tan. We were in South Carolina in August, and it could be clearly seen in the shower that _everybody’s_ arms and face were getting darker. Guess I’d never thought about it before. ---

I don’t know what is going on between you and Guin, but your posts are confusing me! As to the color issue, I have a mixed background and would often get stares when showing more than the regular amount of skin. One of the weird questions that seem to be frequent was when I would be in a swimsuit. People would ask me, “Are you that color all over?” in amazement. Well, actually, the parts that you can’t see are stark white! With cleavage like LNC, maybe they are just amazed and envious. I’m straight, but if I saw bare decolletage like that, I’d probably get busted staring too! 🙂 It may have nothing to do with color! Of course, you could just ask **Shayna** , she’s seen me at least partially naked. Maybe she could offer some insite. Of course, that’s a different story altogether… ---

Check out her Ask the Black Woman thread in IMHO. Also, note she gets annoyed when white women ask if her public hair is nappy, or what have you, but then goes and says, “I can’t believe White Women have VEINS in their asses!” Can we say Pot Kettle Black? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Guinastasia \* > \*\*Can we say Pot Kettle Black? \*\* Not quite sure we can yet, Ms. Rogers. She was complaining about strangers coming up to her and asking personal questions about her pubic hair. She then made a comment here that she was surprised when she saw that they had veins in their butts, but did not start making similarly personal remarks to them. Do you see a difference? Because I do. And I think your “racist bitch” comment was over the top. ---

His sister and brother-in-law had recently gotten a pool installed in their backyard and I’m not a good swimmer, so we’d only gone swimming together about 3 or 4 times prior. Y’all shoulda seen the look on his face. :eek: What made it even funnier is that he was truly embarrassed for not knowing and I pretended to be all indignant and upset about it. Made for quite an amusing afternoon at his in-laws becuase, to tell the truth, I don’t think they realized it either but were too embarrassed to say so. 😃 ---

Hey Viv, I’m going to go with a whold different angle, that will completly toss the black/white/green/mauve issue out the door. I have LNC boobs. I don’t really like 'em, but I’ve got them. When I was about 13, there was a kid in my neighborhood who loved [sub]I can’t believe I’m going to type this[/sub] to give ‘titty twisters’ Please don’t make me explain. So I became REALLY self consious of my body, especially my chest. Dressing for gym class was torture. Fast forward 10 years. At some point I got over the issue. This has been pointed out to me many times by friend while getting dressed to work out. Apparently, I just take off my clothes and wander around changing or doing whatever it is you do in the locker room. If I want to weigh myself I take every fucking piece of clothing I’ve got on, OFF and march over to the scale. No towel, no robe, just me. I don’t really care. Don’t know why I don’t care. Don’t care why I don’t care. But it seems other people CARE! My friends tell me people(women) are staring. Well shit, if they look, its their own damn fault. A nekkid Miss Creant is not a pretty site, but shit I didn’t tell you to stare. So my guess it that these women are staring, not because you’re black, but because, you’re not embarrassed by walking naked to the shower! Which frankly, seems the only way to do it. I mean come on people, doesn’t your stuff get wet? ---

My language was perhaps a bit strong. However, I don’t appreciate Vivian’s generalizations, such as leave it to White people to bankrupt OJ, white people smell like raw meat, blah blah blah. What if I were to come here and say, “Hey, all blacks eat watermelon?” Or leave it to black people to acquit a man just because he’s black? Or all you black people smell like , oh shit, um, hardboiled eggs? Oh, but that’s just MY opinion, and I’m just being honest. :rolleyes: ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by GrizzRich \* > \*\*Really want to shake them up? Shave “down there” or trim the bush into an unusual shape. THAT’LL give 'em something to talk about! \*\* Yeah, maybe you should try shaving “Hi!” into it. That would be hilarious! Wanna know why I’m staring? Because I’m jealous. I’m pale, pasty, white, and veiny. Not only are their veins in my ass, but there are clearly visible veins across my breasts. My nipples are fairily pale. I have freckles. Everywhere. This is, of course, accentuated by the fact that I have very dark hair. Gross. You, on the other hand (I’m guessing about you personally, not making generalizations about Blacks) have no visible blue lines criss-crossing your body. Your ass doesn’t get dimpled when you gain three pounds. Your thighs are taut. You don’t have any freckles, red marks, contrasting hairs or other flaws dancing across your skin. Lust and envy. To be near such a body, or to be the owner of one. I try not to stare, but I have to try to sneak a glimpse of what I’m missing. Sigh… -L ---

Perhaps **Guin** has a point, but she should have _made_ that point rather than following the object of her anger to another thread and lashing out with the name calling. As someone who hadn’t yet seen **vivian’s** other thread, I saw the ‘bitch’ quote and thought, “Where the hell did that come from? Are veins _that_ offensive?” Now that I’ve read through the ‘Ask the…’ thread, I have to say **Vivian** has made some less than enlightened comments. I also don’t think ‘I’m just being honest’ is a valid excuse for them. I’ll reserve judgment though, and wait to see if she is thoughtful enough to rethink some of her misconceptions. ---

Of course there’s always some positives and some negatives about the physical appearance of members of different races (when naked, in this case), and it goes without saying that a lot of it just depends on personal tastes (quite a few people, like myself, have found that the most beautiful creature in the world to them is of a different race). But I can’t help thinking it is a bit strange, all the white girls talking about how they envy black girls because they don’t have pasty white skin and blue veins everywhere. Okay, no veins, but anyone can tell you that the darker your skin is, the more visible all stretch marks are. I could go on a point-counterpoint list for all these things, but I don’t have the time, and that would make it seem like me objective was in knocking the naked black body, which it is not. It just seems to me that a lot of white people on who have posted are overdoing their worship of blackness in order to win brownie points (no racial pun intended).
