I forgot to mention you are quite stunning yourself. So what is your deal?
The reason I said what I did about the African I met is because that is my truth. All of the Nigerians I have met have come off as mightier than thou. They have good qualities. I love how my sister in law takes care of her family back home. I have a few friends that are married to Nigerians so I am around them all the time. My friends say they love the way the women take care of family, but they are hard to be around because the are very condescending.
As far as my grammatical errors as long as you get my meaning is my only concern. I never liked language arts in school I thought it was boring as hell. I excelled in anything I found challenging. Math and Science were my strong points.
I have four beautiful kids and I am a stay at home mom.
So people can’t correct your grammtical errors but you can correct others spelling errors? Hmmm..the ways of a hypocrite….
Nope I didn’t say they couldn’t correct them. I said I didn’t care if I made them as long as my meaning came across. Why you so worried about my grammatical errors you should work on reading comprehension. I cause you don’t know what that means. It means understanding what you read. If not seeking understanding. Next time ask what I meant instead of putting words in my mouth.
To all my fellow posters, I apologize if I have offended any of you. It’s just bothers me that someone feels that they can tell me how I need to feel or see things. To be honest, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. What may be beautiful to you may be another thing to me. My field of work is politics and we agree and disagree constantly. But my colleagues,peers and I still continue to respect one another. Even though a fellow blogger has decided to resort to name calling, I’m going to be the bigger person. I’m not going to judge her by her comments. Much love to all my fellow posters. @black I loved your post.

THANKYOU FOR TELLING Maryamb419 THE TRUTH,you are awesome.How the woman looks has nothing to do with anything.People are so hateful, Maryamb419 hasn’t told ‘the truth’ it was her opinion and one she should keep to herself.
-maryamb419 WTF.
“Truth be told. I never like being pretty. Because women were always catty and I would get way more male attention than I wanted. Does my being at a different standard of beauty that the lady mentioned above make me any better than anyone else?”
—Homegirl is having a laugh.I’d really like to see a picture of you.I bet you’re not half as pretty as you think you are.That’s not an attack,that’s me just the’telling the truth’.
Hera to you I say good day sir. If you haven’t noticed I have a pic of me in my post. That’s all I have to say to you that and refer to my previous post. It’s a right way and a wrong way to do everything. If you are trying to get someone to see the light you are going about it the wrong way.
You are telling “your truth” “your opinion” Why should I have to keep mine to myself when you don’t.
Speaking of Hera where is your picture?
For those of you who are curious. You can see my handsome husband ,me and my children here.

Do I have faults? Yep Who doesn’t? Do I have things about the way I look I would like to change yes. I have had four kids and I need to tone up. The faults I am aware of I talk more than I listen, I can be selfish at times, I need to work on having more tact. I need to work on being more patient. I need to learn how to better manage money. I can be shallow at times. Thing is I can admit it. Can you? He who is without sin may cast the first stone. My good points. I am very giving. I read to my kids before I put them to bed at night. I am a great cook(born and raised in Louisiana). I can draw very good( still have a lot to learn). I can sing pretty good. I have a few talent shows under my belt. I am ambitious( I have lots of goals I have set for myself. One of them I have met. I got my dream home.( At least it was until I realized how much of it I have now to clean. I am very witty and easy going unless I am rubbed the wrong way. I will do anything for the people I love. I am a risk taker which can be bad as can be good. The thing I like best about me is that although from time to time I wear fake hair but I never put on airs. I am who I am love me or hate it won’t change unless I feel the need for personal growth.
To Not buying it I say good day sir. Later for you. To someone that does not know me I am sure the remarks I made concerning my looks it may seem conceited. For people who knows me know other wise.
The reason I said what I did about not liking being pretty growing up was because I started getting unwanted sexual attention from boys starting at the age of 4-5. On the playground and in my neighborhood. I was raped from the age of 16-21. As far a women being catty. The friends I had growing up all of their boyfriends at some point or another hit on me. I told them about it and they took the guys side and stop talking to me. This is my reality is it because I was pretty I don’t know but when I was a kid it what I felt and thought. I remember one time this boy kiss me and I didn’t want him to and I bite him and I ended up getting a paddling because I tried to defend myself. However I don’t expect you to understand. How can you? You are only seeing the surface of what I am saying instead trying to see my point of view. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.
just because I said somethings you feel I shouldn’t have. It doesn’t make me a bad person. You don’t even know me. I am not stating any of this because I am trying to justify anything to you Not buying it or Hera I just didn’t want the other board members to get the wrong idea.
maryamb, you’re right, I don’t know you. Perhaps I shouldn’t judge. But hopefully you’ll see that you did quite a bit of judging yourself, which caused a lot of the defensiveness on this board to begin with.
Hearing a bit of your story and checking out your pics online made me check myself (btw you have a beatuiful family) and reminded me of why I am on this site to begin with. It’s not to argue back and forth with other viewers on this site; instead it’s to marvel at the beauty of the black family.
Peace…
i d0N’T THiNK THE 0THER 0NE iS WHiTE . HE L00K MiX bUT THEY ARE SUCH CUTiES .. W0W, i’M SH0CKEd T00
Thank you Not Buying it. I forgot to mention at times I can be judgmental. I doesn’t make it ok. However the first step to solving a problem is to admit you have one. I didn’t realize how much all those things I mentioned in my last post still effected me. After I posted I cried like a baby. Now I feel better and I feel blessed because seeing it in writing helps me see how far I have come after I have been through.
HMMM, Now I am in an interracial marriage and I know my husband would question paternity if our child looked like the darker baby. They are both beautiful, but I personally have never seen a biracial newborn that dark. Please, before you attack me, I am not saying anything is “wrong” with a beautiful dark complexion, just that it’s unusual in this circumstance. I also agree that the other one does NOT look white!
Another example of how black parents genes vary check out Victoria Rowells children. They have different fathers but same mother.

Yeah victoria rowells kids are good example, but what about karyn parsons? I mean wow her daughters white, even whiter than the dad. And her son does look darker skinned. Its weird but i find when its like a mixed race parent with a white parent, if the mixed race person is dark skinned, their baby comes out really white. But ive seen light skinned mixed race people with white partners whos kids are darker than them. you just never know how those genes are gonna blend do you. thats what makes life a nice variety
Beauty is only skin deep….
This is a beautiful couple that had beautiful twins!! May God bless their children to grow up healthy and strong no matter what color they are! Black people come in all shades…and they are all Beautiful!!
Just to give you a sense of the underlying racism of this article, see how the “dark-skinned” baby’s name is not published, but the “light-skinned” baby has a name - Ryan. Mmmh. Makes you wonder.
