Tyra Banks Show on Monday November 19th 2007

This show was soooooooooooo deep!! It was an experiment on Sex and sexual attraction by the different races....so where do I begin??

The one white guy, Mark IS CRAZY!!!!!!!! He said Black women and Latinas are fatter cuz they can't afford good food? WTF!??!?! Whoa!!! And then the comment about describing black women as being like deers with the big eyes? MISGUIDED!! whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! My mouth dropped! It was like he was trying to give compliments but in a cutting way?? lol....when the one female caucasian audience member got up and freaked out on him saying all white women look plastic but are usually skinnier because they can afford plastic surgery?? I almost fell out my chair!!! The generalizations!! DEEP!!!

And the black dude Pierre is LOST!! Whoa! Self Hate!! Black women all look the same??? Sooooooooo offense!!! How our looks are boring, and he kept saying the very features he had, in women were ugly to him?? It was like how much self hate do you have!! Its soooooooo overt in him!! Sad!
If he would wake up and look around, he would see all the beautiful shapes and sizes that black women come in!! We are a very versatile people! And I celebrate that part of my heritage and appreciate it! Its so sad when a black man doesn't realize this, and puts us down!!

I had to shake at the one black girl model who was super skinny and the majority of the men were unattracted to her and her saying that most men of color have no interest in her, which why she usually dates white men.

And Im not even going to get into the comments about black women and weaves!! WTF...ROTFLMAO!!

And the sex comments about the different races:
Jiang saying Asian women make Japense anime sounds??? LMAO!! TOO DAMN FUNNY!!
Seeing dollar signs in the white women's eyes?? TOO MESSED UP!!! What the heck is WRONG with that Mark guy!!
Coldest fish in the bedroom -white women?? Are they CRAZY!!! Black guy Pierre again opened his mouth and proved what a moron he actually is : Latinas only wanting to have 8+ kids and ish!! wow!! Just....WOW
Most promiscuos - white women akin Mark and the Asian guy, Dulove....
and once again Mark chimes in with his comments - Saki, malt liquor and tequila and beer!!! LMAO!! WHOAAAAAAAA WHAT AN A$$! "Every race has their drink of choice"

The sexual fantasy segment:
Caucasian woman - having the Asian and Latino men
Latina woman - Asian, white and black men
Black woman - alone - not a sexual fantasy
Asian woman - Black, latino and white

Who they would take home to their mothers/marry segment:
Asian woman - Asian and white
Black woman - ONE Black
Latino woman - Latino
Caucasian - Black, white, and latino

Overall I think this show was interesting because I very rarely watch the Tyra Banks show, but the topic today really got to me. Being a young woman of mixed ancestry, some of the comments made offended me. All different races come in very different shapes, sizes and colors, so some of the commentary made was waaaaaaaay to generalized!! Anyone that knows me, knows I am a feminist and more importantly a womanist!! Society needs to change or re-evaluate the way we define whats beautiful. This eurocentric notion of beauty is unrealistic and ridiculous and most importantly, I feel, racist. I think the 2nd to last segment really got to me the most...the black woman is not a sexual fantasy to ANY of the races!!! and only ONE man, a black man, deemed her the race he would marry/take home. Are we as a race, so full of self hate that we can't see the beauty we possess ourselves as beautiful to each other? what the heck is that all about!! I have a various mixture, being light skinned complexion, short, petite and top heavy, with long black hair, so it made me think where I would fit in the different assessments given by the men. Isn't this 2007?? I thought we had come a long way since the civil rights movements but its evident: We still have a long long way to go in reassessing ourselves.....
