Redefining the Face Of Beauty

STUNNING "BEAUTIES!"

These laddies are both stunning, however, I was not referring to them. When people view America the stereotype of beauty is Caucasian, blue eyes and blond.

There are many blond bombshells, but, it is not the only beauty that exists. The harsh reality is that America continues to brand the symbol of "beauty" using specific images. Beauty is much more than skin deep, but young adults are often taught to believe that if they do not look like this, they are not beautiful. Unfortunately, young women compare themselves to these false standards. As a country, America has failed to acknowledge that beauty is not only skin deep, but it includes many more ethnicity's.

If you are reading this and you think that this is another "black is beautiful" article...you are wrong. Although, black females have been advertised as some of the most unattractive women, they are not the only victims to cruelty. Hispanic women are amongst those who are widely criticized, particularly Mexican women.

In America and many other countries, Mexicans are treated as second class citizens. Even within the Hispanic race, Mexicans have the reputation of being "the lowest." They are viewed as "dirty" and only good enough to "work in your backyard" or "picking fruit." If you stand up for a Mexican and say they are "beautiful" it is considered an abomination. Well, I guess I am about to commit the greatest abomination of all time, but first education and knowledge are the keys to help stop the "horrible" racism that affects people of every ethnicity. Prejudice arises from ignorance. We fear what we do not know or understand.

Mexico underseige!

News on Mexico, Presidency!

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MEXICO!

In recent years, Mexico has been considered one of the most violent and dangerous countries to visit. Americans have been strongly advised to stay out of Mexico. There has been an epidemic of drug wars and gang related deaths. Today, the same trouble exists, and Mexico is facing a harsh reality of change with the new presidential debate that is going on within their country.

"What does this information have to do with me?"

If you catch yourself thinking this, my answer is "EVERYTHING!" We have plenty of Mexicans that are in our country. Whether you believe they "belong" over here or not, is not the issue. What has become inappropriate, is the treatment of Mexicans as property or suggesting that a "class" of people are not as good as you because of their ethnicity. Before you shake your finger at the white man, Caucasians are not the only race who are guilty of this, EVERYONE is. While we are quick to cry racist, many of us have failed to understand that we often treat other cultures in the same "bad" way we are treated.

Perhaps the key to changing the way people view your culture, is to change the way you think about those outside of your ethnicity. Ask yourself one question:

"Why should a person expect to be treated equally, when they are victimizing other cultures in a similar manner?"

ANSWER....

They should not!

Change the way you view others, and maybe others will change the way they view you. Racism and prejudice stems far beyond black and white. It is a worldwide problem that exists from ignorance. Thoughts like these also create unrealistic views of "everyone." The results can be devastating and deadly....

If you have not heard the latest on the ignorant confusion that took the innocent lives of others, here is your opportunity.

MEXICAN FEMALE BEAUTIES BELOW!

Mexicans are actually beautiful. For the ladies out there who feel that the following pictures are sexually explicit or inappropriate, I would question if it is a matter of "having respect for yourself" or a lack of confidence because you feel intimidated by the beauty of other women. I encourage other women to stop hatred. Stop degrading yourself because you don not feel beautiful. Confidence is SEXY! BE CONFIDENT!

BE YOU!

Also, before anyone is quick to judge and say, well these ladies are photoshopped or not a representation of the "actual" culture, please feel free to email me a major magazine that did not use photoshop on ANYONE....
