black women don't think they're mixed silly
alot of Africans still have their natural hair its just the Aframs and European Africans that don't

There are a lot of beautiful fully Black/African women.

I don't consider straightening ones hair as a form of wanting to be white or mixed. It's a hair style to me. Sometimes my hair is straightened, sometimes natural and curly and sometimes braided. Also, not all black people have "nappy hair" as you put it and there are light skinned blacks, who are not mixed.

exactly but unfortunately the media protray Mulattoes/Mix raced people as the most beautiful of the black race. you never see many full bloods singing, dancing, teaching, and being elected, the media seems to only pick very light skinned blacks (obviously mixed) instead of a Nigerian or Ugandan! you rarely see dark skinned Africans in ads, TV shows etc
you get me?

i had to quit half way... i really really can't stand the way she types. its one thing to hear it spoken out loud, its another to have to read it, shits giving me a headache.

you don't have to be mixed to be pretty, doctor scientia posted some pictures not to long ago that proves that point.. plus whats beautiful here might not be whats beautiful in other parts of the world or at different points in time..

Well said. I never saw it as being white either..., but a style. I don't get the big deal and whites are not the only race to have straighter hair. heck there are many whites who don't even have straight hair. i know white women with naturally curly hair who straighten their hair. so are they trying to be white when they are? how can someone say straight hair is exclusively white? *rolls eyes*

I agree- curly hair can be a pain, and so women of any ethnicity might straighten it for convenience and style. I know how it is (hence my user name). Fashion is fashion- and it is rarely racially motivated IMO.

Well, to answer your question, whites think mixed (black/white) people are beautiful because they are closer to them in features. It doesn't necessarily make their statement true. Most people view others that are closer to them in features as being beautiful and those further away from those features as ugly. Again, it doesn't make it true. As elone said, beauty is different to everyone.
