The ideal beauty was Caucasian(We have surrendered that value along with all others.)

If these people only knew how old, worn out, and clichéd their constant obsession with race and skin color has become they might back off a little.

Whining about race has become nothing more than meaningless background noise - like car tires humming on the interstate off in the distance.

This is actually exactly the same thing as the fact that a great many tools and other devices are difficult for lefties to use.

If you’re part of a minority group, you will have fewer mass market items customized to your needs.

Back in the 80s or 90s some black woman noticed that the makeup shades available were designed to complement caucasion skin coloring. She further noticed that these bright red lips and pink rouge on black women looked unnatural and not especially pretty, but lacking alternatives these ladies wore them anyway.

Instead of hand wringing or complaining she decided to create a line of makeup in a pallet of colors specifically favoring darker skin tones. And she cleaned up with it. There's a lesson there.

Just wear traditional African garb. They won’t need to worry about bras or any of that sort of stuff. (too many years of reading National Geographic, I suppose)

"spend all their time seeking ways to be offended"

What you said. The race industry has been telling people for fifty years that things like this (light-colored bandages, etc.) somehow cause pain to black and dark-skinned people.

If I lived in a country that was 90% black and the band-aids were colored the same tone as the majority of the people, should I be offended at not finding any that are a slightly paler skin tone similar to my skin color?

Regular skin-toned band-aids for whites are still darker than my skin color and easily observed. Should I ask/demand Johnson and Johnson make even paler ones?

“Mocha” sounds sexier. But braless is even more so. The ball isn’t the only thing which bounces in women’s basketball. It isn’t even what attracts the most attention.

Naked is all of one’s clothes off.
Nude is none of the clothes on.

The black woman who came up with those hair products (and styling book) a century ago became a millionaire in the 1920s and her company is still around today.

I was thinking more of a fabric that showed whatever color was beneath it. Considering the wide variety of skin tone among ‘white’ people, I am surprised that no one had thought of this.

The way I heard it, the difference between nude, naked, and nekkid is...

If you’re nude, you’re not wearing any clothes.

If you’re naked, you’re not wearing any clothes and you’re looking for trouble.

If you’re nekkid, you’ve found it!

There have been bras of all colors for most of my life. I’ve had brown bras and have seen them in many shades everywhere. I call BALONEY.
On the other hand, I have wanted “Gold Bond” to make their powder in Black so it doesn’t show on my black clothes.
