Well I need White folks to justify why they feel black woman are stinky and ugly but yet our black men are good enough for them to date and marry.

ashanti looks wonderfull .i honestly think wendy is black trying to stir up trouble and to get black women to stop wearing weaves. to the other posters that are commenting against her you sound just as ignorant as her. dont fight ignorance with ignorance. how does a white woman dating a black mean she hates being white and visa versa. second dont act like some black celebrities have not had their noses done or properly contemplated it. third obviously white people in general have had more plastic surgery just because theres more white people in america than blacks and more white people can afford it .

All three of you are simple minded and the reason that racism and seperation is still a problem in our society. It shouldn’t matter what color you are it’s what on the inside that makes you who you are. So just because you wear weave or tan you are insecure? What a way to think…this is a free world if you want to date outside your race, get a boob job, wear weave, tan, whatever this is the time to do it because you only get one life…and you guys are really trying to “defend” your race when reality is there is the same issues in ALL races…there are insecure, poor people, and interracial dating in black, white, chinese, mexican and the list goes on…So please people stop judging it is sooo unneccessary….LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE and let others live there’s too….

Great cause and Ashanti looks sincere.
So what happened to Beyawnsay’s Helping Hands of America motivation? Guess the tour is over she has no reason to pretend to give a damn about poor, hungry kids anymore.

Wendy if you weren’t too stupid you could see that Ashanti had long hair when she was little as with most black women. Just because our mothers took the time to comb our hair when we were little and didnt let it hang out like such a mess didnt mean we didnt have any I guess she was wearing a weave when she was small too there are plenty of black women with natural long hair I see more naturally long hair black women then I see ones wearing weave me included you fool.
