There appears to be a checklist that requires all the ticks marked off for one to be considered African and aesthetically pleasing in the west. I never knew what HOA privilege was until recently. Apparently, its about the archetypical horn of African phenotype being seen as standard of beauty among people of sub-Saharan African decent. So non-HOA blacks will feel flattered for being mistaken for a horner. They might also go to great lengths by using makeup to contour their features or shell out money to ruin their hair and features to look the part.

If only they knew companies prey and exploit their insecurities to get them to spend mega bucks. If only they channeled their lacag toward something more productive.

What are your thoughts?

As someone who has been around non HOA blacks this is a lie. The hair part maybe true, but the others is not. If this mentality existed woman like Kerry Washington, Lola Monroe, and Tracee Ellis Rose would be put on a higher plane than other woman in the circle of "beauty" amongsts blacks which they are not. I think your mistaking this for simply "blacks" realizing these "different looking africans" are indeed "black" and them gettting a little "new toy" attention. Its really not that deep, and black woman do not put on makeup to loook more "Horner" where do you even get this from. Amongst some blacks esp carribeans they consider somalis "funny looking" and not in a good way, Ive heard them point out somalis looks just as much as somalis may point out there noses.

Yes he does, he himself identifies as a "black" someone of west african descent. So in general when hes rapping hes referring to the woman in his group he does not need to point them out specifically.. he does not need to point them out like he does "east african" as he sees them as something different. When ricky martin made living lavita locka did he need to point out the fact he was talking about his own spanish woman. No. Pathetic how you trying to boost your self esteem by a black mentioning you in 1 damn song and then try to flip it like its them with the self esteem issues. Same shit when he mention that wallahi line how excited somalis got. Your self esteem is low which is why you want this hypothosis to be true so you can have someone to feel above to feel good. BTW to these rappers your just another flower to fuck, its not like there looking at you as anything else than an ass to smack. Dont get gassed.

She doesn't look cauc, her nose is significantly smaller than average, and her lips are bigger than average. It is also common knowledge that Caucs are more hairy, had you not been married to your right hand you would know how hairy cauc girls really are. But anyway, you're right, majority of Somali women don't look like that model, because majority of white women don't look like white models either. lol.
