I found it quite interesting that Europeans chose to refer to Ms Saarjite Baartman as Hottentot Venus, because in European culture Venus is defined as above and beyond the standards of beauty and she was considered quite the opposite. Black beauty has been defined by Europeans standards since time began and still continues to this day just look at the latest Urban videos the girls have gone from Mulatto, to Latino, to European. Im not against it I am for all kinds of beauty, but there seems to be no variety anymore where are all the dark skin girls at. Hottentot was an early form of mocking the black standard of beauty and since her there have been several, but isn't it funny as much as Hottentot Venus's ass was mocked European women are now killing themselves to have a bigger backside. Butt implant surgery is one of the most popular among white woman can you say Kim Kardarsian???? Just a thought what are yours.
