: Last week, People magazine came out with its 100 MOST BEAUTIFUL list. There were only a handful of Black women on there (Rihanna, Beyonce, Halle, Kerry Washington and Zoe Saldana). So there was no Gabrielle Union, Nia Long, or Michelle Obama.
Instead . . . they chose to include PRECIOUS . . .
Wow, no Gabrielle or Michelle Obama?
No offense to Gabby, but this shows what type of Black women Whites want us to believe are are "acceptable" black beauty.
Anywho, I thought this was more about who is current this year, so what put's Halle up there? Other than the fact that she is (fill in the blank). smh
ummmm they obviously were tryin to be funny.....or make Black people feel better......whatever the case may be that is NOT wats poppin she gives big Black women like myself a horrible name making society think that we all have pork sausage fingers and talk like we have cake in our mouths.......its jus sad
"Hey adults on MTO, let's make fun of the big black girl. That's something that's never been done before." All you ugly *** leaving ugly comments about this woman is exactly why People mag chose her. Because her heart is pure and yes she is a way more beautiful PERSON than ANY of you racist, and self-hating *** on this thread.
see,beloved, craKKaz are subtle. Like giving Hattie McDaniel and Butterfly McQueen awards for playing house ***,Denzel for a rogue cop but not Malcolm X,and Halle Berry for likking Monster's *** but she was a craKKhead in Jungle Fever and Gator couldn't even get no brain. Encouraged ***-Z 2 set himself up as a god,with grafted wife.They and the BlaKKwoman,as the only free people in the U.S.***. made TylerFairy a star-THE CASTRATED BLAKKMAN. Know your enemy...
@misshugrad are u f.ucking serious wat white people want us to accept, as black people we should be embracing her based off her accomplishments and beauty she possesses inside *** out. It's sad tht white people are the ones to acknowledge that and we r on here bashing her as ignorant azz black people.
As for the rest of you ignorant azz people your a prime example of the set back of black people, she's accomplished somethng and has a positive attitude but all u care to do is belittle her smfh it's really disgusting
That's completely inappropriate.
I love Gabby.
But she *** be on a "most" beautiful list. She herself should have declined because she was making a mockery of the list.
And the tips she gives -- vaseline, etc. So ghetto.
Also, she can't take the way she looks "out of the equation." That's stupid. What she can do is take care of herself, eat well and exercise.
Healthy is beautiful.
Gabourey has a beautiful spirit but she needs to lose some *** weight. There is nothing wrong with a woman having a voluptuous shape but she is severely obese. She needs to think about her health and all the health complications she is prone to (diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, poor circulation and the list goes on).
Sidenote: How is she so flat chested?? I don't get it?
Anyway, if Gabby would have been left off the list, people would think she didn't make because of her weight and skin color...If she made the list (which she did) people would think they asked her to be on it simply because of her weight and skin color. So either way, she loses. Sad.
MTO will never be voted anything but "Biggest Haterz." Gabby is and will be more than you stank fruity b!tches will ever be. You can be a beautiful person without fitting the stereotypical standards of physical attractiveness. Why can't you angry as$holes be happy for the girl? This represents a MAJOR achievement in her career! You and all that agree with you are some hideous, zit covered d!ckheaded boogerwolves whose features ugliness are only surpassed by the hate and self-loathing inside.
international banker edomite craKKaz are not going to get up in a person's face like we do,calling u a ***@,they just treat us like 1.they are the unseen hand. making this girl "beautiful" is more about spectacle and that movie & gossip around the watercooler than it is about her looks. Monique won for their novelty @ something we see perpetually: The incontent earth with all the tremors,tempests,fire and ice that comes from being in the world.
im gonna keep it real , i dont find her attractive in the least bit ,but she seems like a sweet person. i truly think fred made this thread just because he knew alot of cruel *** are gonna have a field day with this thread talkin bout her weight and *** , im not gonna talk about her , but if somebody say some funny *** about her i am gonna laugh
Please Stop. Those of you going after Mike (who I am not defending) are calling him horrible names because of his COLOR. (So you're guilty of the same prejudice he has!). He's been called milk dud, crispy, fresh out of the cotton fields, etc.
This shows such deep internal racial hate. Self-hate.
If you are pro-Gabby and pro-black people, do not mock someone because of the darkness of their skin.
Do not consider dark and black to be bad and ugly.
I AM CONVINCED.. CORPORATE WHITE PEOPLE ARE ***. LOOK AT THEIR LATEST TRENDS "ADOPTING CHILDREN OF COLOR *** ETHNICITY" . BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT BABY SANDRA *** JUST ADOPTED IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BABY! NOW SAYIN THE NOTORIOUS PRECIOUS IS BEAUTIFUL IS REALLY PUSHING IT. THOUGH SHE MAY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PERSONALITY, HOWEVER THAT IS WHAT THE ARTICLE WAS ABOUT... A$$HOLES. I HATE LIARS
SHE IS BEAUTIFUL..............AND WILL BE EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL WHEN SHE LOSES WEIGHT........
BLAME THE JEWS,FOR THE MIND-SET OF SOME OF YOU IN-THE-BOX THINKING MOORISH PEOPLE..........
THEY DO OWN THE MEDIA,FEDERAL RESEVRE,THE HOSPITALS,AND OL YEAH THEY HAVE A POWERFUL INVESTMENT IN YOU GUYS, JESUS CHRIST.........
THE WORLD AINT WHAT IT USE TO BE..........
Congrats to Gabby!!! SHE IS EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL!!! MTO YES LET'S TEAR DOWN A POSITIVE BLACK WOMAN JUST BECAUSE SHE IS NOT A SIZE TWO... YOU B@ST@RDS NEVER HAVE ANYTHING POSITIVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS WOMAN..AND FOR ALL YOU DUMB *** *** WHO ARE LEAVIN NASTY COMMENTS ABOUT GABBY YOU PROBABLY HAVE A MOTHER, SISTER OR ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER WHO RESEMBLES THIS WOMAN SO STOP BEING A SELF HATIN COON. WHAT HAVE YOU ACCOMPLISHED WITH YOUR LIFE? IS IT ANYTHING AS REMARKABLE AS GABBY? PROBABLY NOT, UR JUST NASTY & UGLY AS HELL ON THE INSIDE AND NEED TO TALK *** ABOUT OTHERS TO MAKE URSELF FEEL BETTER
You know....it's a really, really sad world that we live in when folks judge other folks solely on their looks. So many shallow, clueless people. Beauty eminates from the inside first and foremost. Not being judgmental, but some folks really need to get in touch with their maker to get a clue. Peace and Blessings.
Oh mto loves to start people up. Beauty is defined differently person to person. Gabby Sidibe has a lovely personality - Gabby Union has a rotten attitude. You can be as pretty as you want to be but with a bad attitude no one will want to be around you. So *** it up and the people you recommended aren't any better just thinner. Michelle O? LMAO! With her Forest Whitaker eyes! Let's see what your staff(yeah right) look like?
This topic and thread irritates me to no end because most of you judgemental, self loathing, ignorant individuals are so stupid. So, People magazine has recognized Gabourey Sidibe for her "beauty"...inside and out. You people are so warped and shallow that you don't realize this list is much more than nose jobs, face lifts and makeup & hair. And now you're accusing this "White" magazine of glorifying her as a joke??? ARE YOU SERIOUS??? What has OUR community done for her except mock and belittle her for being a dark skinned, overweight woman. Hell, MTO refuses to call her by her birth name....
And some of you have the nerve to accuse People magazine (who ALWAYS gets the truth and isn't out to make us look bad) of showcasing Blacks that THEY want us to "worship" DUMBASSES PLEASE!!! What does that say about most of your comments about her being fat and "black"??? But had that been Amber Rose or Angel Lola Luv or whatever her name is there would be no issue. Shame on you MTO for such a headline. This is the most self loathing site on the web. You don't speak for all Black America....just the ones that hate themselves and love to come here to judge others that are way more successful.
@ mikeharris the only chick that wont u are white one.........I see it like this the reason you dont want to date blk womens is b/c blk chick get theirs i'm a blk *** 26 and on top of my game. and i have not 1 not 2 but 3 college degreea and go for my doctors and im the head *** in charge at work and own 2 other companys
gabby do ya thing girl!!!!!!!!!1
Precious, Precious, Precious! I see potential in her outer appearance. She has cute features but she would look so much better if she dropped the weight. She doesn't have to be skinny but she looks so much older especially in that pic with all that weight. However she seems to have a great spirit. I agree somewhat with the popularity thing. So many standard beauties have graced our television and Precious got nominated. It puzzles me cause we all know Hollywood is shallow. She seems sweet though. So maybe she was voted for her beautiful spirit and personality.
Personally i really hate these kind of list.... Cus seriously ta me these celebs arent the most beautiful.. Cus ALL of'em wear LBs of fakeup & mounds *** mounds of sum chinese womens hair.... So until they start sending people around the dag on world ta come up with these results & NORMAL people r featured.. These kinda list arent rite.... Cus celeb women & even wen they do the mens list isnt rite cus their not the only beautiful r most handsom on this planet....
I hope Sidibe beats out all those chicks. I am tired of America's idea of beauty (long weave, pounds of makeup, size 0-2, bad attitude)
@TheBrokenSlilence...you are right. Sometimes a personality will make you look pretty in some people's eyes.
To me a person is attractive with how they carry themselves. But I am a woman so I know men will beg to differ with my theory. LOL.
Hey adults on MTO, let's make fun of the big black girl. That's something that's never been done before." All you ugly *** leaving ugly comments about this woman is exactly why People mag chose her. Because her heart is pure and yes she is a way more beautiful PERSON than ANY of you racist, and self-hating [EXPLETIVE] on this thread. ================================ Yippie! Someone finally made sense. It can happen on MTO. I cosign to the 100th power.
I can't believe you guys fall for these trolls. Ignore them and quit giving them ammo for their foolishness. If Mike Harris was real, who gives a care who this non-entity dates. I can't imagine a woman of any race who would want such a *** yellow bus riding, low IQ having, probably didn't graduate from kindergarden loser.
Ok, the whole thing with precious is crazy but let's get 1 thing straight MTO, Zoe Saldana is not Black, she has a Dominican Father and a Puerto Rican Mother and spent mostly all her childhood in DR, let's not get ppl confuse here and try to claim her for her success as your own, Ya can ride Beyonces *** all day if ya want but you don't see ppl confusing her as a puertorican...get ya facts straight.
I'm actually glad there's alot of pressure on women to be thin and healthy. Although some of the methods and name-calling can be extremely cruel and hurtful, the end result is the preservation of life. Heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and strokes are not supposed to be treated as punchlines to assorted jokes. There is no rational excuse for a woman to be this morbidly obese.
*** tha hell up, Rose777! You know *** well folks are trippin on him because he is repulsive and a joke. Don't no one care what his complexion is. They are going to say whatever about him because he's a loser. Really? You're turning this into something racial? I agree that it is stupid because it's just below-the-belt name-calling, but to even defend him is worse.
Ok first of all, I would like to say that I'm not takin away from her inner beauty but wat type of outter representation is this? The picture is unflattering. But hey if this is helpin boost her esteem (which it seems she has too much of, for watever reason) then I'm all for it. Too many teens commit suicide becuz they feel unloved or unpretty. Bbm pin: 316F0E06
No one ever has anything to say about the totally random, average, and unattractive white people they put in this list every year. It's all *** to me. This country takes the most random washed out white women (ex:Kate Hudson, Jennifer Anniston, etc) and put them on a pedestal as the standard of beauty. we only speak out when one of our own is on there. Ok that makes perfect sense (sarcastic undertone of course).
co-sign my cherrymoon zoe claims her black side as much if not more than dominican and i never see her speaking spanish in movies or interviews and she hangs with mostly black folks and plays a black woman i swear everybody always trying to take credit from black folks dominicans ain"t nothing but black folks who speak spanish cause that"s where they fuggin slave ship landed mofos need history lessons even though alot of dominicans bee brainwashed to hate blacks!
@COBONNER or whatever the hell your name is you are horribly stupid. Zoe Saldana is BLACK! You fools need to learn the difference between race, nationality and ethnicity. She is black in every sense of it. @imsickoftvnradio- you seem to agree with me a lot lately lol. I know what you mean I'm a girl too but anyone for that matter male or female can be as hot as anything but if they are nasty personality wise I am immediately turned off from them. You know those types as soon as they open their mouth its a huge let down.
Why isn't she beautiful - because she is not up to MTO's big arse beauty contest, which is what you define beauty as being - having an arse - no matter what your face looks like. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder not a TABLOID Magazine dressed up in a bikini. We've been brainwashed to think what everybody else thinks is beautiful - IS BEAUTIFUL.
congrats to gabby even though i fuggin HATED that movie precious that *** was degrading and gave racist whites and mexicans fuel and something to talk about and that movie was over the top like a *** she got pregnant by her dad TWICE and mama just sat aound ain"t do sh#t but hate on her own daughter for "so called" "taking her man" who happened to be her father? get the flying fugg outta here with that *** and by the way i AM from the hood englewood south side chicago INFAMOUS ask bill clinton!
@MIKEHARRIS
how are you going to keep speaking you're opinion if you keep using/quoting what other people say?
"sh!t just got real!!" "but ey, what else is there really to say" "it be like that sometimes"
THAT'S WHAT DEONDEMAND SAY'S!!(get off his D!CK!)..you all on this otha ***!gga d!ck on MTO *** sh!t but you claim dat you like girl's =/...you do seem kinda ZESTIFUL though lol..and i dont blame you for being on deondemand's *** because he do look WAY BETTER THAN YO ***!!..you should ask him for his number since you're on his jock so much..but i HIGHLY DOUBT HE'S *** ;)
ITS JUST SAD HOW PPL TLK SO BADLY ABOUT THIS LADY..ALL BECAUSE SHE IS BIG..YES SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!..MTO I SWEAR YALL GIVE TOO MUCH CREDIT TO PPL WHO DNT DESERVE IT..GABBY DESERVES THIS..YALL SUCK BEYONCE,TRINA,AND GABRIELLE UNION *** SOOO MUCH..I LIKE THEM TOO BUT *** THEY ARE REALLY NOT THE BADDEST *** ON THE PLANET...I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE HALF OF THESE CELEBRITIES WITHOUT MAKEUP AND A WEAVE
Everyone saying Gabby is pretty and that's nice. We all get criticized or receive hateful comments at some points in our lives. People need to simply like themselves and stop fishing for approval. So what if people think Gabby is ugly, if she think she's ugly, that's how she's gone feel. This woman can like herself with or without the approval of others. And that's what she has done. People Magazine is irrelevant at this point.
that's a shame. Well what can i expect, this is a black site. The minute a black person gets to the top they tear her down and she didn't even do anything wrong! yall should be soluting a black woman for her accomplishments especially when they don't fit the white american standards of hollywood beauty. To me that's beauty and I live my life by that, you should all try it. SMDH..
@PlainJane:
I'm not saying Gabby isn't pretty. OF COURSE, I could care less about her size. The sister is talented and beautiful inside and out.
BUT there is a PATTERN of WHITE AMERICA glorifying and accepting certain types of physical beauty with the black community.
For example: Women who physically resemble the "MAMMY" stereotype (Gabby, Monique) or women who are extremely European in their hair, complexion, clothing (Beyonce, Zoe Saldana, Rihanna, Halle).
Look at Angela Basset, Nia Long, Gabrielle Union.. they can't get a role in HOLLYWOOD or some decent attention to save their lives...
@mikeharris you got vaseline on yo lips talkin about you don't date black women when CLEARLY you don't date WOMEN at all.
As for Gabby... I think she is a beautiful person. With a great personality. She's always happy. So for anyone to hate on her simply because she was recognized for being beautiful... It's definitely a reflection on your beauty.. or the lack there of!
highsupremeg “see, beloved, craKKaz are subtle.

---
@highsupremeg: MY POINT EXACTLY. Black folks STILL don’t see through white people’s subtleties. They’re playing us over and over again. We’ve gotta be a little more AWARE of WHO they choose to celebrate, and WHO they choose NOT too celebrate.
@misshugrad sometimes people have way too much time on there hands...I wonder if some poeple applied the time and effort they put into thinking white people or some how putting together list too keep you blind or down or give you a false sence of what beuty is unfortunantly some blk women are nasty inside and out and have no sense of who they are much less beuty, this girl seems too have a strong sense of who she is and despite of size is going for it. So what they like her just the way she is..
@Phillybruh:
First of all, what does a DISCUSSION have to do w/me having too much time on my hands, ESPECIALLY when you TOOK THE TIME to reply to my post??
Second, I'm thinking you're just TOO SHALLOW, SURFACE and UNCONSCIOUS to understand my point, so you SKIP right over to "false sense of beauty" which is NOT my issue.
For the LAST time, I'm NOT knocking Gabby's talent or beauty.
WAKE UP or re-read my earlier posts and reply w/something substantive re: HOLLYWEIRD, White America and CELEBRATED BLACK CELEBS.
*** there sure is a bunch of beautiful people on MTO 2day judging others. I could have sworn this was peoples 100 most beautiful list not u insignificant little mingions concept of beauty. i.e. Amber Rose, Rhiana, half of the lusted after and much envied video skanks we see on MTO on a regular and lastly all of the weave, silicone, fake nails, eyelashes and everything else that proves ur not pretty just faking it what do u know about looking good u bought ur looks wit cha fake ***!
This goes for MTO and everybody posting dumb azz comments! What makes yall any more better than her! I hate when b!tch azz ***@s try to tear someone down to make themselves feel better! You ain't perfect either! All you haters need to do gabby and the rest of the world a favor and just go ahead and committ suicide!
LMAO People make me so sick with all of these overweight black women. We dont even see fat white women on television and if they do they will not even front about calling her sexy. White men dont even play about that ish. They want to always throw up the most out of shape full black women in our faces. Y wasnt that big fat lady from whats eating Gilbert Grape nominated she was bigger than Gabby. They pretended like fat white women do not even exist but they always show big fat black women. There are 1000s of gorgeous fit black women they cant get any roles but if you got weight problems and are no real threat in the beauty dept you got roles. WTF backward ish is that in Hollywood. Attractive full black women are the most hated on chicks on Earth... Full lips ... Angelina Jolie, Corn rolls Bo Derek, Big *** Jennifer Lopez and now Kim Kardashian WTF is going on.. Why does everyone pretend like they dont even recognize this ***. Black people join them in the hype. Gabby is just proof of how lame Hollywood is white and black
LOL Who in the f**K Does gabby represent? Honestly... LOL Thats as obnoxious as having Halle Berry be the end all be all of black beauty. WTF I have yet to see a full black women get her props and have to here all this bullsh*T the media is trying to tell me about beauty. The really attractive black women used in videos should be more than on the videos they are some of the most beautiful women on the planet but dumb *** black dudes who put them on also put them down... Its another form of self hate on television. They will put a non black on a pedalstool that doesnt even look 1/2 as good.
@UKNOWUAINTRIGHT:
YES, JUST as bad as Hollywood shoving Halle Berry down our throats as the perfection of black beauty. It's the SAME SYNDROME.
And COUNTLESS black veteran actresses are PASSED right over.
Yet the second HOLLYWOOD accepts one, we run right along with it. A SHAME.
BLACK PEOPLE: PAUSE FOR A SEC AND THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS BEFORE YOU START DRINKING THAT KOOL-AID.
Since no one else is going to mention it I guess I'll just throw it out there. Zoe Saldana IS NOT BLACK MTO!!!!!! I'm tired of being represented by mixed people alone but now by people that are not EVEN BLACK WTF???!?!?!?!? I agree completely with you @ uknowthataintright...
The thing is I am not mad that Gabby is on the list but I don't appreciate that she is the only DARK skinned woman on the list. can we get a better assortment of black people pls?
Why is it MTO? That it took a White publication company like Peolpe Magizine to big up Gabourey and rep her as a Beautiful Black Woman ... MTO supposedly one of our "OWN" publications HAVE TO GO OUT THEY WAY TO TEAR *** DOWN .. Your writers sound like 5th greade girls in the cafeteria. Big ups to @highsupremeg & @lilmissmatched for Speaking up too.
@misshugrad
While I agree with what you are saying it is still unfair to state that People only chose her or any other Black women they've listed because of the "Mammy" factor or because they're fair skinned. Don't you all get tired of the "White Man's conspiracy"?? Meanwhile, you have a self proclaimed urban website that denegrates African American celebrities and everyday people on a daily basis. I, too, come here to voice my disdain for what MTO represents. My question to you is do you approve of MTO constantly belittling this young woman? You cannot blame People mag for this debauchary.
@misshugrad
MTO regularly makes fun of dark skinned women which leads to bloggers go over the hundreds year old argument of light vs. dark. You cannot blame the White media for that. MTO regularly hints to a lot of our male celebrities as closeted *** and the bloggers fall right in line with that as if a candid pic can determine your sexuality. The White media didn't do that either. But when the White media starts to recognize "our" talented men & women we want to put them in a box and claim they're shoving them down everyone's throats because they're being higlighted positively....
Ok i have a few things to say about this so mto let me tell yall a lil somethin bout yourselfs... First y cant she be iN 100 most beautiful? She is beautiful she has accomplished more in a year than mto has in a decade with yall fake @$$ stories. Second HER NAME IS NOT PRECIOUS!! Stop being disrespectful and call her by her real name. I want to be face to face with the mto bloggers one day...
From highsupreme: see,beloved, craKKaz are subtle. Like giving Hattie McDaniel and Butterfly McQueen awards for playing house ***,Denzel for a rogue cop but not Malcolm X,and Halle Berry for likking Monster's *** but she was a craKKhead in Jungle Fever and Gator couldn't even get no brain. Encouraged ***-Z 2 set himself up as a god,with grafted wife.They and the BlaKKwoman,as the only free people in the U.S.***. made TylerFairy a star-THE CASTRATED BLAKKMAN. Know your enemy...
I've been saying that for years.
You would never find such garbage in the likes of credible journalism found in Essence or Ebony, who all have written POSITIVE articles about Gabourey as well. People mag saw PAST the dark skinned, overweight factor and honored her for her talent and her ability to walk around with her head held high despite of the negative things society and some in both the White AND BLACK media have said about her. Her spirit makes her BEAUTIFUL. She is a human being at the end of the day and she loves what God has created in her. Nothing ugly about that at all. Some of you need to try that out!
mto is a waste. How are you going to knock people for putting her in the magazine? If she was a stripper or video girl you would praise that. I realize u guys waste your time and attention worshipping losers, no bodies that are useless to society. She has won awards nominated for an oscar despite all odds against her with a great spirit. I'm ashamed to be black sometimes b/c of ignorant blacks that preach about they love blacks and their the first to bash someone thats a role model for all girls. I'm starting my own site. Black sites hate black ppl more than whites.
WOW at everyone thinking this is progress??
You're all pleased just because the White Academy has acknowledged this movie and its cast.
If blacks are not recognized by whites, we're failures, right? smh
Your view of progress has nothing to do with progress.
It only has to do with being VALIDATED by NON-BLACKS, whites in particular.
Halle - award for being a *** Denzel - award for being a crooked cop NOT for X Monique - ????? Gabby - ?????????
Hmmm....
LMAOOO!!!!!!! So with all the choices they had, they gonna go and pick out the biggest, blackest fattest, nastiest looking joke of a Black woman on the planet as the most beautiful LOL!!! Man, these white people running these magazines be trying to dis black people on the slide. It's like Alek Wek. They take someone they KNOW is ugly and hold them up like "this is a beautiful black one" as a slick way to try to convince the masses that black folks are ugly because that is the best we got. I am calling this *** for what it is
Zoe is of dominican decent and never said anything about puerto rican. D.r. And haiti use to be one country that's why there are so many black ppl there. Dominicans light or dark have curly and thick hair. I hate when they say they are latina and not blk. Dummies. Ever heard of afro-cuban?cubans and brazilians mulatto or fudge know their history and aren't ashamed. My mom is jamaican indian decent from india dad black am i not black?
Agree totally 100% with Uknowuaintright & Miss Hu grad... LOL What the hell is wrong with black people. I like Halle Berry but she is not the end all be all of black beauty. Its unfortunate that blacks are so 1 dimensional. LOL @ People choosing based On a great personality. I could care less about people or their list Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, George Clooney Denzel Washington all topped the list but its also from personality right. BS.. The only time a black women is even considered beautiful is if she is biracial that is Hollywood. Gabby has a beautiful personality but its like a bad joke. She is an acceptable full black woman because she is undesirable and fat. We wonder why top male money makers marry based off of skin color we all know they hide behind saying its there preference but if your black and you only prefer something other than yourself what does that say about you. The full black women has been and will continue to be under attack in the media. It has been so deeply imbedded in black culture for men to choose wives based off of nothing else but racial stereotypes. Dark bad vs White being good. Wealthy Black men so desperate for acceptance will take another races bottom *** and wife them just because of their skin color to try to gain acceptance in American culture because a black womens complexion deems her as undesirable and undervalued.
misshugrad and realruckus(although i disagree with you description of the sister)..you two make a keen observation..the sophistication of this type of mind manipulation to distort and alter the perception of black female beauty..is being perpetrated at a level beyond most of these peoples understanding..so glad the man can't put no thang over on yous guys..
SLEDGE_boy You are right beauty is defined as a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea. But I think they are reffering to physical attributes, I could be wrong. But misshugrad & TheRealRuckus made valid points. Like my first comment said she has a pretty face everyone's opinion is different.
she need to lose weight for health resons but just cause she is big and dark doesnt mean she is not beautiful just because rihanna/beyonce is light and "thick" doesnt mean they are beautiful cause they are *** who degrade themselves on stage to get what they have All black is beautiful mto whether you're light dark,Thin or heavyset That is a part of beauty being your own person and having class unlike beyonce/rihanna gabby has a lot of class So mto sit yo azz down Go read a book or some sh!t stop being so *** one dimensional and stop judging based off exterior because gabby is beautiful
It's all about brainwashing. Clearly, Michelle Obama should be on that list. But,white people don't want us to think thats how a black women is suppose to carry herself. We have to be depicted as a *** object or some ignorant stereotype to be acknowledged. The classy, real, educated black women always gets pushed into the background. F Peoples magazine list. Who designated them the definition of beauty. Im not flattered by anyone they put on their list. Blind *** bats. Ignorance is bliss.
@Tennis:
Yes, Gabby has talent. Congrats.
The LARGER and more pressing issue is not her talent, it's how we as a people are continually selling ourselves out to what is considered acceptable to Whites.
BUT, You have to take a stand somewhere. I'm tired of people portraying Blacks only in certain lights. I visit other countries, and people actually think Black Americans are the stereotypes shown on TV.
And the Black youth also desperately needs a COMPLETE OVERHAUL of the images of blacks in the media. This is not something we can/should just brush off, bc we are feeling the effects of the LACK intellectually stimulating imagery in our media.
For all y'all saying y'all want her to lose weight because y'all are worried about her "health", ummmmmmm...are y'all healthy??? Are y'all eating right and exercising??? Probably NOT! And just because you're slender/average-size does not mean you're healthy. So just be real and stop all the "her health is at risk" b.s. Because most of y'all probably drink, smoke, have unprotected *** and eat at KFC everyday. Y'ALL HEALTH IS AT RISK!
WOW YOU PEOPLE ARE NEVER HAPPY. THE PEOPLE'S MAGAZINE LISTED A BIG GIRL AS BEING BEAUTIFUL AND U GUYS ARE UPSET ABOUT THAT. I DONT GET IT IM SURE THERE WAS MORE BLACK WOMEN POSTED ON THE LIST BUT OF COURSE MTO ONLY WANTED TO MAKE THE STORY ON GABOUREY FOR THE SHOCK FACTOR BUT IM SURE IF SHE DIDNT EVEN MAKE THE LIST ALL YOU PEOPLE WOULD BE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE REST OF THE WOMEN ON THERE AND HATING ON THEM ANYWAY
BEAUTY ISNT JUST THE OUTSIDE ITS ALSO THE INSIDE SOMEONE CAN BE VERY ATTRACTIVE OUTSIDE AND UGLY IN THE INSIDE IT SOUNDS CLICHE BUT ITS TRUE.
I ACTUALLY THINK THAT "MIKEHARRIS" & "STUPIDGIRLLOL" ARE TRYING TO START A BIG ARGUMENT AMOUNG BLACK PPL. THEY'RE ACTUALLY WHITE! PLEASE DON'T GIVE INTO THIS BS.
ANYWAY, I SEE ALOT OF PPL USING THE WORD BLACK OR TAR. SENSE WHEN DID BEING DARK CONSIDERED UNATTRACTIVE? I THINK THE PPL THAT THINK THIS WAY ARE THE ONES WITH THE PROBLEMS!
Maybe if she lost 200lbs she'd be attractive. I mean let's get real, who finds morbidly obese people "beautiful"?
Sure, she's probably a nice person, I bet those people who are bed-ridden are some of the nicest you'll ever meet... when their not asking you to cook them up 10 eggs, 20 slices of bacon and half a loaf of bread.
She's addicted to food and needs help.
This Is Just Sad !!! How Black Ppl Can Jawn On One Another !!! Some Of U Guys Feels As If This Girl Is Ugly Because... She Is Dark Skin, Fat & Just Not Cute At All !!! But The Thing Is...

I TOLD YOU EARLIER..YOU LOOK LIKE *** IN THE FACE AND YES THOSE LIPS ARE MADE FOR SUCKING SOMETHING (THEIR SAYING IT'S ***..BUT WHO KNOWS). NOW TELL ME COLLEGE BOY ARE YOU ONE OF THE (BLACK) STATISTICS THEY WROTE ABOUT IN THE ATLANTA JOURNAL CONSTITUTION..THAT RESIDES ON CAMPUS CAUSE TRYING TO FLOSS AND RIDE A BENZ WITH HALF A TANK IS DOING YOU IN. I BET YOU HAVE AN I-PHONE, A FEW PIECES OF GUAWDY JEWELRY, A FLAT SCREEN FROM WALMART, AND MAYBE SOME FAKE *** DIAMOND CHIPPED EARRINGS TO FLOSS WITH THE BENZ...BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY IRA'S, CD'S, STOCKS, BONDS....HELL I'LL GO EASY...DO YOU HAVE A MORTGAGE OR IS YOUR DUMB *** PAYING "RENT"...NEGROID PLEASE GO SIT YOUR LAME, IMMATURE, FLOSSING IN A BENZ WHILE THE CHANGE AND LINT IS JINGLING IN YOUR POCKET.....I SEE TRICKS RIDING IN A BENZ EVERYDAY...NAILS BIT DOWN TO THE WHITE MEAT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY GONNA GET GAS, RENT & LIGHTS PAID. AND JUST SINCE YOU ASKED SOMEONE TO TOP THAT. I HAVE A BMW...PEANUT BUTTER LEATHER INTERIOR..PAID IN FULL TRICK AND OWN A HOUSE AND A BOUTIQUE....NOW WHAT...YEAH SIT YOUR LAME *** DOWN....THIS NEGROID DELUSIONAL....
some of you people on here are straight *** true beauty doesnt mean being skinny and it doesnt mean being over weight either. its aboout the person you are inside. now shes a beautiful person but some of these women who think they are the *** arent your attitudes make you look ugly as hell... BTW the majority of you size 00- 10 think your so cute while your man might just be running up in someone who looks just like her... REAL TALK !!!!!
So the fugg what! It is their opinion and to that magazine that is all that matters. When people develop and create and produce their own magazines then they can list their top 100 beautiful, ugly, fugly people they want to list. I think it is cool they gave her the recognition and thought that she is beautiful. It is a shame that black folks have this idea in their heads that a black person is only beautiful if they are light, have a pretty face, skinnier than a toothpick.Ol Massa has succeeded in us really hating ourselves.
@MikeHarris...I'm tired of people calling dark-skinned people darkbutts.I'm sure none of them would date you anyway.Gabby is pretty and have talent,which is why she's Oscar-Nominated,and one of the few blacks to host'SNL show.Gabby has a beautiful spirit.Mike you're too ignorant to understand that!!!
You go Gabby!!! This girl is very intelligent,college educated,talented she is very well spoken and speaks highly of others.She knows that she's obese,She knows that she's black.She also knows that there are people that look better than her and also some that don't.She doesn't have a problem with that.For some reason we do,That's what makes her beautiful
gabby is beautiful, beauty is only skindeep, there are a lot of beautiful people on the outside who are nasty and disgusting on the inside. to all you gabby haters, just remeber she got a bigger bank account than you broke azz! and to mikeharris you need to stop with your "i don't date black women" ***, its because of *** like you black women find it so hard to get a man and another thing i assume your mother, grandmother and all women realted to your black azz are black why insult them, because you can't say all black women are ugly when you have black women in your family, check yourself *** because white *** will never be down, and ride or die like a black chick!

Look there are ugly skinny people and ugly fat people... She just isn't attractive regardless of her weight... I could name a ton of beautiful big girls but unfortunately precious isn't one of them. She does seem to have a great peraonality though which shines and makes people not focus on her looks.
