Is this thread to balance out the previous ill thought views about black women? I know Mick you’re probably fuming reading this and it’s not an attack on you. But as cynic, it got me thinking.

That said, colour and level of darkness is something amongst ethnic groups when describing beauty in people that have been controversial. I wonder if some of the women selected here favoured most are those of lighter skin than someone of darker skin? I myself might be sounding racist here but fear not. I find beauty in an individual face features, smile eyes nose etc. I’ve always thought there are better looking black girls than Naomi Campbell. I think Dina Asher Smith is attractive and is darker skin and many celebrity african americans are. There are loads.
But one of my fav would be our fellow brit, Gugu Mbatha-Raw.
I thought the other Darren ( Purse ) was dim as well, also Jonathan Greening. But as far as I recall they weren't black.
Intelligence has nothing to do with a person's colour unless you are telling me otherwise.
