So I was in the barber shop last week and the topic of black women getting breast implants came up. The conversation was VERY interesting,so much so that I had to bring it to The Board Room. The reason the topic came up is because there was a woman who brought her son in the barbershop to get him a haircut. One of the guys said,"Dang girl,you gaining weight"....SMH.......(that's another blog for another day). But she said,"No,I just got some implants." That's when things went WAYYYYYY left. The woman got so upset that she took her son and went elsewhere. After she left,we had a HEATED discussion about breast implants.
One thing became VERY clear. "Some" black men don't like black women with breast implants. Some said those women suffer from low self esteem. Others said they are trying to be like white women.I'm not sure if I agree with either of those statements.I know a few women who have implants and none of them fall into that catagory. But I DEFINITELY see the point the men were making. Most of those men and I think most black men prefer a black woman whose body is all natural. I mean,what's wrong with working with what you got? Even though what you got might not be a lot. Just curious,hope I get some feedback on this one.
*Before some of you hit my inbox or send me text messages,please understand,I'm not knocking it. It's your body and you're free to do as you please. But why do you think some women get them? Do you think it's self esteem issues?
No, I dont think its a self esteem issue. Im a black woman who got a breast augmentation. I am also a mother who breast fed two babies and was no longer able to fill an A cup bra or find anything that fit properly in the chest. I did it to get my figure back.
