I have heard guys say light skinned women are the most beautiful and attractive. I have also heard some dark skinned ladies say they prefer their brother or uncle to get married to a light skinned girl all because they feel it will illuminate them since they are all dark. Well for me everyone and their preference, it doesn't make them right or wrong. But this article we are about to read by Reno Omokri will make you appreciate your dark skin even more. I am black and beautiful and am so proud to be black. Nothing can make me change my colour...
I
encourage every black woman to reassess her definition of beauty. The modern
media feed black women’s insecurities by promoting beauty standards which make
them want to alter their natural hair, skin color and other physical
attributes. Do not fall for that.
Wise
King Solomon had 1000 beauties in his harem. There were women from all over the
Mediterranean there. But the only erotic love song written in The Bible and by
King Solomon was written in praise of the beauty of a black woman he had fallen
in love with.
In
Songs of Solomon 1:5, Solomon writing in the first person said “I am black, but
comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of
Solomon”.
Today,
when you use the word ‘fair’ it denotes something of a pale or light
complexion. But that has not always been the case. King Solomon wrote thus of
his black love “thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’
eyes”.
The
original meaning of ‘fair’ was something beautiful or attractive.
Black
is beautiful. Do not take it from me. Take it from the wisest mortal man that
ever lived besides Yeshu’a (Jesus).
From
the top of her head to the tip of her toe, the black woman is beautiful beyond
measure.
Where
Helen of Troy moved Prince Paris’ heart, it took a black woman to move King
Solomon’s heart. What does that mean? It means black women are for for Kings
and should be in palaces.
And
those who think that King Solomon’s attraction to a black woman was a fluke may
want to consider his relationship with the Queen of Sheba whose visit to him
was recorded in 1 Kings Chapter 10.
Though
it is not specifically stated in The Bible, the people of modern day Ethiopia
believe that when 1 Kings 10:13 says “King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all
she desired and asked for, besides what he had given her out of his royal
bounty. Then she left and returned with her retinue to her own country”, this
included a conception of a royal child between King Solomon and Sheba.
In
fact, the last proper King of Ethiopia, Emperor Haile Selassie I, was
acknowledged to be of the Solomonic dynasty.
Haile
Selassie’s official title as Emperor of Ethiopia was “The Conquering Lion of
the Tribe of Judah, His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, King of Kings of
Ethiopia, Elect of God”.
Up
to that point, every emperor of Ethiopia had to be able to trace their lineage
to Menelik I, who according to Ethiopian tradition was the child of King
Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
Whether
or not this apocrypha legend common in Ethiopia and the Middle East is true,
the fact remains that the only such visit which the Bible chooses to record for
Solomon is the visit of a Black African Queen from Ethiopia.
From
the foregoing, it is clear that not only does the Bible record Black women as
beautiful and attractive, it is also obvious that the Bible records them as
being important.
Black
women must hold that truthful image of themselves in their mind’s eye and not
let it slip from their consciousness.
In
doing so, black women will be able to resist and overturn the subliminal
messages from the media which makes them feel that they have to remake
themselves into the image of beauty served up to them on a regularly basis in
order to be truly beautiful.
And
it is not just King Solomon that appreciated the beauty of the black woman.
The
greatest Law Giver this world has ever known was enamored by a black woman.
In
Hebrew he is known as Moshe, in Arabic he is known as Musa and in English he is
called Moses.
What
many people do not know is that Moses’
wife was black. Yes!
Moses
was a Prince of Egypt. He had taste. He had class. He would not just go for any
woman. He went for the best! This is not something to psyche black women up.
This is fact.
Numbers
12:1 reads “Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman
whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman”.
When
the Old Testament of the King James Version uses the term Ethiopia or
Ethiopian, it is actually talking about Black Africa.
When
the Old Testament of the King James Version wants to refer to the nation known
today as Ethiopia, it uses the term ‘Sheba’.
In
fact, other translations, such as the NIV and the NLT use the word Cush or
Cushite in place of Ethiopia or Ethiopian. For those who do not know, Cush is
the original name for Black Africa.
In
fact, the word Cush means black in Hebrew.
The
New International Version (NIV) renders Numbers 12:1 thus “Miriam and Aaron
began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a
Cushite”.
And
so that you would understand that the term Ethiopian in the Old Testament means
a black person the prophet Jeremiah wrote in Jeremiah 13:23 thus “can the
Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?”
The
point of bringing out this information from the Old Testament is because both
Christianity and Islam hold the Old Testament as a sacred Scripture from God.
Most
of the world’s black women are either Christians or Muslims.
So,
if a book which most of our women hold as sacred tells them they are beautiful,
who is that person or media that will tell them otherwise?
The
Bible says you are beautiful. You can take that to bank. In fact you can take
that to heaven!
