The first comment has little to do with defined black butts, but exactly what makes Sarah Palin a "sex pot!" The best that I can muster to her describe her physically is this side of "pixie cute."
I think the article was more tongue in cheek rather than the author truly deriving self esteem from the fact that someone with a bigg butt would now reside in the White House. But, then again, maybe the lady did need to have all parts of her "blackness embraced?"
I don't know about other black women but I have had my hair straightened for so long that I wouldn't recognize myself if I decided to sport the Afro that became popular in the 70's or the dread locks of today.
Is there a day in my future where all people will be accepted by society for just being themselves? I am black by race, but my style and self-identity has evolved because of exposure to a whole lot of other cultures. Simply because other people, black or white, believe that my hair should be kinky or that I should wear Dasheki's may not be the me that I am.
