Why is it that black women are constantly targeted for thier looks?

I have noticed alot of questions focusing on black women and how we arent in relationships, are having trouble getting married , etc etc. Now, I dont think we look any different now from 300 years ago so why is it that their is a constant need to berate our looks? every race and gender has its share of attractive and unattractive people, but it seems to be as if there is a subliminal attempt to ruin the self confidence of black woman, more so in Western Countries. Please feel free to comment

    A person who attacks another person for whatever reason is consciously or subconsciously threatened by them in some way or has their own psychological issues that cause them to be this way.

    It has nothing to do with being black, we are just an easy target as the puny little kid that gets bullied by almost everyone at school.

    I think it's cuz a few black women are gigantic and it's seen on t.v like big mommas house people get the stereotypical image of a gigantic black woman.

    Even though there are such cuties as beyonce.

    Damn that girl got a *** I could tap all day without stopping.

    I think most women in general are targeted for their looks. If you're part of a certain color and you complain about it, you'll think it's more targeted on your color.

    Me being half-Filipino, I could complain about how Asian guys have unfair stereotypes in American society... in turn giving them a lower success rate of finding the right girl.
