Not A Good Look

12:00 PM |

Black smokers lips...

I gotta tell you.  When you have managed to smoke you way to lips that are as black as the tread on your tires, you might have a problem.  I mean, what more can I say? This is not sexy boo!



For me, lips are the first thing I look at on a man. And while we all know that black men's lips come in all shades, shapes and sizes, we know when lips are black because of melanin and when they are black because of a 3 pack a day habit. And when I identify your lips as smoker lips, it only makes me wonder...
Bet he tastes like an ash tray...or blacks...or the 'cherry' flavored ones....
*Pause*....waits for that phlegm filled cough/throat clearing....
Can I smell the smoke....*sniff*sniff* yea I can smell the smoke...
Menthols?!?  Really....
Did he just say he doesn't smoke...just a black every now and then (negro you smoke)....
Them lips are saying more now than then...
What your teeth look like?
This kid's gonna die....

And thus I have managed to miss any game you might be trying to spit at me at that moment. Heard not an ounce of what you said.  Nothing.

I'm sorry sweetie, not going to even get preachy about the danger of the habit, it's just all around not a good look.

ok, you're an idiot. One this guy is not African American "Black", but Indian "Black". Two the picture you're using is not that of a smoker, but an individual that is questioning the health of his lips (http://en.allexperts.com/q/Food-Allergies-3596/2011/1/lower-lip-becomes-reddish.htm). Get your shit straight.

A) I'm using the photo as an illustration of the general look not to say specifically this man right here has smoker lips. A practice that is frequently done by many bloggers across the globe. It was one of the few photos that did not include a full face and thereby left the individual anonymous.

B) This is what comes up in the google search, this is what I used. Apparently there are some issues with the image tags assigned to this photo that made it come up in my search. In case you are unaware, you can embed data into your images and your website that allow them to appear properly in a general internet search. This allows for search engine optimization, promote rankings and improve or increase site traffic. If they were tagged properly then when I searched black smoker lips, I would not have gotten it. As a matter of fact, it is the first photo that appears when you search for that phrase. Perhaps that should be looked at.

C) If you or anyone you know of is suffering from allergies or has issues with the health of their lips then I offer apologies if the image has offended you. That was not my intention.

D) Thank you for posting the originating link. A link that clearly is still attached to the image I borrowed ( thus my reasons for linking to the image directly on that site). I was fully aware of the origins of this image when I used it. But thank you for sharing.

E) There is absolutely no reason to call me an idiot. You could have very easily corrected my use of the photo with out the name calling and cursing. That is rude and uncalled for.

And finally...if you feel so strongly about what I've posted then by all means feel free to attach your name to your rude comments. Don't hide behind Anonymous.

Now you get your shit straight.
