Why do black people have such big lips?
<|assistant|>
The African lip ritual has been around since colonial times. As a way to show their beauty, wealth and fertility, Black women throughout history have had larger, darker and plumper lips, which they would line with oils and herbs to make them even larger and more luscious. This lip enhancement has become known the world over as the 'lipless' or ‘natural lip’ aesthetic.  As lip injection popularity increased, so did rumors that Black people had bigger lips because of medical procedures, which in turn, led to countless articles about 'black lip jobs’ and untruths spread about Black people in media and culture. The myth continues today due to systemic racism and discrimination that targets darker skin and larger features. The 'black lip job' rumours stems from a deeply rooted racist stereotype that continues to have damaging consequences to both people and communities of color.
  
The truth of the matter is, the only 'jobs' Black people are getting are at making history and continuing to break the glass ceiling, rather than taking part in damaging cosmetic surgery rumors. Black people have and will always have full, plump and kissable lips no matter what procedure anyone tries to perform.
