Kelly Rowland Believes Being Dark Skin Has Held Her Back

[Redeem87]

Ive said it before it's about a social hierarchy

White light then dark notice how light and white rhyme. We are at the bottom and need to disassociate ourselves from light skin people

Who's this?

She always had the short hair or the fukked up weave too. shyt made her mad unattractive to me. Even in elementary school.

Its true tho. Take it or leave it. You could take the best dark skin women in world and still have people try to down play their beauty or talents. Bet you cant even tell me the last really famous dark skin singer ,shyt hella sad too.

. She honestly has the most beautiful perfect skin ever

 

[It is a mystery]

Most people don't even know who Kelly Roland is
Most people know who Beyonce is
Most people know who Destiny's Child was

Kelly Roland doesn't have the machine behind her at all. Have any of you seen a Kelly Roland
advertisment ever? Or Kelly Roland on the radio recently/at all?

Katie Got Bandz gets talked about more than Kelly Roland even on here

It has look at how beyonce and nick minaj are bleaching their skin
I get annoyed how some people even use being dark as an insult. We as black people are beautiful, every shade and skin color. This pitting of different skin colors needs to stop because it only weakens and further divides us as a community. We see colorism even enforced through mainstream media with movies showcasing more light skinned women in positive role than dark skin women. Hell, we even got a light skin women who refuses to classify herself as black portraying Nina Simone in a movie. White supremacy has literally been worked into every aspect of our life but so many negroes are too indoctrinated to know it.

Yea the Nina Simone thing was flagrant asf.

+ her lack of talent.. have u seen her act

Because you need talent in this day and age to be big

 

[Dwolf]

No Beyonce and her daddy held her back

Damn

 

[aXiom]

nikkas about to run up in here and overhype her like they do in every thread.

Though there's some truth to it, but let's be honest.. she'd never be able to fill Beyonce's shoes. The charisma, talent, sex appeal, looks...

nikkas wanna act like the prince came to the crib rockin a footlocker jersery with a chariot full of glass slippers in different sizes

Missy was just as dark, and FATTER, and made it all right. Kelly blaming her mediocrity on her skin color is foul

 

[Doobie Doo]

I am having this same argument on FB right now over this article and I am holding the same stance. Then to add fuel to the fire I mentioned BRANDY who is only two years older, came out 2 or 3 years before DC and has had a gang of hits and success on TV, movies etc. Same complexion

Another reason we HAVE to stop accepting mulattos as black. You have young dark/brown skinned girls looking up to these mulatto women who represent them as black in the media. How damaging it

must be to compare yourself and your features to someone who looks nothing like you even though they are viewed as black. shyt is sad, and detrimental.
