Where does she actually say what you have in the title?

It's not even an interview with her just rambling musings about her and some stuff she said as a teenager

Whitney Houston
Laruyn Hill

:camby:

This chick isn't as successful as beyonce cause she's not as good of a singer or live performer as bey. She also doesn't have the star power
Lauryn Hill was a multi-plantinum rapper in the 90s, who was already a famous member of a group.
Whitney Houston was mid-tone at best, and was again, not part of the generation where sex appeal can make or break an artist

What people?

Sooner you stop looking for acceptance for whites, stop wanting to part take in their industries, and stop inviting them into your lives this won't be a problem

The problem is Kelly Rowland, she doesn't like her dark skin, article even said beyonce's mom who looks like a mummy, tried to explain to her how beautiful her skin is

The problem isn't white people, the problem is self hate

you got Tariq Nasheed calling another black man crispy, and he suppose to be against white supremacy

White people are never going to promote another's race image over their own, why would they do that, why would you even expect them too
lastly why do you care what they think

The problem is many black people feel inferior because they learn this inferiority from other black people

Also when young black girls are bombarded with images of white women in shampoo commercials it damages their psyche
so without a support system or any type of community who her image can be celebrated, she will fall pray to these same insecurities

this is why integration was the worst thing that happened to black people in this country post slavery

as far as her career, being in beyonce's shadow is what hurt her career, and it's a shame she feels its her skin
:whew:

Whitney Houston darkskin now :martin:
Yes, she was.. :what:


That said, dark skin isn't necessarily a hindrance, but light skin is certainly advantageous when it comes to attaining a certain level of success (particularly for black women) in the entertainment industry. There's a reason Halle Berry was seen as the epitome of black beauty in the 90s.

If this isn't a dark-skinned female then you're either from Senegal, South Sudan or are a female of the same complexion who doesn't want to be categorized as being dark-skinned.

Kelly Rowland's music isn't crossing over onto the pop charts. She's doing well in the R&B lane though, isn't she?

I know that dark skinned women have it rough, but not every artist is successful when they go solo. Look at 'Nsync. Does anyone remember what the non Justin Timberlake members of the group look like?
