You all are not mad about people's race or ethnic make up though. You are mad about their skin tone. Just say ya don't like light skinned black people (because you can very well be mixed and dark skinned or light skinned and not mixed) and K.I.M. And yeah, I know it's skin tone and not genetics cause Halle Berry has had an epically successful career and rapport with black people throughout such and she's biracial (but she doesn't look it)
Why are y'all so scared to admit that and coming up with all of the illogical fallacies to justify it? Got nikkas in here sayin' that Lisa Bonet, Evan Ross, and Boris Kodjoe are taking away roles for blacks when Denzel, Gabrielle, etc. and way more darker skinned blacks are casted before lighter skinned blacks.
If someone wants to show "black" in a movie, y'all actin' like the likes of Nia Long and Gabrielle are just getting over looked. Shiet, even in a movie like The Best Man 2, the light skin chick was only like a side character who was part Hispanic, and the lightskinned man (Terrence Howard) occupied the same capacity as well while all the darker characters were playing main roles. Did you all catch light skinned people catching hissy fits about damn movies about fictional characters though?
When it comes to movies, dark skinned blacks STAY winnin', even the little roles that are passed down when it comes to movies about black people. Sans the Nina Simone thing, there's no true CURRENT example of light skinned people taking roles that are CLEARLY for dark skinned people like in biopics.
I'm quite sure winter in the D had Aaliyah looking extra pale and I'm pretty sure she didn't have Whoopie Goldberg type texture hair. Visually (cause I don't know her blood test result like Poitier), if y'all wanna really discuss it, Aaliyah looks MIXED herself.
She's wayyyyyyyyyyyyy lighter than Halle Berry who has been mentioned as "not being black" by the reverse brown paper bag crew. So IDK why y'all even arguin' when she's not black by your standards anyway.
@ "half black is just enough"
