Western media in general perpetuates the beauty standards of white people. It's not just television, it's everything. The sad thing is now we're doing their job for them, by constantly perpetuating white or light skinned women in videos.
How many popular dark black women actresses are there? Ones that are actually still making movies? Brehs I can't even imagine growing up as a young black girl in this country, having cacs AND black people shyt on you. Thank god for Michelle Obama, at least.
consider a country like India. i saw some females posting some messon facebook about how the creams that can lighten your skin or bleach your skin is a multi billion dollar business over there and how one actress finally starting 'dark is beautiful' campaigns. it's not just one race, it's a worldwide problem that the Western world has made acceptable with colonization and holding a certain image >>> another one
there's a billion other examples like this, but like poster above said its not an excuse. know you are at some degree being conditioned, but then it is up to you to try to see the beauty in everyone. the last line sounded hokey but yall know what im saying
