Dark Skin /Light Skin and VH1 Single Lades

The new cast of VH1 Single Ladies have sparked some conversation lately. Many people wish Stacey Dash character was replaced by a darker skin woman. People say that a light skin blue eyes new cast member is typical when people think of what's beautiful. I looked at many blog comments, and I came to my own opinion on this issue. I don’t see anything wrong with people saying they want a brown skin girl/dark skin girl because black people have all different shades and people identify with people that looks like them. For people to get upset with people wanting to see a dark/brown skin girl need to get educated and read a book.

 Everyone relates to people that look like them or their is some commonality between them. It’s the same thing people do in marketing. Society does create a divide and enforce slave mentality in individuals. America has brainwashed folks and mainstream find people that don’t look similar to mainstream as unappealing. This is why it is important to constantly show the beauty of all shades of black women in society to break up the mindsets of individuals from thinking one skin tone is more attractive than another..

I understand it is annoying that we have to have this light skin/ dark skin debate all the time, but partially black people are to blame for this color divide as well. Black people are still creating this separation even after slavery has passed and civil rights activist have protested. Black people can help change this image of what beauty is if they understand what beauty is themselves.

I have had my grandma preach on my hair texture being more beautiful because it's softer and not coarse. Is this really right? I have had my mom get annoyed with seeing light skin women get praised more in the media and call all them ugly..is this really right? Black people are not only far behinf in education and economics, but we are behind still living as slaves mentally. It's time to make a change. Obama is in office. There should be no excuses with alot of the things we do.

All black is beautiful.
