Seeing all the previews for the new ‘Dreamgirls’ picture I now realize what has been holding Black men and women back from having meaningful longterm relationships with one another for all of these years. Black women are still not white enough. The whole theme of the ‘Dreamgirls’ movie is about how black women can increase their desirability by wearing a lot of wigs and lightening their skin.
Black women have made advances in securing whiteness, but they still fall short on so many different areas. Yes, they are going to the Dominicans in droves to get the ‘Black’ out of their hair. That’s a plus. Yes, they are using bleaches and fade creams to remove the ugly mocha cappucino chocolate tones from their skin. They are also attending colleges and universities in an effort to remove the Mz.Peachez from their vernacular. Well, at least most of them are. Some are just as happy remaining young, Black and fabulous.
These are all positive traits for Black women as they walk the road to a better living through whiteness, but there are still some influential Black women who would have the next generation return to the dark ages (score one for the pun). Women like TIFFANY ‘New York’ PATTERSON from the hit television program ‘Flavor Of Love’ is too adamant in embracing partial whiteness.
It’s not enough to wear blonde wigs that are made from the hair of Chechen orphans. TIFFANY must fully embrace whiteness and have her skin bleached. African women do this ALL the time. It’s not that big of a deal. FLAV won’t admit it, but I will. New York lost both times because the other girls had lighter skin then her. Every Black man knows that’s just better. No big newsflash there.
Black women also need to kick KIMORA LEE SIMMONS out of their racial group. Let her play for the Cambodians, or the Vietnamese, or whoever. Her tacky clothing and boorish behavior is going to continue to ruin your chances at attaining the full whiteness you deserve. While your at it implore NAOMI CAMPBELL and her sister, the bald headed ski jumping African ALEK WEK to use some fade cream. When those two wear sunglasses and close their mouths they become invisible at night.
Be like OPRAH and change your wigs as often as possible, stay away from the overly curly styles as well and continue to work your way into whiteness. Maybe then some of us Black men might consider marrying you broads.
I hope your mama reads this and puts you back inside so you can start over again! But the shyt was still funny though

A fabulously superior light skinned woman
Funny you should mention FOL. After season 1, New York stated that she felt that Flav had a thing against brown-skin women.
Society isn’t ready for powerful, darker women unless that act mammy-like. Hence, Halle Berry (beautiful but she isn’t that great an actor) is more successful than Angela Bassett (beautiful and talented). Beyonce looks lighter every time I see her; Victoria’s Secret will only have Oluchi in the catalog for two photos. Is there a correlation between Lil’ Kim lightening her skin and her ‘success’ (plastic surgery not included)? Why did Oprah viewers feel the need to tell her that they didn’t like her curly, ‘kinky look’? Why did Oprah have to explain that she ‘needed’ to get a relaxer?
Well my black, bald-headed ass betta get started on the bleaching. I’m way behind. I’ll never get a man looking like this!
I wanna laugh but there’s a lot of truth embedded in the sarcasm…
I luh me some black doe..
Stay dark baby.
Contrary to popular belief I love me some dark Sistas but attractive is attractive no matter what the skin tone.
Why is it that White men always get the pretty Dark sistas with the natural hair.
beige baby movement… AYEEEE
I LOVE BLACK WOMEN I WILL NEVER SELL OUT EVER!!!!!!!!! WILL WOULD BEAT UP SO OF THE OTHER GIRLS IN OTHER RACES BUT I COULD NEVER MARRY ONE
All shades of black women are beautiful, and when the media stops telling us that we aren’t, then maybe we will see it for our selves.
