    You are a hypocrite ? and I HATE hypocrites.You are no better than the people you attack.Dark sin and afrocentricity does not define black people and is NOT the standard for beauty.You talk down on whites and lights and then complain about the degradation of dark skin.You are NOT even dark skinned ? and you seem to suffer from an identity crisis of what it means to be black.Black is what you make it.Who are you to say that a blonde weave is not attractive or is not a standard of beauty? You nappy headed baboon face looking self.

    now was that necessary? show sum respect ? ...its her opinion(A Good One) so slow ya role

    I wish black people would create there own standard of beauty I want the africans and jamiacans to stop bleaching there skin, I want black women to let that perm go, to stop eating fast food and exercise a little. I want black men to appreciate dark skin and stop following white men, in everything just for once, stop wearing those skinny tight jeans trade them in for daishiki's,trade the skateboard in for african drums. trade that white is right mentality for black is beautiful. I want im a black and i am proud. I am tired of the blonde keri. the keri hilsons the beyonces the nicki minajs, wiz kalifa and chris brown. when has a white person ever put perm in there hair to get an afro??

    I wish i was born in the 70s. :(
    If you WERE born in the 70's, you woulda seen a LOTTA White folks with afros. Even today you still see some.

    Hollywood has been ? on the black image since it's beginning. And I wouldn't be so fast to be thanking TP. Ain't no telling how fast that script would change once the money stopped rolling in.

    That's suck and many black actress are bad acting.

    White actress>>>>>black actress.

    I noticed Black Actress always play the same roles, the same acting, basically they played themselves.
