Black celebrities? is it me or are the biggest female black celebrities pretty light skinned. isn't this presenting a false image to young black females who don't have lighter skin? if your a black female how do you feel about stars like rihanna, beyonce and cassie? |
Are you saying Rhianna should use makeup to darken herself just to encourage darker-skinned people? This is a symptom of a societal problem and possibly the music industry, not the fault of the black stars that have made it.
I think people should be who they are, whatever that is. Eventually, society will catch up. |
Black celebrities? If a black celebrity has experienced racism, and blatantly so, why would they go on television and say that they have never experienced racism? ie (Trevor MacDonald.) (Andy ABraham) etc... Are they telling the truth, that the world has changed for the better, and they have never experienced racism? or is there another explanation? |
Intially there was a lot of racism towards black people but now I do not feel that there is that kind of hatred towards black people or black celebs for 3 reasons...
1) Unlike the muslims, black people have fought to be accepted as British and a part of British society
2) Many of our footballers are black
3) Black men seem to have a bit of a sexy image... which would explain why 70% of black men have or ARE dating a white partner! Plus, there's always those positive racial stereotypes e.g. having big d**ks & being good dancers!
There currently aren't many muslim celebrities and haven't been helped by images of terrorism and revenage killings... sorry guys! |
What is it about all these stereotypes among black celebrities? Many black celebrities that is half white were commonly considered as black instead of white.Celebs like Mariah Carey,Halle Berry,Alicia Keys and Eartha Kitt were all half whites yet they were still considered blacks.Why? |
Not just celebrities... Why are *any* African-Americans considered black? Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Kobe Bryant, Jesse Jackson, Jennifer Hudson, Queen Latifah etc look nothing like native Africans from Nigeria or Ghana...
They are considered black because going back 50-200 years, anyone with any black blood was treated as black.
Do you think if Alicia Keys and Halle Berry walked into a KKK meeting, they would be considered white? |
Black Celebrities...? How come there are no actual BLACK actress? ALL of them are MIXED all of them i mean alllll of them none of them look like your everyday black women no offence what the hell happned to lil kim? she went like 10 shades lighter in months! i can only think of jennifer Hudson..but is that the best black women they can come up with? iv seen better |
| is there a blacko-meter or something? are you/we THAT race obsessed? |
Why did it take for Obama to be a presidential candidate before "black" celebrities showed massive support? Isn't that kinda racist in itself? I've noticed that more black celebrities made songs about him, promoted him in television appearances and showed support in every way they could. So does this mean they are racist against whites? |
| They show no resentment against whites, did they? |
Why don't African American celebrities represent the average BLACK person? Like all the black celebrities I have seen have lighter skin, narrower nose, straight hair and thinner lips than the average black person.
Also, if you are not black, Don't answer this. Instead, Can you post pics of any of the 6 sexiest celebrities of your race/ethnicity? |
You ask this all the time.. but anyways..

Why do almost all ads with black celebrities have white or light skin women? These are ads where the celebrity has the power to choose who is on the ad with him. How do black men talk about racism when they are so themselves? |
| That is what the media wants to promote. |
Can you name at least 5 black celebrities who have thin lips that isn't half white? I keep hearing about how "Diverse" black people are. So give me a least of 5 black celebrities who have thin lips. If you can name more that would be better. |
Bruce Dickinson
Rob Halford
Dave Mustaine
James Hetfield

Why are there so many scandals involving black celebrities? Mick Vick (dog fighting), Chris Brown (beating up his g/f), Plaxico Burress (illegal weapon), Curtis Deloatch (assault), Lofa Tatupu (DUI), etc....I'm sure I can name many more, but you get the idea. What's with all the right black men still acting like criminals even though they're rich and famous. You don't see white celebrities involved in those kind of blue-collar criminal charges. |
Uh...what?
There are plenty of other white celebrities doing crazy things too.
Paris Hilton,Lindsay Lohan,and Britney Spears for like three years. Then you have the angry ones like Christian Slater,Russell Crowe,and recently,Christian Bale
You have scum like Charlie Sheen and Hugh Grant
I can't believe you wasted five points asking this question |
Why are black celebrities much lighter in person than they are on television? I happen to have seen/met many black celebrites and every time I see them I am shocked at how light they are. Some of them look medium skin tone on television, but in person they are all VERY light. Some of them barely look black at all. |
I met Nicole Richie and was suprised to see she has nappy black people's hair. In the media, it looks caucasian.
Why the thumbs down? It's true. She has light greenish eyes, a kind of snobby air about her, and coarse, relaxed hair..which I didn't expect judging by tv and magazines. |
