I'm gonna guess Florida. Am I right?

Nevermind what they did in Flint MI. Closing factories at their income height to open them in Mexico to pay workers less. Greed is a bitch but Karma is an Amazon.

Yes I understand that. As I pointed out in another thread, that was not my case in the first place. It was my take that they were again casting a lighter skinned woman to play a darker skinned woman although they are both black. It was my phrasing and attempt at a sarcastic joke that created this discussion.

Write book for men, genius.

Ok first I don't like my own skintone:

That's gonna be sad because I'm so nerd for Sailor Moon. It will be a Dragon Balled sized shit show.

Yes. You asked. You're welcome.

Thank you for your erudite response. In hindsight I should have been more clear in my original post. I am biratial and should be more sensitive to how my post sounded. Truth be told I was being funny. Like wtf? REALLY? But you have gotten my point. It's not her actual genetic makeup its the blatant inability of…

Vanessa submitted to the human genome project and her results were aired on NBC's "Who Do You Think You Are?".

THANK YOU. Good advice. I'm getting too old for this!

Don't get crazy. What you are saying to me about my skin tone is highly offensive. You can be anyone talking to me about my feelings about my race in a pejorative manner. You can't see me so why even go there?

That's what I'm discussing, with genetic evidence. I get that we are all mixed. Is the cut off in Hollywood 41% African Decent to play a role of a woman that is 70% African? What is the cut off? When do we say, "Wait, we see what you are doing here!". Keeping in mind that these are the actors that are representing…

I'm biratial. I don't agree with the casting as others have posted as well. Casting lighter skinned black women to play darker black women is a obvious trend in Hollywood as others have noted. Good day.

I know that Aaliyah was native American and African American. Let's just settle this buy agreeing that the casting was shit. My point is that they are consistently casting lighter skinned actresses to play American Historical figures that are Black. It's unacceptable.

I had to pull over on my way home from work at 5am in Florida. I heard the news over the radio. My only consolation is that people years younger than I have her albums and know her music.

ZING!

I didn't know her family was not game. Thanks for sharing this.

Williams was born in Millwood, New York, the daughter of music teachers Helen L. (née Tinch) and Milton Augustine Williams, Jr.^{[7][8][9][10]} A DNA test revealed that her ancestry is 23% fromGhana, 17% from the British Isles, 15% from Cameroon/Congolese, 12% Finnish, 11% Southern European, 7% Togo, 6% Benin, 5% Senegal…

Here's an interesting query based on nywoman92's premise. How many African American teen singers are starring on the Disney channel on shows now? If every child star is being groomed by Disney, isn't the pool for black child actors kind of small in the first place since That's so Raven? Just curious because I'm an…

That's actually Deaftones Change in the House of Flies in the White Pony album. Not Korn. Just sayin.
