I spent 4 years in Atlanta, GA. You cannot tell me that that is all you see when you roll through the hood down there. If so, I suggest you roll through a different hood .

When I talk to black people: I get the sense that people with light skin are "less acceptable."(many comments I have read on BLSD, for example,ethnic ambiguity is boring).Hahahaha don't twist my comment to fit your point. Boring =/= "less acceptable." Find another example.

Quote from: MDlaw on April 26, 2006, 12:25:36 PM Money can work wonders just look at Oprah!Isn't that what I was saying? I'm saying the difference between Beyonce and your HS Prom Queen (if she was Black, as mine was ) is simply economics. The AVERAGE chica - I really think that depends on what you think is the average. Anyone can look BETTER with money but Oprah is not giving Halle Berry any competition.
Money can work wonders just look at Oprah!

The best example in the history of mankind of money turning looks around: Chris Rock.Oprah is the runner-up.
