You forgot to add Monalisa Chinda. She used to have a brown skin but she decided to bleach to the very top. She looks like an albino now. Tonto Dike was never so dark but she has bleached now. Ebube Nwagbo. Even Jordin Spark should be there.

i watched a documentary about african americans and how they practise racism even among fellow blacks,it was an eye opener for me.
i noticed that blacks with light skin are offered more roles in movies,tv adverts even video vixens.before a very dark artist will be signed by a major record label then the artist must have a hell of a talent.
what do people have against being dark that even in africa almost every young lady love to brighten their skin and the male folks has followed suit
@ op the pix you uploaded were they taken with sagem phones

in America, blacks dominates the music industry. Many of them even lead the Grammy i.e Jay Z, Kanye West, Beyonce, Nas, Ne-Yo, etc. It's in movies that the intimidation sets in. Halle Berry is not a great actress neither is she a box office draw but she've had so many lead roles because she's light skinned and can beat most of the white ladies in terms of beauty. Her beauty and skin colour has got her many magazine covers and adverts. Ever wondered why the Oscar favoured her over far better black actresses like Angela Basett and Viola Davis? Its because of the racial love they have for her. If you're dark skinned, you won't make wave in hollywood. Denzel Washington was just lucky. As for the pics up there, I think they were taken with Nokia C1.

I'd differ on this one a little, and say the same standards are not used when judging black men and black women.
While dark-skin black women are the ones who face the most discrimination in favour of their lighter-tone counterparts, I can't say lightskin black men are favoured above the darkskin ones.

Many years before Denzel Washington, there was Sidney Poitier (the first black 'Best Actor' oscar winner), even Louis Gossett Jnr (the very first oscar winner) and the ever-lovable Morgan Freeman - and all these actors are darker than Denzel. But during the time these aforementioned actors were making waves, their female counterparts were the likes of Lena Horne and Dorothy Dandridge - all lightskin/mixed women.
The infamous, internally-racist "brown envelope test" was used mainly against black women hoping for a shot at showbiz.

Even going through the list of male black Oscar winners and nominees over the years - from Morgan Freeman, to Sidney Poitier, to Louis Gossett Jnr., to Denzel Washington, to Don Cheadle, to Will Smith, to Cuba Gooding Jnr., to Djimon Hounsou, to Forest Whitaker, to Jamie Foxx, to this year's likely winner Chiwetel Ejiofor - the only notable lightskin dude I can remember there is Cuba Gooding Jnr.

So, implying Denzel Washington was just one 'lucky' anomaly, couldn't be further from the truth.

I can't really remember cases where lightskin black men were favoured above their darkskin counterparts when it came to showbiz.
