I stand by what i said. The majority of black women promoted in hollywood are not lightskinned

And much much more. I agree hip hop is lightskin washed but not hollywood. Halle berry is not even light skin

And nicole ari parker is not biracial

well I stand with my opinion but I am not denying that there are a prevalence of brown skinned african american women/actresses in hollywood

well some sites call Nicole Ari Parker biracial: http://ethnicelebs.com/nicole-ari-parker

All shes saying is that her mother was lightskin. Shes just a lightskin black women. Not biracial

And you said the majority were light skinned. Which they are not

k.o.n.y:

All shes saying is that her mother was lightskin. Shes just a lightskin black women. Not biracial

I am assuming you are a light skinned guy yourself which explains why you consider those women you posted (and halle berry) to be dark skinned. maybe they are dark compared to you.

yes the majority are light skinned but I'm not denying that there is a prevalence of brown skinned african american women in hollywood

"I am assuming you are a light skinned guy yourself which explains why you consider those women you posted (and halle berry) to be dark skinned. maybe they are dark compared to you."

thank you

Those women have an average complexion amongst blacks. They are in no way light skin

we know those women you listed are brown skinned black, I mean who would think Angela Bassett is light skinned(I don't) but we are not talking about them though

they are lighter than average imo.
but for hollywood standard, they are dark skinned.

My hair is growing, but soooo hard to comb




Hopes it looks like this ( the chic in Afro, green dress) in 2 yrs or so

@Jenifa
Yup, To hollywood all those females are dark skinned

@Ileki Idi
yeah that's the disadvantage when it comes to our hair, also the lady in the green is Erykah Badu

WTH are you talking about? Those women and women around their complexion dominate hollywood not lightskin women. And no they are not lighter than the average black women on the street

"Those women and women around their complexion dominate hollywood not lightskin women. And no they are not lighter than the average black women on the street"

not in my eyes, I disagree & lets just leave it as that because angela basett(barely in many movies like when she was younger), jada pinkett smith(hasn't been in a movie for years; she is only mentioned cause her husband is will smith now a days), kerry washington, Sana Lathan(haven't seen her for a while) are barely in movies and when they are they are in a movie it's a Black hollywood movies. To hollywood they are dark skinned women, I keep hearing about Halle berry(after her best actress oscar win) & Zoe Saldana(after avatar, guess who & Star trek) from hollywood not these women you listed but I never call those women you listed light skinned. You brought those women up & I never said they are darker or lighter then the average black women in the street at least for angela basett and Kerry Washington but Jada pinkett smith & Sana Lathan to a extent it is debatable because I have heard some african americans call jada light skinned when I don't think she is.

PLEASE STOP DERAILING THIS THREAD

Ebony, what conditional brand do you use? i'm using Mizani shampoo and conditional. i stop Panthene for black hair.
what do you think about Mizani?

i'm growing my real hair too. i have micro braid right now.

OP, do you object to micro braids and long twist? i guess it is fake too

. . .erm when I first stumbled across this thread I was intrigued mainly because I assumed it was going to be about black woman's hair in the original texture - that's how I interpreted "natural hair" to mean . . . well anyway anonymous6 nice thread keep it up.

No, I see nothing wrong with micro braids or long twist; africans have been doing that for ages since the Nok & Egyptians Empires. So I don't have issues with braids or twist: http://csdt.rpi.edu/african/cornrow_curves/culture/african.origins.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornrows

Plus when I was in the mid years of middle school to early years of high school I used to style my hair in micro braids

Twist

Love braids. I think they even make women look younger.

@Lax75
I agree braids are beautiful
