There is such a myth in the AmeriKKKan community that a Black woman's color is equated to her beauty. I think that this issue is deeper than this because it all goes back to the notion that being of lighter skin or darn near white or white makes you superior. This stigma has been generated in the AmeriKKKan culture since the concept of house Ni**a versus field Ni**a (mentality). [/B]

I see your points, but initially you weren't referring to what the MEDIA portrays. You said LIGHTSKINNED black women think they are prettier than darker shaded black women. That's putting the emphasis on the women themselves and not on the portrayals by the media.
So, to that I disagree. Or, I disagree with such a generalization...I find it more appropriate to say that society has it so that some lighter black women think they are prettier than darker black women simply because of the shade of their skin.
