...Conversely, sistas, when have you ever seen a light-skinned black male hustler, drug-dealer, convict, thug, or otherwise negative character. It aint gonna happen.
You had me thinking there for a moment. Here goes: Allen Payne & Christopher Williams(New Jack City) & LL Cool J (In Too Deep - even though LL is not that light), & Ice-T (New York Undercover).
I also see many dark skinned brothas playing positive roles: Westly Snipes, Morris Chestnut, Omar Epps, Taye Diggs
and Brown to Dark-skinned sistas: Nia Long, Tyra Banks, ***whatever the chic's name is that played in Blade***, Angela Bassett.
