Soror
I am going to toss in my thoughts for whatever they are worth. About the light/dark complexion thing...i think it has been discussed enough...i believe that the only way we are going to stop it being an issue is if WE AS THE AFRICAN AMERICAN RACE stop making it an issue.
However, AKAtude I think that years ago BET stopped being what it was meant to be....a network that presents the "positive" images of African Americans that no other network would show. It stopped worrying about integrety and started worrying about the bottom line. I, like many of the sorors here, do not even watch it anymore. In fact, I was talking to another youth minister in my church about this same issue and he told me that BET is NOT EVEN OWNED OR RUN (i can't remember which)by African Americans anymore.
Cita is not what an African American woman is..and I am ashamed that BET would present her to the world as such.
much AKA luv
