Hey my little love bird. I was in my 20's in the 80's and let me tell you, it didn't matter - from what I saw. Dark / Light I saw all shades doing their thing. and why are you soooo focused on color? That's kind of limiting and puts people in a box. Is that your intention, my little love bird?

Miss Tko I was born in 86 and I can tell you that the standard of beauty for black women has not changed. If you take a look at all the popular black female movie stars and singers you'll see it ain't that many. I wonder why.

Didnt Neo JUST make a comment about "light skinned babies being the cutest?"

I agree. I was a sub. teacher in a pred. black school district and in the fall at majority of the schools, the homecoming court was overwhelmingly brown-skinned to dark-skin but the queens who won were very light. Also, one of my students (dark-skin male) made a comment about light skin ppl. having cute kids. Some of this classmates checked him and said cute and ugly comes in all colors, shapes, and sizes. This was in 2007.

The standard hasn't changed, at least not for black woman. The males in hip hop may be dark skinned but the woman that promote and glorify most certainly are not.
