7/1/09, 10:02:am

I am glad she was able to embrace her beauty because she is very lovely…but let’s be honest the music industry now is very shallow and if Kelly where a few shades lighter she would probably be more sucessful…it’s sad but true.



Allison Mae

7/1/09, 10:02:am

by the way, i don’t think kelly is beautiful, i think she’s beyond it!!!



oooo

7/1/09, 10:07:am

white women want to be darker
black women want to be lighter
kelly
you are an ancient queen as well as all the other women that are the same shade darker or lighter
you are beautiful
all women get off what ***** looks like
stop putting your money into looking like someone else.
THEY REALLY DONT CARE ABOUT ANY OF US
leave mike out of this he was a child and grew up in an industry that portrayed images of only white people.

To my surprise, I found she posted a profile on a famous millionaire & celebrity dating club__RichFlirts.com__. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site.

Kelly is gorgeous.

It’s a shame she has a “weak mind”, she did not get that from Beyonce. Getting a t!t job and not being satisfied with your body, is a mental issue.

Kelly felt like most chocolate girls have felt at one time or another. She was being honest and you have to appreciate that most people are insecure and never get confidence.

7/1/09, 10:13:am

Took no time for Bossip to go back to calling MJ a “freekshow.” Well, we all as dark skin ppl (females in particular) have felt that way (for the most part). I know I have.



Nique

7/1/09, 10:16:am

The nerve of Bossip still talkin ***** about MJ!!!! You all are the first to bash the hell out of him and then the first to “pay tribute” to him. Bossip can eat a *****!!

In reference to Kelly, you could always tell she was uncomfortable in her own skin.I dont know why ppl think because you are light means you are garunteed to look good-I mean look at Tiny!!!! WOOF!

The worse part is when a guy come up to you and says “you are gorgeous” to be darkskin.” Like what does that mean? That hurt. Yeah, I’m a fly ***** darkskin sista, but what would possess a man to step to a beautiful nubian queen like that? SMH



NIK

7/1/09, 10:17:am

I don’t understand why people have a twisted belief that darker skin is less attractive? We have women bleaching thier skin to feel more beautiful?? I’m a light skinned women but I’ve seen stunning chocolate women! The darker the berry the sweeter the juice right?

_________________________________________________
Exactly. What does that mean?? It’s like when people say “if you were thinner you would be so beautiful” Like WTF? People used to say that to my sister all the time and I always had to tell her that she was just perfect the way she was. She was the nicest person you will ever meet and for a really long time she hated herself because people would say that her. It’s aweful what we do to our women (especially of color) and it’s even worse what we are doing to the young women who are being subjected to this ignorance!

7/1/09, 10:22:am

She is such a beautiful girl. It is sad but true that so much emphasis is put on the complexion of women in our community. Why can’t we celebrate our complexion range from cocoa to cream. It really is a beautiful thing.

“Glad she didn’t go the Michael Jackson route and end up looking like a freakshow.”

Y’ALL KNOW Y’ALL GOING TO HELL WITH GASOLINE DRAWERS AND A MATCH FOR THAT ONE.

I can identitify with what Kelly went through. I am brown, and my friends in High School were light skinned. The boys didn’t come on to me, they came on to my friends. The compliments I received were “You have nice teeth.” I’m not a horse damn it!

But as I got older, I realized, I love me. I am beautiful, on the inside and out, smart, creative, and have a wealth of qualities to share with the world!

Society told us, black was whack and light was right. WE STILL DO IT TO OTHERS AND OURSELVES! Just because you don’t see it in your circle, doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

I got no love in high school either. I got the same thing…pretty smile, pretty eyes, but that was it. I had lite friends as well and they got all the love. But, as I grew up I saw what was really what.

@ @ Almost famous
********************
I was tall, had a fly shape (still do) all that, but I got no love…not even from my family. I have both really lite ppl in my family and very dark ppl in my family. The lite ones were treated like Gods and the dark ones were treated like pee-on.

Point – I have a cousin…I was taller than her, prettier than her, had a better shape than her (and still do)….she was and is shaped like a 2 liter pepsi, yet my aunt that can’t have kids picked her to be in a mother and daughter fashion show. My aunt is really lite, was never able to have kids…she told me that ppl would not believe that I was her daughter it was better if she went with my cousin even though my cousin was a troll. (Those are the ppl I keep my son away from) They totally ruined my self-esteem while I was growing up. Now, I make more money than then, drive a flier car, and have a bigger home…now they want to jump on the bandwagon.

________________________________________________
I know exactly what you mean. I am of mixed race so I’m on the “lighter” side. I grew up in a predominately white community and never got “that” guy that the little white girls got. I never got “that” hair etc… Until I moved to the city where everyone was like me, or ever darker than me. I turned into one of “those” girls where MY skin was like everyone else and so was my hair. I quickly realized that “darker” women go through the same thing I was going through. MY people, where I felt more comfortable in my own skin was doing the same thing that the white people I grew up with did to me? It’s not fair. It’s everywhere, and it’s disgusting. I’m so afraid of what my daughter is going to see when she looks at herself in the mirror. She’s only 5, but God help me.

Bossip, that last crack on Mike wasn’t even necessary. Come on now.

Anywho, there are so many black girls who have felt and still feel the way Kelly felt. We live in a Eurocentric society that pushing this “white is the only right” bull***** down our throats. All nations have been brainwashed. All we have to do is look at the videos today by some of these black artists that can only find light skinned women to be featured in their videos. Thank God Kelly didn’t stay with that mindset and she can walk proudly with her head up. She’s a beautiful young lady.

That’s the truth…you never see any dark chicks in video 99.9% of them are lite (yes, i do know how to spell light…in case anyone wants to try to clown me). I remember….I think it was Jay-Z or Busta or one of them cats had a video with only dark chicks dancing everyone was clowing them about they must have been family members cuz they were hella ugly. Never really hear that about that lite chicks no matter how bad they look.

The light and dark skin thing really comes into play when you are from an island where everyone is black…but the light are more priviledged than the darks. That’s the world I’m fom.

My sister had insecutities about being the darkest one growing up~ but she hurried and got rid if them after she saw all the white folks running to tan , tgen she realized how beautiful her chocolate skin is and how she wont age rapidly and how she wont get wrinkles and crows feet and red blotches~ now she is a licesened dermaltologist and she has the most beautiful medium chocolate skin under the sun. She said after she found out the advantages of having darker pigment she praises it now.

7/1/09, 11:09:am

I think I am the only brown chick that actually wanted to be darker. I think that dark women are beautiful! Growing up, I had a lot of beautiful dark women in my family and I always wanted to be in their shoes. I would even put tanning lotion on to get my skin darker. Despite me being brown myself.

7/1/09, 11:13:am

Being a darker complexion woman myself, I agree with Kelly. You can never just be a gorgeous woman or a pretty black (race, not skin) woman and to make matters worse the most hurtful comments come from people of your ethnicity…oh your pretty for a dark skinned girl…oh I used to hate that. Society doesn’t help matters when you look on billboards all you see are those all most white looking black girls (Beyonce) advertising products for African Americans. Hollywood doesn’t give dark skinned actors majors roles in major movies (Don Cheadle is a trailblazer). I am the darkest of my mothers children and ever one always pointed that out. As I got older I too learned to love my dark skin and thick lips. White women pay for skin like mine, get A$$ fat injected into their lips for this fullness and mystery fat put into their rears for what god gave me naturally. Then I feel so much better…I feel that they are the freaks and weirddos!!!

7/1/09, 11:22:am

Kelly is so beautiful its ridiculous.

May be its the identity crisis at a young age like Kelly described that make brown skin women so beautiful, strong, and down to earth. I exclusively date “chocolate” women for that reason. They are so *****ing beautiful and chill, but the self esteem issue always come into play.

I say to the beautiful brown women, consider the source; the individuals that control media will and always will perpetuate the features of “their” women as the beauty standard, not ours. We have been watching WET (White Entertainment Television) all of our lives, ingesting another peoples perception of beauty; judging ourselves and each other by a standard set by people who don’t fine “us” attractive, for the most part.

Its hard to see such beauty have self esteem issues.

And why is everyone so damn color struck and sit light skinned women on a pedistol..if your pretty your pretty no matter what your skin tone is, but for some reason everyone wants a light bright, redbone ECT. i dont get it…probably never will but i know i look good so thats all that matters lol

@ ALL THE DARKER COMPLECTED WOMEN

OK, serious question… How do you expect society to accept your skin color, when it seems as if you can’t even accept it yourself?

I mean I’m reading a lot of comments from women saying they can relate to what Kelly was feeling. Then you follow by saying something like, “society has the issue.” (I happen to agree with that *****essment)

Anyone care to elighten me?

I’m one of the darkest chicks that you’ll ever meet, but I promise whenever I come in a room I’m turning heads and that’s for real. I love me and wouldn’t change it for nothing in this world. My parents imbedded that in me as a child and as I got older it just grew with me. Being Chocolate is beautiful. Can somebody answer this question why is it when you see a portrait of a queen or a strong black woman they’re always a darker complexion and in the videos they always have a light skinned women and always calling them red B’s and so forth? I believe that a strong woman can be of any shades of color. My mom is a very beautiful light skinned Queen and my dad is beautiful dark skinned King.

I personally think Tiny is illiterate and I can’t understand her dialect – but maybe TIP loves her for what’s on the inside. When she was bigger than he was she let him use her studio for free, etc . . . . it’s hard to find real love in Hollywood. He’s be dumb to p***** up a woman who loves him and vive versa just because OTHER people don’t find her attractive.

@ Long hair, thick, and chocolate

I understand and agree with your *****ysis about society being color struck. I’m just confused as to why I hear some of the darker complected women mention their issues or former issues with thier hue, then in the next breathe complain about the color stricken society. Like how can you expect society to change their perspective on color when you have a plethora of dark women perpetuating the ignorant viewpoint.

thank god for wesley snipes…

after mo betta blues, it was a wrap

Wesley doesn’t even date black woman so I don’t think that was a good example to use.
Going to college or finishing HS has nothing to do with issues concerning yourself, such as not liking your dark skin or wishing you were lighter (which I never wanted). I just wished for people to stop saying things like your cute to be dark…why can’t I just be cute. So yes society does play a part in issues with skin color.



is it just me

7/1/09, 12:21:pm

I dont know if everyone has seen the study of when they asked little black girls and black boys what doll is prettier the black doll or the white doll and almost unanimously the little black girls said the white doll and then they asked the boys and all almost all the boys said they are equally as pretty. I think black men are more balanced about beauty than black women.

Black women are beautiful. Stop internalizing Eurocentric propaganda. The more you know your history..the more educated you are culturally and the more you stop reading the popular white consensus in history books (which were written BY and FOR other pink people) the better off you’ll be. Only in a bizaaro world like this one would Kelly not consider herself pretty because she doesn’t have recessive genes or is light sensitive.

As a dark-skinned dude myself I had the same issues growing up. I was getting soooo much flack for being dark that I actually wanted to be WHITE. When I think about it now yeah that was kind’da ridiculous but thats honestley the way I felt at the time. I used to go home & cry to my old man & tell him what the girls were saying he would just smile & tell me the same lil girls thats talking about u now will think diffrently in a few years. Even though I didnt believe him at the time it came true. I’ve been told NUMERIOUS of times (without asking) that I’m a SEXY cholocate ***** nig but the scares are still there.I still think to this day that I am kind’da “color struck” over my childhood. As a 31 year old man I’m still scepticule about having dark skinned kids jus due to I would do ANYTHING for them to avoid what I went thru.



Romayl

7/1/09, 12:41:pm

She used to feel the way a lot of darker skinned women all felt at one point in their childhood, and the way a lot of young girls think now. I’m just glad she was able to overcome that, because she is a very beautiful woman. Dark skin represents purity

7/1/09, 12:43:pm

Kelly is in a completely different level than Beyonce I think. Skin tones mean nothing, overall looks do and she is just finer. What a strange divide within black folks to love/hate each other on subtle differences of skin tone. I feel bad for those who waste time worrying about such things but then again, its all a by-product of the racism in the US and isnt their fault at all. Dumb question, maybe some of the folks who read this in the UK can answer, do such things concern black folks in Europe? Or is this uniquely American?

Dude, pull your skirt down. You sound like a ***** bro. You’re 31 and “skeptical” (the word you were attempting to spell correcty. Wtf is ’scepticule’) about having dark skinned kids. Those girls must’ve really *****ed your head up to have going home crying to your dad. You’re a *****ing embarr*****ment to black people and men alike.

To all the people commenting about how there are not enough dark-skinned women represented in these hip-hop videos and such, I wanna know if you really realize what your asking for. The way these females are depicted in these watered down *****o-vids are certainly not flattering in the least bit. Truthfully, I don’t think ANY “race” or “color” of woman should be portrayed in such a sleezy light. Do we really want “black” women to be degraded even more than they already are? Call me chessy, cliche, whatever you please…but I don’t buy into this whole notion of race and color like the rest of this *****ed up world does. We do enough dividing ourselves up with other superficial demarcations (religious affiliation, finances, education, etc.), why add more fuel to the already flaming fires of separation and condescension? I just think its high time all women begin realizing they are far more than their *****, *****, and cooch. I know I damn sure am!!! True beauty never fades and never wanes, so if you wanna place your bets on your physical appearance–GOOD LUCK WHILE IT LASTS!!! When it inevitably does decline, what will you have left then?



TRUTHHURTS

7/1/09, 12:50:pm

Well I am tall and dark. I get called pretty/beautiful/gorgeous all the time from whites, latins, blacks, asians. I remember one time when I was dropping a delivery package at an Italian Restaurant, the owner was like, wow, you are Gorgeous. When I was younger, I did encounter a few ignorant people made references about dark skin, but I didn’t let it affect me. I don’t comprehend how SKIN TONE makes someoene pretty or ugly. I look at features. Even today, some people want to think I am mixed with something because of my features or beauty. I think overall, BEAUTY IS BEAUTY regardless and most people realize that. As a child, I wasn’t aware of the skin tone issue. But as I get older, I saw and still sometimes see, how lighter skinned people tend to get more attention than darks. I think people need to LOVE themselves before anyone else does. There is always going to be ignorant people BUT do you.

7/1/09, 12:56:pm

I know there are alot of people that are sensitive Michael Jackson’s death, but let’s keep it real here. The “little” jokes about MJ that offend us are the same ones we laughed at and have said ourselves for years until last week. Just because someone makes a joke about Mike and his skin, or his kids, or his lifestyle, or whatever, does not mean we have to be offended. If the family is not running around mad, neither should we. It’s almost like the you can’t see the “N” word but we can type of scenario. Be more open. I’m sure you laughed at Jamie Foxx during the BET awards. Why? BEcause t is funny. If you stop tightening your face and laugh more, you would probably get through your day alot easier. I know I do. I am a big MJ fan. I had Off The Wall on 8 track. That tells you how long I’ve been f*cKin with Mike. I had a brother named Mike who died from AIDS. Yes he was gay. I am not. I am happily married with 2 kids and not a DL brother whatsoever. Do I hate gays? No. Do I laugh at some of the jokes I hear? Yes. But there is no love lost for my brother. You can’t be offended by the way someone else lives their life. If anything, you should learn what not to do by the way some of these Entertainers live their lives. Also sets an example for kids. “Yes son/daughter, he was a great entertainer, but you see why we teach you how to live right and become a responsible man/woman or husband/wife? That’s what we should focus on. Don’t by into the rumors. The truth will come out in court(to an extent). But media blogs are just that, people blogging aka my 2 cents. RIP Michael Jackson. RIP Common Scense. RIP Happiness.

@ BE HAPPY!
i agree with you a lot of dark skinned people in general comes to terms with there skin tone i am a dark skinned girl and i went to school with majority white people and when you are shown on tv in magazines and then at school that lighter or should i say whiter is better it effects you either have to learn and embrace your beauty or you hate yourself i embraced mine but in the 80’s seriously what dark skinned woman was on tv or in magazines did you see and could relate to their beauty not much if any i cant name one we always saw light skinned girls with long stringy hair like caucasions or they were white so not feeling good about your dark skin was common it aint right dont get me wrong but in the 80’s and early 90’s bright skinned people ruled the black race dark skinned didnt get in until like what 94,95,96 something like that it is easier now to be proud cause you see beautiful woman of all colors in the media and magazines-movies like iman,gabrielle union, kelly rowland, nia long, alek wek, naomi campbell etc etc good thing that has changed i remembers if you were dark back in the day you were teased for being burnt black or black as hell or whatever but never beautiful so it is not that we hate ourselves its just that if your never told that you are beautiful you start to believe it

Dear Bossip Authors,

Lord forgive you for speaking ill of Michael Jackson even AFTER his death. If he were bleaching his skin, how is is that he is the ONLY celebrity who has this “magic potion”? You mean to tell me that he is the ONLY person in the entire world who has been able to effectively lighten his skin color this drastically and STILL NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE heck he used? C’mon. Give it a rest. I pray that your children aren’t afflicted by anything that will make them social outcasts and cause people to laugh, mock, and stare. Maybe then, after you’re forced to watch your loved one suffer, you’ll recant this foolishness.

@ lady
thank u girl. i’ve been preaching the same ish like that 4 years. i see hollywood and this country in general, marginalizing dark women by only showing us at our worst and putting evry hi yella in front a camera. no talent *****es. what makes us beautiful as a people is when all shades are represented and there is definitely an underrepresentation of dark women among our people as well. the most hurtful is when dark men say that im pretty for a dark girl. it tells me that they hate me and themselves. sigh… so sad. our coffee is completely watered down and weak. it may look good but it wont do anything 4 u.



delete black *****es, enter white women

7/1/09, 14:20:pm

7/1/09, 14:31:pm

@Chocolate Brotha
I dont think you need to apologize obviously this has affected you just as much as black women so if you feel hurt you should be able to express yourself just like they were. I see it all the time the darkest brothas with white women or the closest thing next to it and i feel they probably went through the same as you. They are so insecure with themselves they want to feel accepted by those who are not like them. Having a white woman makes them feel better about themselves. Dont worry about having darker children tho if you teach them self worth from the start they shouldnt have this problem. Plus u may marry someone light and still end up with a dark child, accept and love whatever god gives you

It happens everywhere…yes even here in England. The light skin is better mentality is a feature here with black men. Lighter skinned women get more attention regardless of the actual beauty. But I wouldn’t say it is as blatant as in the US. Its just one of those unspoken preferences. But I’d actually say in the UK the trend is off black women completely, there are only 2 football (soccer) players in thw whole of the country who I have seen to have black gf’s -light or dark

Light Skin Not All That

7/2/09, 02:14:am

I would happily trade places with Kelly Rowland. Some black people only seem complexion. Some black people believe that the lighter the skin, the prettier or more handsome you are. That’s simply not true. I have a light complexion and I’ve seen a lot of chocolate sisters out there that are quite beautiful and I think, “why can’t that be me?”. I’ve seen light complexion blacks that weren’t attractive at all, yet some darker blacks made the lighter complexion blacks out to be a beauty by their mind standards. That’s simply just not true. I’ve even seen some darker complexion blacks become obsessed with being lighter that they actually believed they had a light complexion. It’s so sad skin tone has to be a definition of beauty in the African American community. Not all dark complexioned blacks are beautiful and not all light complexioned blacks are beautiful. I have many times would have chosen to be a darker beauty than a lighter female with uneven, splotchy, spotted skin tone. I judge beauty based on a unique look with features that complement each other and a person having a healthy balanced physique. I don’t judge beauty based on a skin tone.

@john hope franklin:

LOL….either that movie or School Daze. I think that movie also played a part in the mental divisiveness of the color of our skin. Light vs. dark has ALWAYS been (and will continue to be) an issue with black women. It’s sad that some black women have fell victim to this brainwashing.

I had a cousin who (when she was younger) had a “color struck” complex, too. She is the same complexion as Kelly. She would tell me that she wish she wasn’t dark-skinned because another girl at her school asked her why she was so dark and that lighter-skinned girls were prettier. It affected her in many ways that even most of her boll babies were white and if she had a black doll, she seldom played with it.

It’s a deep and painful issue for darker-skinned girls to live with because they have society telling them they arent as pretty, and then you have most men who tend to choose a lighter-skinned woman over a darker-skinned woman. I could imagine how that could effect ones mental thought about themselves, and it be negative.

I think Kelly is pretty. So what if she’s dark-skinned! Her skin is smooth, she has a nice smile, and a nice body! She should have NO complaints.

Even my homeboy thinks that Kelly is prettier than Beyonce…..and for some time, I’ve been starting to see what he was saying.

And yeah Bossip….why would you make such a comment about Michael like that? That was very irresponsible and tasteless on your part.

I mean, come on. The man hasn’t even been buried yet and you’re already talking about him. Do you guys have no common sense? Or a heart, even?

I keep saying it, but I just dont get how a black women can run a site like this. I dont get it.

Wow, Kelly must have extremely low self esteem, just because a person has money anf fame doen’t mean they love themselves and are confident, how sad. And yes Tiny is an ugly little troll looking chick, lol… I guess she’s taking one for the team ! Lol…

Free Post, yes in main stream rap and r&b videos they have more light skinned (or wannabe’s, lol) and non Black chicks featured on the screen. But there are more Black chicks that are featured in the lower budget rap video, but of course the mojority of those videos are shot inside of a strip club or pool side, and some of those videos are trashy, lol….

Bossip wants to blame Bey for Kelly’s low self esteem. Sorry but that one is personal, next you are going to blame Bey for Michael’s death when infact it is people like Bossip who could not stand his success and power because he gave so much that lord blessed him greatly. ***** off Bossip

No Success haters run this site. If you are successful watch out for Bossip’s rumor mills. As They will be there to cut you down as if killing MJ was not enough. notice no appologies for spreading rumors about him wanting to be white even when they know of his skin disorder…*****ing *****s.
