that’s so messed up

1st time ever

FIRST!!! and only… but that’s beside the point.

Come on now Diddy…Really!!!!
So I guess he’s rollin with Young Turd aka “No Dark Butts”

Most of America is color struck.

Diddy doesn’t own Ciroc.

$35.00 per hour? Is that it?

Him not wanting darker ladies doesnt shock me, the fact that they actually said it does. Can we say lawsuit?

If this is true, I guess he can count out his daughters, if they where indeed old enough, pitiful

So what’s the deal with mini-OctoBabyMomma Kim?!? Hell she’s dark and he keeps up knocked up

DIDDY WILL DO ANYTHING TO STAY IN THE PUBLIC EYE! EVEN BEING IGNORANT WILLL DO IT

bay girl

$35.00 per hour? Is that it?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, cheap azz

Call me Crazy, but I’M NOT Very FOND of Dark Butts

oh my

@ Moreaces

Lol

gee willikers!!

Hmmmm……excluding dark skinned Sistahs from product advertising…..yeah, thats a new concept **sarcasm**.

Its not like anyone should be surprised….its Diddy damnit!!!
(I thought he told you that he won’t stop…….)

Diddy knows that a true dark-skinned woman like my self would never go for a gig so cheap. $35/hr, give me a break. I can make that in my sleep. How dare he descriminate. He is dark-skinned and so is his baby-mama!

Self hatred at it’s finest.

It’s such a shame.

Black people are always the ones crying racism against the white man yet we discriminate against our own people. I’ve seen plenty beautiful brown & dark women (including myself, eff if you dont agree) that are worthy but we all know in “society’s eyes” having the “european look” is considered beautiful & acceptable.

I would expect this from any other race but from our own people?

OH WELL.

Diddy isn’t paying my bills so…

LOL

Sometimes you have to wonder why do black people still have a big complex this day in age. Can’t people have preference in what kinds of women they want in their ads. Maybe puffy figured ciroc might sell more with light skinned women in his ad. Sooooooo what’s wrong with that. Ya fricken black people fight and argueeeee too dam much. No wonder, bye……….

lmao @ 19

We all know that Diddy has fruity tendenacies.

His Momma is dark!

I love Black Men; but sometimes y’all hurt.

So it this why he will not marry Kim Porter, and has switched to Cassie?

diddy is stupid

you people act like he typed up the casting email himself, If he didn’t like dark skin models why the hell did he have 3 kids by one.

This is probably something the add agency has selected and I doubt very seriously if ‘diddy’ made the exclusions a prerequisite. i’m sure this will be changed once ciroc/diddy learns of this

Nappy Soul

He used all black models for one of his runway shows I should’ve known it was just for publicity and Oprah’s attention.
**************************

Should the white models have sued when he did that?

STOP WHINING OVER NOTHING ALL THE DAMN TIME PEOPLE. WE GOT BIGGER FISH TO FRY.

There’s a difference between having a preference for the type of audience you are trying to attract (Why would a dark skin woman model for a tanning company?) and flat out subliminally saying hey you can’t model for us no matter how pretty you are because of your skin color. Regardless if you meet the height and measurements required. C’mon this is an ad for a damn drink. Why can’t the brown sistas be included?

DISCRIMINATION written all over it. Wake up you dilusional people.

boycott don’t drink ciroc

First of all, no one said that puffy thinks the lighter the prettier, he just wants what he wants. Wow black people are the worst racists,yeap it’s not just the white on black, it’s black on black hate just like black women, they so hate on each other. It seems like black people have no unity, they hate on each other and are very selfish.

@ 35

It doesn’t matter who made the decision, it’s still wrong in my eyes.

But dah well.

No, he’s with cassie instead of kim porter because cassie is fine as hellzzzzzzzzzz and ya dumb as hellzzzzzzzzzz.

@Mrs. Retchet,

I see we have a uncle tom. The white models didn’t need to sue because they’re constantly featured at fashion week. However, if the white models were discriminated against damn right they should sue. Discrimination is WRONG I don’t care what color. However, I think diddy thought he was doing something ground breaking seeing that you rarely see Black models at the high end fashion shows.

How dare you tell me to stop whining. How bout’ you shut your hole and mind your own damn business. You miserable bloggers come around with your negativity well, you can’t ever steal my JOY. Can you prove ME wrong? No you cannot. All you can do is ask me to be silent. Well I wont! It is not right that these people continuously caste down dark skin people. How about you get a life and try not worry about the truth.

There you have it. no dark-skinned people need pay (too much) for this over-priced rotgut.

Theres no real reason to blame Diddy. This goes a lot deeper than that. The media has been waving the “white is right” banner since its conception. This isn’t the first casting call or modeling audition that used the same criteria and it won’t be the last. This should just serve as proof to you that we need to wake up and smell the bullshit……..stop letting the images you see dictate the images you find attractive…..or your own requirements for who you want to be with will read “whites, hispanics or light skinned african americans need only apply”…….and that would be a damn shame.

As a black woman who cares if they don’t want black women in there advertisement ciroc taste like piss

He didn’t want any fat models either should they sue

LOL @ KIT

Someone may have something some day and decide they don’t want any lame asses with big teeth, and since Diddy falls into that category, he won’t qualify.. it’s life..

Ya people really are dilusional. So fricken what if he didn’t want dark models or fat models, so now ciroc tastes like piss, yea can’t ya can’t be in it. I ain’t no racist, but you black women really are haters, look what ya mad about.

Why would the fashion industry be geared towards fat people. Certain things are not for fat people. Why don’t you open a business and do what ever the hell you want with it.

@Dina,

You must be one of God’s children correcting the DEVIL. I can’t disagree with you though

Yea, hit me with your best words, who wants to waste their time arguing with me. First runner up????????

Diddy doesnt OWN ciroc, he is the sponsor. He may not have had anything to do with the marketing/advertisement decisions. They were saying on Russ Parr this morning that the owners of ciroc are French and may be looking for ladies that represent where they are from. Im on the fence with this one cause I know that I can be overly sensitive when it comes to race (I LOVE MY BLACK FOLK!!!)and I know nothing is fair in the modeling business so I’ll keep my eyes and ears open for more on this story before I form an opinion.

The fact is that the majority of people (including Blacks) in this world do not prefer dark women.

Wow “including blacks”, I’m proud black people realise that blacks are bashing on blacks, but ya’ll expect whites to like blacks, even though your own race doesn’t prfper you. What a joke.

and who wants some angry bitter black female serving them drinks, I get enough of that at my local super market.

joking

shame on you mrs carter, shame shame shame!

@ Lola, oh oh you must be black…

This is the first time I ever respond to a blog, I have been viewing this site for about a year. And I have to say if it is true, then that is sad but what can you do, NOTHING. Other race in this world hate us whether you want to beleive this or not they HATE US. For whatever reason those sick judgemental bastards hate us. But whats even more sad is that when we are put in a position of power, WE FORGET. There are things we must do right now as a people we have an obligation to uphold we lost too much time, the playing field must be even. And until you understand a portion of what I am saying then we will continue as a nation of black souls still searching for the light.

so sad.

just kidding!

and ya’ll, dont think for a second puffy didnt know about that ad.

ban ciroc.

To all of you who think this is life: No.

What you mean is, this is the white life. It’s wrong for any of these people to request, more or less, ethnically ambiguous women. Why? They are defining a spectrum of beauty that has nothing to do with what is legitimately attractive and basing it instead of complexion. Obviously this sort of stipulation is just another event in promoting white as a standard.

Why is it that a woman can only be beautiful when she appeals to Western ideals of beauty? News Flash, black people. We ought to be defining our own standard, not submitting to these oppressive notions with ignorant consolations like… “That’s life.”

There’s a larger question that I think we ought to be considering. Some of you have made interesting points. For example, consider the assertion that Diddy is less to blame because he didn’t put this notice out first hand.

Sure. But at the same time, there’s no way to avoid his culpability. Ultimately, he is the one people are seeking answers from. Hence this forum.

Dismissing this as just “life” is ignorant at best. The TRUTH is that this is what you accept. Don’t confuse the two.

Cassie aint never been mistaken for Missy!

That is not right, every skin tone is beautiful. He should be looking at talent, instead of skin tone. Damn, treat every girl equally. No wonder why he has Cassie and Lauren London in his Sean John ads.

or Total

PM “joking”

No you’re not. You make the same hurtful comments all the time.

You suffer from the same self hate as Diddy et al.

People like you are responsible for bringing down our race.

@ PM,

You can call me 6am or reloaded

U damn well his azzz will deny having anything to do with that..He just showed me how much of an azzz he is , by not even checking what has his name attached to it…….

I am so sick and tired of black people carrying over the color struck ways of the past. Light is not better or more beautiful than dark or visa versa. All of the colors can be beautiful, okay, or ugly looking. Physical beauti includes clarity of the skin, symatry of the features, etc.

What is ugly is the ignorance that color struck behavior does within our own culture! It separates us from ourselves when we should be work on stregthening ourselves!

I am ashamed of the alleged ignorant behavior displayed by that Diddy, Puffy, or whomever he is calling himself these days.

@ honestly, why would he want talent vs. beauty on a fricken picture ad? Ya’ll not thinking.

Why is it that Dark Skin Males don’t the issue with their skin color that Dark skin Females do.

He was’nt concerned about Kim’s shade when he was knocking her a** up. Now I guess we know why he never married her. What a f**ing cornball, not to mention the fact that he is dark and so is his momma. I can’t stand a self hating a** nigg*. SMDH

everybody calm down, you shouldnt get upset over some puffy shit!

Kim Porter is brown, and so are his twin daughters, and that boy he has with Kim. How does this make sense? I am sick of black men with their hang ups. Diddys mom is brown skinned. Hell, Michelle O is brown skinned. One day “we shall overcome” ourselves.

I guess, Lola because you You say so, then i’m guessing you must be a huge pile of horse shitz, right.

I should not say every race hate us that is a little too strong of my opinion. I was just so mad at that ad. And I do apologize for that, but it feel so strong when you go certain places and what others have sad they’d experienced. I just wish that we had an even playing field. PEACE!!!!

LOL…..darkskinned sistas ya’ll gonna be alright because ya beauty can’t be denied….you’ll neva go tha way of us lightskinned brothas……..in tha 80′s we damn near became obsolete………but we making a comeback…LOL

I have friends who were born in Paris. Someone mentioned earlier that the Parisian owned liquor co wanted people that represented their country. Well I take it you’ve never been to France? I guess you have never seen all the beautiful Africans in all shades of black walking around. Please stfu!!! NOW

“Why is it that Dark Skin Males don’t the issue with their skin color that Dark skin Females do.”

@pm – Probably because a lot of black women tend to find darker men attractive. How many times have your heard a woman say light-skinned brothers aren’t “in” anymore or how much they love chocolate brothers.

Damn people……this has been going on for AGES!!!!. Turn your TV on and isn’t it obvious that the deeper the African features are on a person, the less likely you will see them on mainstream television? This is not by mistake. There is a particular image that hollywood and madison ave have been pushing all along. Diddy didn’t create this form of not so subliminal imagery….he just fell victim to it. The key is to avoid doing the same.

“Why is it that Dark Skin Males don’t the issue with their skin color that Dark skin Females do.”

@PM
Because dark skin is associated with masculinity (tall DARK and handsome); while light skin is associated with femininity (the FAIR maiden, etc)
This is true in most cultures (dont kill the messenger)

I gotta get back to work, bye all!

DAMN DIDDY LIKE THAT?! I’M NOT DARK/CHOCOLATE OR WHATEVER BUT A PERSON HAS A RIGHT TO THEIR OWN PREFERNCE RIGHT? NOTHING WRONG W/ THAT BUT THEY DIDN’T HAVE TO ANNOUNCE IT, THAT’S KINDA RUDE!

BEING HONEY COATED I’VE ALWAYS HAD THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS – I HAD NO PROBLEM GETTING THE GUY WHO LIKE EITHER (DARK OR LIGHT) BECAUSE I FALL IN THE MIDDLE .. SUNKISSEDCOMPLEXION I THINK THEY CALL IT

THANKS MOM!!

wow

People can crack jokes on dark skinned women all they want. Crack jokes while your own melanin deficient skin is cracking right along with them! YAH always has the last laugh!

Damn people……this has been going on for AGES!!!!.

*******CAN’T STAND DIDDY BUT THIS IS THE TRUTH!!!

I read somewhere that there were already enough dark models booked for the job so they were looking for lighter ones. I could care less either way b/c this skin shade thing with Black Americans is beyond sad and beginning to get on my nerves. Beauty is in your features, not your skin tone, but a lot of you are too ignorant to realize that. People get so sensitive about skin color here. This is funny for a race of people who claim they are so hated on by everyone else. As long as you carry that mindset you will never be able to completely love yourselves and your culture. Love each other people. I’m out.

************DAMN THIS IS SO TRUE. MY MAN IS RED AS HELL & HE CAN’T STAND IT. BEFORE ME ALL HE DATED WAS DARK AFRICAN’S. I AM BROWN SKIN BUT I FEEL LIGHT COMPARED TO HIS EX’S. I THINK THAT HE BELIEVES HAVING A DARKER WOMAN MAKE HIM LOOK MORE BLACK.

I’ve always wondered whether the Cheeto balls you get in the canister were ghetto or was it just the cheetos in the bag.

@Lique. just don’t drink a strawberry soda with either

@lique,

I think the cheetos in the bag are more ghetto then the cheetos balls. Although the manufactured cheese and chemicals could be considered a scientific project. I see a lot of asians and whites eating the cheetos in the bag. Damn that’s a tuff one. Are cheetos in the bag or the balls more ghetto? I blame the bag. *Mike Tyson Voice* I’m Perplexed!

@Higher – I think the bag is what does it too. Think about it…Pringles are in a canister too and Pringles aren’t ghetto!

I just feel a lot more upper-middle class when I eat my chips from a quiet canister vs. a loud bag.

JUST DONT SUPPORT THE COMPANIES WHO DON’T APPERCIATE YOUR BEAUTIFUL SKIN TONE

Diddy should’ve said “i bang all shades” and sexes, “i don’t discriminate, baby” nor am i a sexist. hahahh lol

@Higher than Giraffe PussE.. I don’t argue with female in real life so I damn sure want do it on the net.. on that note..see ya peeps friday.

Can We Say Publicity Stunt

@LIQUE………..LMAO….damn, now I want some cheetos.

What he forgot to mention was the fact that he bangs all genders…

Dark skin does not equal FAT.
I just felt the need to point that out. Some of ya’ll are just backwards.

Still ova in tha corna wonderin why tha fall-off of tha light skinned bruthas happened in tha 80′s……

@mean green,

I have been told that my honey pecan carmel skin and cablasian almond shaped eyes are far more attractive and exotic then those REGULAR females out there. I know your struggle being the best of both worlds. If one more person asks to kiss my freckles or touch my naturally wavy hair I think I’ll scream. I’m not latina or mixed I’m apart of the stolen african people of west africa and Native Slapahoe. Woe woe woe is ME, girl I feel your PAIN!!! I’m thinking of starting a group for OUR kind.

Anybody that is still supporting Diddy and even Jay, Pharrel is a IMBECILE (translation) FOOL!
No self respecting black person would pay them any mind.

I doubt Diddy has a problem with dark skin women, he is with Kim Porter and she’s not light…

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH OF THE BULLSHYT ALREADY.

WAKE UP!

@Illuminate:
Thanx for feelin’ me, I get so crazy that so much of the war against our community is being conducted through our own peeps.

Maybe cause am not american i dont fully get it…:(

Hmmm… Well, nobody drinks Ciroc anyway LMAO. No need to get too offended people. Ignore the ignorance and drink from a buyer that respects all the customers.

oh maybe i dont really care less cause i live in a country where ugly is ugly light, dark or wht and pretty is pretty regarless of what complexion it is. Or maybe i am not tcolour struck or self hating or love me to much and that shows to other but i guess if i was into modelling and saw that i may be like ok i cant go because of my complexion wow ok that will feel odd getting prejuded before i’ve been meet kinda like an interview when some see yr name and judge yr race and deny u when u know yr good enough haha wow 2009 ooh well…

Of course it was his idea.
The real question is, why are we shocked.
We all know he is ignorant.
P.S.
That picture is gay.

TO EVERYONE AFRICAN-AMERICAN DARK-SKINNED WOMAN:

If these allegations are true, so what! Who cares what he or any other man thinks about you? You all are beautiful and I love women. Dark-skinned, light-skinned, brown, caramel, red, it makes no difference. As long as you know God loves you just the way you are and you love yourself, it doesn’t matter about anyone else loving or liking you.

I hate that silly stuff like this is still taking over the mentality of our African Americans. We are sometimes our own worst enemy. Don’t go changing yourself my beautiful black sisters for any other unappreciative person that doesn’t the appreciate the quality and the value of who God made you to be.

God had someone specifically designed in mind when he created you. He made you a certain complexion, He designed your body frame a certain size, He gave you the likes and dislikes in your personality ALL for a reason. If there are people out there who don’t appreciate it, don’t worry because God made someone that will.

You are BEAUTIFUL my dark-skinned sisters. I LOVE YOU ALL. Don’t go changing for anyone….be the beautiful black woman of integrity that God designed for you to be!

Think about it most of the people making the really harsh comments about are probably in the middle with a complex about the melenin in there complexion so they choose to hate on us. Its all good cause we all know the root of hate.

Sorry to burst some bubbles but in the real world shoot we get just as much play if not more from dudes so pls miss me with the foolishness………….

Thank you Tash!!!!
I have experienced the same thing plenty of times. People even black people can’t stand a confident black (dark) women they feel like who the hell does she think she is. Then they clinge to there man cause they see there eyes following us!!!

@De’Vincent

Homey….when did Eva Mendez turn black?

LMAO @ Young berg saying “dark butts” who knew what that little dude started.

LETS NOT RIDE DOWN ON DIDDY. BUT IF WE ARE GOING THERE. BET IS IN ALOT OF TROUBLE TOO. WHITE MAN STILL GOT US UNDER CONTROL. BUT FOR ALL THOSE WHO DON’T LIKE A DARK SKINNED SISTER. YOU CAN K.M.B.A.

I’m dark, yet not offended. It’s a preference. Just like they don’t want anyone under 5’6 … I’m 5’1” am I supposed to be mad at that too??? What about all of the women who are bigger than a size 7??? Just preference, and since they don’t prefer dark, short, big girls …

I won’t PREFER Ciroc

I agree cassie is fine as hell, she’s perfect for my son, I mean with his horseface and inability to close his mouth he’ll finally have some decent lookin’ kids with her.

@ Me Me Me,

My sons babymomma kim was a mistake, he was hurt aftre JLo dumped him, so it was any “brown” port in a storm

People see beauty in what they choose. Please see ugliness where they are afraid to see beauty.

DeVincent:

Thanx for spreadin’ the love my brotha!!

I thought he was called young “turd”

anyway ya’ll cant hurt my son hes too rich

@ De’Vincent

Lauryn Hill & Brandy should’ve been on your list.

@ DeBargeJunkie

Know that that post was for your dumb ass!!!

People need to boycott Ciroc. Money talks in this business. The product doesn’t stand for what you believe in, don’t buy it! Trust me, Diddy & Co. will get the message.

You know what would be funny if a lot of Fantasia, and Buffie the body clones would infiltrate that Ciroc audition any damn way, lol… Diddy would pissed, lol. I hope I hear the internet next week, lol…

Sean like what he like, damn. Who cares? If he was broke all y’all wouldn’t give him the time of day.

^^^^^
thought that said inmate mingle for a second there. I was like dayum even the jail birds are looking for love online.

your on to something bloodshot

What’s so disappointing to me is that other people may be sponsoring and casting this but trust, Diddy has his hand in EVERY PART OF HIS BUSINESS VENTURES!!

As much as he irritates the crap outta me, I have to admit that he is a very smart business man whose made himself millions.

A lot of these behind-the-scenes industry folks may not like him to his face but they know who butters their bread and can see $$ when he walks thru the door.

To sum it up–He has some influence in the selection process–which means he can have say so on color, weight, height, etc. but he chooses to be selective and for that he gets an “F” on empowering, recognizing and uplifting our African American sistahs.

Still LMAO @ Bloodshot!

This is some tomfoolery. If this guy didn’t have a fat bank account, he’d be ALONE. lol.

Also, why is $35/hour not enough? Its not like these girls are doing anything really important. LOL.

His babies momma has dark skin(Kim Porter!) What is he doing? I’ve always said that if he ever got married, he would marry a white girl! Poor Kim she gave him three kids and all he gave her was the title BABY MOMMA! She’s paid! But I’m sure deep down she want’s him to marry her.

Hi diva!

im shocked by all theses comments against diddy…. but i didnt know kim porter was light skin… shes a dark skin gurl especially when shes been in the sun

The casting call would appear to be excluding Asian women ENTIRELY.Not a lot of money for a product that has been nationally advertised.Maybe a localised ad?

rofl

his wifey is darkskinned it’s probably the agency that said that not diddy

yeah i have so much respect for asian woman, they are perfection, beautiful.

nah men dark skin chics are not attractive to me. sorry… i prefer latina and light skin

@HAHAHA
Dark skin women are great man. You know those dark chocolates with the pink centers? Yeah…love that look when doing certain things. Box of dark chocolate strawberry treats. That weird?

Oops one of my blue contacts fell out, oh well its a good thing i keep a pair of green ones in my purse…..carry on!

brb

I was told that Leroy Green could be found in here

@ 6–

I think it was the Kim K. thread. I usually don’t post in the Kim K. threads (at least NOT on topic. I pretty much just lurk.

No asians either?????

@ Shonuff–

I’m LOVING your gravie!!

@SHONUFF

YOU FIND MY PLACE, YOU FINALLY FOUND MY PLACE

OH, NO. WE DON’T SET ANGELS ON FIRE

@ 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals!!!™

Thanks. I luv yours as well and I like the nickname!!! U got that glow!!!

Well Thank you!

**blushing**

YOU CAN REST ASSURED ASIANS, INDIANS, MEXICANS

ANY OF THE LIGHTER COMPLECTED RACES WERE NOT EXCLUDED IN THIS CASTING CALL.

THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN FILED UNDER “EXOTIC” AND IMMEDIATELY CONSIDERED FOR THE JOB.

@ Vanity

hope u finally kicked that chump Leroy to the curb now and realized that the Shogun is the master.

Oops one of my blue contacts fell out, oh well its a good thing i keep a pair of green ones in my purse…..carry on!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh my!!

@SHONUFF

LEROY PUNK AZZ IS LONG GONE, HE LEFT ME FOR THAT WHITE CHICK WITH THE FUNNY HAIR THAT WAS SINGING THEM WACK AZZ SONGS I WOULD NEVER PLAY AT THE CLUB FOR HER.

Well you can’t blame them…Afterall, they (the makers) of Ciroq wants to market their vodka as an upper scale product, and with this whole “HIP HOP-rization” of certain products, utilizing dark skinned women can circumvent it’s broad-base appeal…And nothing spells GHETTO or FAILURE than using a bunch of dark complected women to reach a certain demographic…Now if Ciroq was a malt liquor….

Didnt Puff daddy use a brown girl in one of his ads? I forgot who she was and all I remeber is she had a bad wig on. I think she was a singer.

I dont see the big deal.
Promotional companies discriminate against short people all the time. You have to be a certain height to be considered a model or a certain weight to be considered for anything of a physical nature
Height and weight discrimination daily. People never address that even though I am sure those that are being discriminated feel just like u do about them wanting light-skinned, spanish, white girls.
Which one of you would date a guy 5’6″?

Looks like the makers of Ciroq are doing a little damage control, and the talent agency is obviously ran by an illiterate lot.

okay, kim aint red….

when you have a mother like his, it can confuse you sometimes. she raised him like that. I really dont seem him doing nothing like that. his wife/ baby mom is beautiful and he really like girls with complexion to them.

Im so tired of people being SO hypocretical! you’re talking about preferences like you really believe it!! The fact is that its been for many years now that light skin girls are preferred over dark skin women! So can we really talk about preference or should we talk FACT/REALITY/TENDENCY! Its time to change it and this is why i respect tyra because with her big mouth, she talks about things that really matter(not always but sometimes)! light skin black women are beautiful, dark skin women are beautiful! Refusing to celebrate the dark skin beauty is still like refusing to acknowledge that your ancestors were beautiful because yeah, in case you dont know, they come from africa and most of them were dark! Im not saying that putting a light skin beauty in front page everytime is stating that you are happy this white blood in your line is lightening up your genes but almost to me!Celebrate ALL beauties and we would be fine! Its also must a be a coincidence that most of succesful black women are light skin or mixed! Come on, love yourself! and you want dark people to understand that people have preferences, well, i wonder how you would feel if only dark skin women were preferred over you beautiful light skin women! it would feel unfair! well its the same! Black woman are beautiful, im one of them so i know! But just like i have one who sister is really light , im are brown and my other sister is really dark! and we are all ONE FAMILY!

I feel very sad about it. Light or dark we are all BLACK people and it’s too bad to see P.Diddy dis-up grated us like this. Like us Frenchies say “We answered to fools buy silence”

HE REMINDS ME OF HALLE BERRY

I TRIED DARK SKIN BLACK WOMEN I TRIED. WAILING IN A MOCKED SOUTHERN VOICE. HE’S HALF WHITE ANYWAY.

Hating on Puffy just because he don’t want dark models. That is what the audition calls for. Don’t ya people ever respect the dicision of other people. He’s a business man. Ya, always getting offended, damn!

if that’s what he wants,then that’s what he want…shi,i ain’t neva dated a darkskin man before,and i honestly don’t ever want to,and imma darkskin girl.

LMAO @ “CHRISTIES SECRET”…YEA,U HELLA RIGHT ABOUT THAT SHIT.

colour prejudice..no wonder the black race will always be stuck in a rut…and we complain when a white person is racist towards us… smh

Was not aware….

Until just now that he has a sister named Keisha. By his standards, she’s a dog…

By his standards, his mother and daughters are undesirable, less than…

Does he pay his sister to hide???

um, does anyone realize is baby moms are light brown and dark skinned chicks???? i believe the man probably dont discriminate, he’ll stick it in any color cuz it looks the same in the dark

he’s completely commercialized and unoriginal. anyone who’s heard his music can tell you that. he’s merely catering to the vast public of ignorant, color-struck americans.

kim’s not white, hispanic or light-skinned.

this ridiculousness is just business. mind you, i am no diddy fan. i find him obnoxious, self-important, and shallow. but i highly doubt that this model-call is a reflection of his own personal dating preferences.

he’s an entertainer, not a civil-rights activist. if you’re tired of seeing crap like this, go march or be a big-brother/big-sister or something.

“And Imperial Management reached out to us – here’s what they said:

Imperative Talent Management we would like publicly clear any confusing that was cause by an email that was sent out our talent that might have been forwarded outside of our database. We are a management company that books talent for promotional opportunities, our booking agents aggressively searches the net daily for modeling jobs. and forwarded to our talent. It wasn’t our attentions to discredited CIROC Liquor and the nature of this opportunity would have to come from the source (Tysum Talent).”

ARE THEY RETARDED???? holla at me if you need a tech writer, cause that statement was not in english.

Isn’t it funny that some “hispanics” can be darker than many black folks. Yet the ad only tells black women to be light skinned. They aren’t concerned that a white broad who stayed in the tanning booth too long might show up. This add is all f-ed up because they don’t want big girls either! Wow.

I don’t understand why people still get upset about stuff like this. It’s a fact that all men prefer light skinned women over dark. You can get mad all you want. It’s not self hate it’s just that 9 times out of 10 light skinned women are prettier and if a brown skinned chick is cute then she really gotta have it goin on to be able to compete. You know most of you dark skinned women know deep down inside that the light skinned, white and spanish chicks are pretty you just don’t want to admit it. All men think this way and any man that says they don’t is lying!

@ demani…the majority of hispanics are not dark or brown skinned. Compared to the entire population of hispanics the dark skinned ones make up a very small percentage.

I think this has all been blown out of proportion. I’ve seen plenty of dark-skinned women in ads for Ciroc (did y’all see the link PD posted on Twitter this morning to his past campaigns? http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=54228937&albumId=2644854 does that look like discrimination to you????).

Not to mention…Ciroc and this ad agency already called this out as totallY FAKE.

@nunya
where are u from cause where I’m from its not like that. How old are u cause that sounds young alot of men that I know that are grown don’t really think like that. I always tell darskin women that these men don’t know what to do with no chocolate. I’ve never met a man that exclusively dated lightskin chicks then started dating darkskin chicks then went back to light. I guess in the black community once you go black you never go back too!

@Nunya I think you are wrong too because there are whole hispanic country filled with nothing but dark people but the country light Hispanics are found there are dark too so one would think there is more dark/brown people. common sense

@ NUNYA BIZ

COMPLETELY AGREE! PREACH!

Sad as it may be the dark skinned sister is usually the invisible woman in the media. Men can range from Terrance Howard to Idris Elba and be seen as fine. The model call is terrible, but I guess I give them credit for saying what a lot of people think.

White people feel this is non-existent in the black community. We discriminate again each other because of our color. I get it. I’ve been told “I’m not black enough”.

Diddy, Puff Daddy, whatever the f&@k his silly name is, he is a fool if he is apart of this. Any smart business man would make sure he is aware of what is being advertised with his name on it. That being said, he was with Kim for awhile, and has that other daughter (while he was supposed to be with Kim) who looks just like those cute (dark skinned) twins with Kim, so I’m not sure about this one. Nevertheless, you have to be more professional when your name is going to advertise something, or promote something. This says more about his need to become more business oriented and smart about the things he puts his name on.

YEH WE NKOW HE LIKES DOING MEN TO ASK SUPERHEAD.

WHO CARES WHAT PIFF DADDY DOWN LOW DOO RAG THINKS…HE IS SOOOOOOOO FRICKEN GAY…DIDDY (NAME SAYS IT ALL) LIKES BOTH P-SSY AND D-ICK…KEEP IT REAL.. I CANNOT STAND THAT PANSY MAN. HE IS A JOKE…..

HE USED TO BE WITH LOON SO WE KNOW HE LIKE DARK MEAT.

aww i love diddy specially the swagger

Stop buying his shit! It’ll serve him right!

hmm thanks puff for “TRYING” to redeem yourself with the chocolate sistas at the BET awards.
