so, in short, vonc
know what you talkin bout before you start talkin

Not one color needs to be slighted or exalted over the other.

obviously, hun. & yet lighter-skinned ethnic people are presented with more opportunities than darker-skinned ones all of the time. In order to get rid of a cycle, ppl need to shed light on those that were once oppressed; that's why BET exists.

I applaud the Black Panther casting directors for getting three darker-skinned actors to play the leads, because the shit never happens and if it has, please post the productions of the same caliber that have done it.

Regardless of race... I can only speak on my interests and what helped mold me.

I'm only going to discuss the Lee Daniels shows, since that's whats going brought up.
I'll say it ONCE again. I LOVE SWV. Period. Regardless of RACE. Or even GENDER, since u mentioned AA female.
When I heard Lee Daniels mention that show... I immediately thought "Oh, I see them doing an early 90s slay with a black girl group slaying the scene". Guess why? That's what I GREW UP ON. That SIMPLE.

That away RACE. And just focus on my interests and experience with that.

You don't have to be the same race to want that race to be represented.
You can't be the close minded.

And you also have to remember, I am posting on a predominately black website. If I didn't have the same interests, or artists that we connect with, I would have left a long time ago. But we all seem to have common interests in music, film, tv... I love that.

And I can't apologize for thinking I was gonna see a SWV group instead of a 3LW group.
Cause it won't real or genuine. And I FEEL THAT WAY because I grew up that way. Regardless of race.

Your UP-BRINGING and what YOU'RE EXPOSED TO makes all the difference.
I've seen interracial relationships throughout my family for DECADES. And I have seen many culturals connect and BLEND to the best of their abilities. That's WHAT I KNOW. That's MY experience. It shaped me, I'm sure, for having a diverse, more open minded outlook. I don't know?

Maybe if this was "One Direction Source" and I was on a board with a different demographic, I'd be discussing Leo Dicap, or Wyona Ryder more often... cause I love them too. But here I get to talk about Angela Bassett and Nia Long, who I love to. It's just a common area of interests for the demographic I'm in. RACE doesn't have to determine who you connect to. That's how it you're making it seem. But I could be wrong.

real? vonc?

Hi Real.
I actually like you.
So I will expand on that comment.

When I heard about Lee Daniels girl group show. I got excited, cause I live for a girl group. Let me name the ones that have slayed me. SWV, TLC, DC, Xscape. Shit, even Monkenstef slays me with their one hit wonder selves.

This was i was asking about. These are not all dark skinned girl groups.  U keep saying this dark skinned thing and i don't understand it either tbh. Black people need to be represented in all colors because we aren't just dark. Not one color needs to be slighted or exalted over the other.  Its like ur looking for a "RIGHT ON" or hand clap but im not clapping. Ur just like hazel but on the flip side

I'll be honest with you.
The word "dark" isn't negative to me.
I wasn't going to say "brown" or "brown, light, dark" girl group.
It's not that deep. I don't think that far into it.
All honesty. Not my experience.

And I was just thinking SWV.
And I know they're all different shades.
But who cares?

i don't want to turn this isn't something that it isn't.

[Rxxf]

so because they arent dark skinned, they are recognized as an AA girl group?

who said any of that?

Ralf did,  MOVE! 

no, you read something he said and insinuated what I quoted. Please find the post where someone explicitly states, "because they arent dark skinned, they aren't recognized as an AA girl group."

I never said it.

well, you said something that dealt with dark skin people (that I agreed with) and from that, he somehow thought it meant dark skin people are the only ones who can represent real African Americans. & that's something no one has ever said or would ever even agree with

Oh no that's not TRUE.

My goodness...
Not THAT deep.


That's not what I was saying.

[Real]

And I can't apologize for thinking I was gonna see a SWV group instead of a 3LW group.

This is pretty much the whole basis for vonc asking the question he asked.

The ignorance and generalizations in this just....woo! Yeah.

We not gonna see eye to eye.

Good nite yall

[Rxxf]

The group looked like a 3LW mess

And I wanted SWV
I know all three girls are different skin-tones

My statement was attacked because of who I am.
Period. Bottom line.

who said dark is negative? No one said that. The only one harping on dark skinned is u, which is the reason for this entire conversation. U say u know they're all different shades and who cares but apparently u do. U named groups that were not all dark skinned girls but then say u would have preferred all dark skinned girls because it reminds u of the the groups u loved growing up, and then go on to say who cares about different shades. You're a little EVERYWHERE in here tbh.

You've been making generalizations ALL night hun.

[Rxxf]

No matter what your RACE is...

You can like Taylor Swift-Nia Long-Angela-Leo-Elvis... and so forth.

BUT, Real... you've been trying to PLACE ME in a box, because I have interest that's not "normal" for ME because of RACE?

So let's not talk about generalizations, when you've been doing it to me.
