Pam maybe was considered pretty in black households but Gina was considered pretty to executives and that's why she was the lead girl............kinda What this whole video was about. She wasn't making a video based on the opinions of raheem and tyrone :dead:
first of all Martin and Tisha actually knew each other prior to the show from Boomerang and House Party and Martin chose her THATS why she was the lead and Pam auditioned at the request of Tisha
But this girl didn't mention what households liked who she was talking about their depictions on the show and how Martin was always dogging her

Pam was viewed as very attractive to pretty much all guys besides Martin
and Gina was criticized for having a big head and no tits
I don't really see what the distinction really was tbh
!!!! People always try tf outta that

They were all teased and dragged on that show. that was the comedy

Even Martin began to have dreams that he wanted Pam sddd but she was desired by everyone
Everybody was made fun of but gina's attractiveness was never called into question. Let's not act like black men don't shit on the dark skinned black woman all the time.  That's why I will NEVER listen to kodak black. When I heard that dumb shit he said he was cancelled immediately
Gina's attractiveness definitely came into question when Martin was lusting over Kenya Moore (dark skinned) and saying he wished Gina was fine like her
Pam's attractiveness was seen on the show as just as high as Gina
Praise ha!!

:oof:

But Pam was often called ugly by Martin looking like a dog or being made fun of cause of her wigs and weaves.  It's a bit different imo ... I don't remember Gina ever being called ugly

They joked about her head (and even that was few and far between) but that doesn't mean they questioned her attractiveness. She's never been likened to dogs, horses, or any other animal.  Calling someone out about a "flaw" isn't calling them ugly.  Many people have called rihanna out for having a big forehead that's NOT calling her unattractive

that was ONLY Martin and they went back and forth she called him short, ugly, big ears etc
but still in a few episodes Martin lusted over her
She was not generally perceived as ugly or less attractive

Tichina did an interview a while back for BET I believe, and she knew herself why she always happened to be cast as the funny sidekick, or the loud and ghetto girl, etc. She seemed very aware, which probably helped her in sustaining a good career - by knowing which roles she'd be a shoe-in for and which roles not to even waste time auditioning for.

Martin definitely made a lot of cracks about Pam's appearance, usually comparing her to animals, and always made references to the "buckshots" or "beady beads" under her weave, as if Gina's hair was naturally relaxed or something.

There was definitely underlying colorism in Martin.
Of course there was and anyone with sense gets that :dead:

Incidentally Tichina was the lead in Everybody Hates Chris
and Tisha was the "other one"
hmm
