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
well this is true about black men, i just the Martin example may not be the best one. And when i day Pam was desired, i meant within the show, not random niggas opinions outside of it.

Pam was always single in the show really. I mean yea Jerome wanted her or whatever but Pam wasn't like fawned over on that show. There was definitely colorism all in play
This is my pass to say WHATEVER tf I wanna say about the mess she releases so I don't wanna hear SHIT! Baby mama is a mess of a song btw

Wasn't Gina's head or forehead always a joke

cant remember

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
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

well martin was the lead actor lol .. and it was OFTEN.. now whether he actually meant to do it cause she was dark is another story but yeahh this whole video is correct

RAY7

Pam and Tommy were a couple for a minute 
she got married to the Hispanic guy Luis
she dated Keith Sweat's character 
but yea NO ONE wanted Pam

RIGHT!!!!!!!!!  :plzstop:
Him calling her ugly was what the narrative was supposed to be.

RAY7

Gina's friend who Martin thought was into her actually ended up saying he was only around Gina to get to Pam
Martin accidentally married Pam
David Alan Grier the preacher wanted Pam even though they were cousin
Yep lonely Pam

Incidentally Tichina was the lead in Everybody Hates Chris
and Tisha was the "other one"
hmm
Yeah she was the lead, playing the role of a ghetto mom in the hood who loved yelling loudly, threatening her kids with violence and walking into the streets with a bonnet on her head to get groceries.

I mean if you ask Tichina directly she'll definitely tell you about how and why she was cast in certain roles.

But she didn't/doesn't take things personally. She simply took it as a business and found a way to work within the the confinements she was automatically given based on her appearance. That's why she's been so successful IMO. Didn't waste too much time whining about something that was/is completely out of her control.

You should watch this.


ALLL THIS!!!!!! She wasn't the lead and some desirable ass black woman. Like :dead:
I watched that uncensored btw and even to 'china knew what was up
This is my pass to say WHATEVER tf I wanna say about the mess she releases so I don't wanna hear SHIT! Baby mama is a mess of a song btw

I saw it
I wouldn't say she's never experienced colorism but with Martin and Tisha that's just not the case

Nick I can't believe even u get it  :dead:
Yea because Pam actually looked BETTER than Gina so her attractiveness should've never been in question.  Pam was not  some desired girl and the narrative the show painted was actually that she was UNDESIRABLE.

that comment was about Lavon saying Pam was always single
when that's a lie and she had MULTIPLE love interests
also that the only 1 out of all men on that show calling her ugly (and he didn't even use "ugly" often) is Martin
In general men found her attractive and desirable on the show
