WHAT KIND OF F**KIN SHYT IS THAT. I DONT DISCRIMINATE ON LIGHT GIRLS AINT NOTHIN WRONG WITH THAT BUT DARK SKIN GIRLS ARE JUST AS GOOD LOOKING AS BRIGHT JUST BECAUSE UR BRIGHT DOESNT MAKE YOU ANY BETTER. THE MDEIA IS WHAT PORTRAYS THE BATTLE OF THE SKIN AND S**T LIKE THIS DONT MAKE IT ANY BETTER. PEOPLE ARE SO DIVIDED OVER STUPID S**T AND TO SAY NO DARK GIRLS APPLY IS JUST BS. PEOPLE NEED TO GET THIS S**T TOGETHER!!!!

Well Diddy aint light bright his damn self!!!

How typical of him…SMH

Damn, Diddy. That’s f**ked up. Kim Porter aint light and that’s his baby momma. What kind of message are you sending.

This cannot be serious, I cannot believe that in 2009 we are still color struck in the african american community. Diddy said that he will only accept light skinned african americans. When is the time going to come when african americans of all shades come together and let society know that we are all one and beautiful and you either accept all of us or none of us. No this fool who clearly forgot where he has come from is isolating us beautiful chocolate sisters. How is it possible to discriminate against someone who has the same complexion that he has this is truly sad and another reason why I am really not a Diddy fan!!!!!

Sounds like my kind of guy.

Diddy must of heard that myth that all dark skinned chicks have hairy buttholes.

so it’s safe to say he’s not interested in his ugly ass mother, huh?

man f**k Diddy his ass ugly neways, and he can’t rap with his whack ass

F**K DIDDY!!! HE THE LAST ONE TO TALK ABOUT DARK SKINNED PEOPLE WHEN HE DARK AS F**K!!! THIS IS WHY AFRICAN AMERICAN SOCIETY IS SO JACKED UP NOW!!!

AND TO I LIKE WHITE WOMEN YOU ARE WRONG FOR THAT COMMENT!!!

this is so stupid because he is dark skinned… oh well he has to answer to god for his ignorance not anyone else let’s see how he’ll get him self out of this one.

It’s just advertisement. He needs girls for an ad, he could be catering to a particular crowd. It’s the same reason we see black people on McDonald’s commercials in Atlanta. If you go to Omaha it’s going to be country redneck white folk on the commercial. It’s just smart advertising.

I guess he is on blast?

Diddy trying to find the closet thing to a white girl ( with ghetto attitude of course). I think that beauty comes in all different sizes, shapes and color. THe funniest thing is that his mother probally was a BEAUTIFUL DARK SKINNED BLACK WOMAN WHO HAS HE BLACK ASS. He needs to stop hating on he wonderful dark skinned sister.

well he’s dark skinned and his girl is too…so i don’t know what to say

Well, to be honestly truthful you can’t help who you are attracted to. I’m a darkskinned woman who is not at all offended by his choice in women, especially since we don’t know each other personally. You never know, a dark skinned woman may come along and change his whole aspect on the women he chooses to date. But its just him for now. Oh well….

See..Most boys have this mentality. I’m 14 and everyday i hear the opinion of boys. This is why so many young african american girls really do have self esteem issues. I was light skinned as a baby, but now I’m brown. Some mornings i wake up wishing i was light skinned like my sister. That isn’t right that people are portraying darker skin as ugly. Anyone who thinks this why isn’t worthy of me anyway.!!

I am at a lost for words about this subject, but if that’s the way he makes his money for advertising then so be it. I guess that’s the way things are in the advertising business.

he should keep it gangsta and say he don’t want no black chicks – i would have said only NON BLACK woman need to apply. LOL

his daughters are not light skin what type of example is he setting i hope this had nothing to do with him because his name is out there get it together that may just be his thing they say once you go black you always come back ask kim porter

its really not that serious. if u like women who are light skinned, that’s his business. as far the promotion goes, money talks, sex sells, and come on now when actually take a look at the women that are portrayed as today’s black woman, she is either really dark with short hair, or biracial with long nappy or curly hair. we dont look like that. but we all kno diddy is always got something outrageous going on.

Maybe they can’t afford light bulbs in the budget so dark chicks will just mess everything up? Did any of you consider that?

hey if it makes him happy im happy for him

Wow… Im sad.. lol.

I_like_white_women – yo that was comedy

P Diddy is gay anyways. I can give a two s**ts about him. That is a shame how black men put down their own women. Is that all we are, light skin and dark skin. I think that instead of black women settling for this bulls**t, we need to stick together and stand up for whats right, light skin or dark skin.

well…It’s always his choice, you can’t get mad at him…But I guarantee you..Diddy is the type that will get you famous for less than a year, then put you behind him. you’re left behind, then no one will hear about how famouse you are anymore…and people always fall for that stupid offer from him!

F**k Diddy. S**t the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice. He’s not as light as he thinks he is either. What is he tryna say, darker females wont promote as well as the light, white, and Hispanic b***hes? He got me f**ked up. He around here talkin about “no b***hassness”, that was some b***h ass s**t that he said.

I cant get mad at this little story….its just a small blip on whats going on all around us….my mom was dark-skinned and beautiful. I have always heard dark-skinned black women say light-brown women have it easier in black society..I always wanted to put that comment down, but…hey..the proof is in the pudding..can we say India Arie and Alicia Keys????

Shame on Diddy. I’m not dark-skinned but I was still offended. Both of my best friends are dark-skinned and beautiful women and I know this would hurt them as well.

White folks have always thrown a standard of beauty in our faces and it’s just sad that our own Black men have fallen for that standard as well. We have a lot of self-hating issues.

HUMM ii WAS LiiKE YYYEESSSS iiM iiN THERE!! :D BUT THEN HE SAiiD SiiZE SEVEN OR SMALLER DANG WHY iiT COULDNT BE SiiZE THiiRTEEN OR SMALLER!! :D && iiM LiiKE FiiVE EiiGHT AND A HALF FiiVE NiiNE!! :D ii GOT THE LiiPSz, THE TiiTSz EVERYTHiiNG HA HA HA HA :D HE NEEDA CHANGE THAT A LiiL BiiT!! :D BUHT EVEN THOUGH iiM LiiGHT SKiiNNED ii STiiLL BE FEELiiN OUT NUMBERED SOMETiiMESz.. :( PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY iiN MY FAMiiLY iiS BROWN OR DARK SKiiNNED…

All his ads have non-black women in them…even his cologne ads.

This fool needs to be horse wipped (something we say in the south of ya hang around old folks). To me this fool aint never had his head on straight anyway when it came to women. He might be on top of his game when it comes to making money. Now we can understand how we as black people will never have anything meaning he is discriminating against people of color (black people).
Also, think about this.. what DARK SKIN woman do they have on BET not.. one it’s the same thing on that network.. that is one reason i don’t even watch it.. I’m sure they can find an educated dark skin woman to host a show

P Diddy is a joke. He is a lame. He is supposed to be trying to make a difference. These black industry motherf**kers claim once they get on top they will change the game but they never do. How the f**k you a top dog and you so call make people famous, but you can’t even stand up for black women. Dark skin women are beautiful, most niggas only see complexion. A light skin girl even said that, niggas would pass up a pretty ass dark skin girl to talk to a light skin girl who not even attractive, WTF!! I am getting sick of all these lame ass rappers, and I hope Diddy sees this. You is a b***h ass nigga, and you are all about the B***HASSNESS AND THE HOEASSNESS!! You should be ashame to call yourself black, its one thing to have a prefernce, but its another to put that s**t out there in a disrespectful way. Look at Yung Bird, career gone down the drain. I really think BET or MTV need to step up and say something, this light skin vs dark skin s**t is getting so out of hand that its crossing over into the music world. Well, it always been there, but more people are saying s**t out in the open like its okay.

well, the only real reason this is a problem, is b/c we as a society focus on color way to much. I mean diddy is brown skin, so what is the difference, and so is his momma. So to not want dark skinned is a reflection on himself, and the issues he has going on inside. I mean I really don’t see where it matters, black is beautiful no matter what shade, or hue. Anyone who feels any different most have a problem themselves. oh well.

Oh well i DONT BLAME HIM BLACK DARK SKIN WOMAN LOOK HORRIBLE AND UGLY, THEY LOOK LIKE BURNT TOAST. BLACK WOMAN PUT BAD NAMES OUT THERE FOR THEMSELVES.

Race: White, hispanic or light skinned african american…WTF? Naw this cant be real, i’m cool with diddy but he didnt just pull a “yung berg” on the dark skinned ladies. If he did boycott Ciroc until he makes a formal apology. I’m getting my Al Sharpton on right now.

http://www.candysto.com

Well, to each his or her own. $35 an hour is CHEAP AS HELL! LMAO!!! Anywho… Maybe he just doesn’t find dark skinned black women attactive WHICH IS OKAY! I don’t find his asss attractive EITHER.

How about all of those dark skinned women who think they’re light skinned??? (giggles)

Hey, Diddy… Do us all a favor and KEEP THE SHADES ON!

Well…..I can’t hate. This is nothing new. I’m Chocolate and being this way is beautiful to me. But in this society, light-skinned is almost always preferred.

I don’t think Diddy is partial though, he just knows how to market. Exotic skin tones, long hair, pretty eyes, etc. is more marketable sometimes. So…make your money Diddy. It’s no sweat off my brow, because I understand this twisted image of beauty that the US of A has.

Diddy is cool though. He has 3 kids for Kim Porter and she is a darky. So i think it’s just business, nothing personal about his preferences.

thats low of him considering his twin daughters are darker skinned children. thats like telling them you can’t be beautiful if you’re not light skinned. thats a horrible message. men are interesting creatures

Lol. And, whats the problem, he’s looking for a type, it’s a shoot. Its not like he’s bout to make them famous, they’re going to be the face of sex. Light skinned men and women look better, so hopefully he’ll follow suit and cast some light skin or Latino men to partner them. :)

talk about b***hassness…looks like somebody been dipping into his inner b***hassness

Who cares about what Diddy thinks anyway, he looks like a ant eater and he has all the money and still hasn’t fixed his teeth to be able to close his mouth all the way.

So all light skinned people are beautiful? Some people have SERIOUS issues!!! LMAO!!!! I see UGLY PEOPLE IN ALL COLORS SHAPES AND SIZES!

(narrow minded fools up in here)

wow……willie lynch slave mentality is still alive in 2009..@..ms goddess n others who still believe in this nonsence…how f**kin pitiful.

P.DIDDY IS A P***Y! B4 HE BECAME WHO HE IS NOW,HE WAS STEPPIN OUT WITH ALL SHADES OF BROWN.NOW THAT HE HAS THE FAME AND THE FORTUNE HE HAS A CERTAIN STANDARD. I JUST THINK THAT WAS THE MOST IGNORANT REQUIREMENT TO HAVE,I CAN UNDERSTAND THE PREFERENCE IN SIZE,EVEN THOUGH THATS UNFAIR ALSO,BUT HEY,IT IS WHAT IT IS,IN THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD.

LMAO I don’t fit any of his criteria except the height. It is slightly offensive especially since its not a play or movie with an actual complexion requirement for the story line. Its kinda funny though and people are right its a preference. If someone was asking for dark skinned girls would people be this outraged? Prolly not.

_chiick….

PDiddy isn’t going to cast LIGHT SKINNED MEN OR HISPANIC MEN! Are you NUTS? You obviously don’t understand the ways of show biz in the hip hop community…

Big strong chocolate man with sexy asss light skinned woman. It’s cool with me and all but why down the other women out there in the process and say “we don’t want your kind.” Maybe he isn’t saying that but it sure as heck sounds like it.

I’m through! LMAO!

First and foremost, everyone have their own prefernce, on who the like to date and I respect that. But I presenting this they way it was said, is rude and disrespectful, I guess he won’t have many dark skinned women supporting him any more in anything that he do. I agree with Honeylover2009, it’s the media that’s trying to make light skin women more than what they are, and then Caucasian more than what they are… If dark women is degraded as media and some trying to make it,. then why do you have so many Caucasian women tanning to become a darker color, then they go through skin cancer to try to become a “darker” color. I have so many Caucasian males, that adores darker women… but then you have African American Male that degrade African American Female, ok but where did you come from? I’m so sick of people of all race dealing with the COLOR of SKIN! I was read the article to the left and although he dated Caucasian or Latino or whoever…but who did he have his kids from a dark skinned girl. Its just conspirce of media and by our race. I love being dark skinned thick sister. Regardless of what media and other make say… Dark skin Sisters continue to hold your head high and your are VERY BEAUTIFUL!!! You have some many light skinned females that have the stink altitude, and the gold digger, but I feel like these females are so jealous of the dark skinned women ( we are so strong, and the most determined to get what we want and need, not saying that some light skin females are not but you have some bougie light skin females), then you have some light skinned females that will not settle for guy to step to them just for the color of their skin. Some of the Black Man in society are just like the media… But just be who you are and respect who your are Always remember your created this way for a reason…
Why Did You Make Me Black Lord ….

Lord …. Why did you make me black?
Why did you make someone
the world would hold back?

Black is the color of dirty clothes,
of grimy hands and feet…
Black is the color of darkness,
of tired beaten streets…

Why did you give me thick lips,
a broad nose and kinky hair?
Why did you create someone

who receives the hated stare

Black is the color of the bruised eye
when someone gets hurt…
Black is the color of darkness,
black is the color of dirt.

Why is my bone structure so thick,
my hips and cheeks so high?
Why are my eyes brown,
and not the color of the sky?

Why do people think I’m useless?
How come I feel so used?
Why do people see my skin
and think I should be abused?

Lord, I just don’t understand…
What is it about my skin?
Why is it some people want to hate me
and not know the person within?

Black is what people are “Labeled”
when others want to keep them away…
Black is the color of shadows cast…
Black is the end of the day.

Lord you know my own people mistreat me,
and you know this just ain’t right…
They don’t like my hair, they don’t like my
skin, as they say I’m too dark or too light!

Lord, don’t you think
it’s time to make a change?
Why don’t you redo creation
and make everyone the same?

GOD’s Reply:

Why did I make you black?

Why did I make you black?

I made you in the color of coal
from which beautiful diamonds are formed…
I made you in the color of oil,
the black gold which keeps people warm.

Your color is the same as the rich dark soil
that grows the food you need…
Your color is the same as the black stallion and
panther, Oh what majestic creatures indeed!

All colors of the heavenly rainbow
can be found throughout every nation…
When all these colors are blended,
you become my greatest creation!

Your hair is the texture of lamb’s wool,
such a beautiful creature is he…
I am the shepherd who watches them,
I will ALWAYS watch over thee!

You are the color of the midnight sky,
I put star glitter in your eyes…
There’s a beautiful smile hidden behind your pain…
That’s why your cheeks are so high!

You are the color of dark clouds
from the hurricanes I create in September…
I made your lips so full and thick,
so when you kiss…they will remember!

Your stature is strong,
your bone structure thick to withstand the
burden of time…
The reflection you see in the mirror,
that image that looks back,..that is MINE!

So get off your knees,
look in the mirror and tell me what you see?
I didn’t make you in the image of darkness…
I made you in the image of ME!

im so suprised in his decision on not allowing dark skin women apply, when his moter is dark skin. im a dark skin women and love it. i get alot of attention. so diddy need to stop.

dark skinned women should be glad because look at the time of the schedule:(Time: 3:00pm – 7:00pm and 12:00am – 3:00am)

Those are mistress and hooker hours.So he just wants some s**ts.

LOllllllll@this. That’s all i have to say….

LOL F**K Darkskinned woman oh weelll i dont blame diddy! go diddy! u know what u want . burnt toast ?nah too burnt for me oh well lol i think its funny who cares black woman put bad names out there for themselved

Diddy is a hoe for that!
How could you not let dark women tryout for the ad? Guess we have racism within our own race! Thats weak

ummm some of yall (msgoddess2
) say the dumbest things.. education is fundamental

I feel as though any WOMEN of COLOR whether u r dark as cold or light as sand is BEAUTIFUL bt for “Diddy” to say that he only wants Light skin, White or Latino women that an insult, bcuz his mother is not BEIGE @ ALL, nor is KIM. OH well his and CIROC lost…… They r missin out on so many BEAUTIFUL WOMEN………….;-9

Diddy dont care about what anyone thinks- hes all about selling a certain image and apparently the image he wants sells. I say if anyone is truly bothered by this they should not buy his merchandise hit em in the wallet- i dont buy anything of his anyway so it dont matter to me. Either way I dont know if its his dating preference or not but to me this is a “two peas in a bucket _ -it”….situation

P.diddy is a muthafckin joke he ignorant as hell and dets onmy goddamn nerves how the fck u gon say no dark skinned females when we the ones makin ya ass rich u sorry son of a b***h p. diddy gets no love from me, he did one of yung berg’s numbers he done fcked up now, anyway me bein a dark skinned female i love it s**t niggas aint got a problem wit it and neither do i s**t…. see imma mixed breed im white, puerto rican, trinadadian, west indian so if i went and told all of that to diddy u think he would care hell no cuz all he will be lookin at is skiin tone 4real 4real and some of these comments i read some of ya’ll juss as bad as him sayin dark skinned girls look ugly and dirty please i bet we could have ya man in a heart beat s**t dont sleep on us…… Ch0c0late does tha soul juss right honey get it together

Lollll@msgodess. To be one of the “oh so blessed” light skinned chicks you seem to think is better, you seem pretty angry at something. What’s got you mad, so mad, honey, your ex marry a dark skinned chick? Don’t be so angry, maybe thats why he left honey, no one wants to spend life w/a negative person

Sad to say-I love Diddy.I respect whatever he says.In his defense, he has babies by a brown-skinned woman-who looks better than all these girls put together. Cassie looks Okay, the rest-whatever they were probably just friends.He’s a grown a*& man.
Atleast he doesn’t jus dis SISTERS , completely all together in (dating).That means ur pretty much denying yourself as a man of color.I think he’s jus trying to find himself in the dating world.For all we know he aint even responsible for those criteria and if he is so what. Continued and much respect to you Diddy. I love you and everything you do.

Mwah!!You’re a great person and business man!

this is a disgrace to the black community especially the community of black women. for him to put white women over a dark skinned black women is sad. He has a lot of nerve he’s BLACK and his mother is BLACK and his daddy is BLACK. It’s sad that this type of RACISM exists in OUR community!! I feel ashamed that a black mogul would openly and publicly discriminate on his on race.

f**k dark skinned woman f**k dark skinned woman diddy dont want burnt toast

I KNOW THAT’S RIGHT (BROKE_AS_AJOKE) HOW CAN A WOMAN OF COLOR GIVE PRAISE TO SOMETHING THAT STUPID…. DID HE NOT COME FROM A DARK SKINNED WOMAN (HIS MOTHER) hhhhhhhmmmmmm

I DONT THINK HE’S TRYING TO BE FUNNY THATS PROBABLY WHAT THEY WANTED FOR THAT PARTICULAR CASTING, DIDDY’S WIFE IS DARKED SKINNED SO OF COUSE HE LIKES DARK SKINNED WOMEN ALSO

how can you respect a man who disrespects his race. and if he didnt like it he would have VOICED HIS OPINON!

Ignorance and self hatred goes a long way in the development of one’s personality. Sean Combs obviously has some self hatred about his looks and how he perceives beauty but I don’t expect anything different from the Modern Day Barry Gordy “dont sign with that dude you sign all your rights away….no royalites…..and check with slow up (see what happened to Day 26) How much money does one person need all to themselves….Remember Bad Boy would not have buss if Craig Mack did not put them official on the map then there was the greatest of all time BIG …MARY and then Total and then Black ROB, and then Carl Thomas…ohhhh GEE DEEP see where I am going this none of these people made it to a 3 album with Bad Boy….like I said Ignorance Greed and Self preservation….

I love being dark skin, i feel like he will just miss out on a lot of beautiful women with his black ass lol.

i love light skinned woman mmmm. black woman ewwwww black burnt toast f**k nooooooooo!!!! N****R HOES SHOULD STAY IN PLACE AND PICK COTTON

this nigga here but if thats what he likes then go for it but i think dark skinned women are sexy!! holla at your boi

Wow…he has lost cool points with me!

as everyone stated this is all preferences. the part I find interesting is that people tend to be rubbed the wrong way with other people preferences yet their own personal preferences should never be up for debate. let be honest. how many times have you seen or heard of a dude preferring a woman of a certain size, height, or skin shade? Its nothing new and since it is his casting call he got the right to work with whoever he wants. I know alot of women that claim that they will only give the time of day to a man of a certain skin tone, height, body build, hair style, “swagger” and what not. It is their preferences as well and trust me they will let men that dont fit those criterias know it is “their” preference. Whether its a man or woman, if you give an individual the right to cast their “eyecandy” they will always pick whats sexy to them.

The only thing diddy did was say it out loud for the whole world to see instead of keeping his preferences a secret. I guess no matter what people say, total honesty is not as much of a turn-on or good quality as men and women claim they would like in a “mate”

EWWW msgoddess2, ho on deck. Jump overboard if you don’t want an STD!!

mj1869,
I agree with you. I IS his preference and I for one date men of MANY different backgrounds. From the beautiful dark brothers to white men as well. It’s all good to me. But this isn’t DATING. This is a promotional AD. Basically he is looking for ‘beauty’ and he doesn’t think he can find it in darker skinned women. SMH. Idunno…

msgoddess2 man f**k a nigga ho get ya s**t together he might like light skinn but hoes anit part of the requirements to jump off don;t know what ya gettin yaself into anny way are you even of the afican american race? fall da hell back

Word? i’m like wat? dis comb of a guy az gone nutz! gosh, he is dark skinned and i’m sure he wont change it and Go MICKO wit iz money!!!!!!

I’m sorry but I can never take someone seriously who has multiple stupid names like Diddy, Puffy, P Diddy, Sean Puffy Combs or whatever else he calls himself..

As a dark skin woman I say we are beautiful. Some of these comments are just ignorant, mostly referring to (msgoddess2). You will get now where in life with those views, just a dumb ass.

It is amazing that they can put a color and size (size seven or smaller? wow!) on marketability. They are trying to achieve some sort of image that isn’t conducive to American culture. The average woman is not smaller than a size seven and the average person does not buy products based on the shade of somebody’s skin color who is promoting it. This is just silly.

Lot of haters. I don’t like the guy too much and don’t care for the music. But in the acting world, which I’m a part of, specifics are the norm. And in this case it’s White, Hispanic, light skinned women then that’s that. It can also be protest against age but then that’s a specific request most of the time too. So people, if you’re not in the business, keep your judgments to yourself. What’s worse is how the writer of this article typed this up to provoke controversy. Idiot!

Its ok to like certain types of skin color, I’m not mad a diddy but some of the comments people are leaving are really sad, it is a shame that some African American women think being dark or light is a negative, and women like that I feel sorry for because they have so much self hatred. It really does not matter at all.

diddy you dont want dark skinned females because you wont be seen inthe mix cause you so blk yourself you ape lookin diddy kong you must dont like who gave you birth plus dark skinned chicks has a little more class than the colors youre lookin for cause they are nasty and will do anything for a buck sellin their soul for a jelly roll are you sure you aint king kong son

Lol, so all the dark skinned chicks should just accept the double standard, and don’t expect to get any where in show business huh?

for me it’s not even about the choice of white latin light dark, but the problem with society is that they define beauty as define by the casting call ya dig. And all this shows that ignorance still reigns supreme, tell me an alcoholic is going to be sooooooooo sober to disearn between while consuming CIROC….this is marketing like first graders ..there target audience are people that like to get liquor up I don’t think these are people that’s looking at beauty but only the beauty of the bottle and the taste of liquor…not the beauty of models ………Ciroc Halla at me and fire the marketing department they need to go back to basics and study what the 4 P’s in marketing MEANS.

NOW IT”S TIME 4 MY ASS 2 SPEAK ON THIS VERY LITTLE ISSUE THAT SEEMS 2 B STIRRING UP SUCH A RUCKUS…1ST AND 4MOST LET BEGIN MY VENTING PROCCESS BY LETTING THE WHOLE DAM WORLD KNOW THAT BLACK IS …MOTHAF***KN BEAUTIFUL…LOOK @ ME 4 INSTANCE…IM DARK -SKINNED IF U WILL,,,,N I F****N LOVE EVERY BIT OF IT…MOST PPL I COME ACROSS ALWAYS COMPLIMENT ME ON MY COMPLEXION..LOOKS..ETC..ETC.SO WITH THAT SAID….

All my dark sista’s I should have led off with… I LOVE YA’LL!

i see we have igronace among us… it’s not the fact that I’m jealous over a light skinned woman to Caucausian for that matter. We need to learn to stop using the content of of skin, a sore thumb to these issues as this. there are some beautiful light skinned women that are not like the 1 young lady i see on here, but however don’t disrespect others to uplift someone else, or another color or shade.. we should all respect each other!

Luv u 2 Stan_Vinyl

That really pisses me off!!! His son is darkskinned, he’s darkskinned, Kim Porter is darkskinned he is only perpetuating colorism against blacks. I used to like Diddy but he seems as shallow as they come. Black is beautiful regardless of shade or hue. His daughters are cute as a button, but there darker than a paper bag, is he saying that his daughters aren’t attractive? That they couldn’t be in his videos because they are too dark?

puffy need to sit his ass down. i know everyone has a preference but this is pathetic.. he is weird..he also says he REFUSES to date a woman if her second toe is longer than her big toe!!!
stfu and go ruin someone elses career lol

F**k Darkskin people.. EVERYBODY know lightskin people look better anyway… plain n simple!

From the days of old man (visionaries) wanted to bann television. Why? Because they foresaw this mess. The media run peoples lives. This is a prejudice world (nothing changed). He is on a pedistal and for the money of course he’s going to agree to terms thrown at him (he is a business man). That message is undermining. I dont have a problem with him (Puffy). I like tall guys, because I’m tall-some call it immature, but I call it preference. Perfect example of media influence-my little daughter (a 5yr old) new to this world in a sense, “Told me she wanted to look like the white, long haired princess depicted in majority of the cartoons, kids television programs.” My response to her was beauty come in all shades, and I told her she’s beautiful.” It’s not diddy,it’s media. New way of slavery, deception,manipulation, attempt to keep a talented people oppressed, not feeling worthy, segrated, a mind-control methodology. Diddy has fans of all colors, and creeds. Going public with this, was it wise, “maybe not.” Did he lose some fans, “possibly.” Will some die hard fan attempt to commit sucide because Diddy doesn’t like the darker shades, I pray not, but reality of it is “there is a chance.” In conclusion, it’s deeper than a person. There some folk that sit higher than our icons who are controlling things. We seem to be shining but we are being played for sure, and they sit back and call us stupid. Talent comes in many shades, heck there are some amazing folk missing limbs and stuff that can perform just as well as fully functional person. No disrespect to anyone on this blog, hey all people see things differently, i’m sure that makes the world continue to evolve. Anyway, holla back

Well look at the BRIGHT side at least Darkskinned women arent beind depicted as groupies for a change

SMH, his mother is DARK SKINNED !! im light skinned, and i hate people who think im better than a dark skinned girl..diddy is an a*****e ! if i was one of them light skinned girls, i wouldnt even show up..he needs to take his head outta his ass asap..this is a problem among our community..

Darkskin = UGLY

I totally understand this marketing scheme; however, I am not offended at all. I keep my man on a Chocolate High, lol!!! As we all know, Diddy is all about dat money so hes catering to wat he thinks will bring in da BIG BUCKS and I cant hate on that, but it is a shame that hes not concerned about helping his own (dark skinned females) out but its all cool!!!! I guess when they said “BLACK IS BACK,” they were not referring to us females; however, Diddy wouldnt be on my top list anyway!! Give me Jamie Foxx anyday!!!

seems like we should expect this from a man that once called himself “Puffy” or “Puff Daddy”….come on yall!!! LOL…what is a “P-Ditty” anyway?

And for Mr Nasty-Ian-69, be careful in the words u choose son. Its coming back to u!!! Power of life and death is in your tongue. Dont be so foolish!!!

His kids mother is dark skinned right? So if she wanted to be in the background would he tell her no also?

who the f**k do this nucca think he is . This harlem f****t brokeback mountain backdoor azz got nerve. Let me get this straight this nucca who came in the game with the marked up chicken pox mark face crooked teeth got nerve this nucca face was torn up until started f**king with make up nucca need to be the next spoke woman for MAC make up. And besides all that isn’t this nucca mother a drak skinned gorilla. I mean with a mother who looks like a 60 year old lil kim mixed with dontella looking like a 1960′s harlem hoe left over in the lenox lounge. this nucca got nerve. this is trhe type of nucca you spit on when you see him for allowing this mess notice to puff “GET YOU MOTHER A MAKE OVER TEAM QUICK FAST AND A HURRY”

it’s a preference, personally i dont blame him. it shouldn’t bother anyone what another person’s personal preferences are. as long u are happy with urself in ur own life that should satisfy u enuff so s**t like diddy’s big tooth ass not wanting dark women wont seem so wrong. it’s really NOT a big deal at all.

he just mad beacuse black beauties won’t give his ugly ass a chance. F**k Puff, p. diddy, whatever he calls himself these days. has he looked in the mirror lately………he’s not light himself…punk b***h!@!! do your dance puffy!!!!!! can’t stop, won’t stop.

Thats insane how can this dark brother even attempt to make that public as much as we go thru he wants to segragate his own people ill nevr support this dude how dare he? Bringing down his own people

it seems like nasty-ian-96 has a complex problem and feels insecure about his skin.

Guess it’s time to resurrect the old adage:
If you’re white, you’re alright. If you’re brown stick around. If you’re Black, get back!

Bein DARKSKIN is a CURSE…. im GLAD I came out RIGHT……LIGHT!!!

THIS IS BULLSH*T! I’m tired of seeing things like this happen… Absolutely ridiculous.

THATS SAD I NOT HATING IF U PERFER LIGHT BUT WE DARKSKIN WOMEN ARE ALWAYS LAST CONSIDER UGLY NOT BEAUTIFUL ITS WRONG ITS A CHANGE WE NEED WE ALL R BEAUTIFUL I HAD 2 DEAL WITH THAT YOUNGER YOUR 4 A DARKSKIN GIRL ITS HORRIBLE I LUV ALL SHADES

f**k diddy wit his ugly ass……dark is beautiful

gotta give diddy and this little promo team their props for being so bold and out there with it like that..

they put it out there, now it’s up to the public to respond.

I am not defemding diddy if he is being prejudice,but you should leave his mother out of this she has nothing to do with this now you are showing your ignorance!!! However we all have a preference,some men like petite women,some like big woman,some like them thick.We have to remember freedom of choice it may be that for tis particular promotion he needs lighter women.But if he is asking for dark skin women not to apply for negative reasons then he will have to answer for that.

Being Darkskin is our heritage. Which was stolen, once we became slaves. And slave master’s took a liking to that same darkskin. Learn your history. And, only then will you know who you are and where you originally came from.

IONO NASTY..u talkn alot of shyt bruh, UGLY PPL SEEM TO HAVE LOTS OF CONFIDENCE TOO, BUT I GUESS IF U DONT THINK IT WHOELSE WILL?? CUZ I JUST DONT C IT, U SAYIN LIGHT PPL LOOK BETTER..R U SPEAKIN FOR YOURSELF TOO?? HMMM

How dare his ugly dark skinned ass as he right to do that! Im pissed! I’ve never liked him. I never supported anything he did or does. He is the most ignorant person in the business. It’s people like him is the reason why dark skinned women have complexes. Asshole!

YUP THE SLAVE MASTERS LIKIN IT..HOW THAT LIGHT SKIN STARTED HAHA NAAAH IMA STOP THAT WAS BS ON MY PART

if its no dark skinned aloud y in the f**k is his ugly black ass in the s**t thats a f**kin disgrace to black people for HIM to do and say that bulls**t

he have the right to ask for what ever type of woman he wants. im about to do casting call for brazilian panamania puerto rican and white chick only my damn self, lol

To my chocolate sisters dont take offense to this.I personally have seen some pretty darkskin sisters who skin is just flawless.If you are comfortable in your skin why worry about it.I would not take it personal it will fly over and fade into the wind just like all other issues.

man o man will this ever stop? diddy the one with the problem so don’t hate the women he choses hate him and it’s sad how we still have these colorline and ppl like him with stauts should blur those lines and stop highlighting them…this is why we will stay divided as long as this sish keeps going on…all I GOT 2 SAY IN BLACK PPL OF ALL SHADES UNITE LETS ALL GET DOWN-WE HAVE WHAT? LOVE,PEACE AND UNDERSTANDING!

nasty is funny he has an identity complex. he must dont like his skin thats why he’s lashing out. to make hiself look better.

fuk diddy tha nigha iz ugly n e way and dark pucci will always b bettr den a white b!tch

how can diddy be so picky… i mean he got money but that don’t mean s**t. i have a family of mixed colors and we are all beautiful. not only that but diddy must not realize that not only is dark gorgeuosbut “big” is in. Who wants a size 7 girl shaking her ass.. all you see is damn bones… imma size 16/18 now let see that s**t shake….

This just show the ignorance of this male. It is not much of a surprise though based on what he has done in the past to show how much of a fool he is. Males, say something of substance when leaving a comment. Many times someone can tell without seeing your picture first if you are a male because many of you leave comments that makes people wonder if you are grown or a child. Do better, be better. To God Be The Glory.

GD!!! Let the man pick who he wants. Its a CASTING CALL and its DIDDY’s

For those that justify this garbage, you have some serious issues. We’ve come to far as a people to continue to discriminate each other based on our different shades. What are we teaching our daughters, you are light enough to be accepted. We back to house ni**a and field ni**a. I am black as hell and know I am beautiful. But did not always feel this way. This is really hurtful to women of darker color. Not to mention Diddy momma aint that light. So what is he saying about mom. Once again committing genocide of our skin. Get with someone lighter to erase your darker skin so that you don’t have dark babies with nappy hair. I despise what this man stands for and he will pay in the long run. He has daughter that he need to teach to have pride in themselves as black women. And love themselves from every aspect.

i have never liked Diddy anyway. he is so arrogant……

love yourself no matter what color or complexion your are. Diddy isn’t happy with him self so that’s y he is always saying stupid “S**T”. He comes from a dark skinned mother so he doesn’t care 4 his own mother dont be such an ASS even when your making money. Cause at the end of the day his DUM ASS is still dark skin so maybe he needs 2 deal with his own issues about being dark skin. He just mad cause he cant control a dark skin Woman cause she’s always in control!!!! Didddy needs JESUS pray for him!!!

Man, he can’t be serious! Really, Diddy?? That f**ked up. I would expect this from a white person but Diddy. Oh well, I never supported that cat anyway.

this is why we should not date black men they are a waste of time im sorry

All Sisters are beautiful we are so color struck as A people my father said this once ” if you are lighter shade or darker shade u still black and the Police will beat u the same” go figure

i cant believe his black as day ass is not trying to help out his own kind. he think he is the s**t not knowing that he is just like any other ordinary mother f*er in this world. Its a shame how nowadays even black folk can be racist towards there own kind…

it’s sad that what you consider your self..and hoe… WOW!!!!!

No need to be mad that I’m not light skin I love my color..and glad I’m not in your bracet of being a light skin hoe… hmmm smh soooo SAD!!!
see your remark below.

Nasty-Ian-69
Puffy likes lightskin hoes… whats the prollem lmao.. its alot of UGLY darskin people whos mad in here HAHAHAHAH…. u lose!!!!!

To those who take pride in being light-skinned (something you had no control over). It is the pride of the lightskinned house slave. Yes. The one whose mother was raped by the slave master and who snitched on the field slaves when they tried to run away. It is the same slave mentality that caused them to not recognize that house slavery and field slaver is still slavery.
It is the same mentality that that causes them to fail to recognize that whether light-skinned or dark skinned to society you’re still black. So just as the light-skinned house slave helped keep us down, today the dark skinned house slavei.e dark skinned blacks in a position to help other blacks but won’t, and light skinned blacks are doing the same thing.

And so the ugly cycle continues.

lmfao— well, the man is rich.. he can say,demand, or do all the foolishness he wants. But is everyone surpirse that this is coming from him, because i’m not. I have some respect for him as a business man, you have to give credit where credit is due. But years ago, I lost ALL ACTUAL RESPECT FOR HIM as an individual for many other reasons .. and this just added to the list. WE ALL KNOW, however, he dont give two f**k about what we think lol… the only way to get to people like him, is to hit him where he cares ***IN HIS POCKETS***. Just dont buy or order the drink. If sell decrease, he MIGHT stop to think why the black community it not helping to make him richer. In my opinion, that drink is not even good.. but that’s me. :-)

DIDDY IS FULL OF $HIT WITH HIS UGLY @$$!!!THAT’S JUST A FORM OF RACISM & IGNORANCE ON HIS PART! ALL OF MY SISTRA ARE BEAUTIFUL & UNIQUE IN THEIR OWN WAY NO MATTER WHAT SHADE/COLOR…LIKE GIRLFRIEND SAID THERE WE GO WITH THAT HOUSE N***@/FIELD N***@ $HIT…D@MN WHAT WAS ALL THE STRUGGLE 4 IF WE’RE GONNA JUST REPEAT HISTORY!!!

Wooooow some of you all are taking this thing waaaay out of context!!!
ITS A CASTING CALL!!!
If someone is working on a creative vision for a product that only requires women of a fair complexion how does that equal Diddy hating his momma and him self?
Again…Wooooow!!!

Its like shooting a movie and only wanting a yellow corvette in a scene as opposed to a darker car FOR WHATEVER REASON. Its not thaaat deep people.
The other thing is that Diddy may not have anything to do with the creative DIRECTION in the first place. geeeze….

We need to do a free mirror give-a-way or something with the words “What the f*ck is YOUR problem?” printed on them.

Wrote a song bout it wanna hear it? here it go…Diddy..Diddy shole is black! blacker dan dah greece on dah railroad track! So if dah hell he black what he got against dark sistas? Poe baby dem red bones only make you look blacker. SMDH.. I’m black and lovin it on a daily…
Come on home OJ opps I mean Diddy..lol
~Jette~

btw- i’m not disappointed in him because of his preference, everyone have their own preferences and he is entitle to his. I’m disappoint in him because he has re-invented/re-built that wall again is such way that impact those in need of EMPLOYMENT. Especially in a time like this. People like him really make it hard to support black own business sometimes. SMH. Damn Diddy, everytime I try to find a reason to back you again,, you fail me lol… damn shame. smh

For years Dark-skinned brothers were out out of style; so much that many of us went outside of our race… And now a brother who’s dark skinned wants what he wants suddenly he’s a racist or ugly? All of those things he may be but it sound like there are some angry coco puffs out there… Now his “music” sucks suddenly he can’t put together a band; everyone seems to forget what he has done. Like how he put Biggie on found and put New Edition together and Mary J; haters are we and how soon we forget. I hate to say it but hi “yella” damn near white if not white is the in!!! Look at our bi-racial president…Get a grip this is 2000 if you aren’t referred to as nigga everyday why do you care???

Diddy is not the only who shun black women with a darker shade of black. Every day you hear brothers saying they don’t date dark skin sisters and sisters saying they don’t date dark skin brothers. That is nothing but self hatred and a clear display of ignorance coupled with mental slavery. Sadly, even though our president is some what black, black people are still faced with racism from white people; regardless if you are light skin black or dark skin black. Racism will be forever be in existence, because we even display it among ourselves. You have dark skin bothers who would go and date an obese, ugly, light skin or white girl before he dates a beautiful dark skin sister, and, you have the sisters who would prefer to date the lighter skin, or, white men over a dark skin brother, even when the lighter skin or white men treat them in the most disrespectful manner. This thing about light skin versu dark skin must stop. Regardless of your skin tone, once you are black you are black and racist white people do not see the difference. Why are we using this level of ignorance among ourselves?

Who the hell cares. Punk Diddy is not affecting my day to day life. It’s not like I buy his music and go to his concerts. His casting call is not the only job in America. Geesh.

Sometimes its just the casting specs and what the advertiser wants. I have seen dark skinned women in a lot of his productions. Dont judge so harshly without having the facts..as a matter of fact shouldnt be judging anyone anyway!!

That nigga has been lame his whole life, think back to to the father MC video(str8 clown) Biggie gave him a lil name and that sucker wouldn’t be 0 if not for that. Everything he touches turns to s**t every artist, group, TV show. Now he’s sayin this stupid s**t like no dark women. Fool thats where the root of all beauty began. Your mom has to be black as hell look at you, what would she think?

YEA…THAT WAS RANDOM DIDDY…SO NOW U DONT LIKE DARK SKINNED GIRLS ALL OF A SUDDEN…GIVE ME A BREAK…ITS NOT LIKE U REALLY HAVE A CHOICE BECAUSE U AINT HOT NEVER WAS…U WACK AS HELL….IT JUST SHOWS HOW IGNORANT U ARE ….THAT EVEN IN THIS DAY AND AGE U WOULD SAY SOME DUMB S**T LIKE THAT…..WHY DONT U RETIRE DAMN….IM OUTIE 5000!!!

I could really careless less because what diddy doesnt want another person does its just how he wants it to appear to the public if you are comfortable with yourself and who you are things like this wouldnt affect you

Ok- INCONNU357
I understand your take on it, but you know in all honesty its not that innocent of him. No one will really HATE their MOTHER because of her shade, so you are going over with that comparison lol lol and you know it. Like I mentioned, I’m not disappointed in him because he has that preference. HECK I have the opposite preference. But it I had a job opening, ESPCIALLY Now while many are in need of a job I would not narrow the opening to only satisfy my personal preference and need for eye candy. If he is looking for beatiful women to have a speacial affect or whatever, he can find them in all shades… I personally wouldnt apply. But hey, ONCE again, that’s me :-D

gerdaduroska10 has it right. Don’t buy the damn drink.
To say it’s just a CASTING CALL is oversimplying it and ignoring the fact that this is a natinally advertised product, but it is apparently targeting one demographic as if only lightskinned people drink vodka. Diddy had better be careful. Look what happened to Tommy Hilfiger and that was just a nasty rumor.

Many of the Sisters’ comments on here reflect more of what they think of themselves than what they are actually saying about Diddy. They are taking it personal and saying a alot of Craaaazy s**t. No one is even mentioning the fact that he asked for a SIZE 7 OR LESS (alot of mad sisters X’d out right there) and 5’6″ or taller.
Does that make Diddy a Heightist or a Weightist? Does that make him hate his momma’s height or weight? Muhfukkahs have went all the way back to slavery on a casting call….OPEN YOUR EYES!!! MOST OF THE POSTS ON HERE SOUND REAL DAMN CRAAAAAZY!!!! STEP BACK A LITTLE, BREATHE, AND SING WE SHALLL OVERCOME OR SOME S**T.

I have never posted on here before but I had to post on this one. I was reading some of the comments and I have to say most are CRAZY! The only thing that I want to say is I do not care who Diddy wants, but when people starting saying things like how he put New Edition together I had to laugh. You must be a youngster but New Edition was big when I was a little kid WAYYYY before Diddy and Mary J. was singing in people videos way bad with Father MC. I am disappointed with his casting call but hey he is paying for it and I do not have to buy Ciroc vodka or put a penny in his pocket. It is just so funny to still see how people are judged based on color. And for the man who talked about light damn near white being in and the president, also look at who he married. A CHOCOLATE STRONG BEAUTIFUL WOMAN!!!

A man has right to like whatever wants to like. If he likes light skinned women, thats his preference.

F*ck diddy he is lame and always has been. Besides he’s on his own d*ck so much that its hard to focus on anything else with him..

lol diddy is a hot mess! who cares about what kind of girls he wants? i know i dont! honestly in my opnion diddy is a nobody and i look at all of his groups and laugh because 8out of 10 of them aint here! So really it doesnt matter!

I am not disappointed in his decision of what he wants in his casting call. It’s the same as discriminating on size. The industry he is in, all they do is discriminate, and tehn try to make everyone feel like they try to reach the viewers, and be our inspirations. He may be trying to reach a different demographic, which is business. If he made a posting about wanting Bigger girls, I’d be like hell yea. So i think the maddening issue is exclusion.

Diddy needs to get his tail off his back…or soon enough his world will come tumbling down more that it already has!

gerdaduroska10
Now I will give you that….he could have made more of an effort to include more people period in his $35.00 an hour offer. I was speaking more to all that other reckless stuff people were saying…… and the one brother using this as an opportunity to sound real pro black…. Its a business Diddy is running and I’m sure he has had plenty of dark skinned women working for him in some capacity over the years.

LOL….more nonsense.

We live in America…certain ideas, values and practices are necessary to continue certain ideas,values and practices in America going.

With that said…I could care less. A foolish, egotistic Black man with millions of dollars wanting to make a video filled with a bunch of mixed-race models….not really something thats gonna advance the progressive cause of anyone.

Im a proud and beautiful dark skinned woman. I dont have nothing against Diddy but women are beautiful in all shades. I cant believe he excluded women who look like his own mother! He really needs to remember that he is darkskin and if he didn’t have that money, a white, hispanic or light skinned black woman wouldn’t even look at his lazy eyed self.

I guess that’s why he don’t want to marry Kim Porter. She’s to dark to be his wife but she can have his babies. What an a*****e.

thats real wack diddy.you played yourself.black is the color to be.look in the mirror idiot.what would biggie say if he were still here.its all good because their is plenty other vodkas other than ciroc.i will never buy that s#%t again.now i gota go tell the hood about you.

WOW! Is all I can really say, it’s not like the add said we will take any light-skinned, hispanic, or white chick. There were height and size requirements too. So should all the short fat people be pissed off too? It’s Hollywood, and most of us don’t fit the “look” for it. It’s not about internal racism, house niggas vs. field niggas. We all have a preference to what we are attracted to and it does not mean we hate ourselves. Because I usually have a fondness for dark-skinned men doesn’t mean that I hate my light-skinned self. Some of us are too deep for our own selves.

ReallY? why is this even an issue? are there not more important things goin on in the world? but we concerned about diddy likin “lighter skinned girls” WTF! everybody likes somethin different so who really cares.

WOW HE REALLY TOOK IT THERE YOU KNOW WHAT I MIGHT BE BLACK ASS HELL BUT I GOT MORE TO GIVE THEN ANY B***H THAT THINK SHE BETTER BECAUSE SHE LIGHT SO DID TAKE MY MIDDLE FINGER AND PUT IT WERE YOU WANT IT I LOVE BEING BLACK AND WOULDNT CHANGE IT FOR ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD

diddy don’t dis-like dark skinned women my precious people. everybody on the face of this planet knows that dark skinned women taste the sweetest. i love women of all shades, but i have an unquenchable thirst for the deepest dark skinned women. the media is blowing this up to be an offensive color thing. diddy makes sub-standard music, but this whole color thing on their end is a marketing strategy. diddy knows that in order to keep making those million dollar whatevers, he has to cater to what the people want. it not diddys fault. it’s OUR fault. we are the ones who cant think for ourselves. remember when nobody was thinking about a bald brotha till R. kelly came out. didnt no body really care about dark skinned sistahs with natural hair till lauren hill popped up. you could not find a women with a fat dude till you saw heavy d. put it down. black women wasnt screaming strenght and independence till queen latifah said she had it up to here. we too stupid , separated and foolish to change so shut the f**k up and let diddy make his lil money off of it

Now If you Darkskin you have to be EXCEPTIONAL…. Looonnng pretty hair.. and a Nice nose.. I mean just FLAWESS!… cant nobody tell me im lyin!!

PIC WHO YOU WANT, BUT DONT SPREAD IGNORANCE …WE FINALLY GET AHEAD WITH A BROTHER IN THE WHITE HOUSE NOW HEAR HE IS BEING INTELECTUALLY IGNORANT…ONCE AGAIN FOR ATTENTION… SPREADING SOMETHING IN A FORMAT THAT CAN ONCE AGAIN TRIGGERR HATRED FOR DARK SKIN CHAOS… HAVENT WE HAD ENOUGH HARD TIMES OF BEING UNACCEPTED…COME ON DIDDY…HAVE YOUR CALL!…PICK WHO YOU WANT!… BUT DAMN…THERES ALWAYS A WAY OF DOING THINGS WITHOUT BLATENT IGNORANCE WHILE YOU’RE AS EXPOSED AS YOU ARE…BUT IF THATS OBVIOUSLY WHAT HE NEEDS TO FOCUS ON IS SKIN COLOR TO HIGHER HIS SELF ESTEEM…SO BE IT….HALF OF THE SO CALLED LIGHT SKINNED WOMEN PROBABLY WOULDNT BE BOTHERED WITH HIM IF HE WAS JUST A REGULAR OL’ JOE…IM SURE ALOTTA DARK CHICKS HAVE SUPPORTED HIS RECORD SALES AS WELL,MAINLY CUZ HE’S A BROTHER DOING WELL…AND NOT BECAUSE OF HIS FLOW!!! IM A CHOCOLATE MOCHA GIRL AND CAN GO TOE TO TOE WITH LIGHT SKINNED BEAUTY ANYDAY… I LOVE ME…AND WOULDNT BOTHER WITH A DUSTY MAN, WHO DISCRIMINATES PUBLICLY AS A FASAD OR PRETENCE FOR PREFERENCE… I ENTERTAIN, &THATS LIKE ME SAYIN…ONLY THE GUYS WHO MAKE 250K AND ABOVE, WILL I SING TO… NOT THE OTHER HARDWORKING FELLAS WHO MAKE EVEN A PENNY LESS… IT WOULD BE MY PREFERENCE BUT IM SURE THE GUYS WHO WORK JUST AS HARD BUT DONT MAKE THAT FIGURE WILL FEEL A LIL UNWORTHY BY MY STANDARDS… THERE ARE A LOT OF MOCHA SISTAS WHO ARE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN A LOT OF LIGHT SKINNED SISTAS… COME ON NOW! BUT ANYWHO GOOD LUCK PUFFHADDY~THIS MAY HURT YA BEFORE IT BLOWS OVER SO GET READY TO PLAY CLEAN IT UP & KEEP YO SALES DEARHEART… AS ERIC BENET SAYS… WRAP THEM WHAT??? LEGS AROUND HIM…LOL,LOL OK IM GOOD BP BABYBOO’S…
***2THEMAXX**MOCHAMAXX

Yes! Finally someone is making the fact that white/light-skinned women are better looking, nicer, and easier to work/get along with than yall crazy, bad attitude havin, ignorant, ghetto black women. Thanks Diddy!

DONT TRIP JUST DONT BUY HIS S**T PLAIN AN SIMPLE LET U KNOW HE DIDNT GIVE A F**K ABOUT BIGGIE THOSE PEOPLE IN NEW YORK SHOULD RUN HIS CROCDILE LOOKIN ASS OUT OF THERE.

How can black people justify such level of ignorance? Casting call or not, such bias should not be tolerated; regardless of who it is coming from. Creative vision involves people of all color, size and socio-economic background. What the hell does creative vision has to do with blatant bias toward people of a darker shade of black and different size. Diddy may not have anything to do with the creative direction, but he has a dam big mouth to say, “ Maan, I cannot do, that. It is bias against my own people.” If it was Steven Spielberg doing a casting calls and post “black people need not apply”, we would get an out cry from the Sharptons, Jacksons and all those other so-call civil rights leaders. PEOPLE! Why are we so accepting of this non-sense in our own communities.

i see diddy in a whole different light now…he is darker than a brown paper bag so how can he not accept a woman the some color as him. you think that black ppl will buy yo s**t knowing that you prefer “light skin chicks” and im not saying that you cant like light skin chicks but you are joiining the band wagon of the stereotypes about “dark skinned” women…….I WILL PRAY FOR YOU!

I am not surprised. Many people have a preference and as sad as it may seem that preference is making money over anything else. We live in a society where beauty sells and sex sells and body image is a major part of the entertainment industry. Diddy is a business man and has thr right to make his decisions like any other business man. We have the choice whether to support him or not. I am not offended by this comment because Diddy does not define me as a woman let alone a black lady. Men like Diddy who are caught up in the “brown bag” syndrome make me not only laugh because he is an educated fool but I love that men like this open their mouth because, it reminds me to pass them over. He needs to hold a mirror up and truly look at himself take a long, hard look at the person staring back @ him.

Wow Diddy just lost all the lil support I have ever gave him. I’m as black as they come. Never drank or smoke a day in my life, grew up in hard times like any other, attending K-State Majoring in Accounting and Tech. But I’m suppose to looked at as Ghetto, and harder to deal with (according to Josh statement on here)? Diddy, Josh God bless ya….

WE ARE ALL ON A BUFFET AND DIDDY PREFERS THE LIGHTER PORTION OF MEAT, THATS HIS CHOICE SO EITHER SUPPORT HIM OR DON’T. ITS ASHAME WE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT S**T LIKE THIS I WILL TELL YOU THIS I WILL NOT SUPPORT ANYTHING HE DOES.

I think that its messed up thats like saying dark skinned girls arent as pretty as white or light skinned women. If the female population felt that same way diddy would be out of business. And all you niggas on here talking about he right and you have to be exceptional if women felt that way about you you wouldnt have no p*ssy to f*ck. All women are beautiful and diddy needs to accept that. That not being supportive of the black community. Hell is mama is dark skinned she aint light by no means so would that mean he wouldnt put her in the commerical either?

yo Joshsmiley84, your a ignorant, un educated dude. but i can’t be mad at you because people like you don’t love themselves. somebody needs to g check you, forreal.

Well…..once again diddy has done sumthing ignorant…..U never of blacker da berry sweeter the juice…I may be a high yella sista but still chocolate is where its at…..but hey a house nigga wouldnt know that…..i guess im not drinkin ciroc. All the hood niggas finna know now….lol diddy dine messed up

thats not true his girl groups had dark skinned girls. so what he likes light colored ladies so what i dont like dark skinned men so we are all able to pick what we like get over it ok. one is not better than the other its just what he likes.

We as a people and as a country in general are turbulanty lost in a sea of spiritual and psychological ignorance!

No correction his girl groups have brown skinned brown and dark two different things.

You cant blame he……the mudda c**t dark already wat he gone want wid a dark girl to lol

the make up must be having him thinking tha he is clear lol

wow! it doesnt surprise me to hear this,because ive known for years that black people dont love themselves,so what diddy is doing and saying is nothing new or a reason to further entertain our rascist and shallow views of one another.bottom line is willie lynch made a remarkable and irriversible experiment on africans globally that onli the power and will of god can undo.because threw out the exsistance of america it has been know an seen that blacks hate themselves and hates everyone who resembles them.its called black on black rascism. one day we all be called to face it and stop pretending that it doesnt exist. thank you

Welcome back to “Dark Black” Vs “High Yellow” it’s 2009 not 1989 who really cares. You don’t see white people going back and forth between “Pale” Vs “Tan” LMAO, this is the very reason we can’t get ahead next its going to be “Good Hair” Vs “Nappy Hair”
Lets all go bad to slavery at least we were on the same page and not against each other…..wait I’m wrong there “House Nigga’s” Vs “Field Nigga’s” Will we ever win ……….?

I don’t get it, he is so dark, so what is his problem. I never liked him so I want be buying anything that he is associated with including Ciroc. Diddy didn’t your momma teach you that BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL.

This is a shame… enough said.

Sad…I think Gabrielle Union is GORGEOUS!! Lol It’s this reason why my girl has issues being around her own people cause they make her feel outkast for bein dark….sad

Look at all the hatin Darkskin people hahaha… light is right get over it… just kiss our asses or give up!

It’s ok to have a preference, but when that preference unfairly deprives others of opportunities then it more than a preference.

he’ a cornball i dont support anything he does

WTF??? Shut the f**k up. Diddy’s an acting ignorant dude. Ask Diddy did they have his children.. Hell Naw… Kim Porter did and she ant light skinned no where. When JLo left his ass high and dry, who was there? Kim Porter. N-e-ways, Y should we care wat Diddy Say. He lame…Difference: He jus famous, dats it. Dat Nigha ant payin my bills and I damn sure aint buying no WEAK ass Diddy album either. Black is beautiful… cant deal wit it then F-U… I hope Harriet Tubman haunt his dreams. lol-

Most Darkskin women are angry becuz of their appearance too… thaz why they hair wont grow no longer then 4inches.

Thank God that I was taught to love myself no matter what my skin color is…to bad with all the money he has he has still not learned that “BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL”

DAMN LADIES, I’M SURE YALL HAVE PREFERENCES ABOUT MEN, IF NOT THEN YOU’LL ACCEPT ANYTHING. YALL CAN’T BE HATING CAUSE HE DOESN’T PREFER DARK SKIN WOMEN FOR HIS PROMO. THATS JUST HIS PREFERENCE. JUST LIKE A PREFERENCE THAT LADIES MIGHT HAVE ABOUT A MAN. ITS MESSED UP THAT THIS IS A TOPIC.

Its sad that he would have anything to do with anything like this, has he forgot the reason he came up as fast as he did. Riding the back of a dark skinned person that was over a size 7! Biggie is turning in his grave.

who cares its about making money…

So Dark skin woman cnt grow hair?….LMAO!!! Come holla at me, I’ll show u my NATURAL LONG tresses.

Who cares he gay anyway.

Nasty-Ian-69 You must’ve gotten beaten up by darker skinned guys/girls when you were younger or maybe eve, now that you’re an adult. No need for such hatred. PLus you look a lil sofTTTTTT!!!! lol

I ALSO HATE WHEN PEOPLE SAY “BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL” BECAUSE YOU CAN BE BLACK AND BE UGLY AS S**T.

I feel like thi a ad is discrminating to all balck women that are not of the light skinnde people that they would prefer. Me personallly I’m dark and lovely. If Diddy waz to see me he woul dlove me. The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice………… Fuk Diddy he dark skin tooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

hahaha hi haters its all business, american perfers the lighter skin people hate to say it but its true, i have nothing against dark skin people but conqour the industry and make a space for the darker skin people african americans are not hte only poeple who have dark skin there are dark skin arabs dark skin mexicans and latinos hel Kim prter is not light skin, its just business what ever sells the product

Thats real f**kin sad, especially knowing that there are more inmportant issues going on in this world. But its even more ridiculous when a poerson is racist to there own race, eveb if it is only a skin complextion. Im a beautiful black beauty and no what punk ass Diddy or the rest of u HATERS feel about my skin, Im LOVIN THEN SKIN IM IN! I know that when i go out wit my girls (most of them lighter complextion) I stand out cause Im diffent and thats how I like it. Now if this was 10 to 13 years ago I would feel even low about myself something that I can’t help, but living in this f**ked up society has taught me alot. People are afraid of change and competition, so to the B***HASSNESS that lies in Diddy and the rest of u losers Im laughing at u. And another thing has anyone noticed that all them little light skinned heifers that he hired and signed to contract, none of them hoes went no where, cause none of them has anything that stands out, so once again, Im laughing at you f**k haters!!!!!!!!

I don’t remember Diddy’s little girls being light-skinned, would he turn his own daughters away? Dark-skinned women are sexy and exotic, they just don’t know what to do with us, that’s all!

Darkskin woman are LOSING and they know it hahaha… go do like Michael Jackson or some shyt… BLEACH it! hahah… but then again the Darkskin chicks would STILL have ugly facial features hahaha

and sipping on my Ciroc that I stole, so once again I got the last laugh!

F#*@ Diddy He A stupid muthaFu#@ I’am a Beautiful Dark skined Woman!

i find it amusing because diddy is brown as a milk dudd! he himself is nowhere near right and when he says s**t like this i think it’s a form of self hatred. then again, he probably has orders from ciroc also to do such a casting call. but iman is sexy, alec wec isn’t sexy but she’s one of the highest paid models ever, and i wonder if diddy’s mama or sisters or neices are light skinned. s**t is foolish.

You ppl are lame for agreeing with that loser Diddy this Mr. Shiny Suit man wearing azz! and when it comes to color dark skinned or light skinned is beautiful and for all you ppl thinking just cuz you light it will win you a goody bag NEGATIVE stop being ignorant and start opening your Bible’s more often before you find ya self burning in Hell with Diddy!!

Lauren London is not light skinned
Neither is a paper bag. Diddy doesn’t want to market dark skinned girls. It’s his money isn’t it? So why do we care?

whateva. dont bother me none. he can pick whoever he want to pick. and the girls that do it better act like asking for more than $35 and hour. this diddy! u better get ur car note and mortgage paid

diddy can suck my butt im chocolate,sexy and the dudes and ladies love me

Dark skinned girls need more lotion. Ha Ha

and you know what else, yall some beautiful women and everything but some of yall claiming to be dark skinned and your really not. you could be a darker shade than the next lady but that doesnt mean your dark skinned.

COMEON DIDDY YOUR ASS IS DARKSKINNED U SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF…….WE COME IN ALL COLORS BOO..

well, it makes no sense gettin mad @ diddy. there will always be guys out there who would WORHSIP the ground a liteskinned or a darkskinned girl walks on .. Im sure diddy has his reasons and even though they might be ignorant.. we have no control over it.. ITS LIFE! im chocolate, will always be, so we jus gotta work wit what we got and never let bullsh*t like that get us down. Every one views beauty different and as long as u kno ur beautiful, forget about what other fools got to say.. u jus basically gotta say “GET WIT IT, OR GET LOST” and in diddy’s case he would run out screamin. but i bet another dude gona come in wit some flowers and gifts, ready to pamper our chocolate azzes! its whatever man :-)

its nothing wrong with dark skinned women my sister is dark skinned and very beautiful i myself isnt dark skinned but we are all beautiful women and should be treated the same not by how light or dark we are that.so that is very ignorant of them all this is exactly why this world is like this now…..u make it seem like light skinned women are better than dark skinned we all come from the same father no one has the right to judge only him so get wit the program diddy!!!1

I know that when GOD made me he broke the mold,and when he was designing me he knew just what he was doing Piddy may not know that beauty is only skindeep or he may just be one of those people who think that beauty is measured by the tone of skin color,it’s sad to see someone who’s always in the spotlight be so ignorant when it comes to such things,I’m not knocking him for what he likes because we all have our types,i’m knocking him because of the message that he’s sending to our daughters,our sisters,our nieces and out of all the things he may have become a grown man should be in there somewhere,one who knows better than to allow himself caught up in something so silly.I’m a dark skinned woman and I’m damn beautiful if all you see is the tone of my skin and that turns you off then I feel bad for you,because you’d miss getting to know a wonderful mother,sister,daughter,aunt, and friend. Beauty is so so much more Mr.Combs,than the hue of my skin.How about this maybe you should say you only want white.or hispanic,or lightskinned women who are no more than 5’6 to spend their money and enjoy your product.Take that to your advertisers and see what they think,how much money will you make them signed ……Dark and Lovely,proudly

Diddy must have not looked in the mirror lately. But thats the problem with our people now days. There is racism and discrimination in within our own race and it so, so sad. Black people we have got to do better. Black is beautiful regardless of the shade. Thats what makes us beautiful. We come in so many different colors and thats what makes us so unique from one another. I know I am a beautiful, happy to be a dark skinned woman and I will never wish to change my skin tone. But is this what we want our children to do? Discriminate against one another?

Forget Diddy behind!! He doesnt wanna give beautiful darked skinned women a chance, then that is on him!! BEsides, everybody knows Diddy plays 4 the other team anywayz!! Why u think he cant ever keep a woman?

i dont beleive this article…BP is known for having, “rumorville”, “overhyped”, type articles,lol

OH boy here we go with another rumorville, overhyped, BP article…lol

I’m not light & I’m not dark…I’m mocha caramel in the happy medium but I never liked Puff Daddy P Diddy Puffy Sean Combs Sean John or whatever he wanna call himself anyway…as dark as he is. He is so confused/lost…he needs prayer…LOL

how is a negro that is black as tar going to say no dark skin women.

Hey Whether This Is A Rumor Or Not, There Are Brothers Out There Who Are Tuned Off By Chocolate Sistas. All I’ve got To Say Is That They Don’t Know What They’re Missin. But That’s Cool. Everyone Has Their Prefrence. Me Myself, I Love Dark Shinned And Caramel Sistas, And Dark Skinned Latinos.

If the story is true, that is very wrong diddy. I’m brown skinned. But i just think discriminating on your own, it’s way out of order, expecially when his dark skinned too.

Havent black women been subjected to enough descrimination then a brother with so much talent and self respect lets this kind of abuse continue. Diddy I respect you and what you do, but common sense lets you know that black is beautiful no matter the shade or size. Im not angry, just dissappointed. stay blessed.

Im dark. and im pretty. that one girl from the show Candy Girls is brown and pretty. wtf. i hate puffy. diddy. what-EVA!

That is what he is looking for specificaly, just like the ad says don’t apply nothing else, he is not putting down dark skinned women he just does not preffer them you cannot knock him for that. Personally I think there is nothing sexier than a beautiful dark skinned woman. Plus the darker the berry the sweeter the juice, He is just missing out.

wtf!!! im dark skinned and sexy as hell… aint nothin like chocolate…

ok, i’m just wondering (after posting two comments already lol ), if he’s even aware of this blog???? I’m sure he wouldnt care anyway, but I cant help but wonder. Does he know we are on here posting comments about his preferernce, while he is laid up with some female/male and watching his bank account grow? lol lol. :-D
Seriously, he is who he is and he wants what he wants. I’m pretty sure it was just the tone of the way Ms/Mrs Bennette post the ad that got people a little fired up. For those who wish not to support him, just stop spending your hard earned dollars on this brands and affiliations. He narrowing down the employment door. Still, that is no reason for us to attack, and put eachother down or result to name calling. Lets not let Diddy’s Ad, comments,or preference set us back in time. We are already in a tough/down time as is and we shouldnt let him affect us.. :-D Its spring time, a great time to be positive and get a little sweetheart going ;-)… Lets try addressing eachother by way of getting to know eachother better, not by way of name calling or trash talking our fellow bp members… try exchanging numbers instead lol :-)

Who cares if he does not like dark women he does not hisself.

Who cares? I’m darker..and I don’t care.. if that’s his preference then that’s just his preference.. whatever.

DARKSKIN women will never be above the pretty lightskin girls.. get over it… thats how life is gone be hahaaa

What kills me is that he’s dark skinned himself!! Wow, so bloody superficial!! And he isn’t all that and a bag of chips anyway. He looks like a bottle fish to me lol.

Why do we care?
Well one person or company excluding darkskinned actors is one thing, no biggie, but where do you turn when the whole industry is doing it?
Suppose you say, well let’s create our own market but that is what black men like Diddy are supposed to be doing, instead he’s perpetuating the discrimination also, and he’s is not the only one. Dark skinned female actors have long complained about being locked out of videos and if this article is true we see one way how it’s perpetuated. Treachery most foul!!

Ahhh~ You can also be light-skinned and ugly as s**t, or white and ugly ass s**t for that matter…dont play luv!!! theres beauty in every race… but everything is geared closest to whats white and ignorant people who are weak and just go wit the program are exactly that “PROGRAMMED” in there thinking as to what beauty is… If your hair grows just 2 inches, who created the fasad that shorter is considered to be ugly…this world is so jacked wit that and ignorant to what beauty really is… we’ve bowed to what we are told by *&%# of what beauty is… I dont have a problem with preference but the last line kinda told on him and took it to another level of unworthiness so to say,Need not apply…Its not what you do Its how you do it… I got a preference but I promise if the opposite approaches that fits my package I wouldnt discriminate … theyd be on… and no different just because of the pigment of their skin…. Sadddd People… ofcourse He can choose, Thats Coo! but the last comment takes it a lil deeper and was really unneccesary…ok he likes light skinned women….its like whatever…but he went a lil further…

F**k em I dont buy nothing he owns anyway

He also doesn’t like short woman and bigger girls. Size 7 or smaller LOL

Diddy is just playing into the slave mentality again with this bs. I don’t support him or none of his business ventures. Because he’s another sellout sambo tap dancing for whitey to keep his fortune.

DIDI full of crap…..He so superficial…God help him

Your colour of your skin does not depict your true beauty…..But he to shallow to know that……

him being dark skin his self it’s offensive if he had anything to do with the ad im offended and im not a dark skin woman and im a plus size woman and him asking for a size 7 or under don’t bother me as much as the color thing the ugly thing is we’re use to white america doing this and putting their standards on what beauty is when it comes to color and size and being a black man he’s aware of the limitations we have on us so for him to be apart of it bother’s me be but im sure he sleeps sound at night he just seems like that type of a$$ hole

Darkskin woman face it…. your knowhere on the radar in comparison to the lightskin women.

Diddy is an ahole, period, just look at how he treats his artists.

How about everybody just let Diddy do this thing. Get off the man dick! He’s in a position with money and power and can do what the f**k he wants. If he likes only light colored females that’s his preference. I know females right now who only date lightskinned guys. So what the f**k???

I wonder if you can be a dark skin Hispanic?

i’m beautiful.

True the man can like what he wants, but this is not something that warrants his “preference”. This is an ad that will be seen by millions of people and is for marketing a product. Anybody with an ounce of marketing sense knows that you want to open your product to people of all aspects. So how about nobody dark-skinned drinks that bullsh*t? I don’t think Diddy would be too happy about that.

Diddy can kiss my ENTIRE A**!!!!

tisk, tisk, tisk…

I don’t knock Diddy’s preferences but what does a pale white woman have over a dark skinned black woman? He only is accepting black women under one condition yet accepts white women under any conditions. But the bottom line is individuals are gonna have their own personal preferences. Who cares, there’s someone for everybody.

LOOK IF HE DON’T LIKE DARK SKIN WOMEN THAT HIS BUSINESS SO WHAT! IT NO DIFFERENT THAN A WOMEN WHO 5-11 WHO DON’T LIKE SHORT MEN OR A WOMEN WHO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY AND DON’T LIKE MAN WHO DON’T WE ALL JUDGE MENTAL NO MATTER HOW YOU CUT THE CAKE BECAUSE ALL YOU DARK WOMEN WHO COMMENTING ON THIS SH!T DO THE COLOR THING YOUR SELF I KNOW LOTS OF DARK WOMEN WHO MATE WITH A LIGHTER MAN OR A MAN OF WHITE OR SPANISH COLOR SO THE BABY WANT COME OUT SO DARK SO WHAT IF THAT NI99A LIKE LIGHT COLOR WOMEN THAT HIS BUSINESS LIKE I SAID CAUSE WHEN IT ALL SAID IN DONE HE STILL GONNA BE PAID SO F**K HIM AND WHAT HE LIKES BUT WOMEN OF DARK COLOR KEEP IT REAL WHY IS IT WHEN A BLACK MAN SAY HE LIKE DARK SKIN (DARK CHOCOLATE)WOMEN BETTER HE SOMETHING OF A DOWN BROTHER BUT SOON AS HE SAY HE LIKE LIGHT SKIN (RED BONE) WOMEN BETTER HE’S SOMETHING OF A SALE OUT, BACK IN THE 60′S THE WHITE PEOPLE DIDN’T CARE IF YOU WERE DARK OR LIGHT COLOR BLACK PERSON YOU STILL WAS A NI99ER! IN (HIS/HER) EYES. NOW I GOT TO BEAUTIFUL BLACK SONS BY TWO DIFFERENT BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMEN ONE A (RED BONE) AND THE OTHER IS (DARK CHOCOLATE) AND I HAD THE HOTS FOR BOTH OF THEM THE SAME NOW I CAN’T STAND BOTH OF THEM THE SAME…LOL! ANY WAY BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL DARK OR LIGHT DON’T MATTER AND DON’T LET AZZ HOLE LIKE P-DIDDY AND YOUNG BIRD UP SET YOU BECAUSE THEIR IS SOMEONE WHO THINKING ABOUT YOU RIGHT NOW ABOUT HOW DARK&LOVELY YOU ARE…..GOD BLESS.

WHAT??? Im dark-skinned n I look DAMN GUD!!! His baby-mom is darkskinned… WTF???

I love this, some of you are soooo damn dumb, he aint just talking about dark chicks, pay attention

Race: White, hispanic or light skinned african american
Height: At least 5?6 or taller
Size 7 or smaller.

That, no dark chicks
no short chicks
and no Big Chicks

Ergo – he want “Model” types only – get over it.

I’m a dark skinned woman. Me personally don’t give a s**t with he has to say. Because he not light skinned his self. If he like white, hispanic and light skinned woman that your business. But putting down dark skinned woman for you ads,is just crazy. Slavery is over. So diddy get over yourself. Really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

diddy is a fag…he loses all points for that although im not surprised..s**t I’m cute and I f**ks wit plenty darkskinned b***hes who do they thing as well..the darker the berry sweeter the juice..and b***h I’m as juicy as they come..

“Brooklyn_Gal1
I wonder if you can be a dark skin Hispanic?”

LOL

Diddy is just doing what all dumb ass black dudes with money does. They forget that their mother is dark skinned and they find whatever is close to being white. I feel for you brother or should I say tom.

I dont support Diddy because I do not support anything HIP-HOP, RAP, R&B, RAGGAE, JAZZ, & ETC. But he’s not wrong for wanting a certain woman of color. Is it wrong to want only blondes, or brunettes, or red-heads for models of products? No it’s not! So then it’s not wront what Diddy is asking for as well, what if he only wanted dark-skinned females, would it be a problem, for you people? Most likely not.

As a black man myself, being Diddy’s complexion, I defend his preference NOT HIS PRODUCT, OR ANYTHING HE PRODUCES AT ALL.

Also there are alot of us blacks, who do not date dark skinned people or light skinned people because of PERSONAL PREFERENCES, nothing wrong with that.

And please stop blaming everything on Willie Lynch and the slave mentality aspect. Black people aren’t bound to except everything and everyone that’s black.

I wouldnt dare date or even consider talking to or even sleeping with a female that has a tattoo, I guess that’s part slave mentality too, right?

Come on people on any color/race….WAKE UP!!!

Diddy Cant handle a dark skin women, and there plenty of beautiful black women just look at Gabrielle Union, Kelly Rowland is just to name a few plus his baby momma is dark Skin tone has nothing to do with a women beauty He better take a page out of Our Presidents book Michelle Obama is not only dark Skin she has short hair .. but he couldnt handle her either …..lol Big ups to Diddy ..I mean to all my haters….

You’re missing the point, EbonyBishop. He wants model chicks and that’s fine. He just doesn’t want dark ones, and that’s a problem for darkskinned actors looking for work.

Welll, I’m not REALLY surprised by this article. Diddy always has a preference when it comes to marketing his investments. Everyone in Danity Kane cannot sing lol. But he chosed them over better singers. I don’t respect it, but I’m not really offended. I just hope this move doesn’t bite him in the ass in the long run. His beautiful twins have the complexions of him and Kim. When they’re older, should they grow up having a complex about their skin tone because dad prefers light skinned/white girls to advertise his products?

EbonyBishop he may just be talkin about models..but did it ever occur to YOU that not all models are lightskinned black women, and white!…Duhh get over it

okay soooo… im not one to be offended by this….he wants the typical model type…i mean its shame of how shallow we can be at times..but oh well..we all are at some point or another…i guess he said there was only room for ONE DARK BROTHA..ME (DIDDY) L0L!!

and with that said im gonna finish drinking my ciroc lol

Yes, ONE CAN BE DARK/DARK SKIN HISPANIC :-)… I’m not sure if she meant that as joke or was really unsure. No one knows everything, but that is your answer right there for the young lady who asked the question earlier. Take care.

who cares?…i mean really? it’s not that serious…Love yourself and comments like this won’t bother you

It is really sad that in this day some folks are still color struck. This video girls image has been around since R&B was born.

Fortunately, P.Dummy doesn’t write a single check for me.

And the women they are calling light skinned are Puerto Rican, White or Bi-Racial.

Oh well i was goin try 2 apply but i aint no size 7. Well he missed out on gd 1

I’m a darkskinned diva and by NO MEANS does diddy’s casting call offend me. Its his personal preference. I myself, am not into darkskin men. I’m attracted to red-bones and caramel tones. I just think ya’ll are blowning this way out of proportion. Now I would date a darkskin good looking man, but its just my initial preference is for the lighter spectrum. Diddy is dark and i’m dark, it would be like dissing yourself to say “dark skin need not apply!” stop putting words in his mouth. Making drama out of nuttin!!

F**k diddy what he talkin bout a size 7 … thats like he sayin u can’t apply cause u blk or white ! what eva ! lol
Imma go for bow wows ! cause he needs him a big gurl !

This is why darker skinned girls & women have self image issues. No one thinks darker women are beautiful, and so they want to be light like the girls on tv. Thanks Diddy…u continue to mess wit the average girl’s self esteem.

Diddy, dark skin light skin white skin red skin….lol…I have a look thats in but I’m not a size 7…..Hit a sista back, we can make it work…..sweeter than a peach, as hard as bricks….holla back…..

Well he proved my point again he is an honorary jackass.

Give me a break. Its a modeling gig and he is looking for a specific type. So what? Models are put through this kind of scrutiny all the time. They are always picked based upon their visual requirements.Then they put up specific pics of him and light skinned women. Aubrey, Sienna Miller and Cameron Diaz aren’t light skinned, they are white women! Let it go people, let it go.

I GUESS HE’S RIGHT TO ASK FOR A LIGHT-SKINNED WOMAN CASE THERE ISNT ENOUGH ROOM IN THE PHOTO FOR TWO BLACK PEOPLE I GUESS IT WOULD TAKE THE ATTENION AWAY FROM HIM

so who cares some of you black women are angry and haters.

He needs his dumb country ass whipped. And somebody tell that n****r it’s 2009

truth is it is the light skinned girls that are gettin the short end of the stick. they are just objects to most men. but when a man loves a dark sistah, he LOVES that sistah.

Blah,Blah,Blah who gives a rat azz lol

Blah,Blah,Blah who gives a rat azz lol.

Comments like these is why black people are so divided and ignorant. First off, it’s not about loving yourself that words shouldn’t offend you, it’s the fact that people need not be color struck. Have anyone on here read up there African American history? Then you would know that color has placed a huge dividing line since slavery between dark and light skin blacks. And we are continuing that ignorant with the next generation. That is not a preference because what does it matter what complexion a man or woman is, can someone explain that to me? Unless have hidden hatred or racism toward your kind. Size is something you can control as far as weight and that that is a preference, but skin complexion? Come on, how naive and silly can some of you be to say that who cares?

For those 20 plus years, remember Wesley Snipes made a comment about his preference and attitude toward black women and look where his career ended up. I don’t hear white men, hispanic men talk about skin color as much as we do. Light isn’t always right and neiter is white. Most individuals have a slave minded mentally in the U.S. and don’t even know it. Why does color have to be an issue for so many people? But yet America has changed yeah right. Alot of you men and women who holla, oohhh I want a light skin man so my babies can be cute are pathetic and silly and need to grow up. Or the reason you date a dark skin man because of sexual stereotype. Date a person because you like them or you’re with them because you love them. Stop being a slaved minded human being and grow up, a person’s skin color doesn’t make them who they are. Also, know your f**king history, the issues of light skin and dark skin didn’t start just yesterday.

Money2bemade, you sound like a damn fool. You just defending what he (diddy) said cause you don’t like dark skinned women. Some people took it offensive cause people (including yourself) always think dark is not beautiful. Instead of coming together as people, it always some a*****e making a diffrence between the two. Light skinned, dark skinned. Why not just want to have a beautiful women period whether she’s white, hispanic, or whatever, but who are you to say anything when you don’t have anything to do with anything ethnical. Including yourself!!!! Thats the problem, people don’t know how to stick together for nothing. Just pick a beautiful women and stop being dividing people like willie lynch did back in the day.

Im a dark sister and I got offended by that. Its bad enough we african americans have to deal with other races bring predjudice towards us and for Diddy to say something ignorant like that was not cool. Plus we already in a recession, people needing jobs and he hurtin the “dark skinned” people because he wants to profit from Ciroc having “light skinned” models in his promo. Im sure more than those ” light skinned” people will be making his ass rich buying Ciroc too!

Lightskin people are better then Darkskin people… its OBVIOUS… there is really no debate.

honestly the ad is wack ! how can he discriminate like that ,although its a catch 22 cuz if he doesnt specify what he’s lookin for then u would have 1000′s of extra pics to go thru for nothin when thats not what he is lookin for . i just think the ad shouldnt read like this. but to each their own i mean i happen to love chocolate women not to say that he dont but Damn Diddy u got to watch how u could possibly be protrayed behnd this

fukk light skin chicks cuz either rae or color is gud diddy need ta get outta here wit dat wen his azz his dark skin he suspose ta be wit all type of color chickz diddy can kick rockz

Diddy just wants to get some s**t started. He knows how some people feel about that situation.He just wants some attention like what kids do, but he’s diddy so Im sure he doesn’t give a f**k what anyone of us thinks.

WOW look at all the angry darkskin women in here lmao… go ahead and get ALL the anger out!!.. it still aint gone change that you dark and lightskin women look better lol.

As far as Light Skinned vs Dark Skinned it’s really a non issue some like them dark some like them light ..if you gonna complain about his color choices then complain about his size choices as well or that he always got chicks with long flowing hair or that they are always sexy why not ugly chicks?? it’s because he’s catering to WHAT SELLS thats like saying sex sells cars so lets not have ANYTHING sexy in our car commercial they will put whatever “appeals” to the buyer so if it’s a Bright ORANGE woman with purple hair that appeals to the “masses” then that’s what he’ll ask for if you notice BUFFY is really dark she gets alot of calls for work SO is Tyra and Iman so cuz diddy wants his light skinned chicks for Ciroc why complain just dont drink it (which im sure that MOST of you do cuz Diddy says so)

Nasty-Ian is a ignorant bastard, and he definitely has the right screen name, lol

im not a dark skinned woman but i don’t like how diddy is discriminating aginst dark skinned women it’s wrong and very unfair and how can he discriminate against dark skinned women when the mother of his kid’s is a dark skinned woman beauty comes in all shade’s and sizes.

well maybe he can explain this to his dark skinned daughters

Lol, that s**t is funny….I feel diddy tho…most light skin females are more attractive because their hair is usually longer and more appealing…but there are sum dark skin females that are very appealing too, so did is kinda wild for that comment…but its what he wants, he’s the employer so u can knock him for what he wants…

MR. DIDDY,
HELLO. IF YOU ARE TRULY SUPPORTIVE OF YOUR FUTURE PROJECT RESTRICTING THE CASTING OF DARK SKINNED LADIES, I FIND THIS CONCERNING FOR SEVERAL REASONS. YOU ARE A ROLE MODEL FOR PEOPLE OF VARIOUS RACES AND YOU ARE CONVEYING A MISLEADING MESSAGE WITH THIS RESTRICTION THAT DARK SKINNED, AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE NOT
AS ATTRACTIVE AS LIGHTER SKINNED INDIVIDUALS WHICH IS SIMPLY NOT ACCURATE. IN LAYMEN’S TERMS, THERE ARE PHYSICALLY BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED FEMALES IN ALL SKIN TONES THAT GOD HAS CREATED. YOU ARE A DARK SKINNED AFRICAN AMERICAN MAN SENDING OUT A BLATANTLY RACIST MESSAGE TO THE PUBLIC ASSUMING THAT YOU SUPPORT THIS PARTICULAR STIPULATION REFLECTED IN CASTING REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR UPCOMING PROJECT. PERSONALLY, I AM COMFORTABLE WITH MY MEDIUM COMPLEXION AND I HAVE LIGHT SKINNED HALF SISTERS AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD I DO NOT FEEL INFERIOR TO THEM. I KNOW MY SISTERS AND I EACH HAVE OUR OWN UNIQUE BEAUTY AND I AM BLESSED THAT PEOPLE OF ALL DIFFERENT RACES HAVE EXPRESSED APPRECIATION FOR ME THROUGH THE YEARS. I WILL CLOSE WITH THE REQUEST THAT YOU SERIOUSLY PONDER THE MESSAGE YOU ARE SENDING OTHERS AS A ROLE MODEL IN THIS SOCIETY.

LADIES DONT FEED INTO NASTY IAN’S COMMENTS. HE PROBABLY GOT HERE FROM HIS MAMA PROSTITUTING HER BUTT ON THE STREET WITH SOME WHITE MAN.. OOPS!!.. DID I SAY THAT?? (LOLLLLLLLLLL)

Y’all are missing the point. Money!!! It’s not about what Diddy likes; it’s what the buyer likes. He is a business man. You have to know he looked at numbers and statistics before making his decision. Surely, you all must understand the buisness aspect. Also, every platform does not have to be used to prove black is beautiful! ~ sheesh!

Damn, Combs has lost his mind.

Oh.. and btw ladies.. dont ever let anyone tell you dark isnt beautiful.. because it is. Most light skin sistas all they have going for them is color and hair at least thats what im seeing from most writers here. WE darker ones have ALLLLLLLLLL the brains.. (hehe).. Watch the haters pounce.

Who the hell cares? If you’re secure enough in your skin, then this shouldn’t bother you.
As if Sean Combs is the know all, be all of what attractive and as if he’s attractive as well.
This is not that deep.
Love yourself. Beauty comes in all shapes and colours.
Nasty-lan, you’re childish.

well me personally i like light skinned men. however, if i see a sexy dark skinned man who respects me i won’t turn him down….. i remember when light skinned people were the shyt but now they have pimples and that proactive’s not working….. now it’s the return of the light skinned people

Im a red skinned woman who has black parents, but just come out light! Ive read some of the comments and I agree that these kind of things will give people complexes about their skin colour (black & white). BUT all ya’ll need to remember that this is a casting call! He is looking for a certain type to promote whateva. They do it all the time on tv, music, modelling – its an everyday thing so lets not be petty because a black man is asking for lighter skinned women. There are more serious issues in the world to complain about!!!

Since he doesn’t want dark skinned women in his ad promo I say all the dark skinned people stop buying his s**t and supporting Bad Boy and Sean John…then he’ll understand all the people he done pissed off and watch his profits fall…Diddy was cool with me but now I aint got no love 4 him…I have a dark skinned child who is beautiful…..so is my sister and father..That is just absolutely ridiculous for him to only want white women and hispanic and light skinned blacks…..He’ll be stating that he had nothing 2 do with the casting call and it was Ciroc’s requirements..He’ll be eating his words soon.

So just because you’re light skinned means u have good hair?! What the f**k is that about?…I’m a tell yall a lil secret….IT’S PROBABLY A WEAVE!!!!! :)

That was not Diddy himself. It says in the later, “If the clients wants to book them”. It is about what the client requested, and that is what he had to provide. I don’t believe Diddy has a problem with the darker the berry the deeper the root. At least I would hope that he doesn’t. Black is beautiful no matter the shape. I’m saying this next part bluntly, but their are people unattractive just because they are unattractive. It has nothing to do with the skin color. Myself, I love brothas of all shades doesn’t matter, but you also like what you like. I wouldn’t date a guy shorter than me, there are different types of isms not only race. But when it comes down to business, “the customer is almost right, and what they want they get”.

f**k p-diddy he looks s**tty.i luv dark skin woman,its not enough of dark skin woman on tv and videos.how can u b dark skin and not luv the beauty of a dark skin woman.f**k bad boy,like pac said, bad boy killa..

Hey, atleast they are not going to waste the darker ladies time to be politically correct. And it speaks volumes that the only woman he bred with is a dark woman. Hmmm. I can hear Lil Kim out there buying more bleaching cream as we speak. Sad. “Light skinned”? It would read more professional to say Lighter Complexion as we are not “skinned”. I digress, no matter the flavor or shade we all are beautiful. I am certain there are modeling gigs with specific requests for darker complexion women as well. And would we be in such an uproar if his ad requested dark women only? Or would we be applauding him for embracing black as beautiful? African American people come in so many different shades.

Right on, Ce Ce !!!

diddy sucks..bad boy aint hitting on nothing.

As a dark skinned black woman in this society and Diddy as a black man with two dark skinned daughters and a dark skinned fiance i feel like he is wrong for that because the majority of the people that support Mr. Diddy are 99.99999% dark skinned. It is B.S for him to even come out and try to say he had nothing to do with it he is Diddy and as we all know what Diddy says goes so shame on him!! and to hell with him and his damn promo chicks!!!!!

wow since when has diddy became lightskinned???

dark skinned/light skinned girls need to apply. at my page LOL.

personally i am not offended by this at all… society has things so twisted and distorted…. but it’s up to all of us sista’s to stay strong… so what if they want a light-skinned girl… you already know they have always been picked first… the problem is its just never been put in your face like this before… so dont be upset chocolate beauties… deep down you know its you they wana take home to mama… just remember,”if you stand for nothing… you will fall for anything” keep you heads up ladies!!! you are beautiful

Lol@the diddy and light skinned girls pictures… only one of those women are black… and she’s not even light skinned she’s brown… who put together those pictures?!

I DISAGREE WITH YOU DIP S**T. GIVE DARK SKIN WOMEN SOME PROMTS. THAT ONE IN THE PICTURE ISN’T ALL THAT HOT.

WELL, IF DIDDY DOES FEEL THAT WAY THEN HE IS A JACK ASS… I AM A DARK SKINNED WOMAN AND I LOVE THE WAY I LOOK. DIDDY HAS THIS CONCEPT THAT DARK SKINNED ARE SOME HOW NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE IN HIS CIRCO PROMOTION, AND S**T HIS MOTHER IS DARK. I CAN BELIEVE HE SAID THAT TOO, BECAUSE HE IS A POMPOUS JERK. I ALSO SEE THAT THIS SKIN COLOR THING IS NOT OVER AND WILL CONTIUE TO GO ON AS LONG AS WE HAVE NeanderthaloidS AROUND…

who cares??? his baby mom is dark skinned lol! ladies, if ur dark skinned, don’t be offended, love who u r…i kno i do :-)

lmao….I guess only white people, light people, and hispanic people drink ciroc. They can have it….I’ll stick to Grey Goose…thank you very much.

We should all care if Diddy indeed said that. It’s shameful and disgraceful. And thats the last thing the black nation needs more of: disgrace and shame.

THAT SOME BULL SHYT DARK SKIN GIRLS ARE BEST THING ALIVE,BAD ENUFF NYGGAS DONT HAVE THEM FRONT LINE IN VIDEO NOW THIS S**T DIDDY A SUCKER AZZ NYGGA FOR THAT DARK SKIN LVER FOR LIFE…..

puffy, have grace jones be the only one in your video!!!!!

Beautiful dark skinned women apply here !

YO.. I THINK DIDDY IS INTIMIDATED BY DARKSKIN SISTA’S.IM TAKING INTERVIEWS FOR PRETTY BLACK, SISTA’S.. DARK CHOCOLATE ONLY. THEY KEEP IT REAL, REGARDLESS OF WHO OR WHAT COLOR YOU ARE…. P.S. MY SWEET-TOOTH IS KILLING ME..

All i have to say is this dude is such a racist against his own people and just incase he didn’t know he’s dark himself lol ignorant people make me sick

LMAO~ Uhmmm The add also said he was looking for size 7 or smaller…so even as a ‘light skinned’ African American woman I COULDN’T apply. That’s why it’s an industry you can’t knock them for going for a certain ‘look’. They also left off the list Native Americans, Asians, Island peoples, etc. Can’t knock him it’s the industry…ANYONE who is in this field knows about casting calls…the company is seeking a certain look and if you don’t fit that look, age,height,weight,size or ‘talent’ than you need not apply and push on to the next one. You can’t be in the entertainment industry if you are going to be OVERLY sensitive about what look the company wants portrayed by their spokes models.
Being an aspiring plus size/full figured/Diva size (what eva ya call ‘em) model/ actress I’m going to and have heard a lot more NO’S than yes’s but you gotta keep trucking if it’s what you really want. Would ya’ll be just as pissed if the company only requested DARKER COMPLECTED women? Thought not…

Diddy, are you for real! OMG! Don’t you think this country has endured enough pain and suffering for racism and now you, a rich African-American man comes out the side of your mouth and put down beautiful dark-skinned woman? You really have shamed yourself.

I ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS A PUNK A@@ B@@@H. OH WELL HIS LOSS. AND FOR THE RECORD DIDDY ISN’T THE LIGHTEST BROTHER ON THE BLOCK. A DAMN SHAME WHEN ARE OWN RACE HAS STIPULATIONS

THATS WHATS WRONG WITH ALOT OF BROTHERS THAT START TO GET MONEY. THEY WANNA GO OUT THERE AND GET THE FEMALES, THAT, LOOK NOTHING, LIKE THE WOMEN, THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE, FOR THEM TO BE THAT MILLIONAIRE, OR THEY ALWAYS LOOKING DOWN ON DARKSKINNED, FEMALES. I MEAN, YOU WANT WHAT YOU WANT, BUT DON’T SINGLE OUT DARK SKINNED FEMALES, AS IF THEY AREN’T BEAUTIFUL TOO. BUT, THESE SAME GUYS, WILL PUT, THAT SAME DARK SKINNED FEMALE IN HIS VIDEO, TO SHAKE HER ASS, BUT WHEN ITS TIME FOR THE DARK SKINNED FEMALE, TO DO SOMETHING HALFWAY RESPECTFUL, THIS IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH. DON’T GET ME WRONG, THERE ARE ALOT OF BEAUTIFUL WOMEN OF ALL RACES, AND ALL COLORS. I AM THE FIRST TO TELL YOU, I LOVE WOMEN PERIOD. DAMN THE RACE, OR COLOR. BUT COME ON DIDDY, TO SINGLE OUT DARK SKINNED WOMEN. THATS WRONG. AND WITH YOU BEING THE PERFECTIONIST, THAT YOU ARE, YOU CAN’T SAY, YOU KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT.

Lol, I cant believe how bent out of shape people are getting about this…its a casting call. I cant tell you how many casting calls i was turned away from because i wasnt white…Diddy obviously is a business man…he’s trying to market his vodka to white america. I think that the article is misleading and paints diddy in an unfair light…I mean its biased as hell why dont they post all the dark skinned women diddy has been with Naomi, Kim porter etc. give the man a break…there’s a reason he’s a billionaire and your not. for the record i love dark skinned women and I dont think Diddy is racist…far from it, give the man his due.

yall failed 2 mention that he doesnt want big gurls either. thats a shame. all my black sisters are beautiful dont let diddy’s lame ass throw yall off ya game

SELF HATE is very Powerful

Um i dont see this being a racist thing from him. It sux that this is how the media, commercial industry is. Everytime u see adds u see a lot of beautiful light skinned people. thats how these marketers see it. they want the most beautiful people in there to advertise, it sux that some of them do think that dark is not beautiful, but thas how it is. i dont see this as any way of diddy being a racist to his own kind. funny how the article says here is the girls he is been involved the only one that is dark is his baby mama. so i think he does like dark girls since he has one as a baby mama. thsi is just his advertising department and their ad, and as someone mentioned earlier they wanted tall, thin girls as well. so i guess heavier shorter girls should be upset as well. lets not throw more fuel to the fire on this whole race thing. everything is always about race. as mlk preached, lets bring peace together.

p.diddy, Diddy, Donkey kong…or whateva he calls himself…what you expect from someone that has no chin…I was wanting when this comes up, have you notice most of the women he worked with was mainly light…..hell he quit working with Mary J. Blige….to work with Faith….

i luv sexy chocolate sista’s

I’m not trying to be mean but….Diddy doesn’t really have room to be picky, he’s not exactly Denzel Washington in the looks department. Successful yes…but I don’t hear a lot of women putting him on the Sexy list. His swag stems from the fact that he is filthy rich. If he was an average joe….well, let me stop.

I don’t think it’s racist, just his opinion…but it makes dark skin feel like they aren’t attractive which is SO NOT the case. All women are beautiful.

it’s a shame to be color struck in today’s times.. i feel sorry for all the people who still jugde by color and size… a closed mind will never recieve knowledge.. diddy isn’t even important.. he looks like a flea… how is he going to tell someone they are to dark or they are to big so they can’t be in anything he produces? he needs to humble his self.. he may be on top now but God has away of opening folks eyes.. diddy betta hope his shallow eyes don’t go blind…

This is illegal under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. You cannot discriminate in employment situations due to color. If this is true, I would like to be the lawyer for the dark skinned mamis.

This is the same as African’s selling each other into slavery for profit. Now, Diddy with his black chipmunk looking arnse is
selling and degrading his own people. I’m glad Beyonce didn’t get involved with him.
He is a leachaerous user.

wow it’s amazing… now, is he asking for these particular gals for him to DATE??? OR, is there a specific need in this particular role for lighter skin women??

Even though the latter would be acceptable, either way, it sucks that us dark gals aren’t “as beautiful” in everyone’s eyes…. but short guys aren’t my preference sooo ummmm… yeah —would that be the same?

That’s how ugly people is. No matter how well he dresses, how expensive his jewelry is, he’s still ugly. And because he knows this, he’s unhappy with his dark skin, and thinks everybody that’s dark must feel the same way.
Well Mr. P Diddy (what ever you call yourself), I am a dark skinned woman. A beautiful dark skinned woman, and proud of it. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Oh yeah, by the way- did I mention that your black as hell? Didn’t wanna leave that out.

MsDarkNLovely30

size seven what girl that wears a size seven look healthy and good? ridiculous im 5’8 185 and hella fine! diddy is so up his ass he can taste the bullshyt he says

he just wants light skinned girls cuz he got all p&#$$y whooped when he got with J-Lo after her he wrote a million stalker I love you songs and now this BS not to mention all the girls he dated after the fact and now this! I HATE YOU DIDDY! and mostly because you hate yourself :P

: 0 that’s just sad.

I think dark skinned women are beautiful. That is exactly why light skinned women wanna be like us so bad. Besides diddy is black as hell! Dont forget it

Look at one of his other female friends ms.lil’kim an that would explain y shes so fuched up in the head(what color is she,an off white michael jackson).

Isn’t Kim a beautiful brown skinned woman who he made several kids with………..f**k diddy he just like most men who go out and fu** on a white women and light skinned black girls. Men kill we are good enough to be your house wife but not your trophy!!!!!!!!!!

lol Diddy a super hater

This isn’t about light skinned women trying to look like dark skinned women. We hold our own and are very happy in our own skin… thank you. If this man has a hang up about dark women… that’s HIS s**t… not ours. People need to get off this dark skin- light skin bulls**t. I am most happy with the color my ancestors passed on to me and nowhone can make me believe otherwise. Stop with the ‘ inferior, less than’ bulls**t. There happen to be many shades of Black and contrary to what some of you believe… BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL WHATEVER THE SHADE. Check yourselves.

Darkskin woman are UGLY in comparison to lightskin women.. I mean it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.. its plain as day… so ALL you ugly darkskin women better just kiss their feet or give up!!

He is an intraracist….Sad place to be for a Black Man. Well I guess you can’t be Black if you can’t love yourself. I’m sorry he is a shade slighter than Burple. right…….. He is toasted in my books.

who said diddy was with any of those girls aside from Kim and JLo?? Thats just tabloid propaganda..but even if Diddy didnt say himself “only light-skinned women”, his promotions team did and he’s responsible for it, so bad on him! By why aint no one mad at the height and weight prejudice too?? Hell I am!! Bad taste across the board Diddy! shame shame!

Okay tell us something we didnt already know

This is disgusting

look at these comments then yoll wonder why we date lightskinned women? talk bad on us but remember when lightskin brothas was in? plus blackwomen dont date broke brothas lightskinned sistas do!!

ok, diddy are you serious. i see we have not evolved from the whole light skinned is prettier bs. this is so sad and it encourages racial division. what do you say to the youth that you’re not good enough because you are dark skinned. to all do not buy into this stupid ass bs, and by all means don’t let this ignorance define who you are please. always consider the source evidently he has something thats making him hate himself and let us not forget he is a f**kin cornball. if it wasnt for money then nobody would like him. before someone says oh she must be darkskinned so she’s hatin no i’m not. i’m just sick of stupid s**t. grow up and read how this divided us and continue to divide us. f**k you diddy, stupid a*****e.

If it aint LIGHT.. then it aint RIGHT.

Darkskin women = UGLY
Lightskin women = BEAUTIFUL

Black as diddy is he should be glad to have a dark skin woman around. For those who are leaving these stupid remarks that dark skinned women are ugly need to look in the mirror. Black is beautiful and I consider myself as on beautiful BLACK sister and who ever don’t agree can kiss me where the sun don’t shine. Last but surely not least we are all beautiful in GODS sight and people need to realize that. I guess I should have expected something like this from diddy because from watching his shows on TV he seems to be very ignorant and this just proves it.

Internal racism, huh? This is the kind of story that makes me ill. While person cannot help the physical traits they are attracted to– or whom they fall in love with– Sean Combs/Ciroc is dead wrong to exclude our beautiful dark-complected sisters. I’ve personally had an affinity for dark-skinned women since I was a pre-teen, but all women, of course, are beautiful to me and should not be excluded or counted out, belittled. There are times when it is rational to call for something like this…this isn’t one of those situations. If Sean Combs needed an actress to play Dorothy Dandridge or Carol Channing: this would be acceptable. I’m a very moderate drinker but I feel that everyone of us should stand up and boycott/sanction Ciroc? and Combs. Remember that slavery– like “ghetto”– is also a state of mind.

O WELL I DON’T CARE HOW HE FEELS ABOUT DARK SKINNED WOMEN….I AM DARK SKINNED AND I LOVE MYSELF NO MATTER WHAT….DIDDY AND THE WHOLE INDUSTRY THAT HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT US DARKER WOMEN/PPL CAN KISS MY ASS AND MAKE PEACE WITH IT….HOLLYWOOD HAS A WHOLE HANG UP WITH DARKER PPL AND IT’S SAD…..BUT O WELL LIFE GOES ON AND I’M NOT GONNA STOP LIVING AND DOING ME BECAUSE OF IT……I AM A BEAUTIFUL BROWN/BLACK BUTTERFLY AND I LUV THE SKIN THAT GOD HAS BLESSED ME WITH….IF U DON’T O WELL U WILL GET OVER IT BECAUSE I HAVE…..

AND AS FAR AS U GO Nasty-Ian-69

U CAN KISS ALL OF US DARK SKINNED WOMEN ASSES AND SHUT THE F**K UP…..U MUST B INSECURE WITHIN URSELF AND HAVE LOW SELF ESTEEM TO EVEN TALK ABOUT A DARK SKINNED WOMAN…..GROW UP AND ET OVER URSELF…..THERE R SOME VERY BEAUTIFUL DARK WOMEN N THE INDUSTRY AND ON TOP OF THE GAME….U MUST B JEALOUS BECAUSE UR NOT ONE OF US BUT ANYWAY U B BLESSES BECAUSE I AM AND WILL ALWAYS B…..LIVE AND LOVE LIFE BECAUSE I DO AND GET OVER IT

ALL YALL DUMB! First of all it dont got a damn thing to do wit money, u i seen plenty of light skin n dark skin women date all kinds of men! so yall jus ignorant n yall need to stop talkin to so much light skin dark skin n jus talk beauty in general cuz i seen a whole lotta light skin women dat need a paper bag of their head as much as dark skin so all yall jus shuve dat s***

ALL YALL DUMB! First of all it dont got a damn thing to do wit money, u i seen plenty of light skin n dark skin women date all kinds of men! so yall jus ignorant n yall need to stop talkin to so much light skin dark skin n jus talk beauty in general cuz i seen a whole lotta light skin women dat need a paper bag over their head as much as dark skin so all yall jus shuve dat s***

I am 5/4 a size 12 dark skin and beautiful. It is sad that Diddy let a company and money own by white people let him do some BS like this. I can say one thing I will not buy another diddy product or this so call Vodka he is promoting.

Diddy seems cool and all but thats just flat out stupid, I personally loveeeeee dark skinned women!…line me up 10 dime ass women, Im takin the darkest one on site…lol

I really cant beleive this, this year 2009 and we still have that SLAVE thought of mind… WTF.,. Really without the dark skin women and men we would not be…. People wake up…. this is sad on so many levels, I dont really know where to start.. My heart ace for our people.

it’s a dam shame that when dark men get paID THEY
TREAT THIER SISTER LIKE SHE SUPPOSED TO BE THE MAID ,
CALL US W***ES AND TRICK THE PETROL, CLOTHES, AND WANT
TO GET LAID WHILE THEY TRY AND GO UP SIDE OUR HEADS MY
BROTHER ‘S WHO COMMIT THIS FRAUD YOU FIND NEW WAYS TO
DISRESPECT A NUBIAN , WHILE TRYING TO SET A STATUS QUO,
BUT DID’NT YA MOTHER TELL YOU A WHITE GIRL IS JUST A
PAMPERED INSECURE W***E…IT’S NOT THE COLOR OF THE
SKIN THAT MAKES YOU A WINNER IT’S THOSE GOLD DIGGIN FAKE
AS SISTER’S THAT KEEP YOU COLD.  THIS “SCHOOL DAZE” S**T IS REALLY OLD….I DON’T CARE WHAT YOUR PEFERENCE IS BUT WITH ALLTHAT DAM MONEY BUY SOME SENSE.STOP HATING ON THE NUBIANS……            

Why waste time even responding to this? Why does anyone care? He’s not paying your bills or putting food on your table, so what he thinks about anyone is of no importance or relevance… Why even argue? It’s wasted energy that could be put to use in much better ways than this… C’mon, people…

IS DIDDY SERIOUS IM NOT REALLY FEELING HIM WITH THAT BLACK ASS MAMMY HE GOT. HE CANT RAP ANYWAY DANCING MUTHAF**KA

This doesn’t surprise me. Too many ppl support him and purchase his music. Too many rappers feel the same exact way he does. We as the public don’t have to suuport these ignorant individuals and increase their record sales.

lol it’s funny how diddy don’t like dark skin females or use heavy set females but damn so how come he was on biggies back? talk about fat and dark.. come on diddy your full of it… diddy is a user…

I think for him to be the same race as myself..i honestly consider him to be a racist….It is not right for him to be this way…because when i look at him what do we see he’s dark skin….to be honest when we all turn the lights off we are all the same race……At this very moment I can actually say I cant support him as a artist anymore…..And i honestly feel im wasting my time even writing this because he’s not going to care anyways because i have noticed he’s to bull headed to know when he’s wrong….but he do need to apologize for this comment cuz its not right!!!!

I really dont give a DAMN about that ASSHOLE… He can LICK my P***y…. Im a Beautiful Black Women and doing good for me and mind… He can all the light almost White Hoes….

Diddy is darker that a paper bag but he only wants light skinned girls hmmm…… someone has issues, it just goes to show, money aint everything cuz you cant buy happiness or buy love for yourself

Im glad P. Diddy dont like dark skin women. He did me a big favor one less wankstar in my way of my beautiful black lady. All he did was show all women how shallow he really is.

I never had been a fan of diddy, nor have I supported him, but it’s sad that we have discrimination within our own race. Whether your a real light skinned person to a real dark-skinned person we still have one thing in common: We are African-American. But hey whatever floats his boat sinks mine. He is going to need us dark-skinned women one day

well of course he has to have sumbody light to shine on his black crispity crunchity crackly ass..lol..I’m a drk skinned sista myself..and to each his own..but diddy know damn well he wrong for that

where do i apply? lmao why trip? He doesnt care what anyone has to say. especially if you arent putting money in his pockets.

omg yall act like diddy’s the only one that favors light skinned women. thats most the black society!! just because he’s famous yalls takin it all out of proportion. light skin has been favored for years!! but women have their preferences too…DAMN.
but i still believe that all black is beautiful

Check my page out for the Willy Lynch laws. This is exactly what this slave owner described would keep us divided forever. create envy in a people and thus, gain control. wake up!

That’s cool cus dark girls are still beautiful and will never go out of Style. He can’t rap,sing or dance the only thing he good for is posing for the camera and his clothing line and all his makin the band groups only make it so far then he let them go wat kind of BS is that?

I just needed to interject a few plausible points:
1. This is an everyday thing, dark-skinned people being only attracted to light-skinned people an vice versa. This seems to only be an issue because it’s P.Shiddy. It’s a preference and we all have them..ice tea versus kool-aid.
2. It’s been a known fact that P.Shiddy is one arrogant butthole for a while now…so people stop acting brand new.
3. The only problem I have with this article is the connection between dark skinned women and Vodka….I dont see how a light skinned anyone could sell something faster than a dark skinned anyone. It’s liquid courage…either you want it or you don’t.
4. STOP POSTING DUMB ASS MESSAGES SAYING: ” WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE WASTING YOUR TIME RESPONDING TO THIS NONSESE…” and any of the like. Newsflash! You just contradicted yourself.
-Kris10

People like what they like…who is anyone to trash a person due to their preference? An article about not liking dark woman but isn’t the one woman with the most status “his baby momma” dark skinned? So how could he have issues with color just because he has a client with a particular look in mind?

I’ve learned 2 things in life:

1.) Either we do something wrong.

2.) Or we something people DO NOT like.

This is clearly a case of Sean doing something that alot of people DO NOT LIKE! Because HE DID NOTHING WRONG!

If that’s what he wants for his product, then he has that right. He wants women of size 7 or smaller, and of a lighter complexion to be the image of his product, it’s not different than being in corporate america, and not having visible tattos, or unshaven beards. Im speaking in principle here. Also you dont see fat women or men for certain markets, because it would appeal or sell for a profit.

f**k diddy

I think diddy is not comfortable with his skin colour, that is the reason why he goes for light skin girls, but the lighter the girls the blacker he looks next to them.

Kris that was funny as fuk!
______

I love the way how the posted Jennifer Lopez as a “lightskinned” woman- ooozing sarcasm!

And that Audrey O’Day chick or whatever her name is, looks horrific. If a person smiles and looks like a scareCLOWN then you already know. Damn.

You know what, I am not even a dark-skinned black woman, but this is STILL ONE more reason why I REFUSE to support this guy in any way.

No way.

!!!!!!!IM A LIGHT SKINNED FEMALE I WANT TO KNO SOMETHING DIDDY ARE U SAYING US BLACK FEMALES AINT S**T OR U JUST LIKE THEM LIGHT,REDBONE OR U JUST HAS SOMETHING AGAINST DARK SKIN FEMALES…….

I understand the concept of advertising but somethings shouldn’t be made public

As a beautiful DARK skinned female I agree, don’t trip over Mr. Diddy’s choice of light skinned females. He is only one of many blacks who is a perfect example that the Willie Lynch’s type of brianwashing would last for a good 300 years. And it was very effective no matter how rich and/or famous one becomes. In addition unfortunately, we still have a lot more years to go. For those of you who do not have a clue as to what I’m referring to, google Willie Lynch.

diddy is sooo sad his baby mama is dark so what the hell is he sayin and so is his twins and his mama there is nothin cute about him take away his money and fame he another nigga on the block and p.s i think he did have somthing to do with biggie murder

Tell Diddy to sent the Darkies my way…. I will take them off his hands… the darker the better :-)

Diddy is an idiot. Any girl who would work for $35/hr is not a real model anyway, he will get light skin hood rats.

Why are people allowing themselves to be used by this man in this manner? Diddy you sunk a new low this time.

im a dark skinned female and by diddy sayin that he need too look at his self wit his ugly blk ass u talkin about requirements it say light skinned but yo ass blk as nite (DIDDY U AINT S**T) JUST KNOW THAT !!!!!!!

i hope this didnt surprise anyone if so its b/c u have been livin under a rock. he is as shallow as they come and i feel sorry for his kids b/c they will turn out just like him and be a waist a flesh and blck skin just like him.

If he is allowed to blatantly discriminate against dark skinned black women, how will others be stopped in doing the same thing? I wonder if he has considered that his daughters and or mother could easily face discrimination based on their skin color and even him. I suppose he thinks he money has made him invincible. He will see that it hasn’t. And to think of the many dark skinned sisters, that contributed to his success…dirty louse.

All casting calls are ‘VERY CLEAR’ on their requirments…why would BP/Hello Beautiful try to make this bigger than what it is…anyone in the entertainment field knows that the agency hiring has a certain look they are seeking. Rather that is skin tone,height,weight,size, or talent ability, and if you don’t meet those than push on to the next ‘gig’. This is to make sure no ones time is wasted. Notice they also required the women to be over 5’7 and a size 7? Why wasn’t that the title?
‘Diddy wants you: as long as you aren’t a plus size’ or
‘Diddy wants you: as long as your not a midget’
So even being a ‘light skinned’ African American woman, the ‘size requirment’ would bar me from applying.
Didn’t stop to think that the woman he chose to be w/ and bare his children is of a darker skin tone??
Of all the things to be angry about this should be on the bottom of the list. All these grieved, and angry comments are coming from folks who are obviously (by your comments) not in the acting/modeling industry. For those that are this wouldn’t irk you, because you KNOW you have to roll with the punches. You can’t have thin skin in this industry. For every 100 no’s you get you’ll get 1 yes.

If this is the field you want to be in ladies; light,dark,tall,short,thin,or thick, old or young, GO FOR IT!!! You just can’t be discouraged by the ‘preferences’ or requirments of this ONE paticular ‘gig’.

diddy suck anyway! he a sel out. im light skinned and that fool couldnt touch it wit a ten foot pole and thats real! there ARE alot of beautiful choclate ladies out here!

He’s Gay!!!

He should be ashamed of himself as dark as he is. I hope dark skinned women are not offended by this, you shouldn’t want to be video hoes anyway.

Im light skinned but Im a african american woman all shades of color is beautiful god made us dat way. So that we may express ourselves!!! We must love ourselves first n never mind wat people say.

Bastard!!!Well I am proud of my dark skin and curves.

You know as someone who is a product of the generation who had to ride in the back of the bus, marched with Dr. King, and who took part in the civil rights movement, it really pains my heart that this is now a generation who is guilty of the very thing that Dr King and others fought against. This has become a generation who judges an individual by the color of his skin and not by the content of his character. SAD, SAD, SAD. Do any of you realize how ridiculous this makes us look as a race of people????? After all the years of struggling to be recognized, fighting for respect, trying to make a difference, the lives that were given for all this, and it still comes down to something so STUPID as the color of ones skin. I don’t know maybe this generation need something to fight for, something to struggle for, something to die for, and then maybe you all would find something better to do than engage in this nonsense.

WOWWWWW, if you guys have ever model before most of the casting calls are like that, and the mother of his Child is a black lady last time I checked, stop sweating the small stuff, this is business, when a Client ask for something you get it for them, thats modeling period blowing this thing out of proportion

hes a fag ass stuck up motha f**ker anyways obviously his momma a darkskined women if wasnt for her he wouldnt be here so not only is he insulting others but also his own momma

He’s just one of those dark skinned men who has issues with his own dark complexion. Sad sad sad.

I love my dark skinned complexion and Diddy can be phony acting. Dark skinned is sexy and love it. No complaints at all.

Props to smooththugin, he get’s it.. ; D

oh well to bad for them…wonderful for me!! lmao!!!!

i think he is spoiled rotten by his own success,which is understanding,he should feel fortunate and lucky to be where he is in this lifetime and ask himself”would any guy in my age area do things differently and better than I would,if given a chance.”

TO EACH HIS OWN………………

IF DATZ WHAT DUDE LIKES..DATS WHAT HE LIKEZ..EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN PREFERENCE…beanz

diddy has become a field negro, can’t call him a black man he only serve one race, and it’s not the black race. we really don’t need these type of people.and the only contribution they are making is more destruction to the black race. with their shallow thinking and greed. these people are not our role model’s.

IM NOT DARK AT ALL BUT I STILL BELIEVE THAT BLACK IS STILL BEAUTIFUL AND I PERSONAL THINK THAT P.DIDDY NEEDS A WAKE UP CALL BC HIS DARKER THAN A BROWN PAPER BAG

Looking at some of these comments… So sad. Too bad for them wonderful for me?! Really?? Is that your attitude against your own sistas?! No matter what shade their skin is – or yours. No matter how light you are, I’m sure someone in your lineage was DARK. It is so sad that SOME OF US are still “racist” against our own people. Light or not, at the end of the day you are still black and being lighter than someone else DEF does NOT make you BETTER. You feel the sting of racism just like the rest of us… So PATHETIC! We are so divided as a people… all these stupid little groups and s**t and I am SOOOO tired of it.

I can not stand this man, I mean, yeah, I am not surprised that he would make that request really not surprised, but he is going to pick who he wants anyway, so why state it in the requirements. I love how he listed White first, then Hispanic and then the light skinned sisters. Diddy, the clown if ever there was one.

He need to take a look in the mirror, his mama is dark skinned. he is feeding into the myth of black is not beautiful, shame on him, I understand if it’s his personal social preference, we all have a certain preference of whats attractive to us. But business is another matter, women are beautiful no matter what color, we all deserve the same respect and acknowledgment.

No one should make “light” of this (no pun intended). There is NOTHING funny about this. All I see is a “perpetual” cycle of ignorance and self hatred but many are too ignorant to see (and understand) it for what it really is. I am all for preference…can bot respect and appreciate it. However, many IGNORANT ass blacks feel a woman of darker and/or brown complexion canont be beautiful. I challenge them to look at beauties Kenya Moore, Keyshia Knight-Pulliam, Sanaa Lathan, Gabrielle Union, Nia Long etc. etc. Beauty does not come in one shade, hair texture, length or ethnicity. This has been going on since there was “house niggas”…it is time to move on as a people!!!!!

I love me a chocolate man… what the hell is wrong with him??? Black is beautiful no matter what the shade is… such a damn shame… I never have liked him.

wow thats pretty sad to hear because they’re are so many beautiful dark skinned
women and its just sad when our own black men can’t appreciate that beauty that all women of color exude! I’m dark skinned myself and i’m happy and in love with my skin so i dont have time to worry about diddy but its still sad to hear that!

If thats what he wants, fine.. But I think thats mad disrespectful disqualifying beautiful dark skinned women for a video oppotunity for whatever reason..

Diddy and his staff needs to keep in mind alot of these dark skin ladies are keeping his but in business..

I am so sick of these dark skinned men, trying to undermine the beauty of a dark skinned women. If Diddy has some self-hate issues, he shouldnt take it out on us. We are beautiful. I dont see puffy as a huge loss to black women anyway. sometimes the best thing a person can do for you…is to stay away. We can do much better without you!

Puffy is so pathetic. If he didn’t have money, none of these chicks he’s so infatuated with would so much as give his black ass the time of day or even a passing glance. P diddy, sounds like something a baby does in it’s diaper.

I think he is a very disrespectfu to many women and for myself.I think diddy should be sued/ And the aint very light his self so take a look at hisself BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL

For those that feel that we are blowing this out of proportion. Let me just run this by you. It’s not just about a casting call, it’s not just about what he prefers. What if this was a casting call from a Caucasian male. How insulting would this be then. What if it was a casting call that stated, no people of color need apply, can’t have kinky hair, a broad nose and any melanin in the skin. This just has taken us so far back as a people. For those that states he is just making his money. How far will we go to make a dollar. When is it so important to sell out by any means as long as some money is made. And as far as this being what the modeling industry does, it’s acceptable because we’ve allowed it for so long. Teaching our daughters that you have to be a size 1, have long hair and lighter skin to be what is considered beautiful. Diddy made this choice in discrimination. He has the upper hand on who he chooses. So he is the one supporting the European ideal of beauty. So yes some of us are upset. If we keep pretending like it is not happening then we won’t be able to make changes. How would you feel if your mother, sister or aunt went to apply for a position and she did not get the job because she is too dark to sit at the reception desk. This happens daily but it’s really sad when this is coming from one of our own men, especially one that is in the position to make a difference in the industry. I just hope that our young people wake up and take a stand, because we as a people are in so much trouble. We have no future, and yes maybe we do need something to fight for in order to wake up.

wow stop talking reckless

My sentiments on Diddy’s color selection made me wonder how his MOTHER feels because as black as he his we know she is not white. No disrespect intended toward his mother, but these black men need to remember who bore them, it is an insult to his mother and all African American women. I think it is sad when our own people disgrace our race, we get enough of that from the rest of the ethnic groups. I am of mixed race however my skin dictates I am a Proud Black Woman. You cannot change what you are ethnically Diddy so don’t hate on yourself or your MOTHER.

…I totally agree with u ladies on this one.
Me being a dark skinned woman was hard to except growing up because where im if u wasnt a ”lighter toned black girl” or just a strait up ”white girl” then u were critisized and teased. But as i got older i started to embrace my blackness and carry my head up high because my grandmother once told me”there’s nothing more sadder than a beautiful woman with an ugly soul”… ur looks and your skin tone dont define who u are as a person…your mind…your spirit and your pure essence defines you…Trust me i’ve stuck to those words of wisdom…i’ve met plenty of ”stuck up snobby light skin WITCHEZ but here they dont compare to us dark women…they might think they get all the men and attention or whatever else but us darker toned sistas is whatz happenin right now…and Mr. Diddy need to realize that…S**t, aint his Baby momma on the Darker side?? She probably got tired of his ”white washed ass” Hollywood got to his head and screwed him up….he forgot his ROOTS…dont get me wrong i like diddy and im not even close to being a ”racist” but am i the only one that see something wrong this picture??

IM NOT SURPRISED
BLACKS ARE PATHETIC I SWEAR

I wonder how pissed off would he be if someone told his “Dark Skinned Mother” she was too dark to audition for any project she wanted to……Hmmmm??

Well that means that I won’t be purchasing ANY PRODUCT that Sean Combs is promoting weather it be clothing, music, or like in this case liquor. He’ll be treated just like every other individual who uses discriminatory practices.

Alcoholics unite, boycott Ciroc.

But really, we should not be upset with what a self hating negro has to say about his darker kin. But just like Mike, one day he will need us, he will.

This is nothing new. I do not have curly hair as a man trying to get a part in a movie. In entertainment and marketing, exclusion is the rule rather than the exception. REJECTION is a fact of entertainment life. Only ordinary people, real lifers, have a problem with this light skin, dark skin issue.

As a beautiful dark-skinned woman I am truly offended by what I just read! Did this dick riding dude Diddy really have the audacity to say Dark Skinned girls need NOT apply? WOW! What year is this again? Isn’t it enough that we have to deal with all the discrimination from these caucasions on a daily basis? It really seems like money and fame will make a person forget just where they came from. Diddy should really keep in mind that no matter how much money he makes he can never escape his blackness!! It is what it is, just look at Michael Jackson, he’s been trying to do it for years and to no avail.
You’ve officially become a sell-out and a peasant in my eyes!! That comment was some REAL B***HASSNESS!! smfh

DIDDY IS WHAT YOU WOULD CALL A “NEGRO”…HE CAN’T BE A BROTHER CUZ HE STILL HATES A PART OF HIM SELF! TO SAY HE’S ONLY LOOKING FOR LIGHT TO WHITE CHICKS IS DUMB…AS IF THERE’S NO BEAUTIFUL DARK-SKINNED LADIES…SUCH AS MYSELF. WHEN WILL WE GET PASS THIS NONSENSE…THAT TO BE PRETTY YOU HAVE TO BE SIZE 7 OR SMALLER & LIGHT-SKINNED.? THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN DIDDY HAD EVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF DATING WAS KIM PORTER WHO IS A BEAUTIFUL CHOCOLATE WOMAN…HE BETTER RECOGNIZE. BUCK TOOTH BASTARD!

..It’s not about being bitter about the situation, it’z about equal opportunity!!
Ignorance is bliss and this whole campaine is very ignorant.

LMAO ok they said his management team put this letter out how sure are they that diddy had part in this one them geniuses probably put this out according to they taste and what they thought looked good and he did have part in that shts fuked up is your mother not dark hell nicca you dark LMAO

oh come on ya,ll dont hate on diddy he aperantly got a complex ,or the white man mite be tellin him he need more diversion sence he black(dark skinned)

Diddy just set us back YEARS with that! How bout if dark skin women feel they also need not buy his music, buy his clothes or his cologne???? SMDH

I stopped being a fan of Puffy, Puff Daddy, P.Diddy and Diddy a long time ago when he got rid of all his talented artists on his label a long time ago. (with the exception of B.I.G of course)

I understand the hostility of dark skinned women over this issue. However, to put this in the proper perspective, if any of you would look at an open call for models or other talent, the client is specific about the talent being sought. Everyone in the entertainment, talent search business knows that many will not meet the criteria for the job. Even talent will try out or apply for an audition knowing full well that they do not meet the criteria. And, some have succeeding in getting the job ANYWAY. So, in conclusion, this issue about skin color is being blown completely out of proportion to the industry in which it plays out.

wow that diddy for you !hes keepin it buisness dont be to surprise he face shows up on actual dollars bills !!!!
every one should know if it aint the diddy way its no way but he should lighten up lil stop being so self centered to certian degree and issues. i guess he figures the type he looking for will make his ciroc even more marketable but he must under stand that majority of colored folks including dark skin genders are supporting his ass buying his products from music to clothes ,cologne to liquer making his name
shine. he shouldnt be so closed minded like that as well as his company….or those invloved on this project diddy need to give other people the chance to excell & grow some us paper bag darker stone shorter stocky larger size are jus as beautiful.everyone not perfect model size but we all aint closed minded. i hope he knows that like mad rude to even say darker tone need not apply. i may not be size 7 or 5.6 but i sure aint walking with paper bag over my face diddy do us all favor stop the bs grow they hell up!
hollywood not all got you baby your house may be diddywood but this is reality remember you have kids and im sure you would not like any your kids be rejected cus the tone of there skin or the fact that there your kids.. i wish u mad luck but stop being so dayum stubborn.show some us every day average real models some love im not tallking bout super model image .

How the Hell,dose this nigga not want dark skinned women,when his ass Black as hell.funny.lmao.

what such apparent lack of tact! i mean, you know what you want, but do you have to belittle people like that? Black on Black racism is worse than white on black racism

Diddy have some nerves to talk about dark skinned women. His baby mama and his kids are dark skinned. I am very offended about what was said “Dark-skinned girls need not to apply.” I am a sexy beautiful women that have same advantages as light skinned women. He dont know that dark skin is wat up now days. Mens are not looking at light skin women like they do dark skinned women. I should apply just to show off all my assets. I got them just like light skinned women just bigger and better. Darker the berry sweeter the juice…….Holla at ur girl.

This is what self hate look like with MONEY & SO-CALL POWER. This is a classical example of the effects of slaver on our minds. We the “BLACK COMMUNITY” put bad boy’s record and bad boy South records “ALL HIS ARTIST”, Sean Jon, and Ciroc on the MAP. We have support him from day one of his business. This is how YOU Mr. Combs treat your fan base your PEOPLE? This is TOTAL disrespect coming Mr. Combs. How many jobs do you created for your people Mr. Combs or do you ship them to the West Indies for slave labor? WE NEED TO STOP SPENDING MONEY WITH MR COMBS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING HE OWN OR INDORSE AGAIN. Until we STOP this maddest people like Mr. Combs will keep on doing the same crap.Where is Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on this our so-call social justice activist?

i’m not offended because his most famous baby mama is black so no cares that’s a big joke to me

P. Diddy should be banned from the entertainment industry by the public. All Blacks esp. women should stop buying anything that he promotes or allegedly manufactures. He has embarassed all Black people with this idiotic decision.

THAT’S SELF DISCRIMINATION FOR YOU! HOW DUMB AND IGNORANT IS HE FOR MAKING THOSE REQUESTS. YOU CAN’T BE DARKER THAN A PAPER BAG? (OH PLEEZ) LOL

i’m not offended because his most famous baby mama is dark skinned (the model kim) so no cares that’s a big joke to me and i am a dark skinned chick but i’m still what’s hot lol

I’MA A DARK SKINNED SISTAH WHO GOT MEN TRYING TO HOLLA AT ME EVERYDAY. I DON’T EASILY BRUISE OR GET SUNBURNED. I HAVE A NATURAL TAN. PEOPLE PAY FOR ON A DAILY BASIS. P DIDDY IS AN A HOLE AND I DON’T LIKE HIM SINCE MAKIN THA BAND. I BE DAMN IF I WALKED FOR A F ING CHEESECAKE. DIDDY CAN KISS MY CHOCOLATE BOTTOM.

Aw darn…all my dreams of being a Ciroc model for P. Diddy are crushed just because my daddy got some dominant hella black-azz genes. Lol. I refuse to be offended by somebody that did a Proactiv commercial.

This s**t is so ridiculous that I’m not even gonna comment on that lame s**t. How in the hell can the pot call the kettle black?

Did anyone else notice the model in the ad above is almost as dark as diddy???? i think that voids this whole conversation.

yea hes wrong for that one hes not light bright his dame self

I FEEL A LIL OFFENDED CUS THE REQUIREMENTS R “SIZE 7 OR SMALLER” I MEAN WTF IS WRONG WIT A SEXY PLUS SIZE CHICK Y DOES EVERYTHING HAVE 2 B SKINNY DIS N SKINNY DAT? DAMN ITS ALL GEWD CUS A REAL MAN LIKE MEAT ON HIS BONES N A REAL MAN KNOWS THE PLUS SIDES OF A SEXY BBW, AND THE DWN SIDES 2… BUT THE GEWD OUT WEIGH THE BAD…

Ohhh kayyyy…. First of all, some of you are so ridiculous with the grammar and word phrasing…thank God Diddy isnt asking for intellectual women. LOL (i.e.)Yeahhhhh, dark-skinned is NOT a gender. I mean WTF? Alrighty, and why is every woman freakin’ the hell out and talking about what they oughta do? He’d probably still tell you all to sit your asses down some where, because you broads can’t READ THE SIGN! Look Im not light and Im not dark, but IM sure I wouldnt fit the criteria, and who gives a damn? If this were a casting call for Suntan lotion and the add said,’ No pale white women or minorities apply,’ no one would give a damn. Well, personally Im tired of beautiful brown skin tones reppin’ the latest McD’s sandwich or alcoholic beverage ANYWAY!! So just let the light skinned chicks have their moment. Diddy isnt stupid..Theres a reason why he doesnt have kids with all the random light coochie that Im sure is tossed at him. He seems to know very well the benefits of “dark meat!” So calm DOWN!!!! LOL

Most of you never heard what Tommy Hilfiger said about blacks and you continued buying his clothes. Diddy is no longer black, he is now a millionaire.

Who cares. I don’t. I didn’t buy his products before, I’m not his target market, young fools.

it not a big deal to me its buisness never personal im a dark skin female and i dont need diddy or anybody to tell me that im am not beautiful i look in the mirror and i love what i see everybody is not going to like me as long as i love me thats all that matter im not gone focus on b.s.

If puffy’s faux pas ticked you off, then this shall surely have you tickled pink! Enjoy my lovelies! MUAH!

http://celebslam.celebuzz.com/2008/09/diddy-dog-s**t.php

i need 2 get there!!! LOL

Phuck him….he’s a little simp azz brother who think the sun rises and sets on light skinned women, whites and latin females. This “brotha” acts like he a dime him self with them rabbit azz teeth. I’m not a dark skinned black woman and I still think he’s phucked up like the rest of these lame azz brother’s who can’t appreciate a real black women. Black women have a hard enough time as it is then you get these lames that sterotype us with the rest of this ignorant society and it makes it worse. Black women are already at the bottom without punk azz brothers like Sean making it worse. Shyt….dark skinned black women like Ciroc!!! The fact that he is a dark skinned black man that has a “celebrity” status you would think he would stand up for dark women……

LMAO He need to quit

This is exactly why people of the African-American race can’t prosper. Black is beautiful. Look at Diddy. I’m sorry but he ain’t the lightest peach in the orchard!!! When people get ahead in life, instead of encouraging others to do the same, they move ahead and don’t look back. Boy yo mamma is Black! Why would you allow people to place stipulations like that. They want “dark-skinned women” to purchase their product, but we can’t adverise it. Ain’t that about a b*@#&. Aretha Franklin sang it the best “RESPECT”. Learn it, Like it Live it!!!

well actually if you look at all of his pictures for this ad campain you will see that he has women of different skin tones. He was jus probabily looking for models with a certain look for a certain of photoshoot. Even though i don’t agree with so called outcasting any skin tone

Diddy is crazy, why he of all people gotta play the skin color game. He black as hell himself. Me being a dark skinned sister think I’m just as cute as the lightskinned. What does coloor of the skin have to do with anything, their just models. Puffy is a punk, I bet his mom was dark skinned I guess she could’t be in the commercial either.

everyone women is beautiful queens dark light skin

um diddy dude ur dark skin

Meh, it’s Diddy. Let him have his preferences, let him indulge his escapism. He’s not the only content producer out there. There are a lot of women doing quite well for themselves regionally or nationally through independent modeling/acting sources who aren’t held back by skin tone. Beautiful dark skinned ladies, do your thing IN SPITE of folks like ‘Diddle’.

Wow, It’s a BLACK OUT! LoL SHDH

diddy wack n e ways…yea he big and doin whatever but if he keep his attitude up like that God will put him in his place… i’m proud to be my brown skin cause cant no man out there say that i’m not as pretty as the next white blk or hispanic female… forget diddy and his foolish @#$

Well colour is not really nothing to me i will still date any colour but when it comes to light girls o love my light colored girls especially whites and Spanish XD

diddy iam i dark-skinned just wanted your opinion dont worry about what other ppl say diddy you have your requirements and you kno wat you want n who r they to talk you r running your business not them

this is what im talkin bout…DIDDY!! LOL

He can be sued for that….its discriminatory towards dark skinned women…i f**kin hate that…i hate when light skinned girls or people for that matter act as if they they’re so much better than us just because they’re that close to being white but they’re still considered black. i hate when they say ‘im not black im brown’ you’re brown? what do u put on your job application when it asks if you’re african-american? u put other? i know plenty of dark skinned girls who are way sexier than any light skinned girl i’ve known. please believe that. f**k off diddy!!

This is the exact type of thing that young women see and grow up to hate themselves based on their color, then want to bleach their skin because someone in the media thinks their skin color is not beautiful enough. Although yes this is casting call for an alcohol and we should be glad that black women aren’t promoting liquor, Diddy is a mogul and can control whatever he endorses. He is putting forth the image that not all women is accepted and he should be the first man to promote all shades of color being a black man of darker skin. It’s a disappointment and a shame that black people continuously are putting each other down directly and indirectly instead of lifting each other up.

ok…diddy shouldnt let public opionion sway what he wants for his business. However, at what point will the prominent blk men in the media give us blk women our props. I mean if our own men dont find us beautiful, WTH?!?!? I just irritates me to nooooooo end.

As black as his mama is with that blonde weave that she needs to stop wearing, you’d think he coulda squeezed out more than one brown/dark skinned sista other than Kim Porter just out of respect for his black mama and black self. I believe he got issues being as blk as he is cuz Diddy was around when lightskinned men were in, and I think he’s “Damaged” by it.

After saying all of that, I hope he gets over it one day and learns to love the black skin he’s in. Shii****, he really aint got no choice

Puffy like so many other black men in holly wood is color struck. So is Jamie Foxx and a host of other men.Funny thing is most of these men come from mothers who are dark skinned!Talk about self hatred! So typical Puff and hes been called out for similar thing in past!

I suppose it won’t matter because any woman that gets with him will be beat and cheated on like the rest!

F**k Diddy….He’ll never get another dime out of me again…..as black as he is he shouldn’t be discriminating any race, we all know Dark skin women (including myself) looks better than any light skin chick

That’s sad that he doesn’t find an interest in women that’s the same complexion as his own mother:( I’m done supporting him with my hard earned dark-skinned money!!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t get yourselves worked up over this article…it isn’t worth it.

Why all the hate!!! It’s his money & he can do with it what he pleases. Have y’all ever thought that the reason he doesn’t want to employ dark-skinned women is because, to him, they probably have done something to him. Like that B.M. of his… R. Kelly said that one man could make one woman hate all men. If that’s true, why can’t it be true for men, & then why couldn’t it be true to one type of woman?

YEAH DIDDY KEEP ON GIVING ME REASONS NOT TO LIKE YA STUPID AZZ
HE JUST KEEPS GETTING MORE AND MORE STUPID AS THE DAYS GO BY..LOL

DESSHON…BECAUSE DARK ISN’T A TYPE IT’S A SKIN TONE…YOU CAN’T ACT DARK SKINNED…HOW DUMB WOULD THAT BE TO JUDGE ALL DARK SKINNED WOMEN BASED ON ONE??

he is a f**king clown because how can u discrimante on dark skin women what if people say that they dont want him to do commericals because he was dark skin he would not be happy at all so i dont thing that it is right

ok way do he still have a t v show.after datin aubrey one of the girls on his tv show.ok way he only like lilttle white girls.because his dick is very lilttle.with big balls.

so that mean he don’t like his little twin girls they are black as hell.if i was kim i would make him pay for the s**t that go down the drain.

I bet if I rounded up some of my dark-skinned sistahs to get up on that ass, I bet he’ll let them audition….

HOW ABOUT BOYCOTTING CIROC !!! ALL DARK SKINNED PEOPLE & THOSE WHO DISAGREE WITH HIM SHOULD STOP PURCHASING CIROC . PLAIN & SIMPLE.

How can diddy discriminate against darkskinned women because how is getting 50%profits for promoting vodka brand I am outraged it this.somebody should sue him for discrimination.If a darkskinned women has done somthing in the past to him.He does not have the right to discriminate against them we have to love our darkskinned women!!

I don’t drink at all, He does what he does, I just wouldn’t do that for the matter. I could careless anything about what he does, I just have to do me.

He’s just mad cause’ he can’t dance anymore.

I’m sure Diddy didnt plan out the commercial or the casting call. We are always jumping to conclusions when we arent on the inside…
and even if Diddy himself specified that he only wanted racially ambiguous people than that’s on him… I’m not offended because I love my chocolate skin and I dont need anyone else to love it for me. I got it.
Diddy can date or sleep with whoever he wants to.. that’s his personal decision.
and finally.. guys… can we stop commenting ignorantly on these things… it looks and on u.

playnwitcha by the time tommy hilfiger made his racist comments black fashion had moved on from his wack clothing. I liked when Jay z unofficially banned krystal (because the owner said he dident want blacks drinking his liqour)..you see no one drinks that shyt anymore lol. That just goes to show you that the black community is a powerful force and we can make or break niccas if we stick together.

If PEOPLE would comment alittle bit more on these issues we would have this problem…DUH.

we wouldn’t have this problem…

This is a damn shame!! At a time when we should all be sticking together, this bs comes out. All black women and men of all skin shades are beautiful!! If this is true, I will no longer be supporting anything of Diddy. I’ve always thought that he was an intelligent brotha but I’m starting to reconsider after hearing this.

I totally agree with you JJ_lawva01 and just about everyone else. He shouldn’t be discriminating against any shade because his ass isn’t light skinned his damn self therefore he must have an issue with his own damn complexion also.

Me personally i could care less about the who skin color issue but what i do care about is the size 7 and under i mean wha the fucc is up with that diddy needs to have some bbw in his shyt hell ask luda

Yeah, I hope Diddy didn’t have anything to do with this casting call. I don’t know, maybe he did. If so it’s sad. Black folks discriminating against black folks. That’s just sick, especially considering the disparities that we still suffer in this country today, even WITH a black president.

i FEEL SO SORRY FOR HIM TO BE SO SMART AND SO STUPID AT THE SAME TIME,ITHER YOU ARE APART OF US ALL OR YOU ARE A PART OF NONE!

i wont be buying any thing else of diddy dang dummy if this s**t is true.

ok ya’ll know diddy aint racist against dark skinned people I’ve seen them in his ads before..maybe for this particular project we wanted lighter to fair skinned people…so what it’s his money let him hire who he chooses..moving along already!

f**kin ass hole

I LOVE BEING A DARK SKIN GIRL. IF I WAS IN A ROOM FULL OF LIGHT SKIN GIRLS…WHO DO U THINK WOULD STAND OUT THE MOST? THE DARK SKIN GIRL! IT’S OK DARK SKIN IS BACK IN!..SO DIDDY GET WIT IT!…BUT I CANT BE MAD AT THE MEN HE IS DOING HIS THING!..MONEY TALKS PEOPLE!…. SO LISTEN!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMUI34FlvjI&fmt=18

Wow! Public Relationship for Mr. Diddy is working over time and much more. Not a smart move and you fired!

This is the most sickening crap I’ve heard of in my life!!! Except when Superhead hinted that Pdiddy’s butt looked like it had a tractor trailor pulled through it…. LOL
“Mr. Bently please back up”!!! ROTF

No I really believe that it’s a form of self hate to discriminate against your own race… We go through a lot as it is…

Racism is still alive and kicking and it’s evidient when crap like this is allowed!!!

Check this out ladys!!! Drop up to 3 sizes in 10 minutes..

I don’t care what or who his management company is asking for, I she how the woman looks he chose to birth his children. Plus, I also know what his mother looks like, and I know he loves his mother. Business is business and a dark skinned b***h thinks she got what it takes then she better get her ass down there and give it all she got

This brother felt different..check what he poetically said about this self hatred mater.

i think thats messed up, because we as black people are always tring to work hard to make it in this life and he (P.Diddy) was apart of that group and is also a dark skinned man. my question is how do u have racism within our own race? ( yes i know this subject is not new),but my point is that this a black man who is doing very well for himself; but he’s refuses to give a dark skinned black woman a job. WTF… happened to some support from the EEOC. PEOPLE PLEASE TELL WHATS WRONG WITH THIS MAN ? you can’t preach the word to your people about helping ourselves or each other when you can’t do it yourself, but i quess its a “do as i say not as i do ” thing with him thats just how i feel but then again when you have enough money to hire someone to wipe your ass with hundred dollar bills ( who knows maybe he gave that job to the dark skinned girl ) i guess some rules get bent

Huge issue of violating federal and state laws prohibiting discrimination; there’s no bona fide reason to restrict this to white/hispanic/light skinned African-Americans; no bona fide reason to place a height restriction; no bona fide reason to place a weight/garment size restriction; no bona fide reason to exclude Asian or Pacific Island or Native American women.

Then there’s the issue of the same race discrimination that is something very few want to talk about let alone eliminate; until that is done there can never be any real progess in combating overall racism.

Of course dark skinned people will be the first to rush out to buy the product being endorsed because they have no common sense and laugh at the blantant racism and exclusion thrust upon them.

At this point Diddy can’t say diddly to “fix” this mess. And btw last time I checked he wasn’t Mr. Lite Brite himself. Damn I hate when the blackest of men go for the lightest/whitest they can find and act like women who look like them aren’t any good; guess they don’t love their mamas either ’cause they “too dark to be pretty”.

Now dats mess up because some of our dark skinned women are some of the sexiest woman out here, but hell if you odn’t want them send them this way.

Its funny..he dont want the blackwoman around, but I bet like hell, he wants that blackwoman to buy his drink. To hell with CIROC..Black people spend $2.7 billion on drugs and alcohol(per year). He knows this. His drink is earmarked for us. He’s the whitemans slave. Hes being used to keep us where we are..Drunk, confused, ashamed of being dark. Nothing Diddy does equals enlightenment for us..Just shake your ass, and get drunk…..
When the jews seen him hanging with the grassroots, they pulled him away and gave him money to stay away from black.. Hell he was sitting with many black leaders, then he did the ole OBAMA thing…SIDE STEP black issues to be close to our slave masters children. SAME with Jay-Z…Queen latifah. 50 cent..They ALL were given big money, and if they speak for their own, guess what…They will lose their deals.

the only way to let diddy know our displeasure with him , is to tackle his pockets, boycott his clothes, his perfumes and colonges, his record labels, and artist, and boycott the companies that he is representing. he must have a lot of self hatred for himself, he is as dark as a runaway field slave.

Its funny how he don’t want a darkskinned women but don’t he see that his baby momma is dark just like his tack head ass??? Diddy is not all that cute anyways with his tight ass clothes on. I really don’t care for him and if it wasn’t for Biggie, Diddy wouldn’t be where he is at now. Or atleast not this large. He need to stop hating.

It takes a real man to recognize true beauty, and I have been told all my life I am pretty for a dark skinned woman, but who cares if u are light or dark, if u are pretty you are pretty, but it just goes to show u how prejudice people are in our own race. He can kiss my black ass!!

He can Kiss my Black ???, but it takes a real man 2 recognize real beauty!

Yeah, I’m bit taken by this but the only way to show and teach him and other celebrities like him both male and female is to not support them what so ever…

Diddy you know you are wrong for that ,you are perpetuating a ignorance that is long standing from slavery ,but to me it’s like the pot calling the kettle black. Peace Out!

Single2Mingle08, AJyAnt1, 1st_Born_LEO, Jauharah and others I am with you on what you say. This has got to be joke, P Diddy, a dark black man? Come on! Now I am a light skinned sista and I embrace my heritage and all those that fall within it and I can’t believe that P Diddy would lower himself to such a level. My people never cease to amaze me on how low some of them can go. Doesn’t he realize “Black is beautiful and it is so beautiful to be black?” What is wrong with this brotha? P Diddy lost me a long time ago though, he is so weak. I am sure that Biggy is turning in his grave on this one.

WOAHHH DIDDY U NEED TO CALM THE F DOWN CAUSE YOUR DARK SKIN ASS HELL..OMG..YOU WANNA PLAY DARK SKIN WOMEN, HHAHA THATS GOOD..CUZ YOUR DOING US A BIG FAVOR ANYWAY CUZ US DARK WOMEN OF COLOR OBVIOUSLY TO YOU HAVE BETTER CLASS THAN ANY OF THEM LIGHT SKIN CHICKS YOU DEALING WITH..

He didn’t want dark skinned women cause you can’t buy that s**t with a food stamp card. It would of sent the wrong message.

Sean ya mammie is black as HELL,Tell that critter she need not apply to that blond wig she always wearing.YA MAMMAIE never displayed true beauty so he hasnt had a clue Puff daddy if u knew better u would do better

Wow is all that I can say. It doesn’t surprise me. Just look at everything he’s already done. Has anyone one ever watched any of the Making the band? (Or his bootleg show of the Apprentice?) You have one hot album maybe two then we never hear from you again. And I still haven’t gotten over how he made the first cast of MTB walk and get him some cheese cake! (It wouldn’t have been me!) Diddy (or whatever he’s calling himself this week) always sells more c.d.’s then anyone on his label. What type of B.S. is that?! Now dark skin women aren’t even good enough! I agree we should boycott everything he’s doing. If we’re not good enough to be in his promo then we’re not good enough to buy his clothes, music or whatever else he’s doing! What kind of message is he sending to us and our children that black isn’t beautiful? What does he tell his children about the color of there skin. It’s funny because they don’t want people like him. Diddy skin is dark! It’s time we take a stand and let Diddy and everyone know we’re no longer going to spend our money on corporation that don’t think were good enough! I’m from the South and we have a lot of sayings. I’m sure that you’ve heard this before. The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice!

Some people just forget where they came from, and Diddy is just one of them, not only does this shows what he thinks about dark skin woman but it’s a slap in the face to his mother(who gave hin life) and his baby mother which both are dark skin woman, All I can say is I will not support him or Ciroc again! Diddy has lost it with this one!!

So what now his daughter’s are not that light will he dislike them and does he dislike himself because he’s not all that bright light so please don’t go there.

who cares did sucks anyway and he cant even keep the groups he has together this the only way he’s going to make money and who CARES ABOUT BLACK MEN ANYWAY!!! he is a perfect example of a waste of time

Hello Beautiful Family:

With The Utmost Truth and Happiest Heart of Love Embedded Within Me, I am not by far disappointed, hurt nor upset with this company’s direction, nor with Shawn Puffy Coombs alias P. Diddy’s want to participate. Why, because he as we all are in control of our own direction. FATE does have its way in every step of our individual selves – pay attention to the creed of FATE!!!

However, I put forth the question to anyone who has a taste for something THAT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THEMSELVES during the process of Bleaching Away One’s Color, Straightening Of The Hair, Wearing Straight Dead/Flank Hair, Dying The Skin (any all parts now), Change (cut away), etc (this list is too enumberable to go on) The True Self: Where and When are you going to appreciate what you are RIGHT NOW ???

Bring the problem back home sistahs and brothers in this – let’s not point fingers, rather realize our play in this – EACH!!!

“That person you call beautiful, not having big lips, dark skinned, big buggy eyes – that is contrary to you (Mr. Coombs and the likes), has been named beautiful (granted folks beauty is beauty)…yet, when you can’t see yourself JUST as beautiful then you have a deep mental issue with yourself. Don’t feed me this crap about “beauty being in the eye of the be holder” – WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL – HELLO!!!

Look in the mirror and LOVE what you see – YOU AS YOU TRULY ARE!!! NOT HOW YOU THINK YOU ARE – NOT HOW SOMEONE ELSE SEES YOU!!! WITHOUT ALL THE FACE PAINT, THE GLITTER & GLAMOUR OF AN ELUCID MORAGE and INITIATE YOUR BEING INTO YOUR TRUE SELF….DIVINE LOVE!!! The way you came from mother is the same way you shall return to mother – WITHOUT ILLUSIONS!!!

Those who gain upset with this casting call, are just that gaining upset WITH THEMSELVES. No one has the power to control what you think, believe and what YOU BRING INTO YOUR ESSENCE, so don’t receive things with an attached thought!!!

At the end of the day, those who participate will still be as they are – yet you will not. Be not bothered by someone else’s choice. Know your own direction and say thank you to The Most High for teaching you the way to love yourself as you are – not as someone/society thinks you should be!!!

Much Props To Dr. Malachi Z. York – for his continued inspiration and teachings of TRUE BEAUTY!!!

NTR ~ SKHM ~ Hauhet ~ Kim

Ask yourself this: Does this particular casting call, for some odd reason, require light complexions or is he “shopping” for a new girlfriend???

Either way it would sucks that it closes opportunity for darker women. It also implies that darker women aren’t as beautiful…. but that’s neither here nor there…….

The point is, there’s no point in attacking him personally if this isn’t a “personal” thing… If it’s solely professional then attacking is being very petty…y’all read that “he’s looking for light women” and immediately got in attack mode….

Im not his “asdvocate”, fan, nor do i have one of his CDs….I just want to encourage folks to use some critical thinking….

Not only do i not care if he likes dark skin women for his personal relationships, i don’t think he ‘hates’ us either…at least it can’t be determined from THIS article…

And this is coming from a dark skin chick…. :)

House niqqer!

That disrepect othis babies moms as well.Hes a sucker I officially hate Diddy. No balls to stand upp and say get me a dark skinned women.This is what has these light skin women thinkin they ae better than darker women.Diddy is a…..Beside black women dont need to promote liquor anyway please.Vodka aint Afrikan in fact the people that own it once again help lead to our destruction f**k Didddy and his vodka SUCKER

Damn. This black-as-the-ace-of-spades knee-grow suffering from the “Nothing Darker Than a Paper Bag” Syndrome? What, P-Dummy, no mirrors in your house?Homie just hasn’t had his N****r-Wake-Up call yet. Give it time.

YO DIDDY.. YOU NEED TO CORRECT YASELF AND YA LIQUER COMPANY YOU DEAL WITH,,,YOU DARK… YA MOMMA DARK.. AND YA KIDS.. YOU SENDING THEM AND THE WORLD THE WRONG MESSAGE MOFO..

hey 1beautyinsideout, that was farout ur message. never heard put that way before. rock on

WELL THEY ONLY LOOKING FOR THOSE GIRLS BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE A DARK SKINNED GIRL. THEY ARE PICKING ONE GIRL OF EACH SHADE FOR HIS CIROC CAMPAIGN..SOMETIMES THE MEDIA BLOWS THINGS OUT OF PORTION. DIDDY GOT THE REAL STORY FOR YALL…GO TO HIS TWITTER.COM/IAMDIDDY

I WILL NEVER DRINK UR WACK A… CIRCOC AGAIN. DID YOU FORGET WHAT U LOOK LIKE?!!! DARKER THE BERRY SWEETER THE JUICE LOVE…

lol maybe diddy called old MJ for a few skinnbleaching and chamber sleeping tips

SMH..Msgoddess2, what’s the problem sweetheart? Has every man you’ve dated left you for a dark skin sister?….You’ll be alright, you just need to relax, relate and breathe.

I know that is not the case when he and his momma is dark so ppl need to stop judging ppl and let things be, And if that is his preference good for him his loss. DAMN!

shyt i thought tha nigha was gay

diddy dark ass hell putting his own race down and see if people boycotted his s**t then he would understand he aint all that never has been. yeah thats it a has been.

I JUST CAN’T BELIEVE HE WOULD SAY SOMETHING SO DAMN STUPID. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED. IF YOU PREFER NOT TO DATE DARKSKINNED WOMEN THAT’S FINE BUT NOT WANT THEM TO MAKE MONEY AND HELP THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR SKIN COLOR IS A WHOLE OTHER ISSUE. IT”S REALLY SAD WHEN WE A BLACKS TREAT EACH THAT WAY. IT’S ENOUGH BEING BLACK AND NOT GETTING THE JOB YOU QUALIFY IN WHITE AMERICA. BUT INSIDE YOUR OWN RACE IT’S EVEN WORSE. DARKSKINNED DON’T GET DOWN LIKE THE WHITES AND HISPANIC AND LIGHT SKINNED WOMEN WHO SOMETIMES ACT LIKE THEIR WHITE. WHAT IS IT, THEY AREN’T SO FAST SO FALL ON THEIR KNEES OR JUMP INTO BED WITH YOU. I DON’T GET IT. THERE ARE JUST AS MANY BEAUTIFUL DARKSKINNED WOMEN IN THIS WORLD IF NOT MORE THAN SOME PALE ASS WHITE GIRL AND DEFINETLY SOME HISPANIC WHO PROBABLY SWAM OVER HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I HAVE SEEN THOSE COMMERCIALS AND THOSE FEMALES ARE NOT ALL THAT. YOU NEED SOME COLOR. BUT I GUESS BECAUSE YOU’RE SO DAMN DARK YOU NEED TO BE SEEN WITH SOMEONE LIGHTER SO THAT YOU CAN BE SEEN. OTHERWISE WHAT YOU’LL BE IN THEIR SHADOW. YOU HAVE ISSUES. THAT’S ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH TODAYS SOCIETY BLACK GET RICH AND THE FIRST THING MOST OF THEM DO IS GO MARRY A DAMN WHITE GIRL OR SOME RACE OTHER THAN A BLACK WOMAN BECAUSE SOMEWHERE IN THE DEEPEST PART OF THEIR SMALL BRAINS SOMEONE TOLD THEM THEY WOULD GO FURTHER IF THEY DID THIS. BLACK WOMEN ARE THE THINGS WHITE WOMEN ARE NOT. YES WE ARE BECAUSE WE’RE BETTER AND WE DON’T PUT WITH YOUR S**T AND ALL THOSE OTHER TROLLS JUST FALL ALL OVER THEMSELVES. BUT IF YOUR ASS WAS JUST PLAIN BLACK AND BROKE THEY WOULDN’T GIVE YOU THE TIME OF DAY IF YOU ASKED THEY WOULD RUN THE OTHER WAY.

I HATE TO SAY IT BUT DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE MAY BE UNDER PRESSURE TO PRODUCE A PROFIT HE MAY BE TRYING TO REACH A SPECIFIC TARGET GROUP THAT HE FEELS WILL BUY HIS PRODUCT WHICH IS WHY HE NEEDS THOSE TYPE OF WOMEN. I HATE TO ADMIT THAT LIGHT SKINNED WOMEN ARE MORE PREFERRED BY MAINSTREAM SOCIETY BUT THEY ARE. ITS PROBABLY WHY ALOT OF THEM ARE STUCK UP AND THINK ITS ALL ABOUT THEM. WHAT HE DOES IS FOR PROMOTION AND I DONT THINK REFLECT WHO HE REALLY IS. HIS CHILDREN AND HIS WIFE DO THAT FOR HIM.

Well Piss Diddy, this dark-skinned girl won’t bother buying your cd with my green money.

U know what diddy dummy is foul any way cause that is exactly what he was a dummy b4 he got discovered or should i say cheated his way to the top I still say he had something to do with biggies death and i wont take it back and last but not least hes black his damn self no one would give him the time of day if he did’nt have money he’s foul he’s not only discriminates against dark skinned girls he descriminates against thick girls as well I submitted a singing video to him and I knew I would not make the cut not because I could not sing but because he just dont like dark or heavier women and that’s his choice but when you start being openly sexcist and hurting people then it’s a problem something is seriously wrong with him no doubt and I THINK SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE SAID AND DONE ABOUT HIS NASTY WAYS. MrsMinkchocolate and if he dont like it I can be found and he can be a man an confront me to my face. TurnertruckingInc1@yahoo.com to my real ladies and real men much love I’m out 100

Diddy….thats bichtassness.

he is just one of many lame ass dark men with a lot of money putting down my African queens for white america.I use to own a bottle of colonge (before I just toss it away)I will never buy anything pdiddy puts on the market again and I hope millions of my dark skin brothers and sisters do the same .biggie made him let’s break’em.

i don’t think that’s right about him not liking dark women that’s a disrespect to the whole african american race and i see diddy isn’t light skinned his own damn self so he can’t say nothing.

DIDDY NEEDS TO DO WHAT HE PROMOTES “NO B***HASSNESS”…WAIT A MINUTE KIM PORTER AINT THAT LIGHT THE LAST TIME I SEEN A PIC OF HER.

First off P. DIDDY, POWER PUFF or whatever you want to call yourself these days little F****T. I am a dark skinned woman just like your momma and her mother B**** A** little F****T. I am WAY prettier than Lauren London or any other pink B**** you got around or done had around you little F****T. You only prefer pink B****** because they would be much quicker to suck and f**k you just to get the 30 seconds of so called fame with your little F****T A**. It’s really a shame how black men rather have bright women knowing their either a hoe, was hoe, or growing to be hoe. Yeah I’m dark skinned beautiful and educated and my mother taught me to keep my panties clean can the F****T say that about his Pink B******. I’d bet he can’t. Just Don’t Foget The BLACKER THE BERRY THE SWEETER THE JUICE now ask your daddy that F****T PUFF he should know. After all he was sleeping with your BLACK A** MOMMA. LMAO

wow this is a mess..i mean does puffy think he is the cat’s meow.

I aint trippin on Puff, but I am trippin on ol’ girl MsKatieKaBoom when she said she looked better than Laurie London…now that is a JOKE, LOL,LOL HaHa

Most black men with money and status are expected to be seen with a light close to white or white woman on their arm. It’s not right, but it’s the standard.

Don’t give Diddy a hard time, guys. Toooooo many black men has an issue w/dark skinned sistas. They will sleep with them but they will never marry them. I’m a black man who wouldn’t marginize our women this way but I know toooooo many brothers who do.It is difficult for me to admit this.

It’s ashamed that the women on here who proclaim to be so pretty have nothing to offer otherwise….just look at the way they express themselves….REAL WOMEN dont cuss..no matter their complexion or situation.

A REAL WOMAN wouldnt get upset because Sean Combs “prefers” lighter complexions, or smaller women.

A REAL WOMAN is confident in herself, as far as what she offers in character, intelligence, persona, manner of speech, and productive lifestyle, not to mention being A REAL WOMAN OF GOD, not this commericalized version of what a godly woman is to be.

Her looks mean something, but they’re not her only valuable resource, and she knows her body is the one of the highest resources she possesses and lives accordingly, NO MAN CAN DISRUPT THAT!

So if Sean Combs perfers lighter & skinnier women, then let him, just as alot of you woman “prefer” not to be with a broke, ugly, no car having, living at home with his momma, not fat, not too skinny, no small p***ses, some of you women dont even like light men, or dark men, some of you dont even like men with dark gums.

SO WHY ARE YOU GETTING MAD AT Sean Combs FOR HIS “PREFERENCES”?

moneytobemadeonline, that’s good; u r all over it!!!!!

I don’t see how ANYONE can be MAD at the man. I mean this is business and shouldn’t be taken personal.

This is not about his personal preferences in regards to dating. This is a job opportunity for women of a certain look to attract MEN with MONEY at a specific event. Anyone who knows anything about the modeling world can understand it. BUT to allow the exclusion of dark skinned women for the event boggles my mind! Beauty comes in all colors IMO. And I know plenty of men with money who enjoy a dark skinned woman on his arm.

Ohhs wells…

As James Bown recorded and sang “Say it Loud, I’m Black and I’m Proud” is still true today. P. Diddy is very arrogant and condescending even in his tv shows. He has no manners and I say get him where it hurts in his pockets. Don’t buy any of his merchandise. He’s not better than anyone else. He just got money. Just like Tommy Hillfigger, We can stop buying his products and send a message that we will not tolerate this nonsense! We have suffered for years because the color of our skin not we have some ignoramus who’s got a little money selling out. Forget him and rise above and still be proud of who we are! Peace&Blessings!!!

man who ever is trippin on this yall wildin. dude its a casting call. if they have a casting call for a black movie and they lookin for a black actor, are white people really gonna trip? this is stupid and whos ever tripiin really got no life. yall trippin

but also whats wrong wit a prefrence. im sure everyone has a prefrence for what kind of person they like. i only date black women so is that wrong?

It’s a casting call. Who is to say he doesn’t have all the brown skinned or dark skinned sisters he needs? Now he may be looking for some light skin or white or hispanic women in addition to the women he already has for marketing. It isn’t a casting call for “who wants to date Diddy”. This is nothing to be upset about. This could have said thick or fat girls need not apply as well as Asian or little people/short people. I don’t see any of them on here griping. Get over it people. I’m light skinned but, I’m only 5’4″ and chubby. Should I be mad at Diddy as well? This is ridiculous.

It seems that we have to find something to complain about. It’s like someone just sits in his/her chair and goes over every article and finds something to create an issue over. IT’S JUST A CASTING CALL!!!!! His add could’ve also stated Bald and brown skinned men need not apply. I didn’t read about Asians or Russians complaining. Get over it. Maybe next time he will put out a casting call for dark skinned women.

lol. I was going through some of these comments and thought that was very wrong for this person to say that his mother is ugly!!! Lol Anywayz if Diddy perfer light-skined women thats good for him but I don’t see a light skinned woman that tried to stick by his arrogant ass!!! He stupid you always ddon’t get wat you perfer! It is no big deal though because the woman of his child is dark skinned and she getting that money thats all that matters!!!

this is how we darkskinned brothas felt when lightskinned brothas was in so how do it feel to have the tables turned not too good huh?
dont yoll prefer a man with money over a broke brotha? dont yoll prefer a taller man to a shorter man? so stop cryin and deal with it like we had to. and please stop with this “blackwomen have to deal with so much” bullcrap. what do yoll know about being harrassed by tha popo having guns stuck in yo face huh? nothing!! one broad on here had the nerve to say “who cares about blackmen anyway” well i’ll answer that.. lightskinned women!

He wants house slaves. Gotta make a good impression for Massa.

i see a law suit of racism myself ,if a womans activist group see this , since it in wrighting it will shed the light on a already twisted industry of sexism,racism and tired ole stereo types. personally i am honey colored sister ,in the midddle of the color spectrum of the black race and it offensive to see a black male role model that has been made a role model by the industry, to say he only want light, bright damn near and white for his products. He doing this to appeal to the american the consumer, just like the video girls, they want them to look a certain way to sell more downloads,videos, and cds .sex sells.WAKE UP people ,its all about what sells to the masses , he just came right out and put it on paper .thi is a old trick thats always been around in this capalist society.this is bussiness strategy it doesnt mean he is personally against the appeal of a darker skinned sister , but he know what sells ,why do you think he a multimilloinaire now,HELLLO,lol. I aint hattin ,keep makin the money p diddy, i am a entrpenour too so u gotta know what sells.

It’s not against the law to hire light skinned, white girls or whatever, only the govt could catch a case like this. I personally like all shades, but it’s his promo he can do what he wants.

After reading some of the comments, I believe that we all have a right to our opinion. The statement from the company that was posted, took no blame and placed all responsibility on diddy. In real life, no amount of money should make a brother be connected to such a racist statement. Even if the company was at fault and it was actually there doing, Diddy should have stepped away and in no way assisted them with denouncing the women of his race. (especially when he is dark himself). In real life light or dark, all of our ancestors at one point sat at the back of the bus.

Don’t care what Diddy or any one else’s requirements are, I know I am a sexy brown skin female, and I love my complexion and would not change it for anything. I would not be as sexy if I was light, bright, damn near white Like my mom, thanks Dad for adding some pigmentation to my skin. LOLOL. BROWN SKIN FEMALES STAND UP!!!! LIGHT AIN’T ALWAYS RIGHT. LOL

Well Diddy,
I know U had issues but this is one U should have walked away from. Someday your boys will have wives and what will u do if they bring home a dark skinned,brillant aughter in law? Be careful this one is going to come back and bite u right in the butt

At least our first Lady is dark skinned and shes at the top of her game ,Diddy is just going backwards

It is because of the Statistics! Most of the White Woman cannot identify themself with a Black Woman,and Most of the Black Woman cannot identify themself with a White Woman! That is why they choose a colour inbetween!

p diddy or whatever your name is, you have a lot of nerves wanting to cast only white, hispanics and light skinned women. what the hell is wrong with you. take a look in the mirror and look at yourself for a long time. it really pisses me off when a dark skinned brotha says bulls**t like that. if you wasnt a star, women wouldnt want you ugly ass so then maybe you would know how it feels to be intimidating dark skinned women. dont you think we as dark skinned women have enough problems without you adding to them. Black women are the most beautiful creatures on this earth and im tired of people putting our women down because of our color. you should be ashamed of your self.

this is nothing new with diddy under the REQUIREMENTS it states size 7 or smaller…
i remember when he told a chic from making the band that she was “a burger away” from being overweight, like it was a crime if she was on the thick, yet the man that put him over the top was quite a few burgers over. Yet and still he was the coolest, slickest stray eyed cat in the bunch. Maybe someone will put on a show with dark skinned sistas only.

wow!!! so I guess when Diddy looks in the mirror he sees something other than a dark skinned brother huh? that s**t is funny cause u know his ass stays looking in that mirror with his c**ky ass..he probably wishes he was light skinned too..lol.toooo bad sooooo sad Diddy u were born DARK!!!. you shoud be ashamed of urself as a dark skinned brother you should be trying to help break the cycle of if ur black stay in the back but if ur white ur alright …this just futher confirms the reason why i dont like his ass in the frist place. Just another dark skinned brother gone to waste….NEXT!!

He never heard that saying, “A white man with a million dollars is a millionaire, a black man with a million dollars is a n****r with a million dollars.” Who cares about him, he is not my hero. Alcohol is the last thing young black people need. Young fools will spend their hard earned money buying another product PUSHED by a dealer, Diddy.

first of all black is beautiful last i heard puff dont even like women light or dark big or small he act like a real b..ch nothing is good enough for a freak !!

whatever man… he was just keeping it one hundred on the real, making it CLEAR what is desired- when you’re running a business you need to be clear. other non-mogul men have their preferences too so it’s not as if Dids is all-around hating on the darker bunch. maybe the shooting is inside a club and he doesn’t want just EYES and TEETH popping up in the camera shots. I’d be pissed if I was a dark- skinned girl and wasted my time at casting if the request was for lighter women. i do NOT believe he is trying to be negative toward dark females, Danity Kane had a mixture of color so take that. Futhermore, everyone wants to play like he sat down and sent the casting call HIMSELF, someone ELSE did- take that too. from my understanding the management company MAKES MONEY FOR DIDDY, as you may have read he stated his daily attention will be directed toward the endeavor. still yet, he didn’t send the casting call out himself, it was someone else’s word choice and judgment- the message was VERY INFORMAL too, by the looks of it. GET OVER IT. color preferences are everywhere whether in writing/e-mail/casting call or NOT.
informally,
jM

What a shame Puffy, when all of your daughters are beautiful little dark skin girls! What kind of message are you sending to them???

i have been puting up with guys like you all my life because i am dark skin and i love myself but what i don’t understand is do Diddy know he is dark and that it is 2009 and dark is in, and after this he is OUT!!!!

THANK GOD I DONT DRINK OFTEN…… I FORWARDED A TEXT TO ALL MY FRIENDS THAT DRINK CIROC…..FORGET DIDDY HE’S RELATED TO TOM ANYWAY…….UNCLE F**KING TOM!

No wonder y he can’t keep a women!And Oojanay Diddy makes enuff money for himself to make choices so if he agrees with what kind of women they want on the shooting then he’s an idiot just as much as they are.

Oohonay keep n mind that ya pic is n blk n white! Its sad that so many people have died n suffered being apart of the Black race now a Black man runs this country so its a complexion thing now. U n Dummy need 2 be hang like da nigga z yall talkn like! Now Lil wayne,T-pain,Jadakiss, and Biggy is dark skinned but they show up n da clubs, so chill wit dat teeth n eyes bs!

Wow..Diddy call da shots! First you call the shots 4 Tupac murder, then u call the trigger man 2 gun down Biggie and lil Cease but he got away! You called the cops n told them that shine had a gun now u callin 4 Darkskinned girls to stay off da set!!! Ur next call should be to a phone company and make a deal! I was 1 of ur biggest fanz now ur just dat dude that kill Biggie!!!!

Damn, that’s messed up!!! I understand that whatever you prefer to display as the image of your product is your choice, but when you “openly” discriminate against people…especially, nubian princesses, something is quite wrong with that picture. That was a bad move, Diddy!!

UM WOT CAN I SAY……….F**K DIDDY, F**KING SELLOUT YH I SAID IT SELLOUT COME ON LOOKING LIKE A BLACK BUGS BUNNY TALKING BOUT NO DRKSKINNED WOMEN DIDDY U MIGHT AS WELL DYE UR HAIR BLONDE AND BLEACH THE BLACK OFF UR ASS I DO AGREE WITH CHINADOLL U F**KING UNCLE TOM

Wow!!! I am really shocked! I am not really dark but i am not light either. This make me look at him in a different way. It took a long time for dark skin women to come out of their shell and now this! He says he likes women all shape and sizes but I only see a light skin girl that is about a size 4 on his arm. I like diddy so I hope this is not true.

Well,
I really feel if that is what he wants to do…then so be it! Let us dark skin Wonderful ladies “let it go”! Everyone needs someone,what if all the $ wans’t there? He might still want light skinned women..FORTGET IT MY SISTA’S!

To each it’s own! Everyone knows that Black skinned women are awesome..as a matter a fact he could have a differnet color for every day of the week…FORGET IT MY SISTA’S…HE IS ONLY DIDDY! TaKE AWAY THE $ $ SIGNS WHAT WOULD HE REALLY BE…THINK ABOUT IT!!

As a dark sister, this article really struck home for me… Growing up, being called every degrading name in the book: “blacky”,”charcoal”,”tar-baby”, “night”..etc. it has not been easy to fianlly find some sense self esteem, it is almost a setback to hear something like this, almost…Diddy has every right to run his business the way he sees fit, however a little bit of sensitivity to already trodden upon dark sisters is called for, please make your business discriminations in private, dont let anyone get hurt by them even unintetionally..thanks.

Hey folks, opposite attract! I think we need to get our heads out of what’s on the surface.
Would you have a problem if a light skinned man requested dark skinned ladies only?

Everyone has a preference – myself included, and I’m sure you do too. There is not need to try and make this a race or color issue. I agree it could have been worded differently, but why waste everyone’s time when you know what you’re looking for.

I am a light skinned woman and I personal prefer dark skinned men, but I’ve found out over my many years on this planet, it’s really not the cover, it’s the content.

Anyone who was discouraged from applying to appear in that casting call should file (potential CLASS) discrimination against Diddy and any other product advertiser who chooses to publicly discriminate under those birth physical features protected against by state and federal anti-discrimination laws. Not to mention to stop buying his music.

What about the girls that are bigger than size 7. Are we going to start a fight over them too. Really come on. they obviously want a certain type of woman to appeal to a certain demographic. just like when BET puts all black people in a commercial with Smooth R&B in the background.

WELL ALL I CAN SAY IS HE THE NEW PREZ OF THE BROWN BAG SOCIETY???

That is totally wrong there are alot of dark skinned girls that are pretty as well I so tired of people trying to bring others down for no reason. We are all more than just a pretty face and we have all potential so I feel Diddy needs to get over his self.

Black as Mother Earth need not apply? I am so tired of us hating us for them.

why is everyone so upsit, that is what he wants. he has the right to pick who and what he wants, it has nothing to do with who you are as a women, and the women that lets this up sit them, must have really low self esteem. now are the dark skin women going to hate on us light skin women. forever. remember we cant help the color GOD made us. if you are black your are beautyful in your own way.

This man has some nerve. Not only is he blacker than most but he looks like a new age Teddy Ruxpin, wtf?

@dreamgirl That was a rather ignorant statement. I am also considered “light skinned” But because of where we came from I do take offense to this. It does not neccessarily mean “self esteem issue” We are only human. Just as Pdiddy has the right to choose we have the right to feel the way we feel. Do you have self esteem issues. Do some soul searching dear & learn how to spell before you post anything esle.

People please don’t take things sooooo personally!!! It was a casting call that had some specifics. Everything has specifics whether it be credit score requirements, college entrance requirements, or movie casting calls. The man did not say dark skinned women aren’t beautiful or good enough and who would care even if he did. Casting specifics of that business take place frequently and not just with Diddy. If they advertised a casting call for women sizes 20W and above for a plus sized women’s ad and you were a size 10, you probably wouldn’t be offended. Most times we ourselves are offended by statements that hit home with what we think or feel about ourselves. I’m a chocolate sista with 2 graduate degrees who is fluent in 3 languages and I’ve learned that no matter what the cause, no matter how attractive or qualified I think I am, I cannot fit everything’s nor everyone’s specifics and I don’t internalize that to mean that I am unworthy. Self pride is what is needed…not Diddy pride!

HE NEEDS TO GET HIM A DARK SKIN WOMEN AND THEN HE MIGHT LEARN TO APPRECIATE THEM A LOT BETTER BACAUSE MOST OF US HAS LEARNED TO APPRECIATE OURSLEVES GET WITH THE PROGRAM DIDDY!!!!!!!!!!

LOL @MRZ DURANT

I’m sorry….I just don’t get it. Heck…I’ve never been a P Diddy fan. Why would i allow myself to get excited about someone not getting a job. Man…i just read an ad about a young brother killing his younger sisters. Now ….that’s something to truely be pissed,hurt and sad about. P.S. Heck….If ignorant dark skinned brother can make that money surely an intelligent dark skinned sista can too. FOCUS ON DA REAL ISSUES!!!!

Brothers are just to wild. If she is alive then she has a chance with me. Like Prince say’s “The beautiful always hurt me “

I feel it doesn’t matter if you are light, dark, white, brown ,etc. It what in your heart that make you beautiful. For a nasty personality can turn you to not being acceptable.We all have some things we dislikes and won’t accept. So before you judge another get the from your own eyes then you will see the clear of what inside other. But you have to be true to yourself before you can be to others.

I understand why some think this is a big deal, when it’s really not. You can’t legislate people’s thoughts and feelings, and if Diddy and his business associates are trying to market to a particular group by recruiting for a particular ad, then so be it. I don’t like his music or his gaudy materialism, so I simply don’t buy his product. I’m not fond of dark-skinned women myself, and this ad would have appealed to me, but I don’t hate chocolate woman. My tastes in women are just different, not better/worse. It’s a Pepsi/Coke thing to me. People should stop thinking in absolutes.

I left n****rs alone along time ago.
That is Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddly, Dizzy’s whatever his name is preference; that’s if he made this statement. I do not listen or surround myself around n****rs. Wake up ladies!
Surround yourself around positive black men and women. If you are offended by Piss Diddy, do not dance to or purchase his music. End of Story.

For the record I am black so don’t go beating up on white people.

There is a difference between a n****r and a black person.

well frankly it is what it is, not is it just about business but what alot of black men prefer… I think it is time that we let them brothers go on with their preferences and not give a damm about it ….. It not that these brothers hold the keys, nor are black men the only ones on the planet… Most black men dont feel that they have arrived until they have something white or light on their arms…
so my brother Diddy is following what has been already established for sucessful Black men in the media….. SISTERS WE DONT HAVE TO BEG FOR ANYTHING, AND THAT INCLUDES A BLACK MAN !

NOW IM SURE OF MY THOUGHS , HE IS GAY , IF U EVER LOOK AT HIM CLOSE U WELL SEE IT FOR URSELF , SO LEAVE THE DARK SISTER R WOMEN TO US , WE DONT MIND …………MATTER OF FACT , GO TO http://WWW.BLACKPLANET.COM/MUSTAFA117 LEAVE ME A COMMENT ON MY BLOG ALL U DARK SKINED SISTERS …MMMMMUAH

I, myself am not darkskinned, but my daughter is a full-figured chocolate beauty. She has a master’s degree in communication and owns her home in Las Vegas. She has thrown some red-carpet parties and her guests have flown in from all over the united states to attend. Soo…Diddy is saying that he’s not marketing his product for this type of consumer? As an individual that has a background in marketing I must ask…ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!!

Who cares who Diddy has been with, I smell jealousy. Some posted being with a dark skinned woman will make him appreciate you better. LOL. A b***h is a b***h regardless of how dark or light the skin is. Secondly it’s a casting call and those are automatically stereotypical depending on how you take it. People always will find something in nothing.

stamped that was an ignorant ass comment about black men feeling like they have arrived. Arrived where? To the same racist ass country that its been for the pat 4/500 years? Who gives a damn if a successful black man dates a white , asian, latina, or light skinned woman. I know fools who haven’t arrived no where except unemployment and don’t really go after the dark skinned women.

The comment I was trying to make from the marketing perspective is that there is great competition for the consumer dollar. With so many new designer brands coming to the market everyday, companies need to get a clue. It shouldn’t be about Diddy’s preferences in women but rather going after the dollars. A savvy strategy would be to appeal to the everyday person, to make that person feel that if they buy my product they too will be considered smart and sophisticated. Damn, they need me to be their manager. But, to keep it real, that casting call didn’t go out without the approval of Diddy and Ciroc; but if if did somebody is not up on their game.

P. Diddy ugly lips are enough to turn any woman off,Whoever find him attractive are blind as a bat.The nerve of him to send this kind of message to black women when he’s not so good looking himself.He needs to look in the mirror before passing judgement cause I don’t classify as one of the good looking rich black men in American.

I don’t classify P. Diddy as one of the good looking rich black men in American.

I must say the statment of diddy is not really helpfull, to reduce the prejudice dark black lady’s have to deal with.So he should use his mind if there is some left before he give such statments and not only look after best profit.

Its funny how all these dingbats get all upset about Diddys ad, even though its his, he’s paying for it, its his advertismemnt. How come fat chicks aint whilin about the fact he wants the models under a size 7, or the short chicks because you gotta be taller than 5’7″. Get a life, if you’re even a model type im sure there are other gigs! Whats your point in complaining? Would you be happy if he said “Oookaaaay, geez you’re right, dark skinned chicks arent so bad after all! What was I thinking!” Would that make you feel better about yourself??? That Diddy gave you a job even though he really didnt want you??? He only did it cuz you complained/ sympathy? If your life is qualified by a celebrity who may never see your face then you’re the one with an issue, not Diddy. Make that paper mane! BTW: I personally love some milk chocloate skin…But Im talkin about common freakin sense here!!!

I’m two weeks new in Atlanta GA where the casting was being held! I’m a Hershey complexed women…… I was excited about being here.I figured coming from SC I was leaving most of that bs behind but I ran right into the arms of another hick ass town! Dis dude isn’t even from here and leaving a bad taste in many offended visitor mouth!! I can’t say I don’t hold a grudge against GA cuz the casting was posted all around therefore indicating that this sort of behavior is accepted!!

One thing that must be remembered is, Puff Daddy, yes! I said Puff Daddy, because he can’t escape his past, just because he changed his mind; is that he is a businessman first. There is no allegiance or sensitivity on his part to the history of Black People in this country. The best way to send a message is to boycott all his business.

Its true no one Is wilding out about shapes n heights because this is a color issue! Believe me, he didn’t offended any fat short lightskinned people!!!

This guy needs to go back to the plantation and work for massa…. in this day and age, where the first lady is dark skinned? He truly has proven himself to be a JOKE.
This is a dark skinned man, who dislikes dark skinned women..sounds like self hate, or a man with low self-esteem. I am a dark skinned man, my mother is dark skinned, my sisters are dark skinned, my aunts are dark skinned…i’ve dated light skinned and dark skinned women..they are all the same, black and beautiful…but this little imbecile is aparently so brainwashed..he might as well have used the ‘Howard Univ’ former admission criteria for his casting call– ‘lighter than a brown paper bag’.
Anyway, the man is washed up, his music career seems to be going nowhere, his movies career (did he even have one??)…i say we simply ignore him..
ALL BLACK WOMEN…DARK OR LIGHT SKINNED…are beautiful –

look light skinned people as been in the shadows of dark skinned people a little bit to long now. so its our turn to shine now and thats what he wants then he can do that and stop hating and if you dnt like it then step your a## to the back of the bus. cause if i had his money i mite do the same thing. its a free country people wake up.

I mean its his money and choice everyone has a choice i mean come on no true black women would want that dog anyway he need someone dumb and that what he got .

i really dont think Diddy makes those types of decisons. I could be wrong, but I though those types of decisions come from the Marketing Department! Dependning on where the add will run, Im sure they cater to the audience….So I’m thinking if the add runs in a prodominatley black area, darker sisters will be modeled….and in white areas, white or lighter sisters will be modeled. Anyway, I’m not a fan of Diddy or his brand of Vodka, but I’m not buying into the hype! I mean, the mother of 3 of his 4 children happens to be a DARK skinned woman…she also happens to be his longest, (public) relationship to date!….Like I said, not feeding into the hype!

Reading some of these comments i have this to add:
True it is a casting call, but the media controls the thinking of the masses…when little dark skinned girls see nothing but light skinned women on TV or movies, it denigrates their sense of self esteem, and this is manifested in a multitude of dimensions as they grow older…so it does matter, as a man in a position to shift these perspectives, it does matter what he tries to promote…if he was promoting this to an all white audience, then it would make no difference, but given he is a black man, black people will attune to this
Secondly, I live in L.A, I find myself around a lot of these ‘Hollywood’ types — now women (all kinds — black, white, asian, hispanic) find me very attractive,and I am dark skinned, and I date women of all races and SHADES…but one thing I have noticed (especially in the music industry), is that a lot of these men in top positions (producers, etc) tend to be fat, black men…they use their expensive cars (benzes, bentleys, etc) to get women, because it is quite obvious that they would not get any women without them (why I say that, because they drive around in these cars talking to women, but when they don’t have their cars, they are quiet as mice); a lot of the movie crowd (producers, directors, crews, etc) are what I would consider ‘nerds’ — the skateboarding, grungy type — they too, flash their credentials (I am a director, producer, etc) and cars and wealth to get money.
P. Diddy is in this class, without his money, he probably would have no women….
Finally, I urge you women, dark and light to not let this idiot bring about a rift within our race. If you need further education on this, read the Isis Papers (by Frances Cress Welsing, Ph.D)– a dark skinned man who exclusively dates light skinned women is seeking two things: acceptance by the white man (through the light skinned woman — in this way he is not condemned for dating white women) and the hopes of siring a child who is of lighter complexion than him (hence moving himself closer to whiteness — through his lineage). At the end of the day, he is ashamed of his race. Conversely, a light skinned woman (as tends to happen a lot) who exclusively dates dark skinned men, is ashamed of her ‘white association’ and hopes to minimize that by dating a dark skinned man, and hopefully having children of a darker complexion. In either case, we are living off the indoctrination of hundreds of years of slavery.
Let this be a wake up call for us to move forward and leave the past where it is, and if there are those amongst us (Diddy and his like) who insist on maintaining those degenerate slavery induced mentalities, let us leave them be in their cess pool of self hate

This is common in the promototional ad industry. Usually ads such as this MOSTLY requires light skinned women to be in such commercials. Although Ciroc and other companies have the right to put whoever they want in their ads/commericals, I alway feel as though Dark skinned women are always being left out of the picture. It is obviously due to society’s perception of “Beauty” which emmulates the physical characteristics of white people (or close to it). There are plenty of beautiful dark-skinned women who could have been featured in the ad. Although I strongly disagree with what diddy has done, it is his decision at the end of the day.

I so agree with mahagwa. This takes us back to the Willie Lynch letter and how his it still hunts us to this very day. I met a basketball player who told me he only likes mixed women. However, he would only have sex with dark skinned women. Being a dark skinned woman I was hurt by it but not at all shocked. I do wonder what these guys mother think of their son and their views. Diddy mother is not at all light skinned. My question now is, what do you think about your mother skin tone? Mahagwa thanks for your wise words I will also be buying that book (the Isis Papers) I need and want to know more about it.

Why are you all mad? we made him, we give him and negroes like him who pander to light skin and white skin damn near all there lives a large portion of there annual income?Take it away from him stop complaining show him no support from Black communities around the world that will hit him in the pocket. Negroes like diddy are A “Dime A Dozen”in this coutry read Willie lynch letter and find out why?

Ain’t diddys mom black as hell?? porch monkey black,moon cricket black,mudd shark black?? These are all the things i hear other black people saying of one another. Are my people all still n****rs????? Please say we’ve progressed since that fateful day in 1712(Willie Lynch Letter) read it

YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT PUFF DUMMY IS COLOR STRUCK IS NOT SURPRIZING. LOOK AT HIS ROLE MODEL. HIS MOTHER IS LITTLE KIM CHIC. SHE LOOKS LIKE A TIMES SQ HOOKER AND HE CALLS HIMSELF A WORLD CLASS DESIGNER AND STILL ALLOWS HER TO GO OUT LOOKING THAT WAY. IT’S PRETTY PATHETIC WHEN YOU HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY AND STILL CAN’T LOOK GOOD. THIS WOMAN OBVIOUSLY DOESN’T HAVE A CLUE HOW BAD SHE LOOKS BECAUSE SHE CONTINUES TO LOOK THAT WAY. SO IF HE HATES DARK SKINNED WOMEN, HE CAN START WITH HER. FURTHERMORE, THAT’S PROBABLY THE REASON HE WAS WILLING TO PUT A WEDDING RING ON JLO, BUT STILL AFTER THREE CHILDREN, REFUSES TO PUT ONE ON KIM PORTER. TOO DARK KIMMY! PERSONALLY, I WISH SHE WOULD LEAVE HIM FOR A REAL MAN, AND NOT SOMEONE WHO COZIES UP TO OTHER MEN LIKE PUFFY DID WITH ZAC POSEN, AND TAKE HER CHILDREN SOMEWHERE, LIVE IN THE LAP OF LUXURY OFF THAT PUNK’S DIME. PUFFY’S OVERINFLATED EGO HAS ALWAYS BEEN NAUSEATING, AND NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN FOOLED BY IT OR HIM. TAKE YOUR DOUGH, AND YOUR REDBONES AND GO JUMP IN THE NEAREST LAKE MR. PUFFY PIMPLE ON THE BUTT!

THE REAL DEAL ISN’T THAT HE DON’T LIKE BLACK SISTAS, HE DON’T LIKE HIS OWN BLACK ASS, HE WISHES HE WAS WHITE.

Diddy has been avoiding the mirrors. He looks like a little black raisin. Diddy, you ARE NOT all that.

First of all I am a light skined woman but to have Diddy of all balck ass ppl say some stupid s**t like that. first of all his babies momma is dark skined and his moma his black as hell too. He needs to get over hisself he aint the cutest cookie in the jar his ego is to big and please he needs to come back down to earth with thoes tight ass pants he be wearing. Nigga please get a grip there are alot of cute dark skined and light skined woman out there.

its ok 2 have certain preferences but u don’t have 2 be disrespectful. He can have women of all races at his party he aint got 2 date or sleep wit they ass so its not a big deal 2 have them around aint like they gonna want him or be all over him lol

DIDDY DID NOT SEND THIS OUT PEOPLE! SOMEONE FROM DIDDYS CAMP DID… and he probably getting fired for it. YOU CANT BLAME DIDDY FOR SOME ELSES MOVES. FOR 1 HIS BABY’S MOTHER IS “BLACK”. AND YALL DIDNT NOTICE THE SIZE AND HEIGHT REQUIREMENT. WHERES ALL THE FAT WOMAN AT… AINT NOBODY CARING THAT “DIDDY” ONLY WANTS SKINNY GIRLS… YALL NEED YOU START SEEING S**T INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT S**T. FEEL ME

HOW COME WE NOT GETTIN MADE WHEN DIRECTORS ASK FOR PEOPLE TO PLAY ROLES IN THEIR MOVIES. YOU THINK TYLER PERRY AUDITIONED WHITE PEOPLE FOR THE ROLE OF THE GIRLS IN “DADDYS LITTLE GIRLS”… NO! IT DOESNT FIT THE VISION OF THE FILM. JUST LIKE IN THIS CASE A DARK SKIN WOMAN WOULDNT FIT THE VISION OF THIS PROMOTION.

I believe he did send it out! Someone is up in here trying to do some damage control.

this type of thinking among our own need to stop if the fool feel like that then he should not take any money from dark skin pwpole and i hope everyone see this garbagei got a questuon for the boy hey diddy what color is your mother and grand mother not to mention your aunts open your eyes see the real world the mone you make come fron every color dont let your fame blind you

Diddy, I detest blacks when they get really rich and forget where they came from. You really do look okay but your head is in the wrong place. Man you should be ashamed for even letting stuff like that enter your mind, let along having it printed. I’m above cursing you and calling you the N word, but , consider God made all of and he loves all of us and bad things could happen to all of us at the drop of a pin. I’m not asking you to apologize, just be more careful next time. peace

SO YOU’RE TELLIN ME DIDDY HAS THE TIME SERIOUSLY WRITE A FLYER? THIS NIGGA DOES NOTHING BY HIMSELF. HE HAS PEOPLE DO S**T FOR HIM. HE DOESNT EVEN DRESS HIMSELF.
DIDDY DOESNT HAVE THE TIME TO WRITE OUT FLYERS. THATS A INTERNS JOB.

F**k Diddy and anyone else who have a problem with dark skinned sistaz, i am so f**king tired of people acting like darker skin is a f**king problem look at you diddy your ass is black and it is a shame that you dothis to women of your same race/color i’m sorry everybody wasn’t made to be white or light skinned you are a sad excuse for a man period!

that nigga dark too wtf! That’s just sad of him!

THE LACK OF INTELLIGENCE ON THIS BLOG WALL IS CRAZY! YALL ARE REALLY CURSIN OUT DIDDY LIKE: 1. HE’S ACTUALLY GOING TO READ THIS 2. YOU DONT HAVE PERSONAL PREFERENCES OF YOUR OWN 3. IF THIS ARTICLE IS EVEN TRUE, YOU JUST READ AN ARTICLE AND DON’T USE ANY COMMON SENSE. ITS LIKE “AWW MAN IF SOMEONE POSTED AN ARTICLE ONLINE IT MUST BE TRUE”
IS THIS REAL, YES. DID DIDDY DO IT? HIGHLY DOUBT IT.

AND LIKE I SAID WHY ISNT ANYONE ANGRY AT TYLER PERRY FOR THE WAY HE CASTS HIS MOVIES? BECAUSE ITS A VISION OF THE CREATOR. AND THE CREATOR OF THIS PROMOTION DIDNT WANT A DARK SKIN WOMAN.

WE HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN THIS YALL, FORREAL

Of course we as dark-skinned women are going to react strongly if this is true. We wouldn’t be who we are as beautiful strong dark queens if we didn’t respond in the manner that’s expressed on this particular subject. With that said. I’ve never cared too much for Diddy — he’s only out for self and he’s fallen prey to the status quo as usual… He’s learned what makes money in Hollywood…light, bright and damn near well you can finish the rest!

SO YOU DONT KNOW IF ITS TRUE YET… SO YOU REACT WITH RAW EMOTION… BUT LET SOMEBODY SAY BLACK WOMEN ARE HOT-HEADED. HAHA QUICK TO DENY THAT 1. AND AS FAR AS THIS BLACK QUEEN BULLS**T… EVERY RACE HAS A QUEEN. BUT YOU DONT HERE WHITE WOMEN SAYIN “IM A BEAUTIFUL WHITE QUEEN”… BECAUSE IT SOUNDS SO STUPID. IF YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE THAT YOUR A QUEEN TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF THAN ITS OBVIOUS… YOU’RE NO QUEEN.

F**k Diddy. My dark skinned and proud of it

look at diddy he is dark skinned stop it you are crazy

And what complexion is Kim Porter? Dark enough to get pregnant (and not marry)?Diddy,go get some invisalign and close learn how to close your mouth.

IT SHOULD BE LADAWNTHE STUPID1 LA dawnthe great1 you really sound stupid why would you say something like that about your own race grow the F**K UP…….sexyma

Why would he say that??? He is a “DARK-SKINNED” man and he has the nerve to NOT want a beautiful black woman??? He has a serious problem. When and if he was to lose everything he had, who do you think would stand beside his broke ass??? Who do you think would take all and leave him with nothing??? I think that Mr. Diddy should watch “The Diary of A Mad Black Woman” and watch closely how the arrogant lawyer lost everything to a white woman……..Some people let money rule them and they tend to forget where they came from.

Diddy is Chocolate for sure but you know our black men have a problem with color. Society has made them that way

I dont know what diddy is trying to promote but he’s going about it the wrong way. We as men all have our preferences when it comes to the women we choose to be with and ladies you do too. But in the work force we need not be that way. As long as SHE can do the job, what difference should it make if she’s light or dark skinned? Check yourself man cause the same people you diss will be the same people you will miss!!!

i am so sorry to hear that he would say something like that, look at him he is no cutie, he just has money but he is still a lonely ass, i am a dark skin woman and i tell you this, he knows that some women are not about his money, they are real and its something that he can not handle that is why is always around white women or light women, but when it comes down to a dark woman he knows that we will f**k his ass up with out his money, having all that money he cant get his month fix looking like a cartoon character lol, dark women stick together, what we should do is sue his ass and give the money to a charity that focus on the inside beauty or give to a shelter with plenty of darkskin women and allow them to get the things that they need to feed their children or better yet all of us who are darkskinn should not buy another thing that his name is behind, i bet you he will think twice before every opening up his big ass month oh and one more thing i bet you that he has the smallest thing popping down below and he knows that someone will talk about his ass, so girls lets get together and whip his ass, whose down let me know

He has always been the very essence of ignorance. He’s a paid clown in this industry. I will never take his intelligence from him because the dude is smart but I don’t have much respect for him. He has always been an arrogant and disrespectful guy that hides behind others because he is also the biggest sucker I know. Funny but true story. My nephew was trying to get in the rap game at an early age (13). Someone got him an audition with diddy and this clown wanted him to perform for him in his hotel room while he sat in the room in an open robe and boxer. My nephew clowned him and called him gay as well as walked out after telling him if he couldn’t get dressed, he wouldn’t perform. he lost out on that deal but I’m happy he kept his dignity and stood up for himself. I pray for people like him. Money is his route to hell and hopefully he will have time to reevaluate his life and how he treat people and save himself from damnation. He has much nerve to be particular. He can’t keep a woman. Noone want him but Kim and i think that’s money motivated. He should be ashamed of his actions.

stop whining you girls. you are the sameones that say
a man should be driving a certain car and/or have a minimum
hieght. so get over it. yall are just as nasty as diddy. You girls are just as shallow and are real gold diggers. so why are you all upset because he is shallow like you

I am also attracted to lighter skinned women, but I am attracted to dark skinned women as well, and I do NOT dis dark skinned women at the expense of lighter skinned ones. On my profile where the pictures are there is a white flower that symbolizes my love for dark skinned women as well. I am open to marriage with women of any racial or ethnic background, since with me those who are Christians in deed get first pick. However, having said that neither do I go around depressed or moaning, because apparently neither Venus nor Serena Williams has any use for me as a dark skinned Black man, but they both prefer lighter skinned, or White men to take home and get busy with. If given the chance I would marry Scary Spice in a moment if she gave her life to Christ, and would shun Halle Berry if she preferred to live like the devil (No, did intended Halle I’m just creating an example). Anyway, peace ya’ll>>Gotta run.

Come on… we all know that whatever color woman he has on his arm is just a ‘cover’ for what he really wants…. A MAN!
Puffy is GAY…. he will be coming out of the closet soon enough.
It think it’s funny that a man who is not even good looking would have the audacity to be arrogant. LOL, please! And if he were any dumber, he would have to be watered twice a week!

The Ultimate Shuck & Jive in the Industry– Sean Puff Daddy/P. Diddy Combs-?? Or is he an Opportunist– on the grime- getting the paper -hustlin the best way he knows how? It’s the Game, Not the Players in it. We all have preferences– in reality of society; when it comes to the majority requirements of this type of industry, they are all the same, unless specified differently (which is rare).

Here is the deal the posting for the casting call was in bad taste. Regardless of what his preference may be. At the end of the day he is still promoting the lighter is better bull black folks have been dealing with for decades. I believe is the most sensitive issue with in the black community. Since many of us are not really comfortable with who and what we are. Whether it be skin tone, hair texture, or other physical features. That make us unique and beautiful in our own right.
If diddy prefers that certain type which by society’s standards are considered attractive. So be it. For those that disagree with his position. Hit him where it hurts right in the pocket. Don’t buy his clothing, music (artist on label included) or this new vodka. Show him where his bread is buttered just like black women did in the 80′s. When Gloria Vanderbilt said her black jeans were not made for black women. Which happen to be some of the largest purchasers of her jean products.

I KNOW DAT THAT GREMLIN AINT SAYING SHYT BOUT NO DARK SKIN GURLS WHAT THE F**K IS HIS BABY MAMA LAST TIME I CHECK SHE’S DARK SKIN SO WHAT DAT SAYING BOUT HER?

Diddy will sell his mother if she could get a good price. So who cares what he thinks or perfers for his ads. He is not the authority on the Black race….F#&@ Him!!!

Not trying to funny or nasty but this is what happens when we put a clown like this in front of people. I have never liked any of his products via music or any thing. It’s a damn shame here we are in 2009 and still facing racism from all of our counter parts, Blacks White, Asian, Indian etc. As long as we buy his stupid music and look at his MTV shows he can clown all of us. Boycott is ass don’t buy his junk or look as his shows. Here we are in another converse over a pure clown. It time to put people like this in the place where they belong back in poverty where we can’t hear from him unless he on TV for going to jail or being buried. What comes around goes around. He can say isn’t not true the proof is in black and white. Spread the word let cut this clown off now!!!!!!!!

That is total discrimination to dark skin women. If he would have said whites only then the s**t would have hit the fan and all of the blacks would have something to say. But since he said dark skin women there is nothing wrong. I feel every color should have an opportunity to apply for anything. It is not about preference because it is not a dating game it is a job and I think all dark skin women should file a discrimination suit against him. If a white man would have said no blacks you would hear about it on the michael baisden show, jet, ebony, bet, and other black shows. We as black should be able to come together instead of pulling each other apart. If he did not want any dark skin he did not have to verbalize it. But it is good that the truth is out. Frankly I did not care for him anyway because he is not all that I really thing he is an ugly black brother and the only reason that the white and light skinned women are dating him is because of his money. If jennifer loved his ass then she would not have dumped him.

diddy you are nothing but a big BOMBO CLOTH, YOU ARE A F**KING P***Y HOLE AND PRETTY SOON YOUR ASS WILL BE GRASS AND SOME DARK SKINNED WOMAN IS GOING TO MOW IT. SOONER THAN YOU THINK YOU DIRTY BLOOD CLOTH. and while you are at it go suck your mother’s p***y for good measure, i cant believe i have been a supporter of yours all this time, i should have known better thou, because when he was sucking Jennifer lopes a*****e i saw that monkey mother f**ker on Madison ave, and say hello to the f**king toad and he shrug me off, JHOE Had to slap him on the side of his f**king monkey scull, so that should have been a clear sign that, that fagot is a stinking c**k sucker, he better be lucky i am a man of god or else i would have told him a few choice words, but on the behalf of all dark skinned women go f**k your self.

My last posts were yesterday; & I reiterate: its all about the benjamins. Diddy is saying that he’s marketing his product to a certain consumer & he doesn’t need or want a certain segment of the population to buy his products- so DON’T!!!

That’s terrible. When is it going to stop?

p.diddy or what ever the hell his name is this month need to be a shame.He’s a fake designer taking credit for work he don’t do,Most likely he don’t like dark skinned women is because he him self is dark he hate what he is, DARK SKINNED,He’s a fake ass any way.

It’s a shame that(we) black people can’t get past shades of skin color and respect and except each other.

This is the Dark skinned black man, talking about he doesn’t want dark skinned black women in his videos. What the F**k. I do believe his mother is just as black as his ass is. How stupid can you get? Not only do you look stupid. sound stupid, and even act stupid but you can pretend stupid too. I ‘m sorry you are stupid. You gots to be. We as black people are leaving in a world were it’s hard as hell for us. Here it is that Obama and his wife is trying to paint a good picture for us. Give our kids after us a good idea of what life could be for them. To help them understand that the streets will be their. I wounder what type of image are you giving your kids. Are they as dump as you. It dosen’t sound like you are teaching them anything. J-lo saw exactly what you were about and played you like a bicth. I can believe you would leave your own family for a wanna be, who was really using you. I believe the world knows what you are only good for, and that is……………………………….

What’s the name of your clothing band? What else do you do? I believe Biggie was the biggest thing you had for popularity. The band is wack. It’s been played out sense your last band group. Stop coming up with the same tired Ideas. Bring something new to the table. Money may make the world but how could you get around if your main resources has gone. You better remember It was Biggie and his popularity that has gotten you were your at. Use while it last because your well is running dry !!!!!

As for me a black man I love you frist blackqueens of the earth and its ashame that one brother is so blinded with money and what the world haves giving him that he can dis who you are? shame on you Diddy you are hurting the black race i will not buy anything with youre name on it again!!!

P. Diddy should be tired of so-called light-skinned chicks caused they sure have been dissing his dark-skinned self!!!!!!

~It’s just totally disgusting and ugly to me. WTF is he thinking??? As a woman of color and also of a dark complexion, I feel like it is so sad that after all our people have been through that we are not even accepted by one of our own. He is a total dumb ass and I am not ever giving a penny to anything that he is associated with ever again after this. And that’s for real~

This is ignorance to the fullest!!!! I know there are some racist white people sitting back laughing at this BS rite now. They are the ones who have caused this war within our race. It all began with salvery, “House and Field Negroes”. And its a shame that Diddy…a dark skinned Brotha, will stoop to this level. If I remember correctly his baby’s mother is a beautiful darkskinned woman. Guess thats why he never married her. Hell…his own mother is a darkskinned woman. Even his twin daughters are a beautiful shade of darkness. I am really disgusted and outraged at Diddy, because I used to really admire him. Because he came from nothin and look at what he has accomplished. Message To Diddy:: It ain’t all about the Bengamins, it’s about remembering WHERE the HELL u came from. And sorry for being so graphic…But that Split that brought you into the world, is as BLACK as mine, u damn fool!!!!!

That’s sad but nothing new. Men have been loving light skin/white women over dark skin women for a long time. But Diddy it’s time for you to put the shirt back on with that b***hness way of thinking. You know you do have dark skin women fans/employees who look better than the light ones I must add. But like what you like just watch what you say stupid.

This is a HUGE issue among OUR people…and its a shame that WE have let WHITE society help us deem who is pretty and who isn’t. White media has always loved the halle berry’s, J-Lo’s, and anyone else that has a connection to our culture and is lighter toned. This problem has to start solve with BLACK MEN…they have pushed us darker women to the side because of what the media says…damn shame you cant be thought of as gorgeous..simply because you arent a ‘mutt’ on the DNA ladder….

EVENTUALLY I CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG..DARK SKINNED WOMEN ( AND GUYS) DISPLAY MORE GHETTO/AGGRESSIVE TYPE BEHAVIORS RATHER THAN COOPERATE..IVE HAD MALE FRIENDS AND EX GURLFRIENDS TALE THE TALES OF HOW DARK SKINNED PEOPLE ARE SCARIER HUMANS….BUT DIDDY USED TO DATE NAOMI CAMPBELL. I AINT TAKING SIDES…INDEED YES HE WAS WRONG..BUT IF HE DOESNT STEP HIS GAME UP AND JUST TELL THE TRUTH WHY HE DID WHAT HE DID..THEN HES GONNA BE A WIMPS**T VERSION OF A B***HASS…I NEVER WORE OR BOUGHT HIS PRODUCTS AND SPEAKING OF THE CIROC COMMERCIAL I DONT DRINK EITHER.

WOW Diddy the last time I checked……him and his mama are dark skin. That is some self hate shyt right there. But whatever. He may be rich, but he will ALWAYS be ugly inside and out.

Man, Celebs are people just like me and you. I would not wanna be in yall shoes! Yall get looked at for everything and get criticized for everything! You are role models whether you wanna be or not. I think Diddy may like em all, but his customer may have preferences for this call…who knows…

Hello, i’m a 39 yr old “darkskinned ” man and in response to Shuriken85′s comment. Well my brother if u were neglected by ur so called “own race” cause ur skin was too dark for them wouldn’t u have an aggressive/rebellious behavior too? Lighter skinned blacks and even brown skinned blacks tend to think that they are superior to darkskinned people! Why do we all call ourselves “black” when the majority of us don’t want to be darker than brown? Answer that!!

ugh…self hate is all it is.

This one is quite easy to explain. Please don’t be insulted and stop being so super-sensitive. We know that anyone and everyone is beautiful no matter the skin color.

Here is whe explanation: This is a commercial, a video that will probably be shot in a bar to depict a dark club scene. Now look at the photo shown in this ad and look at the guy in the foreground compared to the women in the background. They show up onscreen because of their complexion. If the guy was in the background he would NOT be seen. You would see a white shirt but his face would be lost. If the videographer used too much light in the background the feeling of the club scene would be lost. Sean Combs is not disrespecting ebony complexioned women, he is merely getting the people who will make the shot work.

I really want to end this with “Lighten up Black People!” but that too might get misconstrued, so I’ll just say …

Always Be Cool.

Oops, sorry for the typo. I misspelled “the”

koolsphinx..i never looked at it like that and you do have a point but some of our young sistas have self esteem issues. it is up to all positive role models(parents and relatives) to instill and help us accept our dark skinned color.

Incredible! I am a man that loves all black women…light skinned….dark skinned and everything in between. There is a lot of self hate in the Black community and if we just accept it self hating will be the end of our people. I am disgusted by Diddy and everyone else that won’t acknowlege the beauty of all Black women.

THIS IS A RESPONSE TO 1 NICE FELLA… AHEM…MR 1NICEFELLA, I DONT THINK YOU READ MY COMMENT RIGHT SIR! I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING THING BAD ABOUT THE RACE AND FIRST OF ALL I DONT DISCRIMINATE! AND SECOND..

SECOND RESPONSE TO 1NICEFELLA
I WAS WRONG FOR POSTING THAT COMMENT….EVEN IF IT MAKES NO SENSE AND IT SOUNDS STUPID..THE PEOPLE THAT TOLD ME THE STORIES SHOULDN’T EVEN SAID IT…ITS BEEN GOING ON TOO LONG BEFORE THE THIS DIDDY STORY JUST POPPED OUT…. AND THOSE WHO SAID IT BANNED THEIR OWN SELVES FROM THEIER OWN RACE.

Some comments just come back to bite you on the a…. Yes, his little DARK skinned daughters will someday read the comment and wonder what the heck their father was thinking!!!

IT’S A DAMNED SHAME THAT DIDDY REFUSES TO BE AWARE OF THE DIFFERENT HUES THAT MAKES US BLACK WOMEN SPECIAL…HELL, WE ARE ALL THE SAME FROM THE INSIDE!

We have to realize that Society has brained washed people in thinking that light is better than dark, refer to the dictionary on the definitions of black & white, it has been like that since slavery days, that the darker skinned people (slaves) were out in the fields and the lighter skinned people, were in the house which they called “house niggas”, even the great great grandparents (back then) always looked down on darker skinned people, if you watch TV you will see that at least 95% of couple are “the man is dark-skinned, and the female is light-skinned, including the Celebrities, its like the black dark-skinned woman is not good enough for the black man and the white man. Again society has everybody brainwashed by thinking that LIGHT is better. The white women are supposed to be the purest of them all, That’s why in the early 1900’s the black man could not look at white women, and if they did they were punished, so if a black man cant have a white women, he goes for the next supposedly “best” thing, which is the light skinned woman……………its bad enough that Dark-skinned women have to go through all the bull-s**t that everybody dishes out, for instance, (1)…..400 years of BS from the white-man. (2)….Society stating that the white woman is better than everybody, putting them on a pedestal (3)….the black man that puts the light-skinned woman on a pedestal, & 4)….. the light-skinned woman who knows that their s**t don’t stink and will always be 1st on the black mans list of choices. The black man is AUTOMATICALLY attracted to the light-skinned woman, in the black mans mind light is better than dark, its like second nature to look at them, (Second Nature (n.) meaning, a habit that is deeply fixed as to be a part of a persons nature). So dark-skinned women, are constantly being rejected, “It’s a society thing” the white man, the white woman, the black man, & the light-skinned black woman think that dark-skinned women are not good enough. Men are very visual, Society is very visual, and it should not be a surprise that all men like Diddy who truly has everything, do think like that, but a man that has everything, or a man who you “think” that has everything, always lacks something in their life…………..I thought segregation was long gone, but I guess not, because it still “EXIST”, unfortunately by our “own” BLACK MEN…………….

I think diddy likes what he likes and there is no reason to be trippin over it…if thats what he want in his video then thats what he wants…jus like everyone got a certain thing they want, so do diddy…da*n all this jus cuz the dude want light skinned girls in this one video?!?! Thats crazzy

I DO KNOW WOMEN OF COLOR ARE BEAUTIFUL, SO NO MATTER HOW SOCIETY LOOKS AT US MAKES NO DIFFERENCES. IT IS WHAT’S ON THE INSIDE THAT COUNTS, AS IT HAS BEEN TOLD BEAUTY FADES.

P Diddy needs to come to grips with his insecurities.. as a black woman i understand that we all have preferences.. but to insult and then try to define why you choose to think that way is appalling. P Dummy is just like all the rest of “our men” ashame of where they came from and trying to change it through your mate. hey Diddy don’t end up like Micheal Jackson rainbow bright azz.. it didn’t work out for him in hte long run. Kim porter needs to fix your dark butt with an adjustment to her alimony/child support for the darkness dish

By the way.. who the heck wants P Diddy but the light skin population….

If he don’t like darkness. w hat was up with notorious BIg ..was it j ust the $$$$$$$$$$$$$.. i guess it was. Poor BIg
seem like alot of dark artist made P Diddy what he is now…..

I see dark people..oh it’s just Dumb Diddy

his mama black as hell with blode hair that nutts she is a darkskinned woman the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice

wow yall actin like it was just a bunch of white women or something it anit that serious

And as a light skinned man i pissed that any black person is mad or dogging my color of skin singleing us out and giveing us bad names like mutt and DNA ladder and other sht like that and you arent any better than him and its not like he has never been with a dark skin women because his kids mom are so think about that befor you judge someone and you sound so races and you have the mind to talk about white people for talking about “us” blacks

It appears that too many people are still going nuts over this and have expressed so much disdain for Puff-Daddy/Puffy/P-Diddy/Sean Combs and it is totally misunderstood and your anger is misplaced. I’ll post this comment again to explain this situation.

This one is quite easy to explain. Please don’t be insulted and stop being so super-sensitive. We know that anyone and everyone is beautiful no matter the skin color.

Here is the explanation: The casting call was placed by an agency. Mr.Combs probably had little to do with the creation of the scene therefore he did not specify the type of actresses needed. He’ll probably just show up on the day of the shoot. This is a commercial, a video that will probably be shot in a bar to depict a dark club scene. Now look at the photo shown in this ad and look at the guy in the foreground (Combs) compared to the women in the background. They show up onscreen because of their complexion. If the guy was in the background he would NOT be seen. You would see a white shirt but his face would be lost. If the videographer used too much light in the background the feeling of the club scene would be lost. Sean Combs is not disrespecting ebony complexioned women, he is merely getting the people who will make the shot work.

I really want to end this with “Lighten up Black People!” but that too might get misconstrued, so I’ll just say …

Hey Brothers and Sisters, love yourselves. Try not to be so sensitive and insecure. Don’t fall into the trap of expressing such hate. Seek that which is good and edify the race.
The world knows that Black is Back! and we’re looking good.

Always Be Cool.

Who cares? There are also height and weight requirements. Should midgets and fat people get bent out of shape because Diddy won’t hire them to promote his overpriced Vodka? Anyone upset about this needs to find a hobby.

I believe that P. Diddy/ Puff Daddy/ Sean Combs……..what ever the hell he wants to be called is entitled to hire whom ever he see fit for the position. I don’t really give a damn about who he wants to hire because I don’t really give a damn about Sean Combs. I believe there are a lot more men that are far more talented than he is, and quiet frankly he has no true talent. He just knows how to handle business well (I give credit where it is due). That is showbusiness, and that is just the way it is. However, with that said, as a beautiful dark skinned woman, it disgusts me that us beautiful women of a darker shade of color are constantly being overlooked or “pushed to the side,” and mostly by our own race. I believe that some of the most beautiful women in the world are dark, ebony, chocolate toned women. Think of Iman, Naomi Campbell, even his baby mama Kim. Obviously he finds dark women attractive. But like I said, it doesn’t make me any difference because he doesn’t pay my bills. I agree with you Reality711, the darker the berry, the sweeter the juice!!

does anyone really care about this? i’m sure diddy does not have complete autonomy in selecting who will be in the ciroc commercials. and furthermore…if he did—ummmmm what do I care? and who cares who diddy dates? NEXT PLEASE…something actually important to talk about. i thought we were past the whole color struck thing. i mean damn, they didn’t want fat chicks to show up either. i don’t see anyone raising hell about that….lol

Can you say “Affimative Action/Discrimination”? This bi-polar of a gem man has issues within himself. The nerve to only want a certain ethnicity. There is only one race, “Human”so whom ever posted the ad, should be laughed at also. Dummies ! Ha ! Get with life Sean John Diddy “Puff Puff” Combs. Silly rabbit, don’t he know tricks are for kids? !

Ummm, has diddy looked in the mirror? he isn’t too light himself there….Dam shame black people still can’t embrace our own beauty when they have such an influential position and role in society

It business people, irregardless of his personal preference, light is what sales in society today, dont blame him for that, although he could help bring a change in that arena, he didnt start it. Business is business sometimes, the end result is the green color, and nobody cares whether its light /dark green as long as the bank counts it good, its called money and thats the bottom line.

Diddy! You total SALE OUT! You haven’t had a real hit since BIGGIE dude! Now you s**t in the faces of our QUEENS! “God please bless me with the money to under cut fools like this!”

thats sad, all woman are beautful, thats why we cant get anywhere as people because people keep thinking that they are better, or they think some on is better or they want this type of person and not this type of person, thats why are kids messed up we look at people on t.v. as role models, lol, these peoples make mistakes like everyone else, thats just discimination, but thats choice, do what you do, its a point of view

all woman are beautiful, nothing wrong with this, last time i check lightskin and white been in, if anything diddy and his people should thank the lord for being in the same picture as these lightskin and white people, lol, this is just sad, darkskin, lightskin, whiteskin, its just skin, damn, how about mind and heart, how about soul, how about morals and values, how about smiles, why we talking about skin color, lord we need help, bad, we not strong enough to go into the house, we still outside looking at the paint, we suck

doesnt matter that darkskinned woman got that child, lol, this is crazy, but it is what it is,

Told ya he was a silly out fo a dolla bill. Looking like a c**kroach. I have neva liked him! Yes I said it…..

I understand were diddy is coming from dark skin is not beautiful I myself am dark skin so I know.

he dark so he got his nerves beauty comes in all colors shapes and sizes as for ugly

Diddy Sucks! He obviously has a problem with who he is and he mustant be comfy in his own skin! BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL AND THE BLACKER THE BERRY…u know the rest! I’m dark chocolate and I am very beautiful and I am proud of my heritage and I am beautiful b/c GOD made me in his image!

EB out..ps I will never buy, listen or watch anything w/ sean combs again!

I’m dark and beautiful damn what that ugly ass man talking about. That just shows how stupied he is.

We were dark FIRST. He can’t handle the truth. Done gone soft. Skinny little(Monique)

@go0dgal_04 idk what she mean dark skin is not beautiful.. if u dnt think ur beautiful dats your problem but im beautiful!! 100% so0 if he dnt like dark skinned girls dats his issue! but hey God made me!

diddy …..diddy….diddy tisk. tisk black is beautiful boo has he looked in the mirror latly I mean he isnt a light bright himself diddy should know that business wise thatyou are suppose to attract every race and color when u advertise a product now he may loose sale cause black people may feel like he is being bias which he is… damn diddy black dark skinned people like ciroc tooo lol

Before this article: DIDDY CAN KICK ROCKS

After this article: DIDDY CAN KICK ROCKS

Didn’t change my opinion of him at all…

I THINK THAT STATEMENT THAT DIDDY MAD WAS VERY IGNORANT OF HIM. HE’S CAUGHT UP IN THAT OLD PREJUDICE, THAT BLACKS DO TO ONE ANOTHER. DIDDY LOOK IN THE MIRROR BROTHER YOUR NO PRIZE POSESSION YOURSELF. SO BE THANKFUL OF GOD FOR WHAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED. YOU NEVER KNOW IF SOMEONE MIGHT SAY THAT TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE. SO WATCH WHAT YOUR MOUTH SAY.

WHAT THE #$%&!! HE’S KIDDING RIGHT? HE WANT TO CAST ALL WOMEN BUT DARK SKIN WOMEN?BROTHA PLEASE LOOK AT YOU,U CANT EVEN CLOSE YOUR MOUTH B/C YOUR TEETH R TO DAMN BIG I HAVE NEVER LIKED U ANYWAY (SELLOUT) U CANT RAP,U CANT SING,AND U REALLY CANT DANCE!!AND WHAT VIDEO VIXEN SAID U GOT A LITTLE DICK TOO!!SO GO F**K YOURSELF!!

I see most responders fell for that propaganda bait. Not once in this article did it quote Diddy. Heck I don’t care for him either, but we (especially black women) need to pay attention to the sh&t media sets us up for. It distinctly said: The management company for Diddy’s Ciroc-Imperative Talent Management-sent out a casting call ….nothing about Sean Combs said… come on, be smarter than that. And if he did, & says he did, then get your blogicide on.

Regardless if the article quoted “Diddy”, “Sean Combs” he is in business w/this company and is involved inthe day to day business as his name in on this product, as we have seen on his reality show, and in articles he is hands on w/all his business ventures. So itis a cop out to say becuase he wasnt quoted its not on him. Once he heard what the casting call asked for he should of stepped up…. Did he?

it dont matter to me you like what you like but that makes him look uneducated n hez black as hell n he gotsZ the nerve to say summ s**tt…..please his opinion dont even count!

did anyone see notorious movie? did anyone get the feeling that lil kim was played-out for not being as light as faith and even charlie baltimore who had no role in the movie, but lil cease says she should have had one and not lil kim. Now today she is just as light if not lighter. But hey, what message does this send to Biggie’s Daughter?????? both diddy and biggie have dark skinned mothers right?

wow that is f**k up i am a black beautiful women and i think it is rude for someone to come up to me and say you are cute for a black girl what does that mean…. BLACK IS BLACK

he gay anywayz, who cares

LeT hIm B wIt WhOeVa He WaNnA bE wIt, BeCaUsE wEn U tHiNk AbOuT iT hE wOuLdNt B wHo He Iz WiThOuT DARK SKINNED WOMEN!!!!!!

Puffy can like whatever he wants to like but as long as his endorsements turn away dark skinned women, I won’t be spending a dime on anything attached to him or Bad Boy records. If I stand alone, so be it. But its a stand that starts today.

I THINK DIDDY IS GAY ANYWAY AND BEING THAT IM A BEAUTIFUL CHOCOLATE SISTA, GOES TO SHOW HOW IGNORANT AND DUMB MOST FAMOUS PEOPLE CAN BE WITH SOMETHING SIMPLE AS SKIN COLOR? BEAUTY IS SKIN DEEP NO MATTER WHAT COLOR A PERSON IS! IM NOT HATIN CUZ I KNOW DIDDY GOT MONEY AND HE GOT HIS RIGHT TO PREFER WHATEVA HE WANTS, BUT AT WHAT COST? AND WHY?

AND I FORGOT I BEEN BUYING HIS CIROC NASTY AZZ VODKA! I WONT BE BUYING THAT AGAIN!

F**K ‘EM GIRL, F**K ‘EM! he gay, up there with Kim Porter as his Gotdamn mammy to his kids- she shoulda stay with Al B. Sure- B***HASS NIGGA!

SO THAT’S WHY HE WOULDN’T MARRY KIM PORTER, BUT HIS MOMMA IS BLACK AS HELL , SO IS HE AND HIS SON BY KIM. WHAT THE HELL. DENYING YOUR OWN COLOR DOES NOT MAKE YOU POPULAR, IT MAKES YOU PITIFUL. PD IS A SELL-OUT, CUT THOART F****T

I think Diddy is wack as hell, he got to get other people to sing and rap for him to make a career cause when he was rapping he was wack and didn’t nobody buy his s**t and that nigga didnt go platinum with his wack s**t LOL. I never did like diddy and I always thought he was ugly and lame. But don’t get me wrong Day 26 and Danity Kane are very talented. But Diddy is still wack. Once u go black you won’t go back.

all i can say is…just sad.

THIS IS THE MOST REDICULOUS THING I HAVE EVER HEARD FROM A CELEBRITY….P DIDDY U ARE NOT ALL THAT TO BE SETTING STANDARDS. SIZE 7 OR BELOW I CAN’T BELIEVE HE ACTUALLY ADVERTISED THAT…..HE SOUNDS REDICULOUS…..HIS WACK ASS!!!!!!

Wow…..I’m not surprised…but I think He’d do better music buisness if he’d get some talent on his lable. Cassie is very skimp on skill, one of the most talented people he’s worked with is Jo-Jo, all Diddy has is gimmicks. He hates on Dark women because we’re not attracted to his big headed ass.

give a bish some money and look what happens. a disgrace

y do uglies have standards? because he has money…he has nothin else goin 4rm. he’s ugly, rude and talent isn’t his best quality

well, im a fine ass chocalate sexy woman and i always did think that diddy was a ugly big head with his eyes sitting back in his head ass ugly dude any how and corny ass hell yall alll know nigga can have money and still be cornyyyyyy ass hell just like him!!!!!!!!

wow.. its is so sad that a black person would discriminate against their own. its already bad enough we have non black people that discriminate against black people light or dark. and here we have a black fool like him discriminating. i never have been a fan of him hes too fake and. not to sound ignorant myself but he is the true definition of a Ni****= a ignorant person. he will probably end up like damon dash soon anyway.

who cares…everybody has a preference, he’s only one man and his baby momma not even all that light

That’s funny, last i checked his mother wasn’t any of those races. Typical ignorant black man with money. That’s alright sisters, unless you’ve been under a rock you know that all the recent deaths of black men weren’t committed by dark skin women, let his stupid ass be next to be killed in his sleep by his preference.

well diddy ur ass is black as sin and jennifer lopez is latina so she ne light skin and ur behind is not all that with legs looking like a woman dumb ass

it’s his ignorant preference. It shouldn’t even be noticed!

Privately, I don’t care who he wants. But if that nonsense is public, you ladies, especially model types should be boycotting Diddy. That man doesn’t want any negative hype! What if a non-black celebrity made that announcement? Check him!!

Damn diddy is still going-with his dumb a**-if he is really making a differents between the colors of a woman skin.Then he need to take alook around at his family & ask his damn self what color his-family truly is? You got ignorant ass niggas( like s**t for brains-diddy,who think black woman are not good enough. Darkskinn woman don’t need to let this want to be dumba** Wesley Snipes-think alike-get on there level as to say they would give him the time of day. I know I wouldn’t…not with all his money. I know some poeple might read this & say yes-I would but,im just keeping it-real…money don’t make me & damn sure can’t break me. He is black & ugly,with pink lips & bumps on his face. What an a*shole…even,with his money he still-can’t keep a woman…of any color. lol

I HAVE A BEATIFUL DARK SKINNED DAUGHTER AND SHE IS THE S**T. SO PDIDDY WHAT EVER U WANT IT TO BE U UGLY AND PLAYED THE F**K OUT. BUT HEY AIN’T YOUR BABY MOMMA DARK SKINNED AND SO ARE YOUR KIDS. SO GO FIGURE

THATS A SHAME I THOUGHT WE WHERE PAST RACISM WHEN ARE OWN KIND IS ACTING LIKE THAT WHAT DO THAT SAY ABOUT US.??? I HAVE WATCHED ALL HIS SHOWS AND HE DO ONLY CHOOSE THE HIGHER LIGHTER GIRLS THAT ARE BLACK AND OF ANOTHER RACE… HE SHOULDN’T BE LIKE THAT,CAUSE IF HE DIDN’T HAVE NO MONEY HIS UGLY ASS WOULD TAKE WHAT EVER HE COULD GET…HE’S RUDE,STUCK UP, AND MAYBE EVEN GAY …HE GETS WITH LIGHTSKINED WOMEN TO LIGHTEN HIS APPEARANCE HE’S BLACKER THEN NIGHT WITH BAD ACNE

LIGHT DON’T MAKE IT RIGHT … THE BLACKER THE BERRY THE SWEETER THE JUICE… I WONDER WHAT HE TELL HIS KIDS

I hear lots of people saying it’s stupid, it’s ignorant, it’s a shame, aren’t we all beautiful. But you know what?? It’s real. I am a dark skinned woman and have never let it effect me, but I do notice it. I read a blog on here under the HOT TOPICS…Video: Light skinned vs Dark skinned which stated that dark people can be beautiful when their features are of a European nature. It said that most dark people have negroid features…large lips and wide noses, which make them unattractive. It said that when a person is dark they are less likely to be mixed with something and less likely to be beautiful. And you know what…that’s the way the world sees it. I’ve come to realize that the skin can be dark as long as the nose is small/pointy, and the lips are small and cute. But just take a minute and count the dark skinned women in the world of celebrities. Right off hand I can think of Keisha Knight-Pulliam. I’ve heard people try to say Gabrielle Union is dark but she’s not. It’s never gonna change, so dark girls, get to the plastic surgeon and dont forget to stop by and get that professional weave.

This N’GGA,done went and lost his mind.Their’s nothing finer than a Dark skinned Chocolaty,honey.Now that’s what’s up!!!

First off i wouldn’t be mad at diddy’s preference because i think that he is gay. he doesn’t know what he wants and he’s confused. I am a sexy and pretty dark skinned female with no complaints from anyone that i meet and i think that majority of dark skinned women are exotic and definitely under rated. also being that we usually are assumed to be intimidating because of our mysterious demeanor i think alot of people can’t accept the not so obvious.

I AM NO LONGER A DIDDY FAN……ALL PRETTY WHITE GIRLS LOOK ALIKE EVEN THE UGLY ONES LOOK ALIKE…BUT BEAUTIFUL DARK SKINNED BLACK WOMEN COME IN ALL COLORS AND VARIETIES…I CANT BELIEVE HIM…HE WANTS TO TRY TO FIX IT AFTER THE AD WAS POSTED BUT ITS TOO LATE….THE CAT IS ALREADY OUT THE BAG….WE OFFICIALLY KNOW HOW U FEEL ABOUT US DIDDY…GOOD WORK!! ITS NOT BAD ENOUGH OUR MEN R TURNIN ON US SAYIN THEY WONT DATE US ANY MORE BUT NOW WE GOT A MUSIC ICON TALKIN BOUT NO DARKSKINNED FEMALES WTF!!!!! COME ON MAN R U SERIOUS!!!!!!

Lol dam, why is everybody mad at the guy? Thats just his preference, hes really not into dark skin females.

Diddy who he is wack… Them tight ass clothes he
wears… His money may be attractive but he isn’t…. People
should choose their words carefully… Give him the memo that he
can’t rap and he better not put out another album because he is
wasting shelf space…. Diddy Dumb Ass

he is whack!!

That nigga has lost his f**king mind! Dark skinned sistas do not apply! By that statement right there you are a disgrace to your own people light skinned or dark! You rip off everybody you sign anyway, Thats why i don’t buy your s**t right now probably you still haven’t gotten over J’LO you punk ass b***h! Before you say some s**t like that you need to think about it first before you run your f**king gob you’re probably gay or one of those closet homo’s looking for somebody to gay you up!F**k you Nigga! The only person you didn’t f**k over was Biggie and probably that so called wanna be preacher Mase whos using God as a tool to use and get over women to make them believe he’s gonna help them get their music off the ground!

I’m deeply hurt and offended.

Okay, first – when has Diddy EVER been seen with a dark skinned woman (who was not famous)? In his advertisements, they are all either hispanic or very light skinned women – I noticed that a long time ago. Personally, I say – so what!?!? If his preference is white, latino, and light skinned women- that is his preference. Everyone has their preferences, personally I am thinking I don’t wanna date any Black men that aren’t mixed (regardless of skintone). Why? Because right now, that is my preference… or my preferred ‘flava of the month’. I have had some wonderful chocolate brothas too, but right now – I gotta taste for some Butter Pecan Puerto Ricans… so I say, DO YOU!

Ya’ll a trip. Ya’ll don’t get this upset when VH-1, MTV, B.E.T and various other motion picture companies in America continue to produce racist and stereotypical images of black people. Give me a damn break with all this pointless anger. And 50 Cent said it best that it’s easy to attack one man than it is to attack a corporation. And as much as some of you like to talk sh*t about P-Shi**ty and his penchant for light skinned females. Some of you in these forums are probably guilty of having sexual relations with someone light skinned or someone from another race. So spare me the pro-black bullsh*t cause there’s nothing worse than a hypocrite who know they’re a hypocrite. And don’t front cause a lot of you black chicks if you had the chance to f**k Brad Pitt or some other rich and famous white dude you’d practically break your neck at the chance. Especially if he’s going to be paying all your bills. And a lot of you fake dudes fronting like you’re Malcolm X are the same lame ni**gas in the clubs on the weekends sweating them skanky white chicks and buying em drinks. That sh*t is so funny to me how weak minded people can’t think for themselves and they’re quick to jump on the bandwagon and follow what everyone else is saying even if they know deep down it’s not what they really believe. Do you! Stand on your own two feet! And stop being a follower! And worrying about what the next man is doing!

Read the Willie Lynch letter. This will explain how skin color has separated and decimated us. I don’t know what explains Black on Black Bashing,, but jealousy and ignorance.

he aint s**t … everything is gonna come out about his simple ass…. and i cant wait ima sit back in my chair laughin…. bump him….

What a muther fkn moron i betcha if that s hit was directed at his sorry azz he’d want to take his posse and make some noise. Im sadden to see this bs come from a brotha because i love my people of all shades and he should be one of those to uplift his own instead of joining the bs that has held some black folks down for so long.

He need to step back and take a look into the mirror not a pretty sight with that nasty azz attitude

Diddy went out with Aubrey? GET THE F**K OUTTA HERE

Welp, all I can say for people like Diddy, you better hope that you always have money, because the only thing that makes unfortuanate lifeforms like yourself attractive is ya GREEN. And that only makes you attractive to other snakes out to use you for what you can do for them, no one who wants to stay around. Thus why at the end of the day J. Lo married her own kind, and you played out ya baby mom, the only woman who found the person you were attractive.

http://www.myspace.com/mrdongiovanni, I luv dark skinned, hell if ya red don’t matter

the only reason any kind of woman would want him, is because he’s rich…let him be a regular man , and he’d be asking for all types of woman….any woman for that matter that would be attracted to his punk azz…i’ve never liked him cus I hate how he treats his artists on bad boy records, all the way to craig mack/biggie when he first started BBR. he makes money off them while the artists are broke and now he’s working with Cassie and i always wonder why because she can’t sing, and then i found out it was because they were dating…tsk, tsk

damn SEAN COMBS! my dude got all types of great shyt going for him but he just cant seem 2 talk rite 4 shyt!!! i have just an ounce of respect 4 u still only bcuz u cried when Micheal left us…u need 2 show more of that side and mayb..just mayb… bad boy can b

WELL MAYBE WE NEED TO SEND OUT RAPPERS WHO MAKE GOOD MUSIC TEETH NOT F**KED UP WHO CAN DANCE AND WHO DONT HAVE ACNE SKIN PLEASE APPLY FOR BEING THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE ……. DIDDY LETS NOT APPLY WITH YOUR F**KED UP SKIN ( REMEMBER THE PRO ACTIVE COMMERCIALS) YEAH ITS TOUGH I KNOW BUT AT LEAST YOU GOT MONEY (U STILL UGLY AND YOU CANT DANCE AND YOUR MUSIC IS WHACK.. BUT YOU STILL GOT MONEY I DONT KNOW HOW… BUT …. YOU STILL GOT MONEY OH YEAH ONE MORE THING EVERY LIGHT SKINNED FEMALE OH (AND WHITE) YOU ARE NOT WITH NOW! NOW WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU (THEY DON’T LIKE NEITHER) NOW TO MAKE YOU FEEL A LITTLE BIT BETTER (AT LEAST YOU GOT MONEY THAT’S ALL YOU GOT GOING YOUR SELF ) SOME OF YOUR GROUPS ARE S**TTY AND YOUR COLOGNE STINK YOUR SHOW IT SUCKS ASS BUT SAYING ALL THAT AT LEAST YOU STILL GOT MONEY .. I DONT KNOW HOW BUT U DO

“Dark-skinned girls need not apply?” I wonder if he wished he could have said that sh*t when he was about to be born. WHAT IS DISS TO THE WOMEN IN HIS FAMILY WHO ALL HELPED TO RAISE HIS ASS!

(I know Diddy, it’s the industry, they’re making you do this, they’re calling the shots”, They also make you use the N-word too huh?)

P.Diddy is now JayZ’s B***H! He bows down to him. He sucks his d*ck. Hell he’s even let the man screw him. All of those rappers , hip hoppers, and rising actors have to get down like that to be successful. It’s the norm now. They follow the Kabala (Jews/Hebrews Bible) They do nothing but perform rituals on stage right in front of us. They (Kabala followers) believe that they must reconcile they’re bi-sexual selves by expressing it. So they must practice homosexuality acts (It’s like required reading). Why do you think these young rappers/artist are breaking up with their black girlfriends and leaving their wives. Ever since Eddie Murphy blew up, they’ve been on his ass, now look at him. He’s so SWEET you can see the sugar coming out of his butt and it smells like S**T! Somebody’s been rearing him. Now he’s got some power he’s now sticking it to whomever he takes under his wing. So all you new artist who’ll do anything for money, power, & fame…He’s the GUY!

P. Diddy full of Sh**. His mama as black as I AM!!!!

Yall kno Diddy is a b***h ass nigga thats y everybody dont f**k wit him

The mother of his children is brown skin so I dont think its something personal. However as a black man thats fortunate enough to be in his position should know better than to promote that. That is a direct insult due to IGNORANCE

Wow…oh how I am not surprised…and that’s just it…1 of the mother of his kids are brown-skin and the other 2 look mixed…it’s very personal…

Now thats just some BULL S**T!!!! and you wounder why black women trip the way they do!,child please somebody in his fam dark and his kids that I have seen are dark. Wait Im sorry not dark but brown but if they were dark who gives a rats ass.So what will he tell his daughters or sons when people wont hire or date them for the same reason he didnt hire or date.

NOT A GOOD MOVE…DIDDY….I MEAN IM A DARKSKINNED PUERTO RICAN, I WONDER WOULD I QUALIFY….LOL…THATS SOME BULLS**TTT….TO ME DARKSKIN HAS SUBSTANCE…OR YOU 4GOTTTT?….YOU LOST MAJOR POINTS WITH ME….YOU NEED TO KNOW…YOU MADE A WRONG STATEMENT, AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, WAT R U THINKING, THAT LIGHT LOOKS BETTER….LOL U WONDER WHY PEOPLE REACT CERTAIN WAYS….THIS IS THE BULLS**TTT IM BRINGING TO THE TABLE….UUUGGGHHH…

BLACK WOMEN STAND UP>>>SKIP DIDDY and his AD

lmao diddy is one ugly negro can ur image if he dint have money he be another supid scrub in the streets im chocolate and lovin it so diddy can kiss my black ass and his mamas ass since the b***h is black too

matter of fact i hate that nigga stupid b***h with his gay ass

With his DARK self he has a lot of nerve! Black people should learn to BOYCOTT and use their buying power to voice their disapproval. Boycott Ciroc!

I AM UP FOR THE BOYCOTT!! COUNT ME IN!!!

Diddy is wrong 4 this mess hea….What’s wrong with chocolate….When, I was young, I use 2 hate not being a yella with long hair….Man, Diddy, I jus lost all respect 4 u….It’s hurting 2 dark skin black women everywhere…

how can pd go along with this ? his mama is dark skinned

Its nothing wrong with that..That’s Hollywood, and sometimes you might not fit in to what casting directors want..They have marketing execs who know what they need to get peole to buy the drink, and obviously dark-skinned woman are not who they think can sell the product.. That’s what I love about Diddy he is real, and he knows what he wants.. If your an actor or model get over it.. Rejection is part of the industry!!!

damn diddy the fame is going to his head, i want to know is with all of the shows he had on MTV what artists are making music?

i mean its not jus the fact of no dark skinned feamles….u gotta be a size 7 or smaller….what thick bytches dont like to get drunk too???? SSSSHHHH!!!!!TTTTTT lol i think he need to put a 5’4 thick dark skinned girl in his shyt n hed be ok lol

And we wonder why Dark Skinned Black Women have low self esteems and Bad attitudes. This is just ridiculous; it also reflects that he doesn’t like himself very much, being a Black man. When will this ever end? It’s bad enough we still have to endure racism from Caucasians, and then from our own? When are we going to stop giving white folks the amusement that they enjoy, of seeing us put each other down. To all of my Dark Skinned Sisters, please continue to keep your heads up, amidst all of the criticism. I hope that the good that comes out of this, is that it motivates us to treat each other better, and not put each other down. It just goes to show why God made all of us Black women, so strong.

Dark skinned women only have attitudes because they are ‘allowed to’ by black society. There are plenty of men who want nothing less than a piece of dark chocolate. And want nothing to do with a light skinned woman. Opposites attract. So what if Diddy likes them light. You know he rode to school on the little bus. But I bet men like Sean Paul only want dark ones.

Look at this mess….one of the MANY reasons why i can’t stand his ass….. what does he care anyway, he’s still makin’ money…..

Sad and disrespectful. There are beautiful women in all shades.

…and this ignorant comment comin from somebody whose mama has bright blue contacts,24′inch weave,tits that hang past her kneecaps,and dont forget she dark skinned–he apparently has a problem wit mommy dearest

DIDDY AND HIS MOMMA BOTH LOOK RETARDED. MAYBE SHE THE REASON HE THINKS DARK WOMEN ARE UGGLI. LOL

don’t care about diddy, so don’t care about his preference..

…diddy is a mother effing, ess head
and there are pretty women of all shades. although he has a right to his own personal preference. i guess. but i still don’t like that gosh darn effing eff.
he’s ugly….

I heart Farnsworth!!!

LOL I FOUND THAT TO BE FUNNY ACTUALLY. AS YALL CAN TELL, IM DARK SKINNED… AND MY SELF ESTEEM/CONFIDENCE IS THRU THE ROOF. IDK HOW IT IS IN OTHER CITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY, BUT I GET ALOT OF LOVE AROUND MY WAY JUST BECAUSE IM CHOCOLATE. I MEAN FROM WHAT I GATHERED FROM THE AD OR WHATEVA, WAS THAT THEY WANT THE TYPE OF WOMEN THAT WILL SELL THE BRAND BETTER. AND UNFORTUNATELY THATS ONLY LIGHT WOMEN. BUT I CANT HATE ON THAT CUZ THATS JUST THE WAY SOCIETY IS RIGHT NOW. I COULD NEVER BRING MYSELF TO HATE ON A LIGHT SKINNED WOMAN, CUZ I LOVE MY SKIN…IN FACT I WOULDNT EVEN WANT TO BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN CHOCOLATE SKINNED. SO TO MY FELLOW CHOCOLATE WOMEN…PAY SUCH NONSENSE NO MIND…AS I ALWAYS SAY TO THESE STORIES…LIVE LIFE AND HAVE FUN. OH YEA….THE SAYING IS MOST DEFINITELY TRUE…THE BLACKER THE BERRY, THE SWEETER THE JUICES

I BET THAT MADE HIS MOTHER FEEL SAD, SHE IS DARK AND LOVELY. DIDDY IS ALSO HAS DARK SKIN, WHAT’S THE PROBLEM. DARK SKIN IS TO BE BORN LUCKKKKKKKKKKY.

Well…Personally…I don’t drink white liquor. The only people who i know that drinks white liquor is either white, hispanic, or light skinned black people. LOL.. Nah.. Just a stereotype. I drink dark liquors and cognacs. So i can care less for this commercial because it doesn’t apply to me.. Just thought i could share that thought. =)

How can you say something like that you are crushing every dark skinned girl dreams right now. Your mama could give you the buisness

Sylkiifeather….! Thats whats up, I can say nothing you have said it all. I love darkskinned women and am married to one so damn all the low self esteem…the darker the berry…….you know the rest!

wow thats realy racist! dark skinned gurls are just as beautiful as anyone else

Puffy is an idiot. Beauty comes in all shades. You would think he wouldn’t be so ignorant considering he’s in fashion & music. Its just sad that a statement like that would be pushed by a black man. The last time I checked, him, his children & his mother are all darker toned. That shows that he hates what he sees in the mirror

here is this bullshyt AGAIN……….another black man with the light is right syndrome…..dont get me wrong there are plenty of lighter skinned women out there that are beautiful inside and out……but what gets to me is some black men’s idea that a light skinned woman is a better woman……this causes some of these lighter skinned females to feel as if they are on another level from the darker skinned females…..there are all kinds of beatiful shades of black out there and being light skinned doesn’t make you cream of the crop……..so these men need to hop off of the idea of the light skinned, long haired , phat azz female is the definition of beauty and get a check into their reality…..because those women are truly a minority!!

OMG! When will this ever stop! I understand people have their preferences but d@mn if you doing something publically like this, you’re skin complexion should not be a factor. Diddy of all people should be ashamed of himself! He got some nerve forreal! He’s wack anyway, with his dumb TV shows on MTV. Give it up! None of your bands will ever last!!!!!!!!

wow wonders what the hell he gonna tell them 2 dark ass twins he has when they grow up. he gonna have them bleaching their skin

Diddy need not tlk he’s nothang to look at,I think he’s been turned down by dark skinned women in the past is the reason for his ignorance,stupidity , I dont even feed in to that BS,A person that has issue w/ HIS OWN KIND HAS ISSUES W/self.

WHO CARE ABOUT PUFFY OR WHAT EVER HE CALL HIS SELF.HE CANT RAP OR ACT FOR THAT MATTER AND I HEARD HE WAS GAY.THE ONLY REASON HE MADE IT WAS BECAUSE OF BIG AND SMALL.WE ALL KNOW THAT.SO WHAT COLOR IS YOUR MOTHER AND YOU TWINS GIRLS.YOU ARE REALLY STUPID.

Didd’ys just doing what he believes will make him money.. the “universal appeal” aka MAINSTRAM BRAINWASH… we shouldnt be surprised when every other videos apply 4 these women, check out rap videos.. its all the same thing. It’s the SYSTEM/MEdia w/ their prejudice/biasness and sexism… diddiys one of the victims amongst many many others.

MAINSTREAM*

UM I HAVE A QUESTION. I HEARD ABOUT THIS “SWAGGA CLUB” THAT TOP PROFESSIONAL/RICH GUYS ARE IN? IN PUBLIC THEY TRY TO MAKE THEMSELVES SEEM NOT GAY…WHAT SWAGGA CLUB IS ABOUT IS TEACHING GAY GUYS HOW TO DRESS,TALK LIKE STR8 DUDES,(AND THEN THESE RICH GUYS F*CK THE BOYS THAT THEY ARE TEACHING!..BUT IN REALITY THEY GAY)…IT’S MORE SUPERSTARS IN THIS CLUB. I HEARD THAT DIDDY IS IN THIS CLUB. IM ONLY INTERESTED BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD ABOUT IT…HMMMM…

has diddy looked in the mirror lately? because the paper bag test he’s trying to enforce on women, he would fail himself. lol

ps: size 7? whew

Well on that note he can kiss my back ass =)

sorry black ;)

LMAO I JUST READ THE TITLE ‘ HELLLLLLLLLL NAW ” LET ME READ THE ARTICLE

WELL I DONT GET WHAT THE CALL IS FOR. BUT HE HAD A DARKSKINNED GURL IN THE SATISFY YOU VIDEO BACK IN 99 OF COURSE WHEN HE WAS DADDY! BUT WHAT A SHAME……. WONDER WHAT BIG WOULD SAY?

isn’t his mother dark skinned? maybe the blond wig makes her look lighter….I am truly a dark skinned sister and love mysefl to death….

Diddy need to sit his fake azz down and quit hating on dark skinned women, don’t get me wrong i love red bones myself, lol <<bisexual…but that’s not the point here, the point is that i think diddy is prejudice against his own ppl, damn he dark skinned what is he talkn about….anyway all i gotta say is dark skinned women are very sexxy, and they got big booties…lol

who likes diddy f**k daddy?? anyone…anyone?? nahh dint think so..i mean WHAT THE HELL is he doing i thought he was dead..nah..he just cant be doing good. dark girls are pretty too!!

F*ck Diddy and for his ass to sit up there and talk about darskin ladies need not to reply???!!! how he gonna say that and his strawberry shape ass head is f*cking dark???!!!! Diddy…. you a B*tch.

You got to respect that he said it upfront. PC or not he didn’t pretent to want a dark complexion woman. Plus since when is skinned a word?

his baby mama and children are darker than me….thats my comment…

lol s**t he dark skin this is just funny

i disagree with his post…there are beautiful black women regardless of skin tone. but sadly the media sides with light-skinned women in general. it sells and i think that’s why he says that.

that this mean DIDDY only faq white men and lighter complected men??

Yall cant get mad at Diddy for how he wants to promote his product GTFO maybe yall black azz wouldnt show up well against the black backdrop the clients want to use, ever think of that? Maybe the clients requested only hispanic and white and he wanted to atleast try to get AA girls involved. Like plenty ppl said he dark himself he not gone be like ‘fuk darkskin, its ugly’ be smart for a change people, he jus not lookin for your blacks azzes in this particular avenue, its not sayin he think darkskin is not attractive

And then all the dark skin girls here that are all mad are butt fukin ugly, he wouldnt use YOU or anyone like you anyway, yea its dark girls out that look good but most of yall aint it if anything you provin his point, if it was a point ta be made lol

Why is this still up? “March 26th.”

Props to Diddy!!!!!!!!!! He just became more successful !

Wow his clothing line is call sean john he should be call “UNCLE TOM” .
Dont no darkskin women want his ass . The sad part of this i use to respect
him as a artist.He can kick rocks and keep it moving

fuk outta here diddy country ass darkskin is beautiful he need to kno how to keep his wack ass bands together fukn punk

Yo everyone! How ya’ll doin? well, looks like P.Diddy needs to take it easy my neezy…..Black Women is fine as all beans man, why would he discriminate against them fine Black Females? Well, I gotta hunch, it’s because he ain’t really obeyin’ God’s Laws like he should….you supposed to keep the Black African race pure, but yet he goes for some other lure? please, the cure is pure, our race is pure, that is if you can stay away from the Samaritan lure…..P.Diddy is Black, but he might go that route….marry outside ya race might be one of the surest ways to get circ**cised, get ya banana topskin sliced and diced, cuz double is twice, add one more and call it thrice, more than thrice enticed by white rice, minus i plus a, cuz interracial marriage is halfway gay, you might say, that im talkin’ today, just ask Sway about that hay, and i ain’t talkin bout wheat, i’m talkin bout the kind that might make ya beat ya meat, no treat for beatin’ ya meat, matter fact ya might feel some heat, that is if ya was headed for Hell, cut or uncut, who can tell? yo bell might be headed there as well, if ya discriminate against Sherrell, blacker than chocolate, that’s choco plus late, if ya lose ya 4skin, that ain’t that great, so ya betta keep ya man covered, stay away from beer or ya might get smothered, and i ain’t talkin bout jam, i’m talkin bout the kind that might make ya call for a ban, a ban on this man, 140 percent in an Afrocan….

P.S. Look in Matthew 13:1-23 parable of the sower…. #1: seed by wayside #2: seed in stony places #3: seed in thorny places #4: seed on good ground….for evil folks, first ya might masturbate, then ya might get circ**cised, then ya might get castrated, and then ya might die….then there’s single, interracial marriage, gay marriage, and same race male-female marriage [the best]. furthermore, if ya evil, you might get ya mandingo cut off, pulled off, fallen off, or even melted off. i don’t know much more, but im sure this is what the breakdown is like… so stay in the Bible, Church, School, and Libraries and you probably ain’t gotta worry bout losing body parts……..

By the way, in The Holy Bible, John 11:16 they say [one of the 12 Disciples], Thomas’ named was also called Didymus….so P.Diddy is really Didymus minus mus plus d and we addin’ a P, p for player, p for pissed, P for pretty, p for perfectionist, p for punctual….the list goes on….But Thomas I think was the 7th Disciple – look in Matthew 10:3.

To Foxxy_Brown09: Don’t worry, it’s Black Men out there that love Black Women, and I’m one of ‘em…Black is beautiful! Find a Black Man in due time! Pray for P.Diddy….God Bless Yaz!

To tianna30: Let’s just hope he comes back to basics and likes black women again….and Diddy is a derivation of Didymus, which what Thomas, Jesus’ disciple, was also called….so you ain’t that far from the apple tree! I love our Black peoplez!

To thekid1986: naw, man it’s terrible to do such a thing….he lost respect, that’s like sellin’ out really….what’s a black man gonna do with a foreign woman? that’s sick man! God Bless Yaz!

I’ll catch y’all later….Peace to the Middle East! God Jesus Christ Holy Spirit Bless You Always!!!!!!!

Diddy can have his J’Lo’s etc. More beautiful dark skinned ladies for me then.

Its sad this is coming from a dark skinned man such man (black as he is) But not trying to be funny, He’s mama is a dark black skinned lady herself. not to mention his kids not al b sure son. but his own kids are dark. He really should have thought before he came out with this one.

Thats what sells I guess dey want it to look cheaper..Im dark skinned and dont get offended by this at all cuz hey marride Kim and he f**king cassie I guess we get more wen were not being seen…Wtf LOl he wants models not wifey,main chicks,or 5 stars chicks lettem have they fun its just a faze it’ll fade soon dey always do

Take that, take that……. Who cares! If thats what he needs for this particular or any other business he ventures into, let it be. There are beautiful darkskinned women, thats just not what this venture calls for. So what r lighter complexion women going to get mad if someone said no lightskinned, white, etc women????? If ur secure in who u r, this should mean zip to u! I’m darkskinned and I have no problem with this comment or the latest trend in men being attracted to a lighter complexion on a woman. Cause my beautiful dark skin is like melted chocolate in the sun, it glows and glistens. It is the perfect background to my white teeth, and it adds to the brown of my eyes. It represents a God given protection that (melanin) absorbs the sun so that I can shine just as bright…get it right. He loves himself to much to hate a darker complexion!!!!

That’s so Diddy…I’m not surprised and I never likd his ass anyway…fudge him. I’m light skinned and I love my people no matter what’ the toe of thier skin!

I am very disappointed in P.dummy and the media….I believed if dark skinned sista cant be in videos, movies or whatever,we should boycott and let the light skinned, white or latina buy their products..Then, they will appreciate the dark skinned sista….Do yall want to rally?

What a freakin loser!

F**K HIM…DARK IS BEAUTIFUL…….I LOVE BEING DARK AND IF HE FEEL THAT WAY, THAT HOE AS NIGGA CAN GO TO HELL……..I WILL NEVER WATCH ANOTHER SHOW OF HIS

DAM DIP STICK…I LOOKED UP 2 YOUR ASS…NOW IM LOOKING DOWN AT U ..LIKE GARBAGE…VERY OFFENSIVE…WOW

PLEASE TELL ME THAT MAN(DIDDY) DID NOT GO THERE!! ARGHH!!!

And yet again mind control strikes again…that little beady eyed, lookin like the short yellow bus need to be coming to get his ass doing that same sh…t ALL brothas do, further promote the hate we have amongst ourselves…right now that is the name of the mind control game, on one hand it is “diversity” on the other it’s “light and dark” WAKE the hell up and do what you do is what I say, I have been the sista on the picked over end of the spectrum cause I was too dark, hair wasn’t long enough, and I was too “thick” to be noticed..well that’s cool cause I know WHAT I am and it’s more than some deserve and this mofo don’t deserve a dollar on some vodka if he feels his own woman isn’t good enough to rep him.

ya know .. im dark skinned as well and I havent always been comfortable in my skin bc ppl always made it seem like being dark was ugly. But as i got older i loved me and everything about me .. and p-diddy is just so ignorant to say something like that. Are you kidding me? Its like segregation between black ppl. I dont get and probably never will. its ok though!!

isnt p. diddy dark himself ? i agree with bittersweet , ever since i was a lil girl i have been ridculed due to my darkened skin . over time , i accepted my skin color and my heritage . there will always be that segregation between light and dark blacks . all shades of brown r beautiful and shouldnt be “perferred” over another .

First of all diddy have u look in the mirror lately? sometimes having to much money can make someone stupid!

I LOVE my dark skin and dark skin ladies are total H-O-T-T-I-E-S! P(BS) Diddy ,or whatever he calls hi asself, should be ashamed for discriminating against them! He sort of reminds me of Paul Lawrence Dunbar(poet 1872-1906). but Dunbar was better looking than HIM!

If Sean Combs believes in discrimination then we should discriminate on who we give our hard earned dollars to. Not that I have made any purchases of anything he promotes, I will most definitely boycott Sean John products, Ciroc, and any music under his label. The power is in your money people!

Somebody needs to call him out for that I mean damn, Oprah or somebody because that s**t is f**ked up. with his gay ass

HE LOOK NO GOOD HIS SELF

FUC DIDDY THATS WHY HIS WHOLE GROUP QUIT ON HIS DICK IN THA BOOTY ASS….ND WHO WEARS SEAN JOHN??LOL

lol… I thought I told ya dat we wont stop, I thought I told ya dat we wont stop…lol

[...] Diddy: Dark-Skinned Girls Need Not Apply [...]

[...] Diddy: Dark-Skinned Girls Need Not Apply [...]

[...] Diddy: Dark-Skinned Girls Need Not Apply [...]

That’s typical of a dark skinned dude like diddy, see he never got the girl he wanted before he became rich. So he feels he needs to treat dark skinned women like he have been treated. That’s crazy to be so smart and business wise,but so dumb culturally…

I don’t care for him and if he didn’t have money no one else would care about his remaking, taking somebody else’s hard work, no original talent having as$, he can be on his way.

I’M THINKING IT’S BECAUSE IF THEY HAD ALL DARKSKIN WOMEN IN THE SHOT WE WOULD BE LOOKING AROUND AND ASKING WHERE’S DIDDY SO BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT HIM WE NEED TO SEE HIM LOL LOOK THE MEDIA DON’T CARE THEY SEE OUR BLK. WOMEN AS H O E S LIGHTSKIN DARKSKIN THEY DON’T CARE IT’S ABOUT THE MONEY. THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL THAT’S WHY THEY DO WHAT THEY DO THEY ARE EVIL. SO IS DIDDY BECAUSE IF HE CARED HE SAY SOMETHING BUT HE DON’T BECAUSE HE’S EVIL LOL

Ignorance is all i can say, thats why rascism will never end and we the black people are the most rascist and then we get mad at the white people over something that we ourselves havent gotten over yet.
I was going to buy one of his fragances for my Husband for Christmas, now am not…lol!!!
Am going to buy him David Beckhams fragance instead..lol!!!!

Im sorry I love Ciroc!

He reminds me of Paul Lawrence Dunbar poet(1872-1906), but Paul was better looking and has more class……

I dont like light skinned N***S…i think they went out in the 80′s…lol…so what?! Everybody has their own preference and taste…he makes his own money so he can choose who he wants to pay…when you have enough money and can pay who you choose to pay then do so…until then keep workin for the MAN and quit hating or start your own business!

Say whaaat ? !, Diddy supposed to stepped up and said ” HELL NAWL, IT AIN’T GOIN DOWN LIKE THAT !

What up Diddy, can’t no one around you be darker than you ?

Another ignorant azz color struck black man. His mama is far from light and so is he, but women with a darker hue need not apply as a model in a campaign ad! Some of us black folk are our own worse enemy; constantly complaining about the white man, but will hold the next brother or sister down because they aren’t light enough! Sadly there are others just like him and he’ll probably make adjustments now that someone has called his azz out, but only because he’s being put on blast! BlackHomer Simpson looking on tha down low azz.

wat type s**t is dat im a dark skinned woman and was a big fan of da damn drink but after readin dis s**t i bet i wont take another damn sip of dat bull i like grey goose anyway but i thought i would switch 2 sumthing a lil sophisticated i guess not diddy u need 2 get a grip wit all dat s**t

But if he Say the only reason he do it cuz he don’t want dark kids or he think that color is better that is so ignorant 2 me and I have a problem with that. I’m Black And Im Proud And Nobody Is going 2 Dis My Race While Im Around ” LOL

Sad to see that colorism, aka INTRA-racial racism is still alive and well.

far as im concerned didy can f**k himself

dats funny when he dark his self. I see we still on this color issue. The white man messed us up during slavery time.

this diddy is nothing but an uncle tom who passes on his self hatred of his black genes to the next generation. may he burn in hell

Well…I am a dark skinned female. I can’t get mad at him for his preferences.. when you limit yourself to a certain tone or race…etc.. you miss out on people as a whole…Diddy is nothing but a joke anyways… the only person he was able to bring to fame and not just a one hit wonder was biggie ( the dark skinned brother)… all of his other light skinned or white etc… made one hit and you never heard from them again. By him being so picky or choosy with the tone.. by the way his own skin tone.. he is really missing out on a lot of talent. So he is really getting what he deserves. he is driving his own name and empire in the ground… how far can you go with one hit wonders? Oh well.. his life.. his screw ups…his fall.

WELL SPOKEN KINESHA

This man never cease to amaze me.

Black women of all shades need to come together and stop supporting people who put them down because or their skin color. When the insult comes from one of our own successful black men whom we dark skinned women helped to get him where he is, we need to be especially hard on them. We need to boycott P Diddy’s products. We need to stand up and educate ourselves on every business venture he has a hand in and no longer support them. We need to talk to our fathers, husbands, brothers, boyfriends, and all of our homegirls who buy Sean John, Cirroc, and anything that is associated with Bad Boy inc. and tell them not to support these products. Boycotting the buses initiated by Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King is the reason blacks are no longer riding in the back of the bus. What P. Diddy has done is no different than that. He needs to be brought down and remember what color he is. Apparently his wealth has altered his vision of himself and he thinks he is light skinned or white. Look in the mirror P Diddy what color do you see? Look at your mamma, your kids, your aunts and all your loved ones and tell us what color do you see?

the man say’s he doesn’t want any smokes in his video……so take your booty shaking, eye-rolling, baby having aasss over to robert deniro’s house….hahahaaa

Wellllll…….I agree with all of the positive comments about different shades of beauty. From the photographers point of view, I think it would have been hard to get him to show up in a dark room without that contrast. Just a thought.

One look at Damaris Lewis and Diddy will rethink that statement.

@JUMBO THANKS

I have never rated P DIDDY as an artist anyway..
I am proud of being a dark skinned black women, and P DIDDY need to take a look in the mirror at the colour of his skin and his skin which he most probably inherited from his mother! I will not support any artist what so ever who has a problem with the colour of their skin, and I hope all black people whether the LIGHT SKINNED OR DARK SKINNED will follow suit to.

what’s wrong with those race requirements? I mean everybody knows the hoes with the attitude problems are the dark skinned black women.

Funny how a “dark skinned” black man can make such a stereotypical comment about “dark skinned women”!You self hating negro’es are the worse!Take along look in the mirror. You forget where you came from, until you get a cruel reminder and rude awakening. I do not and won’t support Diddy or others like him. I have heard this about him, and a few other black men in the industry more than once, and I am beginning to wonder if there is some OR a whole lot of truth to it. Why should I put my support and money behind someone who lacks respect for me.If we unite as a race and stand up against this sort of ridiculous behavior,perhaps they will realize that they are only as important as the individuals who buy their records, movies,etc!

this is really sad….just sad that black america even in 2010 still have hate each other …the white man dont even have to get rid of us because we are doing it for them like they wanted all along. All races and colors are beautiful and the only reason why he have those requirements is because around the corporate world and he dont see that many people like himself which make him start to hate his own skin color so if he surround himself with light skinned it can make him forget that he is dark skin himself…it just goes to show no matter how much money u got it dont fix the problems u have from within………..and as far as that comment from i am back for more….just f**kin arrogant dude ….there is good and bad in every damn color of the rainbow …i guess he hate him self too cuz u are dark too. just sad like i sad …now just because a celebrity hate his skin color …followers want to hate themselves too…if we keep going like this we wont be around very much longer ….what the white man wanted all along

Maybe he thought that if all the women were dark no one would see him.

i stop supporting diddy and all that he represents! as a dark woman myself, u wouldnt find me nowhere near that party or buying any of his products! thats a shame that a dark man as so much hate on himself and his own kind! diddy is a punk anyways so he just frontin trying to have as many women around him to hide the fact he is gay and likes men! so he can have as many light skin women around him, but that wont hide the fact that u really into gettin d**k in ur butt!

F**k Diddy, how the hell is he gonna dis dark skins and his black ass was brought in the world from a dark skin?!
He’s wrong for that, and he knows it!

I Sooooooooooooooooooo Argee f**k Diddy with two sick dicks in his f**king mouth and his ass lol are you serious .. Have you even look at your soon too be wife Kim she’s a dark skin chick so your saying you don’t like her neither? Dude you ain’t cute too be disses nobody your wack too your whole dumb ass reality shows everything about him is fake…

I really do not care who dates/marries whom.
I really do not care what a person’s preference is.
I really do not care if one dates/marries one kind exclusively.
I do care, what bothers me is when one has to put down others or their own ethnic group or other’s choices.
People tend to date/marry their own ethnic group It is not a choice or conscious thing. It just sort of happens that way. Just like some people date/marry of other ethnic groups by chance.
Fine.

I know people who only date/marry mixed people. It is deep rooted in their ethnic group. Religion.Foods. Family names and connections.City. Culture. Histroy.Traditions.
Fine.

Some of these people date/marry White by choice and others go Black all the way. Fine with me.Even with this ehtnic group,it bugs me tonoend of people being critical of others.

So back to Diddy. That is low. Now,forads,model cat calls,etc., the business calls fora certain look sometimes.Fine. If Diddy had listed there for ethnic group:
Foreigners,exotic,multi-cultural ,mixed models apply.
I could really accept that.
That could be Black complexion, White complexion, Yellow complexion, etc.
etc. This is NOT WHITE or light in complexion. BTW, that girl on Diddy’s right, our left is clearly Black Amer.Brown in complexion.

I really dont get people. I am African, I mean an African from Africa. You know how the media prostate Africa right ? ( hunger, thirst, war…and so on..) but check this out, If I had to choose the color of my skin, it still would be Black, the blacker the better. And there are some a*****es like Puff Diddy who think being white or surrounded by whites is a good marketing or business strategy. I bet you his IQ is less than 60. Those of you who think that your skin color is a cause of all your failure think again.I dont think there is any employer out there who will fire or choose a lowzy leazy stupid white man/woman over a competent, educated, hard worker man/woman. It’s just a matter of experience. Employer may have found out that the chances of a black man/woman being efficient and respectful is kind of slim compare to white man/woman. I Am a black african man and wouldn’t give it away for anything on the face of the Earth.

and he’s not f**king 40 yr old, demons always lie about numbers

to i_am_back_4more it’s unbeliveable how the fags like you come out with your f**kup face and make stupid comments like that, what color is your mom? cause you are a ugly dark monkey you are the reason why they say blacks are monkeys, look at you, with that white dick in your mouth, i would ask you you to talk but you have to much sperm c**’n out your mouth. you just jealous cause no mater how you try you still be a b***h with a dick in your mouth-next

smh

He is a business man . More white women buy his records and follow his career . I don’t think he is excluding black women from is personal life . He is simply catering to his fan base “white women “. If I was him I would be trying to get all those white folk paper too . Understand business and you will understand Diddy . Follow the Money !

He’s a goofball anyway so who cares!!!!

who care bout what type of women he perfer ….he dont run the world if you dark skinned and you feel ur the ish den there it is

who cares…..its diddy….whens the last time he had a hit album for any of his artist (besides biggie smalls)? anybody? right……….

i believe pac wuz black jesus… a VISIONAIRE. if i make it in heaven put me round that nigga. but 2 be honest, puffy iz a visionaire/business man 2. 50% of the business(ciroc) iz someone else’s. u got 2 please ur partner or they will cheat on ya. models usually are a certain height, we got 2 get hip 2 this game, cuz we all are stuck in it.

YOOO. people be just jumping to conclusions, that dont understand business. business aint personal. that maybe be why diddy is a seller and yall are BUYERS. he might have had access to endless darkskin women, and had the open call cuz he was looking for a specific void to fill. Dirty money is two dark skin females that he promote every day. stop being so stupid and selfish man. thats why most of you will stay comsumers, cuz you buy into bull$hit lol.

Who cares?? At the end of the day he still B.L.A.C.K!! lol

IT DOESNT MATTER WHO HE IS HE ONLY GET WHAT HE PUT OUT,I BELEIVE HE IS RACIST MYSELF.HE ONLY DEAL WITH WHITE.HISPANIC AND LIGHT SKIN BECAUSE HE WAS NEVER OVER J LO SO THAT IS WHY HE DEALT WITH CASSIE.

F**K HIM WITH THEM BIG NASTY DRY LIPS. HE NOT EVEN CUTE TO BE PICKY, BLACK PEOPLE……..

You know Sean John Combs has set us back by at least 100 years. Nobody ever wants to talk about the internal racism, but it’s alive and well today. Diddy is a opportunist and greedy and focused on otwo thing–IMAGE AND MONEY!! It’s soooo funny how all of these stories are dropping that he is banning black women from his event and won’t hire dark skin women to promote that cheap liquid crap he’s selling. Always remember, when you don’t love yourself, it starts to reflect in all aspect of your career and personal life, Kim Porter, who is only a shade lighter then him, has allowed him to take her on a emotional rollercoaster ride, but made a total fool out of his self for Jennifer Lopez, surprising, I think not. When he look in the mirror, he sees his dark skin, something that he really cant change and that’s how he looks at dark skinned women, he can’t change them physically, so he rather not deal with them at all.

ALL BLACK WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL! http://www.moderndayblackmomma.com
Gen Eyes Wide.

Man Fuqq diddy nicca aint did shyt for me and will sell his own ppl out for a damn bottle of liquer. Ihave never bought and will never buy anything attached to his name. They will sell that shyt in the blackest communities and not want to hire someone “too dark” Man get the fuqq outta here.
Diddy all money aint good money nicca. Get real.

Diddy Don’t Do It!!!! We’re warning you….don’t denounce your blackness! Must we remind you? Tiger Williams!!!! Need I say MORE!!!!!

All women are beautiful. http://www.moderndayblackmomma.com
Gen Eyes Wide.

to each their own… not all dark skinned women are negative or ugly so it seems like there is an inner issue at hand deeper than words. oh so well! i love me and nothing else is relevant diddy dude!

trust and believe, a womans color does not make her beautiful if all else is null and void…. like an empty eggshell, just hallow.

Puffy is a fag for saying something like this…I’d beat the s**t out of puffy….He’s a fu**king dickhead..put him and me in a boxing ring and I’ll make him eat those words…Nicca like this makes me ill

LOL LOL 4 A man who’s mother is B.L.A.C.K with blond hair talk’s alot of s**t lol he should be proud for putting down the first B.L.A.C.K woman in his life. You should really check yourself no money in the world can ever change or take the place of a true strong B.L.A.C.K woman.

Puffy is a damn fool and there must be some truth to it,because I have heard this type of thing about him before,many times actually! Now he’s gonna try to do damage control!

wtf see stuff lik dis heats me up..puffy wtf ru ? blacc negro ! a dark skinned blacc ugly nigga so how tha hell u dnt lik dark skinnd gurls…smh dumb yo..

ALL DIDDY NEEDED TO DO WAS PUT OUT AN AD FOR A ” WHITE WOMAN ” BECAUSE ALL THESE LIGHT SKINNED WOMAN DON’T EQUAL UP TO NO FULL BLOODED CAUCASION WOMAN…. BUT HIS BABY MOMMA IS AS DARK AS HIS DUMB BLACK ASS.

I want to know how Diddy is going to explain his ‘paper bag’ comment to his twins by Ki Porter? They looke darker thana paper bag to me.

SO BLACK MEN ARE SO DUMB WHITE WOMEN DONT WANT YOU UNLESS YOU HAVE MONEY …………….BUT I REALLY DONT CARE BECAUSE IM A DARK SKINNED WOMAN AND I LOVE IT …………….SO IF YOU DONT LIKE ME F**K YOU SOMEBODY ELSE WITH AND I ONLY DATE DARK SKINNED ME

I have always thought he was an a*****e and an obliviant arrogant jerk, and now i got my confirmation. El Bastardo forgot that his mama is so black and so not beautiful and she might wear all that fur to hide her ugliness, it still doesnt help her. And what about her babies mamas, they aint light skinned nor beautiful at all. He is just another punk ass b***h with money that forgets where he comes from. No wonder other races look down on us, african american women well because men like him give them the chance to. Asshole!!!

Truly I “grieve” for so many of our black people out there that have internalized so much self-hate and are conflicted inside. And, through their parents and prior generations have been influenced in how to “act”/ingratiate and otherwise “please” (the Uncle Tom and Aunt Jemina) the euro-clowns. Puffy is not alone, kick in Simmons, Woods, Carey, Berry, the entertainment and athletic heads, etc. This includes many black females as well.

Things that make you go hmmmm?

Throughout time, the euro-clowns (as well as other races) have continually ATTEMPTED to place black folks on the “bottom rung’ or areas of society. Now, even the illegal aliens in this country that have teamed up with the euro-clowns attempting to marginalize black people.

Dr. King had a dream. If the brotha were alive today, he’d do a double-take in looking at the progression of our black people. Granted, racism will always rear it’s ugly head being the snake that it is, but many of the “ills” that some of our black people have? “I don’t give a fucc” is NOT going to help nor save US.

Like MLK, I too, have a dream….to see ALL blacks, regardless of origin, became a “self-contained unit” in elevating, helping and educating one another, each other, continue to doggedly pursue our past history, SEE our black children AS future “kings and queens” that HOLD the mantra that “it is a given” that ALL black children pursue EXCELLENCE with a comftable sense of themselves, history and, like our ancestors, “the debt” that they are expected to continue to fulfill.

And the reality is….it does not have to continue being a dream, lying there dormant. Puffy is only conditioned to what he has been taught, the dictums given to him. But still, no excuse.

He forgot that he is a (poor version though) BLACK male.

Diddy is an a*****e for saying that. Look at him!! His ass is not light skin at all. Don’t discriminate against your own kind.

Its obvious Diddy is a confused black man and money has caused him to miss many black history lessons. Lets’ just pray the mother of his children will teach them black history and to take pride in themselves. If the mother of his children is dark skinned obvious the kids are going to darken up as they age, so is he going to love them less. I think his words are going to come back to harm him with his childrens self image. If you think ignorant keep it to yourself.

NOW THAT JUST WRONG, WHAT THE HELL DID WE DO TO NEED NOT APPLY? FUUCK U TOO NIGGIE, LOL

its funny I see a lot of disapproving comments from the same people who talk bad about plus size women and those that speak bad about black men dating outside their race….I would feel sorry or disgusted but ya know..gotta be able to dish-in what you dish-out

these blogs are crazy lmao

DIDDY JUS ABOUT WHITE ANYWAY. ALL THE NIGGA DO IS FLOAT THE OCEAN ON HIS YACHT, GRANDSTAND AND BULLS**T WITH SNOBS IN THE HAMPTONS. I’M TALKING S**T, CUZ I MIGHT DO SOME OF THAT S**T MYSELF IF I HAD THAT PAPER LIKE HIM, BUT I DON’T NEED TO BE AROUND THE “EPITOME” OF CIVILIZED AND ATTRACTIVE PEOPLES TO FEEL LIKE I’M HUMAN OR THAT I’M A SUCCESS. YET PUFF AIN’T THE ONLY ONE I’M SURE WITH THAT MINDSET.

damn puffy, f**king punk. ok he is papered up. so wut. and hangs out wit da hooty snooty. dark skined women r da most beautiful women n da world. not sayn other shades r not pretty, but blacker da berry sweeter da juice. maybe if was a lil lighter he wont b wanting those types. all women should be able 2 apply 4 da $35 an hour.

It is sad to see what America has become into and black people such as puffy are not doing anything to help out. Does anyone find it awkward that anyone who is half black is automatically called black?(Obama). In other words, it’s like back in slavery days. The person is named after the “lesser race”. The mixed people usually got the chance to work in the house. There is no way of segregating mixed people from black people. But you can ask for light skinned black people and you are sure to get a more mixed crowd.

yoo this Deborah bannet chick is wack stop finding these senseless articles on skin s**t i think your a hater who cares about what these ppl think just do you on the real

unless you look like trash but if your a good lookin darkskin then don’t even worry bout this

[...] Hm, this sounds a little remniscent of this: Diddy: Dark Skinned Girls Need Not Apply [...]

[...] Hm, this sounds a little reminiscent of this: Diddy: Dark Skinned Girls Need Not Apply [...]

If this this true Mr. Diddy. you have some explaing to do. To small black children who don’t understand this stuff. remember ashes to ashes dust to dust. We all will turn black one day. If you hate and don’t like dark skin woman I’m so glad I never put a sean john on my back or made you rich. I watch what an artist is doing before I buy any of that made in china stuff. 100.oo for a shirt. give me a break. every body in american should find something to so sell to you rich people. or you need is a dumb name with some crazy spelling and boom you will buy it. Everyone boycot Diddiy and is artist period.

Boycott diddy and his artist: June 13, 2010. Remember dark skin woman everytime you buy a “Sean John” you are paying for diddy’s kids not yours. their empire, not yours. I don’t care if you go to a discount store, don’t buy that mess. The clothes are name after his son. Take that mess back.

HOW IN THE HELL DIDDY GO TALK ABOUT A DARK SKINNED LADY’S. WHEN HIS BLACK ASS CAME OUT OF A DRAK SKINNED P***Y.DIDDY YOU GOT THE GAME F**K UP.YOUR BLACK ASS HELL AND YO BABY MOMMA IS BLACK ASS HELL.SEE YOU GOT REAL ISSUES.WHAT GO’S UP MUST COME BACK DOWN.

I shall give you an outline of action, but before that, I shall assure you that DISTRUST IS STRONGER THAN TRUST AND ENVY STRONGER THAN ADULATION, RESPECT OR ADMIRATION. The Black slaves after receiving this indoctrination shall carry on and will become self-refueling and self-generating for HUNDREDS of years, maybe THOUSANDS. Don’t forget, you must pitch the OLD black male vs. the YOUNG black male, and the YOUNG black male against the OLD black male. You must use the DARK skin slaves vs. the LIGHT skin slaves, and the LIGHT skin slaves vs. the DARK skin slaves. You must use the FEMALE vs. the MALE, and the MALE vs. the FEMALE.

Everybody that thinks this way has issues they don’t even understand.  You can be attracted to whoever you want to but don’t diss anybody else and make ignorant comments that offend people.  Black is beautiful no matter what the shade is and when they really realize this they will be much better off.  Our people have enough to deal with, and I really feel for the children what are they being taught?
