the light skinned dark skinned thing is such a slave mentality. we are all black folk and come from the same roots.

Meagan Good, Michelle Obama, Naomi Campbell and Toni Braxton are not dark skinned. Who cares though. Black is beautiful, no matter what the shade. Let’s stop the self hatred!!!

and after reading all the comments, i’m even more convinced that intelligence in today’s society is a dying quality. a brain is a terrible thing to waste ppl.

ummmmm 85% of these women arent even dark skinned, and most of the ones that are aren’t lovely…Foxy is just ugly, Oprah’s not lovely…she’s rich…Alek Wek is dark, no doubt…but she looks like Kueth Duany(google him).

this article with the photos of these women just show me the scarcity of lovely dark skinned women out there…I see Naomi and Gabrielle, but thats just 2. the rest of these women are light brown/caramel skinned, not dark.

IMHO

What matters most is what you think of yourself. I learned to love the skin i’m in. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so if you don’t think i’m beautiful then hey my beauty not beholding to you. Move on and do what you do. I love my big lips and the gap in between my teeth. In my family it’s different shades and hair of different grades. See ya and love all of you, have a great wonderful blessed day.

The point of this article is that women of all colors are beautiful. Let’s not forget that.

I agree with JJ_lawva’s comment: ya’ll are being too sensitive and taking away from the positive in this article. I don’t see what’s wrong with the comments left by Vancouver, either. I understand dark-skinned chics face unfair challenges as compared to light-skinned chics, but why do ya’ll have so much animosity towards us? And to blackcherry whatever the hell else her screen name is: what do you mean light-skinned girls are the “dumb blondes” of blacks? Don’t be jealous. Its so not a good look lol. I LOVE MY LIGHT SKIN, AND I LOVE MY CURLY HAIR THAT I CAN WASH AND WEAR. {Oh, and the word is spelled R-E-T-A-R-D-E-D. I mean, you spelled it twice, two different ways, but wrong each time.} Ignorance isn’t a good look, either. I love that you hate me.

LOVEMELONGTIME09, HOW OLD ARE YOU FOR YOU TO BE TALKING LIKE THIS. THIS SHOWS THE IGNORANCE THAT STILL EXIST IN OUR COMMUNITY,EVEN TODAY! SOMETIMES IT’S BETTER TO BE QUITE AND ASSUME THE ROLE OF A FOOL, THEN TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND REMOVE ALL DOUBT!

poetic sister ur right we can have opinions. and my opinion is that yall opinions suck! lol

By: poetic_sister

poetic_sister — Sun, 03 May 2009 00:32:14 +0000

Vancouver do you work for blackplanet?, lol. It’s called people having an opinion. The title of the article is called Dark & Lovely and is a so called tribute to dark skinned sisters and as far as the majority of the commentors can see myself included most of the women on there are NOT dark skinned. If the title would have simply been Black and Lovely a tribute to black women the comments would be different. No one has to agree with you and you dont have to agree with us it’s called having an opinion.

I GET SO SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE INCLUDING AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN ASSUMING THAT YOU HAVE TO BE WHITE TO HAVE BLONDE HAIR! I AM HAPPY ABOUT MY RACE AND WOULD NOT LIKE IT ANY OTHER WAY. ANYONE SHOULD KNOW WHY NATURAL BLACKS WITH NATURAL BLONDE HAIR ARE NOT SHOWN. OF COURSE 1000S OF YEARS AGO WE ONLY LOOKED DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF WHERE WE WERE. WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFIL WOMEN NO MATTER OUR COLOR! IT’S SAD BUT I MUST SAY ALOT OF BLACKS HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED WITH THAT MESS!!

“To make things a little more equal opportunity”? What are light skinned sisters considered white now? Are you guys serious. I am starting to think that BP is going overboard with ALOT of their articles. This was a dumb article and newsflash out of the 30 so called darkskinned women only 3 of them are actually darkskin but then again who the hell cares. When did we start determining beauty by skin complexions? Dumbasses

This separate list is patronizing, why is there a need for a separate list. Its like saying oh your not forgotten here is some pictures!! fact light or dark when you go for a job they are seeing a black person. And to the guy saying dark women are ugly you are ignorant go read a book and get a little knowledge.

The day Megan Good is considered dark skinned is a day I am sure the paper bag test will be reinstated… DAYUM! 80% of those chicks were brown skinned, at best! Hello Beautiful, if you REALLY want to honor dark skinned sistas, you have got to do better than that!

@NOPAPERGANGSTER: YOUR COMMENT ABOUT BLACK SISTAS HAVING NASTY ATTITUDES HOLD NO WATER. @ LOVEMELONGTIME09: YOU ARE ONE IGNORANT BIATCHHHH!!!

STOP the Madness!! Most of the women on the list are NOT dark-skin. What is wrong with Hello Beautiful, Good bye ignorance.

OVancouverHurts, dark skin in the black community, isn’t compared to whites, sweety. This is why so many of the black people are saying that most on this list are not “dark skin.” If it were then Beyonce, would be dark skin too. I hope this helps you understand a little.

However this whole this is Ridiculous. Come a little better Hello Beautiful.

Since when is Janet Jackson considered dark? All of these women are beautiful, but why didn’t they just make a list of 10 instead of 30 that aren’t all dark? I don’t know why I waste my time reading these stupid articles. These writers are a joke…
