Will we ever see another black female artist that actually looks like a black woman?

[GilSho]

I don't get how black women incessantly complain about Colorism & the black mans supposedly inherent love for redbones yet only support black women that look absolutely nothing like them.

We went from having the likes of India. Arie, Monica, Lil Kim, Brandy, Missy, Erykah Badu, Foxy Brown, TLC (Chilli ), Lauryn Hill, Mary J, Toni Braxton etc dominate the 90s music scene to the current era where they refuse to let anyone that isn't Beyonce or Rihanna get any shine because of tribalism & idol worship.


EDIT: I just remembered these beautiful black women are getting shine on Tumblr & Twitter.

Oh and can y'all please stop making the fukking Kardashians relevant? They would have disappeared like Paris Hilton did if it wasn't for y'all dedicating countless blogs & forums to those talentless cave bytches.

Because colorism is a 90s invention, right?

 

[bcrusaderw]

Tinashe looks like a black woman.

Yeah, a black woman with a white mother.

FKA Twigs and Tinashe could be twins. It's uncanny.

Nope. If I didn't know she had a white mother I would assume that she's AA.

She is very clearly biracial. Her pointy nose and hair are a dead giveaway. Even in this beautiful "ethnic" picture of her you can tell.

Ya'll really put too much energy into this
