I think it has more to do with the mainstreamification of black culture. in the nineties and eighties when underground black music was only popular amongst other black peeple, most female stars looked remotely like the average black woman. Now because black genres and to a certain extent black culture has become mainstream and uve got Stevens and johns going to Dr dre concerts, most female stars now have to appeal to a broader and more diverse demograph. Hence ambiguous/light skinned black women like Beyoncé and ciara are now popular. It's more of a corporate decision than a reflection of the black community.

This is the doing by the media.
I always wonder how I'm supposed to respond to these statements because people always say slick shyt to me like that. My cousin was like, it's easier for you, you're light skinned
. I don't even think I'm that light skinned...
