Its personally happened to me, have seen it happen to other women. Also have people tell me or read post in threads about it.
My personal experience. I have been walking by & had a group of black teens yell out " Do something with your hair!" when I first went natural.
I had dudes make fun of how skinny I was for a black girl.
Ive been at work and a black male co-worker comment on my butt size in front of a black male supervisor
I've had black male supervisor compare my hair to Ben Wallace when was going natural, this dude used to make fun of me in front of other black male co-workers.
I used to get picked on for wearing weave. And also got made fun of for going natural.
I saw a black dude call a chick "ugly" to her face, in front of people by the way. When her friends told him she thought it was cute.
Its fine if guys dont believe me but when the Me Too & Colorism movement starts moving to Black Entertainment Industry & in real life some of the stuff myself and other women have talked about will be confirmed. A lot of rappers, athletes, actors and even regular 9-5 dudes will start losing their jobs.
'Straight Outta Compton' -- Casting Agency Admits Mistake ... Not All Poor People Are Fat and Dark
Straight Out of Compton casting call
The people behind the "
Straight Outta Compton" movie say they're NOT just casting overweight, dark-skinned black girls to play "poor" people in the movie ... telling TMZ the casting ad was an "innocent mistake."
The ad went viral -- with the casting company inviting L.A.-based women to apply for one of several categories of extras that will be featured in the film.
The casting agency used an A, B, C, D scale to group the women. Here's the breakdown:
A) "Hottest of the hottest. Models" (open to women of any race)
B) "Fine ... Beyonce is a protoype here" (light-skinned women)
C) African American girls ... Medium to light skinned with a weave
D) "These are African American girls.
Poor, not in good shape. Medium to dark skin tone."
People were upset ... since the "D" group was the only group associated with an economic class -- "poor" -- and it was made up of only dark-skinned, out of shape black women.
But we spoke with a rep for
Sande Alessi Casting who tells us ... the ad was an "innocent mistake" -- and when it comes to casting the "poor" people, they're also looking for women of various skin tones and body types.
As for people who claim the A,B,C,D grouping system was racist -- Sande Alessi Casting says it's the usual method they use to look for different types of people for any project and it wasn't meant to offend anyone.
