Butis it possible that's just bcuz young tyra is just waaaay badder then young halle and far more exotic? The Halle from the honey love video ain't the same halle we see today and who officially wuz the baddest alive later in her career....even in boomerang it wuz apparantly believable that eddie could be on the fence about robin givens and have halle in the friend zone...so forget when u first seen em cuz neither wuz in they prime then imo...prime for prime how close is it?
well when it comes to robin and halle.
robin was in your household and schoolyard first.
robin was the fiyoine ass dragon lady cigarette poster girl.
so in boomerang,..timeline and perception played apart in those castings, for me perosnally
as halle was seen as the cute friendzone girl and robin as the aggressive sexkitten. so,..i really can't go off of boomerang cause i know the psychology and ideal it was based off of.
halle had a hair style that also propelled her, career.
so she had components,..and more domestic mainstream permeation.
while tyra was building worldwide beauty lengthening mainstream appeal for the american urban body type.
i am older and i don't think you guys realize how deficient this country was i showing black women of all types before vibrant thing.
when i was a shawty black women were only on tc with loud eyeliner over their eyes in awful neon pastels with a grace jones andryogenous hightop/mohawk.
before vanessa williams or a chance sighting of bev johnson or dynasty with diahn carrol.
it was no other black women visibly in the media who had her beauty highlighted.
so,...tyra was a pioneer for my era after carroll, and johnson.
with a possible older lena horne here and there.
only sex scandal was jane kennedy fiyoine ass.
only black playmates were the tennison twins and one other woman, i can't remember.
they used the jane kennedy scandal to devalue black women in intimate scenes in movie back then as well.
they still were only showing johnson for her beauty and no one else in the modelin world after carrol transitioned into acting.
when johnson was well into her forties.
if there was no cosby show,..i really doubt if there would have been black women in tv and media at all.
as a matter of fact,..you dudes don't know how lucky you are hiphop changed the world.
art barr
when i was a shawty claudia from robotech was the only black woman on a tv show for my age bracket.
you do the math,..since that show you haven't seen a alpha high ranking black female officer in a high quality production since then either
