In hollywood?
I was thinking about this when I was in alone, I realize alot of stars have broken out and proven diffrent kinds of beauty, Jen Lopez with a bottom, Mariah Carey and those thick legs , Angelina Jolie and her mouth, so they have shown that diffrent types of beauty are acceptable. And many people concider them to be the most beautiful woman around, etc. The diffrence is non of them are darked skinned. I was just wondering when it will be acceptable to be anything other than a mixed black person in hollywood? I am medium/dark brown and could attain light skin if I needed to , but I dont want to. I would rather persue acting and see where it takes me from there. And yes I am aware there are some dark skinned actors(ress) out there, and Im gonna give them thier props, but they certainly arnt the majority or very popular. What gives? Am I gonna be dead and my (maybe ) future great grands it there 40's before this happens?
thanks!

There are many very pretty actresses who aren't mixed Queen Latifa is a beautiful lady... Angela Bassett is another great dark skinned actress and lets not forget Whoppie Goldberg who is pretty in her own way but a great actress is doesn't matter what the fad of the week is Great acting will shine through looks every time

seems like you dont read the magazines that constantly go on about Halle Berry ......
oh and when you say they arent the majority, well are the majority of population in America dark skinned?if the answer is yes, then you have a point. If the answer is no,you dont.

Load of dark skinned beauties and always has been throughout history.. I frankly think Halle Berry is the most beautiful women in the world.. erm. my 2nd guess is the bollywood "indian" actress Aishwarya Rai . she is a killer looker. see this link

This is the kind of racism i hate...when you point out things that are completely untrue and false. You are just expecting things for your color rather than merit or just ur true beauty. Its not like ppl are sitting around going "make sure she's not mentioned as beautiful she's too dark"...how stupid.

actually there are a lot of popular dark skinned celebrities in music and film; queen latifah, halle berry, denzel washington, morgan freeman to name some.
i understand there is racial pressure, but don't ever let what you look like stop you from doing what you love. treat yourself with love and respect even if others don't.

I'm a light skinned brown haired male, and we're not too popular either, but I could care less.
