lol@ everyone ignoring the purpose of this thread. this is mainstream media for ya, they doing the same to nicki. to them white is right. black is unattractive..

This has been happening since Diana Ross. These black female celebs are doing this to themselves. The media might facilitate this but these females know what they're doing. Even India.Arie looked a few shades lighter in some mag. lol @ Brownskin GTFOH...

This white girl at work thinks that racism is over I just told her the other day it's still around it's just covert now so much so that you might not even notice it when it's right in front of your face.

We need more black people behind the camera and in positions of power in Hollywood so that we can control our own image.

Meh... They're females and this is the illpixs... We had a good run with bitches tanning themselves and getting ass shots to look black... Now its time for them to look white. Bitches go were the the money go... I don't expect them to have pride n shit.

I'll tell you one thing, mainstream has been doing that since Bernays revolutionized public relations. Thats why we're in the state that we are in.

That pic is clear-cut "whitening" the image of Jessica.

On that note, I want to share this:

Just in case what I posted when over your head, you would think that today's media with the presence of a black president, with the emergence of the internet and world communication and information, and expose to many worldwide cultures and trends, you'd sense to think racism doesn't exist anymore. But with the Beyonce and Jessica Lucas whitening pics, and when ELLE magazine compared Gabrielle Sidibe to slimmer, sexier white women like this..

And the lost of value in the black community that accepts the hidden stabs that the mainstream media poses to us. Then It should be no surprise that this type of image would be in magazine stands. No one is going to value you as much as you value yourself. We don't have enough positive black figures representing with "PRIDE" in the industry...WHY?, who controls the industry? And is it their responsibility to show the another race in the positive light?

If I saw that magazine I would have noidea tthat's supposed to be her

 

[Dr.Chemix]

WTH? It's called background and camera lighting. Also wth to IP becoming a discussion subforum. We post bitches up in here...awareness or so called awareness can be found in GNS or growing pains.

 

[dallas' 4 eva]

I don't give a fuck what she look like, she fine as shit I'm going in raw until she can't walk no more.

 

[MR.CJ]

light skin is the right skin

 

[PILL_COSBY]

Yo, I always wondered do these chicks ever get any say in what gets published?

 

[Kat]

Soooo..I'm the only one that doesn't think she looks all that different?

Maxim, Complex, etc always airbrushes the shit out of females, plus it's an outdoor pic, different lighting.

yes youre the only one...

its blatant and obvious that they altered her image to look more caucasian... not just airbrush, photoshop... but the intent is to make her appear less "colorful"...

 

[Kat]

I guess.

Not to say it doesn't happen, I just don't really see it in this instance.

I don't even know who she is though.

 

[Shizlansky]

That last pic is ridiculous.

It's just the contrast of the photo bruh.

Photographers regularly fuck with that kind of shit.

She allowed then to publish her photos this way though. This tells me that she approves of how she appears. I wouldn't know that was her if her name wasn't given.

She probably assumes most people understand that her appearance is a result of the photo's contrast.

Kind of like how one would assume that most people understand their skin is not gray just because a photo is in black and white.

The whole picture would be black and white so I doubt that would be an issue. A girl with brown skin who looks completely white in a normal photo is a whole different issue. That's also why posters here are reacting as I am.

It's not a normal photo though bruh, the contrast is high as fuck,

Photographers just being photographers, nothing to see here.

This is just an example of what Uncle Rukus would do to all black women.
