 ,and you should check your prejudices whether your black white, or whatever. I learned that shit when I was 7 and my older cousin put me in check making a comment about someones darkness. If someone is acting like a buffoon, or their attitude sucks, or you can't stand there singing that's one thing. Doggin' the darkness of someones skin color is NOT FUNNY nor fodder for jovial conversation. That's how intolerance and bigotry get started. Black people in general need to really come up off of that shit. We are the only dumbass group of people who openly sell each other out and express pointless hate towards one another,play it off as a joke or worse as something normal, then get mad when some other group repeats what we say about each other.AMEN. You're right, it's mainly black people that get caught up in the whole skin complexion thing. We are the worst at it and it starts when we're children. I still can't get over a 5 year old's conversation with another kindergardner, "Is that your mother? She's lighter than you!" All I can say is wow. | |

yo Cinnamon, that's my
favorite song of hers right now too!!!  
I played it just last night and I got so full I love that damn song!!! "I wanna be the one who [he] believes in [his] heart is sent from (sent from Heaven)..." because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." | |

just wanna add I've been a fan
of Keyshia's since "I Changed My Mind" came out on 12" (shortly before the album came out) I didn't know who she was thought she was a Kelis knockoff after seeing the video but then I got to know her & her music and now I feel she's a Mary J. Blige knockoff 
(in some very obvious ways) but she still cool and I support her shit!!! 
I have a newfound respect/love for her 2nd album didn't like it at all, at first I'm dying to get into the first 2 seasons of her reality show... I never did catch it on TV because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." | |

I make jokes about Jermaine Jackson being greasy all the time on the org but nobody said anything before "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

But you're right, no one was making as big a deal about it and the Jermaine is greasy thread had way more responses than this one. lol | |

I think Keyshia can pull off a modern soul album with James Poyser. The downside to that is people will compare her moreso to Mary J., lol.
By the way, damn with all the off topic stuff, lol... anyway, I had a problem with her BET performance this year.  | |

I mean, she sounds great on the record and she looks good, she don't need to be doing all of that! | |

I saw the BET performance online and I agree. Hate to say this too and I love Mary J, but she can overdo it on stage too. | |

I can't just see any other female R&B singer doing it. But I guess it's alright. But you see Mary is slowly starting to become more refined when she performs nowadays. So I guess she's passing the torch.  | |

Now why y'all gotta get on my brotha from anotha motha for that? We been crackin' on people. I've seen some beautiful dark-skinned people (like Naomi, Iman, Miriam Makeba, etc.). Akon is not one of them, how about that? | |

Faith Evans has a much prettier voice than both Keyshia and MJB, but gets nowhere near as much attention, besides who's she's dated.  | |

Blame Diddy "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

Blame Diddy As always. Diddy was a problem for a lot of artists' careers. | |

There are greazy people, & there are dark people - 2 different sets of folks. But you were happy to make fun of how dark he is, & now you're trying to spin it...
I just think coming down on each other is a bad habit that needs breaking. It's kind of amazing that people still walk around thinking dark skin is a bad thing, it's the root of a lot of bullshit. So be part of the bullshit or don't, we all got a choice in that... I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |
