i was just looking around grandrapidshiphop.com and stumbled upon this:
Another attack on Black Women by one of our own! Diddy's CIROC vodka sent
out a cattle call looking for and I quote, "White, Hispanic and
Light-skinned African American" women to represent his vodka. The arrogance
to specify the type of Black woman has reached back to racism of the early
1900's brown paper bag mentality.
The brown paper bag test was for admittance to Black social societies and
certain, so-called, upscale parties. If a WOMAN was darker than a brown
paper bag, she was disallowed to join certain social groups. This can be
verified by watching old Black movies (usually in black and white) and
you'll see that nearly ALL females are light-skinned. Diddy's Dumb Deed
let's us see that, even though, some progress has been made, real CHANGE has
not occurred.
i dunno if it's been posted in the past year but i thought it was quite interesting
