KELLY Rowland once wanted to look white. “It’s said that brown-skinned girls don’t sell magazines and that’s so sad,” the sexy songbird tells next month’s Essence. “I remember wishing I was more fair-skinned, but Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mom, would say, ‘Don’t you know how beautiful you are?’ She made me come into my brown beauty. I didn’t get it, but now I do. I am chocolate and beautiful and loving it.”

How do you expect her to think!! Being surrounded by Beyonce, her blonde weaves, and Tina's bleached skin.

What is Kelly talking about though? She's not 'brown skinned'.

The rapper Eve and the actress Sanaa Lathan are brown-skinned. Kelly is straight up DARK, and beautiful with it.

Kelly is brown-skinned Yoruba princess. But to answer your question Kelly's Black mother was probably no where to be found. Like alot of weak, dark-skinned mothers who refuse to affirm there daughters beauty.

Yeah and only the dumbfucks would find that entertaining.

Interesting NTFS you "pride" yourself on being a sophisticated, and well educated man.

YET!! You are so amused by a silly, childish, 5th grade comment like that!!

AGAIN INTERESTING!!!

This thread makes one wonder how different the responses from the women here would be if they all were light(er) in skin tone (i.e., cashew and up), had genetically straight hair, and had non-Negroid facial features, no junk in the trunk, etc. Hmmmmm.

I'm chocolate


Tina's bleached


Kelly's momma is darkskinned


Eve is brownskinned


Kelly's bleached


You're kidding


Darkskinned people are weak


You're childish


Lightskinned people are better than darkskinned


They are smarter and more sociable


They bleach their skin too


My momma said so


My momma's smarter than your momma


And so is my daddy

"Chocolate?" Do you really want to "GO" there? In your case, ignorance may trump bliss.

Chocolate pussy? Well, to paraphrase a famous author: I've climbed into bed, but in the end, I've always climbed out of it. You can't spend your entire life with your face buried in Boston cream pie....

"Interesting NTFS you "pride" yourself on being a sophisticated, and well educated man."

Well, I never said that. And if I was trying to make such a point, I would use different words.

YET!! You are so amused by a silly, childish, 5th grade comment like that!!

Wow! Thanks. We do agree! I thought those comments about light-dark skinned and skin bleaching was silly and childish too! But Negroes embellish and thrive in gossip about divisive petty issues like skin color differences. Glad you noticed also SS.

Everyone so afraid of being DARK skinned. If Kelly Rowland is 'brownskinned' then who or what the phuck is DARK? Do you have to be as black as Alek Wek to be considered DARK these days?

That is why these discussions about skin tones/complexions/colors go in circles. Everyone sees light, brown, dark, etc. differently.

Nahhhh. In the blue vein circles (which still exist), Gabrielle Union is considered dark, so it's all relative.

Dang!! Don't be so bitter SS. Much of your ranting and vitriol stems from failed and negative experiences with black men. You should not take such anger out on an entire race of men. You'll find someone one day. Ya just gotta lighten up a little. OK.......? Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
