I was wrong. I thought that this year's presidential race had us all discussing race and our prejudices more freely. Apparently, the relationship of Usher and the former Tameka Foster is bringing blacks and their issues with race to the forefront.
Reading Necole Bitchie, I was reminded of this quote by the then Tameka Foster that was given to Essence magazine:
"We [black women] don’t like ourselves. If I were Hispanic, Usher would have the sexiest wife alive. If I were mixed, he’d have the sexiest wife alive. But he has a black girl, and it’s like, ‘She’s horrible and she’s ugly!’"
Yes, Tameka, yes!
Some people think you're unattractive just because you're not light-skinned.
Damn shame!
