She had a choice in this commercial...

The very fact that she did that being that complexion that she is MAY speak volumes about WHY - IF she was ostracized, slighted or otherwise hurt - those things happened.

You could just as easily assume that she was ostracized because her barely in the light category self WANTED to be in that light category, acted accordingly - which often includes a disdain or constant distancing onself of people slight darker. Then she cuaght hell behind the audacity of considering herself light when she really isn't in the eyes of those judging.

My best friend is also very light as are 2 of my sisters (JLo - Mariah complexion while I'm Kelly Price colored).

Coming up, they've checked me when I started on that resenting them for colorism the can't control.

I check them when they start feeling themselves based on complexion/hair superiority.

It takes work to break these chains, ya dig.
