This is my first time on the boards...my response is brief:

The problem is, i nor the people i know who have commented on this, NEVER considered Jill to BE light-skinned. I have seen her in real life and a many times on her videos--she is not whom i would consider to be a light-skinned sister. Hey, but maybe in Philly the "paper bag" rules were/are different.

Couldn't she have ended the commercial by saying she's a "proud BLACK woman."

Poor confused, talented Jill!
