I guess my problem with the commercial was that it did not really reflect anything positive about the African American experience. I mean if I were to do a commercial for Black History month, I probably wouldn't be going on an on about how light I think I am or whatever... The direction of the commercial was all wrong. To be honest, I am looking at her differently now... I know we all have unique experiences being African American and such, but come on, she gets on national TV, with the light shining on her during black history month, and she says that she is proud to accept herself as a LIGHT SKINNED black person?! WTF?! Is she really proud? That's all I'm sayin'
