"....Back then????????????????" Jill isn't in her 50's, she is twenty-something. And someone please enlighten me as to how one can be a proud "light-skinned black woman"--her exact words at the end of the commercial. Yes, the taunts from those super ignorant "colored" folks when she was a child were painful; but if she has worked through her stuff PROPERLY, she should have come out, "BLACK AND PROUD" (BY NOW ANYWAY); not "Light-skinned black and proud." WTF is that?

If that was a slip, she better call MTV and reshoot that effery....i know one thing, my niece and nephew will not be watching MTV until MARCH! No black child should have to hear another black person saying that nonsense in 2001....I can't think of one light-skinned black person in this country who would make a foolish statement like that.

It woulda made better sense if she said she was taunted because she was fat.
