My gal pal & I both said the same thing. We hear all this talk about black is beautiful & but when it comes right down to it, the old colorism messages are still there. Need a lead actress for love interest? Go for light skin & modified Caucasian features.Darker girls are aften cast as the “party girl” type as in “Coming to America” There’s also a thread on Nappturality.com about how photos of black celebs,esp women, show lighter & lighter skin tones the more successful they become. The prime example being photos of Beyonce.There’s also threads on the documentary “Dark Girls”( by very dark skinned actor Bill Duke) about the ridicule & disrespect dark skinned women get.

I thought it was clever, funny and fresh. Hopefully people will show up and support it.

However, since it was written by an Afrobella reader (Yeah!) I’ll be there opening weekend. We have to support each other.

If the guy is dark, it is okay–but tell me the last time a brown woman (beyond a shade of even caramel or mocha) played a major love interest. Getting tired of it. Don’t know if I will be seeing it.

I hope it is released in the UK at the cinema and not straight to dvd as usually happens with great black films especially if like me you do not live in one of the major cities

congratulations to the writer too. This looks like a feel good film and must be worth seeing,. I will wait patiently in the UK to see it
