The SHADE Debate: Are ‘DARK GIRLS’ Treated Differently? Watch Documentary… [FULL VIDEO]

Jun, 24 2013 | Written by ATLien

The television premiere of “DARK GIRLS: The Story of Color, Gender and Race” aired last night on Oprah Winfrey‘s OWN network, however the movie hit a few theatres late last year.

[FLASHBACK: ‘Dark Girls’ Documentary Premieres in ATL – Is Life Different For Darker Women?]

Just days after Paula Deen’s lack of racial sensitivity hit the net, the documentary addressed the touchy subject of ‘colorism’.

Colorism – a term coined by author Alice Walker, is used to describe a form of discrimination based on skin color i.e. prejudice or discrimination in which human beings are treated differently based on the social meanings attached to the color of their skin.

Don’t act like it doesn’t exist…

[FLASHBACK: Fantasia vs Alicia Keys: The Darkskin/Lightskin ‘Homewrecker Debate…]

We’ve talked about it… argued about… fought about it but every day we witness it firsthand in our music (like when Waka Flocka Flame announced he was giving up black girls, or when Lil Wayne raps about ‘redbones’), in print ads (like Beyonce in ‘blackface) and even in our everyday lives.

We’ve all heard phrases like?‘she’s pretty for a dark skinned girl’?and ‘light is right’?but it’s so common that most of us don’t even acknowledge the issue when we hear it.

It’s a problem so deep-rooted in self-hate that I don’t know if talking about it will even make a difference. ?But I guess discussion is always a good thing. ?Maybe at least one person will become enlightened.

The journey of a million miles begins with a single step…. right?

The ceremony was being taped for Nene’s RHOA wedding spin-off, ‘I Dream of Nene: The Wedding’ and guests of the swanky event were required to sign confidentiality agreements in advance.

Of course you are aware that the ‘bloggers’ who brag so much about being at RHOA events can’t actually BLOG about them until they air, but fortunately for you… I stayed away so that I could spill ALL THE TEA in advance!

BTW… I had a dream last night that may have been a premonition:

How coincidental is it that Judge Mathis officiated Nene & Greg’s vow-renewal wedding ceremony? Ha!

Anywhoo… check out the Leakes’ official wedding program PLUS exclusive details (SPOILER ALERT) & photos under the cut… Continue Reading…

Paula Deen Wants You N-Words To Know…. [VIDEO APOLOGY]

Jun, 21 2013 | Written by ATLien

Celebrity Chef Paula Deen is at risk of losing her well built reputation for being a true southern belle after it became known that she frequently used (or ‘uses’, depending on who you ask) the n-word.

News of Deen’s sticky situation quickly traveled, sparking a popular social media trending topic that pushed the envelope on racial jokes.

[READ: #PaulasBestDishes Becomes Huge Viral Racial Joke… ]

In the deposition that contained her admission of the use of the ?N? word, Paula said, ?We have all told off-colored jokes ? Most jokes are about Jewish people, rednecks, black folks.?

[READ: Transcript of Paula Deen’s Full Deposition…]

Deen first explained that she only used the term in reference to ‘bad’ Black people and the cook, born in 1947, also attempted to add age to the list of reasons for her racist comments.

A statement issued via her company, explained:

?[Paula] was born 60 years ago when America?s South had schools that were segregated, different bathrooms, different restaurants and Americans rode in different parts of the bus. This is not today.?

Up until this point there’s been no apology but Paula had been expected to do so during a scheduled appearance on The Today Show this morning (she was a no-show). Now Deen has posted a short apology on YouTube and appeals to the masses to forgive her for her mistake.
