Listen... I won't write a friggin dissertation like some. Promise!

This is no different than the Zoe Saldana bs as Nina Simone. And as long as we, Black Wombn, dont own our image? They will continue to use mixed race women as the sole representation of blackness. Light skinned women are privileged over dark or even brown women. Always have been. Always will be so long as those women are allowed to don the faces of True Black Wombn.
