[@Marc-King777]

Well, a "darker-skinned girl" in a female group with lighter women of color experiencing discrimination because she is darker is just a microcosm of society as a whole. Even in today's generally more progressive culture, whenever black people mention racism they face today, a lot of white people are dismissive-- and often accuse them of pulling the race card. They want us to move on from slavery and segregation but they can't move on from the Holocaust or their racist Confederate relics from the American Civil War.

It’s a issue when you get stereotyped because of your skin color. Management tried to pimp her out to get a rap group on tour because they thought she could “Mack” them.

If you notice in girl groups, the dark skinned one normally always has shorter hair. That shit is annoying too. The media is very meticulous in the way they MISREPRESENT us. That's just one small thing to be mentioned. But when they said she wasn't "marketable", it was never their intent to make her marketable. Mainstream knows the maturity of people (especially men) find longer hair more attractive (and marketable). There are definitely some sexy edgy looks with short hair, but they usually push that on the darker skinned woman when they are in a mainstream group. Even when you look at the majority of mainstream dark skinned models, they are usally ALWAYS bald or MASCULINE.... or oddly eccentric in style and makeup. So annoying.

I had no idea what a micro aggression even was until I was 20 years old.

You know what, you can’t get mad at Adrianne, be mad at the music industry. She was used as well for her Puerto Rican sex appeal as a TEENAGER might I add and they pushed forward to show this racial stereotype, the spicy New York Puerto Rican that “every man wants”. That in itself is disgusting. As a Puerto Rican women, that issue has definitely caused a bunch of long lasting issues, from fetishization all the way to how people portray us. I honestly don’t think Adrianne had any malicious intent, she seemed really hurt that they weren’t friends anymore

I think Keiley was soo obnoxious n annoying because, 1. she was 14. 2. Her sister/mom managed them. 3. Her role was supposed to be the "preppy valley/white girl". 4. She thought she was the Beyonce of 3LW. She really thought she was white, so she thought she was better than the 2 minorities. She loved the fact that she was pushed to the front without having to work as hard as the others, just cuz of her skin tone. This explains her behavior in Cheetah Girls. She felt Raven was competition n when Disney did to Raven what has always been done to her in 3LW, she didn't like it. She wanted the starpower n role Raven had.

yeah I get the feeling she had to be the middleman for the fights between naturi and keily pretty often

[@it.comes.around]

Keily wasn’t the only problem, but she benefited from the colorism and refused to hear otherwise because her family had power. And Adrienne, who of course isn’t Black, was probably less aware that there was a power dynamic that put Naturi at the bottom, she just new she got top because of the whole “Spicy Latina” concept and didn’t question anything that didn’t effect her. By the time for making statements came, Adrienne was able to deliver everything so eloquently because she actually believed all bs she said. But all that aside, we can’t exactly expect any of the girls of being to blame, they were teenagers and teens fight. The problem here is most teenaged squabbles don’t have enough power to result in life altering consequences. And most teenaged disagreements don’t have the validation of the music industry behind them. Adrienne wasn’t mature enough to realize she all power to change the situation for the better, Keily wasn’t mature enough to realize her actions weren’t warranted and the gravity of the consequences, and Naturi wasn’t mature enough to have to deal with the bull the industry put on dark skinned Black girls/women.
