Hey, Tyra's management. The show you are running looks and smells bad. Your predisposition towards the beauty of white people kills the air. I will never watch any of your shows simply because you give preference to 10 out of 12 girls who are born with black skin. This unaccountable credit only increases the amount of people who are outraged by results of your show. It is a shame to be so racial.

You are right, I was watching this one show where she was talking to dark skinned Black woman who not only bleached their selves but their kids too, I thought her show was supposed empower all woman and help them feel confortable in their own skin, it seems to me Tyar in losing herself and if she's now careful, her show will be cancled

What are you talking about? Only 4 of the 12 ANTM winners are black, 1 winner is hispanic, 1 is half black, and the other 6 are white! You are crazy Tyra is not prejudice!

I posted on her board about this one. She downs the bleaching but the fact is she seems to favor "light" skinned blacks. I like Tyra but she often speaks to issues she has no experience of --- she would never know what it's like to be dark skinned because she herself is so fair. She can be annoying that way.

If Tyra is racist, then why did she allow a dark black girl, Dannielle to stay on the show and eventually win that flat refused to get the gap fixed in her teeth and when she finally got it fixed, she only had it done half way, when she didn't stop a pretty blond white girl from getting the boot outside of the judging room by Jay Manuel, just because she had already had her hair cut into a real short pixie and she refused to have it cut another inch to look like the style Mia Farrow had in Rosemary's Baby. There is an in depth message on the message board about the unfairness and unequal treatment of models by the judges.

I SO disagree! Tyra is not prejedice! She finds the best models, and it just happens that half of them are white. but there are alot of blacks and mixed winners too! I can't beleive you would go to the horrible extremes of dissing her shows just because you have your OWN insecurities! angry.gif

Unless Tyra is coming out and saying "White girls aren't pretty" or "dark skinned models are ugly" or anything in between you really don't know if she is showing a prejudice. If she only allowed white girls to win she'd be racist against her fellow black models, if she let only black models win then she's be racist against white women. I don't see that happening. There have been, what? 15 cycles? Who are the winners of all of them? I'm sure they're every color under the sun.
