Damn, first Jocelyn Wildenstein steals one of Jessica Simpson's wigs.. now Mary J has gone and done the same thing!


I think the blonde black girl thing almost never, ever works with anyone.


I hate it when dark skinned black people try to wear blonde. It never looks right, no matter who it is (Lil Kim, Mary, Puffy's mom). And before anyone gets upset, I'm black so I can say that


Gravatar I'm white and I think it's wrong too. It's as bad as when white people try to get dreadlocks or cornrows. It just looks stupid and fake, and actually worse than Mary J. here.


Gravatar Mary J's signature look is the blonde look. But I also think Gwen Stefanie and Christina Aguillera look a hot mess with the white blonde hair too. Even some white people don't look good with blonde hair.


Gravatar She looks like a secretary from 1987.

Nicole: really, you think she's dark-skinned?


Gravatar You people (crackers) are a bunch of FUCKing HATERS!! I think Mary looks great as a blonde...she's always been hasn't she??? Maybe the hairstyle isn't the best style ever but Mary looks great as a blonde...like I always tell all my dumb as white friends...stop commenting on shit you know nothing about...since when blacks can't be blonds?? You freaks want to be everything black(music, clothes, etc.) but as soon as a black person does anything that is remotely considered a white thing and it gets to the mainstream media, you assholes want to comment...listen, if you never been to the ghetto, stay the fuck outta the ghetto!


Gravatar I'm not racist, but African Americans should never, ever dye their hair blonde. It just doesn't work.


Gravatar I've asked before but never got an answer, what the fuck does "cracker" mean and how is it an insult to white people?


Gravatar I thought changing the way we could leave comments would keep the racist assholes from leaving racist ass comments


Gravatar I think Mary J looks hot. She's highly respected entertainer.


Gravatar Oh great, the race nazis are back


Gravatar Hey - dont fight - lets all bone and live in harmony... (*wink)


Gravatar Crackers are good with cheese wiz.


Gravatar "Crackers" is a term from pre-civil war times. The slaves used to call the person who whipped them a cracker, because of the crack of the whip.


Gravatar cracker u ask? 5:05 would you like oxicontin-er instead? i just glad they cant blame that one on black people, just keep robbin' those pharmacies dopies!!


Gravatar anhoni Yeah she is. But in all fairness, I'm light skinned so maybe that's why I think she's dark. I guess it's all to your frame of reference. My other black friends call me white...


Gravatar And no, FeFe it has nothing to do with 'white trying to be black vs black trying to be white'. If something doesn't look good, it doesn't look good. I've seen some white girls with braids and it looks pretty. They're not saying "hey I want to be black...I know, I'll get braids"...they like the braids. It's called a style. And my point was based on her skinned complexion, I personally felt that it does not look good on her. I'm light skinned, and there are shades that would look horrid on me but perfect on someone darker, and vice versa. That's all it is. What looks good vs what doesn't look good.


Gravatar Well fuck all the race baiting. I think she looks fabu! She's a hell of a lot more attractive than Lil' Sleaze and her stick-on pasties.


Gravatar thanks dullbrighteyes, I never had any idea what that expression meant.


Gravatar i think her complexion is beautiful...sometimes she can pull off blonde, a darker one of course....


Gravatar She looks like Loni Anderson circa "WKRP" with too much self tanner.


Gravatar she's been blonde longer than most of ya'll have been alive, seeing as how some of you sound like 6 year olds.


Gravatar A darker 'honey' shade (like the colour at her roots) would be more complimentary to her skin tone. She's still sorta rockin' this shade tho. Maybe it's combo of hairstyle and color that's off?

Eve, on the other hand, owned the platinum blonde tint when she was wearing that ultra short pixie cut.


Gravatar just to clarify....I didnt mean to start all this annoying racial stuff again:
most of the time blonde hair doesnt work on black people because it just doesnt look right. a lot of the time dyed blonde looks pretty bad on extremely pale, naturally red haired people as well (lohan) people with tan/olive complexions usually dont pull of red. and practically no one can dye their hair jet black and have it look ideal. yeah, sometimes it works (eve does look cute platimun) but usually its best to keep your hair somewhat close to natural looking.


Gravatar Mary can rock that shit forever! Blonde fits her personality.


Gravatar L'Oreal Bronze cream#5, what is that? and who uses it? lalalalalalalallalalala1!


Gravatar I'm not crazy about platinum on too many people. I love Mary, but I think she could come up with a better hair do. This is not the worst display of blonde Ive ever seen though.


Gravatar Being black does not give you the only right to make observations about blacks, just like being white doesn't give you the only right to comment. Get that chip off your shoulder and get real!


Gravatar cece that was not my intention. I thought maybe someone was going to take offense to what I said (like I was trying to race bait or something) so I just wanted to make it clear that it was an opinion--not a racial war starter. I could care less about color.


Gravatar Look people...I know I might have been a tad harsh when I made my comments, but some of you (black, white or pink) just don't know what you are talking about...First of how can you just make a blatant statement that blond hair doesn't look right on blacks...that shit sounded crazy!

Also I was kinda pissed becasue As "Miss Wanda" (In Living Color) would say...."Don't nobody talk about Ms. Mary J. Blidge" That's my girl...love her, grew up with her and I am extremely proud of her and how far she come in her career! So my bad...lets just agree to disagree!!

So can we all just get along???


Gravatar fefe shut the fuck up. don't try to quote ILC just cause it started rerunnin on BET last week. you fucked it up anyway. nice try but stick with what you know.


Gravatar one more thing, the character is Benita Butrell, played by Kim Wayans, Wanda is played by Jamie Foxx. annnnnnnnnnd I forgot to bust your balls about the 'if you never been to the ghetto, stay outta the ghetto' comment, wild guess but somehow I think you've never been to one either. damn, people like you make me wanna blow shit up.


Gravatar beserious, don't blow shit up! It splashes!

Anyway, I think people get confused between discussing skin color as far as appearance and skin color as race.

When people get their hair colored by professionals, the stylists use the skin color as part of the palette and take in consideration how your skin color is complemented with a particular shade. Same as choosing clothes that complements your shade. Some black people would look great with the shade MJBlige is wearing. I think she looks a little old. When it was slightly redder it softened her face more. Also, the style, to me, seemes to matronly for her. Like someone said, she looks like a secretary from 1987. But she's Mary J. Blige! She should look fierce!

I don't think that blacks should NEVER wear blonde hair, they should just make sure it works with their particular skin tone. Also, I think short blonde afros are cute on SOME.
I guess not only is it the color, it's the style and ability to work it.

For instance, I think the William's sisters aren't really working their look. They'd be sooo beautiful with natural hair; whether afros, twists or dreads. Their features look too harsh with straight hair. Just like white women with pointy features (Celine Dion) look to harsh with blonde, straight hair. It's not about race, just basic elements of design.

It's the same with every race. With whites, one false move with dye, you're trailer trash. With people of color, one false move, you look ghetto. I'm black and I stay away from red. With any shade of red my skin looks ashy and I look like I'm 'bout to cut somebody! Too scared to try blonde...I have very vocal friends and family and I don't wanna hear it.


Gravatar FUCKING NIGGERS TRYING TO BE WHITE


Gravatar Anonymous w/the long post, you are very insightful. Making a lot of sense. Next time, put your name so you can get your props. AHahhaaha

The person that defined "cracker" I think was just pulling your chains - those that fell for that. I don't think it has anything to do with the crack of a whip by some slavemaster. What utter rot!


Gravatar OMG...sad, sad comments...no wonder the rest of the world hates and laughs at America.......
