It didn't and doesn't matter to racists whether someone was light skin or dark skin, whether they are European looking or not. It mattered that they were black. It is admirable that two black women are covering these issues. Stop trying to make infighting over yet another aspect of race. It's not cute and it's not a good look. You're basically saying you expect all black women to look one way and one way only. It's not cute.

Is Bey Nubian? I thought she was Nigerian/Ghanaian

I think theres a big difference between wanting to look white and wanting to be white. Some of you should learn the crucial difference. Lighter skin can just seem more flattering to some. Its an aesthetic. A cosmetic preference. Thats all.

Many people in the Nubia area migrated to West Africa.

But you can't be certain that beyonce is nubian with lupita it's a given since she comes from the luo tribe in kenya which descended directly from Sudan.

Oh please stop. Beyonce is black. Black people come in many shape and forms. I am FULL BLACK( from east africa), have "european features", light skin, soft hair and STILL consider myself black.

That's like saying ethopian and somali people are not black. Which is ridicolous.

Beyonce is black.

I really can't at the ignorance in this thread. I've met africans with no european descendants who are even lighter or have more "European features" than the likes of Beyonce.

This is basically the first time ever that a black women is out front with her 100% natural God given REAL hair - so Lupita is indeed groundbreaking.

Beyonce's latest-technology horse hair weave on the other hand, doesn't count as "change" in my book.

Lupita YES, but Beyonce slightly, let's remember Beyonce is a fair skinned MIXED black woman, with long flowing hair, she fits the "status quo" more when it comes to whats beautiful. European standards of beauty dominate most of the world and Beyonce in a sense fits them, Lupita on the other hand is quite the opposite, so to see the way shes being received is just amazing But congrats to both queens

You must not pay attention to black women a lot because Viola Davis and plenty other black women were rocking the natural look way before Lupita came along

And just because Lupita is wearing her hair natural doesn't give you or anyone the right to chastise black women who don't
