"I think that it is sad that she is ashamed to be black, but those that are at fault is the media whose primary focus is to target the "white audience". It is sad that all the black women who are supposed to be representations of the true black women do not do so. Some examples can be Halle Berry, Beyonce, and sadly enough Tyra Banks. Tyra claims that she is doing good by improving the self esteem of young girls with her show "Americas Next Top Model", but when you listen to the critiques the panel gives the women with the not so attractive or "selling" photos you hear otherwise. I think her show teaches girls that you need to be thin and white complexed and young to be beautiful. Honestly how many of you black women out there think Tyra Banks is a true reprepsentation of the black women?"
