Tory Lanez Addresses Colorism

Facts are facts, there's still a prejudice to how black women are portrayed in the media and in general. All women are queens no matter their skin tone, shape or body, but it cannot be denied that the media still leans towards and prefers a lighter skinned woman than darker.Some choose to ignore it as the way it is, but Tory Lanez has stepped forward to directly address the inequality

This is an On -Going problem in our community of entertainment that needs to stop . As a black man , Sometimes I’m going to joke about the black community just like we all do . BUT WHAT IM NOT GOING TO DO IS ALLOW ANY OF THESE DIRECTORS TO DE-VALUE OUR BLACK WOMEN ... countless times I’ve seen directors swap out our women of color for women of lighter complexion, or women with straighter hair ETC . ... IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS ARTIST TO STAND UP AND NOT LET THIS HAPPEN .. it’s BEEN time to embrace our woman of color #BlackIsBeautiful

Or so we've been led to believe. The exact model in this shoot and insta post has come forward to claim that Lanez straight lied through his teeth, and he perpetuates the preference himself. After viewing all this what do you think? What's your take? Shout out in the comments below!
