Video: Dawn Richard Says It’s Still Tough For Brown Skin Girls!!!

DAWN RICHARD is speaking out on being considered dark skin and ugly due to the music industry standards.

In an interview with Carlton Jordan, RICHARD spoke about the hate she received from people in the industry and the comments on blogs because of her skin tone.

“I always say I represent for the brown girls because when you think of a sex symbol and a huge artist, most of the time it isn’t the brown, darker girl,” she said.

She added, “I’m not dark or even a chocolate girl, but there should be more because there is no color to greatness.”

After her departure from DIDDY‘s super groups, DANITY KANE and DIRTY MONEY, RICHARD is putting her all into her solo career.

Do you agree with Dawn’s statements?
