    Amber Berg, all the woman you named are mixed.

      Where did you get the idea that all of the women Amber named were mixed? None of those women(except for maybe Meghan) are mixed…at least, no more mixed than most African Americans. None of them define themselves as anything but “black”. It seems as if your point was that they are “mixed” and therefore, “not ugly” suggesting that only black, non-mixed women are to be considered “ugly” or “unattractive”.
