Of course not but you'd never know that by looking at most of American history. Let's face it- for most of our time in the Americas, Blacks have lived under slavery and legal segregation, denied many of the opportunties others could have without question.
For approximately the last 35-40 years or so, we've had a chance to reverse some of this unpleasant history but there's still some work to do on all sides of the fence.
Umh what do you consider looking black? That was such an ignorant, philistine comment. So freaking ignorant, and don't even try to redeem yourself. So I guess if a dark skin girl with long hair and is pretty she doesn't look black? Black is just a term darling that comes in different shades, and shapes. Believe it or not. Actually she looks more black than white. What does the award have to do with her being black? As far as I'm concerned that girl worked her ass off to get where she is. I don't see you on tv getting an award, so get a life. Simply ignorant!

This is what we end up with after 15 years of pitching "Industrial-strength" sunscreen.
