Reader White

Why have I seen print ads with light-skinned black women with light brown spiraled-up hair for years now? ?

My suspicion is that advertisers think that white readers will see the light-skinned blacks in these print ads as "more white" and therefore "more acceptable". If that's true, it's a racist premise. Anyone know for sure?
I even notice this phenomenon with little black girls as well.

I hate to agree with your suspicion, but sadly I believe that advertisers are still stuck in a box and can't see that beauty is found in all colors, tones, and sizes.
I think they are trying to appeal to ALL women without offending or omitting any specific race (How many Asian women do you see in print ads??), taking the "safe route". It's only a matter of time before we start to see darker skinned ad models - I hope!! As a white woman, I have noticed this too and personally find it offensive because most of these art directors are probably white - when can we start seeing the world for what it is - colorful, large and beautiful!!!

In closing, yes, it is a racist premise but not a reflection on anyone other than the marketing campaigners and ad execs!! Sad but true.

My color monitor on iBook G4 turns into black and white . Not sure how to fix it. Any suggestions?

My four-year old daughter punched the keyboard several times while she was playing reader rabbit games and the color screen turned into black and white with the effect of an X-ray film. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi there...Go to System Preferences, then Universal Access, then make sure the display is set to Black on White and Greyscale is not checked. This should reverse everything.
