FanMAIL: Does Blogger Necole Bitchie Have Self Hate Issues?

Sandra Rose January 8, 2009

Loyal reader LaToya Williams writes:

Hi Sandra, Love love love the website. Honestly I find it saddening when black women do things like this. (*cough* Beyonce) I myself am a black woman and I feel like I have reverse self hate issues. I WISH I was DARKER, I would say my complexion is around the real complexion of Necole Bitchie posted on your website, but its something about a dark skin I find beautiful and regal.

Unfortunately my family is full of different nationalities (but I represent for my black people) I’d prefer to be darker and I sometimes where foundation darker than my real complexion on purpose. I’ve come to the realization that some black woman especially industry ones get pulled into the light is right syndrome. The lighter they are the more beautiful they feel, black women aren’t represented properly in the entertainment industry, when I see my people I see beauty in full lips, and various nose shapes and various colors, I find nothing beautiful about pasty white skin, (no offense to those with no pigment) I just thought I’d share my thoughts.

Keep up the GREAT work!!!!!!!

Thanks for opening the comments Miss Sandra. There is nothing bad to say here. Necole’s Derek Blanks photo is absolutly gorgeous. Somehow I doubt she said, “Dereck please make me appear lighter. I just hate my skin color.” I think it’s lighting. I want to learn how to do my smokie eye like that. I’ll be studying the heck out of her pick as I try to mimick it.

i am so confused.

Agree with Bird – It seemed like a lighting thing to me too. Either way, I love the pics.

@kwall
I am right there with you.

As I said on the other post. Necole does look different from the pic you posted of her @ the Rocco party (I’m mad I know his name and not anything about him other than being the fater to Mo kids).

When I first saw her pic on her site I thought she was Aalyah. She’s a beautiful woman doing her thang but I respect your gangster Sandra. You put how you felt out there not caring that she not only reads on this site but comments…..

POPCORN ANYONE!

I’m confused too, but is our confusion about why Sandra seems like she has a beef with Nicole all the while Nicole is on this site commenting, or something else? LOL.

Let me find out Sandy mad cause she hasn’t linked up with Derek Blanks (LOL)
Kymystry

beautiful girl .. beautiful pics … Sandra .. please unpack your bags .. cause the trip u on has been Cancelled

Unfortunately my family is full of different nationalities ?————that bugs me. So what if your family is full of different nationalities??
bloggergirlz

you prefer to be darker but take offense to people who want to be lighter…go figure…you are no different then “those” type of people…
shunda

@Anna
confused because I thought they were cool.

I have said it before and I will say it again all black is beautiful. I know for myself I am lighter in the winter that I am in the summer.

Sandra needs to do a Derek Blanks shoot so we can see what she looks like since she always has so much to say about other peoples looks.

Where is your photo shoot Auntie?
intensemocha

Every shade is beautiful from the very light to the very dark-that’s what makes our race so unique and exotic.

I am dark-skinned and I embrace my shade because although I was teased by others while growing up-I was raised in a family that nurtured individualism and high self-esteem.

My grandmother would always say the darker the berry the sweeter the juice-lol, silly but it worked you couldn’t tell me my dark skin wasn’t beautiful & I didn’t tell anyone even if they disagreed.

Typically, God made you the way he wanted you to be and why mess with perfection? God doesn’t make any mistakes.

I have seven siblings and we all range in complexion from high yellow to ebony brown, there are some with hazel green eyes, brown eyes, curly hair & not so curly-and it is what it is…

embrace who you are and whoever in the hell don’t like it tell them to kiss your azz and go straight to hell, that works for me either they think I’m crazy and leave me alone or they realize I don’t give a damn about what they think-and trust me I truly don’t!
Bubbles

Think about it Auntie. All the celebs in Atlanta have a DBlanks shoot. Where is yours? Don’t get left behind!
intensemocha

I didn’t tell anyone even if they disagreed

oops, I meant to say I didn’t mind telling everyone, even if they disagreed.
Mississippi16

Sandra, I couldn’t get to Nicole’s site from work to actually see the pics but i will say this. You are GANGSTA! I think it’s a shame when the industry lighten photos to make models appear “prettier”.

I don’t know if I buy the whole lighting thing… although it definitely plays a part to a certain degree but it won’t lighten you 10 shades.

On the other hand, whether she approved this or not, i can’t judge her and say that she hate herself. I was just thinking about purchasing some Ambi products last week to work on my skin – knowing that evening out the skin tone as they call it or “lightening” … would be one of the “benefits”.

We all have something about ourselves that we would like to tweak here and there but I don’t know about calling her out when you won’t even put yourself out there. I think you don’t want to do it for fear of criticism. One could argue that… self love is the understanding that regardless of what people say, you look how you look… and you look perfect to God and those that love you.
iscream

I just read the email.. Was that made up to make this “a story”?

I don’t know where all of this “self hate” mess is coming from. Sandra you really seem to have an issue with color. Are you the one who really hates themself. I’m just asking because you arr starting to come accross that way.
bloggergirlz

yall dont forget sandra took shots at necole a few months ago when she did that “why some urban bloggers get no respect”…i found it interesting since sandra posts misinformation a LOT of times…i guess it ok though since she offers her so-called “retractions” for some of the posts though…hopefully necole is somewhere laughing at all of this…
http://happynappyhead.blogspot.com Seattle Slim

Meh…I think she looks good. She is undoubtedly lighter, but I really think lighting and the kind of makeup used played a factor. And I am glad I wasn’t the only one irked by this:
“Unfortunately my family is full of different nationalities”

What do you mean by nationalities per se? A nationality pertains to the nation one comes from, not the race. That would be ethnicity.
Charles

Derek blanks does that in all his photographs big flashes lots of light and lightning it doesnt mean that they are trying to lighten themselves or have self hate issues…………………….
KAT

i’ll say it’s the lighting or makeup. her neck and face is lighter than her arm on the picture to the left…which is the same color as the picture to the right.
teecee

its all lighting and make up… when you go take professional pics and your are of African descent, they even out your skin tone and they take the shine or oils out of your skin so you wont look shiny. when you add lighting, you appear lighter, its not your fought, because nobody wants to pay for dark pictures that you can’t see. a pic taken by your cousin shay shay in your bathroom isnt considered professional and one you wouldnt want to publish on a web site..
http://myspace.com/julanda Jadavies

Great! I just really hate when I have to log on.
Sandra, Sandra, Sandra What happened to the positive stuff?
Seems to me like you hate yourself. You can only love others if you learn to love yourself. You are bringing down another beautiful african american sister. Showing your true character. You told on yourself on this one darling. Go and look at yourself in the mirror right now and say I am beautiful…go on say it. Maybe you will appreciate all women- regardless of color. Necole is beautiful- model status. Love yourself hunny bunch!

@miss16…idk about bi polar b/c there are some thing she just won’t bend on (bey bashing, Obama, a few other things) but i thought her and necole was TIGHT. she is toeing the bi polar line tough.

a habitual line toe-er.
pinkscorpion

Dayum…. Sandra you are really wildin out today. LOL

I believe it’s his photoshop and lighting too. She isn’t the only one that he’s shopped that appear lighter than they are.

Do bloggers have fake beef to increase hits like rappers do for sales? I’m just asking…
http://necolebitchie.com Necole Bitchie

Sandra you tickle me pink. I’m just as confused at some of your antics as your readers. But don’t fret. This definitely didn’t anger me.

And the sad part about all this, is that there really are people that hate their skin tone and wish to be lighter. They wake up in the mirror every day wishing they were just a little lighter, a little smaller, a little taller and what do they do…they take it out on other people.

Love yourself in 2009. Be thankful for what God gave you and also thankful for things that you may not have for that is what makes you unique and who you are.

Trust me, my skin tone is the least of my worries but I’ve learned to accept my circumstances and that has made me a better me.

Hopefully you will learn to become a better you

Peace and blessings..

Its the camera, the lights and the makeup. Im not that dark but when I take pictues I am always 3 shades lighter and no matter how many times I go to MAC there is nothing that works, I can never be the same color in any of my pictures..unless I pile on the bronzer then I just look like a shiny penny

MsPink

Umm Sandra as a photographer you should know that when taking a picture in a club you will appear darker due to lightening. as well depending on the season. I appear lighter in the winter due to the harsh cold and less sun and darker in the summer due to more sun exposure. Also makeup shades are a factor. Some people just need to learn to mind their own bidness!! Everyone seems so darn insecure. Who has a big , small, long , round booty. Or has a fake more or fake nose. If you wanna be darker, lighter, fatter, smaller whatever do as you please and others mind your own stuff cause we all have our own issues!!!
kwallace577

it wasbig of her @shunda.

and what reader antics d?
http://myspace.com/lorettadivine DivineBrown

GIVE ME AN ATTENTION SPAN THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO READ A POST LONGER THAN 150 CHARACTERS.

If I see a big A$$ long paragraph, I immediately lose interest and keep scrollin. I skimmed over that one fast. LMAO…GETTING SHIET WRONG!
iscream

When white ppl tan their skin to appear darker is that considered self hate?

Or is this another thing black people brought on themselves.

I love being black, love, love, love it. The different shades, the attitude, the style (all of which others copy).

Hey there KWall! Thank you so much I am honored any of the ladies from SR.com would come read my little bloggie that could LOL! I step away to do some work and I come back to this?? Let me go get my seat ringside.

*WONDERING IF SANDRA WILL REPLY TO THE RESPONSE*

KUDOS TO NECOLE – I REALLY LIKE YOUR SITE!!!

SANDRA, YOU’RE A VET IN THE BLOGASPHERE. YOU SHOULD TRY HELPING OTHER FELLOW BLOGGARIANS INSTEAD OF TEARING THEM DOWN. ESPECIALLY, THE ONES YOU ARE CLOSEST TO. IMO
heartbreaker

@ 46…
That’s y they hate themselves…and the fact they don’t realize the change begins within, is the reason why some go insane!! They stay mad at themselves for not changing!! It’s a vicious cycle!! Like being overweight!!

aWWWW….SEE, Necole B is cool chick! She came over…handled business is a respectful manner. This is my favorite line right here

“Trust me, my skin tone is the least of my worries but I’ve learned to accept my circumstances and that has made me a better me.” <—— That is so gangsta!

Lawd, I thought she was testifyin…I was about to be some church up in here!
KaraZ

Latoya needs to get a grip, seems to me that she’s the one with the color complex (wearing darker foundation on purpose, probably looking foolish doing so as well).

Necole looks like your average fairer skinned black woman, whose skin color varies on time of year/sun exposure.

Sandra, what happened to less negativity in 09? You barely made it past a week!

I thought it would get a little crunk in here, but nah…this skin color thing is Sandra’s ongoing fight. She never tires of it. LOL

LaToya, girl stop.

TO MANY COMMETS TO READ, AS I EVEN STATED ON NECOLES SITE THE PHOTOS ARE HAWT .. ITS PROB THE LIGHTING ON WHY SHE APPEARS LIGHTER. IF YOU KNOW NECOLE OR READ HER PERSONAL BLOGS U WOULD KNOW SHE IS FAR FROM SELF HATING.

SANDRA — WHAT’S UP W/ YOU? WHY ARE YOU REALLY DOING THIS?

ARE YOU MAD ABOUT YOUR BLIND ITEM YOU POSTED AND NECOLE’S BLOG BOUT IT???

YOU CAN TELL ME … HIT ME ON MY EMAIL ADDY. I DON’T THINK THESE POST ON HER WERE NECCESSARY.
intensemocha

it’s called comprehension-rather it be a long post or a short one-if you are just skimming typically that results in assumptions or just plain errors-hence the assumption necole’s comment were directed towards us and not sandra.

The length of the post had nothing to do with the assumption that was made.

Sharonda

I didn’t read the comments, but …

How do you go off based on a picture if a person have self-hating issues?Why are the pictures a problem?When Rih Rih pictures get posted up her skin looks different and I don’t say it only because I know skin color changes during the winter (typical science).I mean are we actually discussing skin tone still?Why I’m not surprised?

If anybody is interesting in photography/photoshopping or anything knows that the light can change your reflection also.It’s not even that serious.
toosexy

her mouth is not that cute she looks better when she smiles. I think it has to do with the lightening. I think that when you do professionals shoots the lights make a big difference, even with me i take better pictures with the correct light.

Sandra you are a professional photographer you know how the game works. Photographers touch-up photos how they see fit.

I took my 2 yr old to take Christmas photos and the lady thought the picture would like more vibrant if she “lighten” the picture, which also lighten my baby’s complexion. I like my baby’s true caramel complexion better.

terika83

I think Necoles pics came out super cute. No disrepect to you Sandra, but you do seem like you may have the color issue…and I’m saying this because you only seem to think darkskinned women (minus Rihanna) are beautiful or do not criticize them when they are being a H.A.M. i.e. (them lil girls performing their version of cater to you) yet when it’s someone who is light skinned or with long hair you criticize them. Would you like to be a little lighter or have longer hair? I mean I’m not trying to be funny but it’s not uncommon…like someone said above a lot of people would like to tweak something about themselves.

Necole rawks!
http://talkingwithtami.com talkingwithtami

I just had some pics taken by Derek too and you know Sandra Im dark skinned but my pics came out light too.Its the lighting for sure! She looks fab!
licia

i absolutely love necole and her site. her pictures are the BIZNEZZ. the fact that she responded in the way that she has makes me respect her even more .

as alot of others have said it’s the lighting that was used to make her lighter. i doubt that she requested to be lighter and i’m sure it wasn’t derek’s or anyone else’s intention to make her that way .
TheSinfulLife

Everyone knows it’s Sandra with the self hate issues. She obsesses over skin color to no end. And anybody who’s ever had professional photo shoots KNOWS that the photographers own lighting often makes you look shades lighter unintentionally. It’s happened to me on MANY occasions. Duhhhh, pictures can’t be taken without a FLASH of WHITE LIGHT that no doubt makes EVERYONE look lighter, even when you’re already semi-light complexioned. I’ve never seen a blogger act like such a cheerleader for darker skin and feel the need to point out every time a (as she outs it) “LSLH” sister is on somebody’s arm or in somebody’s video.

Necole Bitchie is a BEAUTY, and I smell the hate through my monitor.

Shame on you Sandra.
TheSinfulLife

Oh I see that Necole commented! And I agree, I do like Necole’s site much better. TEAM NECOLE! lol

i think it is the club lighting that made her darker not the DB pic that made her lighter and as a former makeup artist trust me if they used MAC studio foundation that makes a damn tar baby light-skinned LOL!!! anyhoo she is a beautiful black woman as we all are some more than others but this is a moot point and NB always keeps it classy…. and kudos to her and other bloggers who are not afraid to put their face out there!!!!
