I saw the new L'Or�al ad a few days ago, and it struck a nerve. There's still a stigma of Black celebs acting "too Black." This ad re-enforces that negative portrayal.

Why can't a powerful, talented African-American woman be celebrated for her natural beauty? L'Or�al claims they didn't change Beyonce's appearance, but who are they fooling? L'Oreal obviously wanted to make Beyonce look white. The L'Or�al ad is disrespectful and dismissive to the Black community. And L'Or�al's explanation is lame. [almost as lame as singers doing ads for products.] - more on this story
