Fefe’s “New Look”

Fefe Dobson debuted her new “vampy” look last night at the  MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto. 

A while back Fefe claimes Rihanna jacked her look, stole her steeze, ripped her off, from her hair style straight doen to switching her mic genres from rock, to dance hall to R&amp;B and back, but we’re not here to talk about the past…
Her new look is different, it’s dark, it’s edgy, it’s Fefe and I’m in love with the shoes! I personally LOVE IT, but what do you guys think, Does Fefe’s new look Slay or Nay?

There Is More to Rihanna’s Man Down Than Violence

“I am not a fan of Rihanna’s music, but I decided to watch the video because of all the commentary and controversy surrounding it. …

What did stand out to me immediately, was the race of the rapist.  The man Rihanna chose to play her rapist, was a dark skinned Black man.  Amidst all the talk of violence, revenge and sexual assault, there was obvious colourism in action, and no one decided to say a damn thing about it.  It means something when a light skinned Black woman, chooses to portray her rapist as a dark skinned Black man.  By saying this, I am in no way denying that intra-racial violence is a huge issue within the Black community; however, the silence surrounding her choice of rapists, tells me that once again colourism is something that many are far too happy to blatantly ignore, though it is incredibly harmful.

I don’t know whether or not Rihanna is a survivor of rape, but we do know that Chris Brown, a light skinned Black man, is the one guilty of physically assaulting her.  As I watched the video, I kept wondering why she couldn’t have chosen a light skinned Black man, Asian, East Indian or even White man to play the part of the rapist?  We know that most often in the media, when a rapist is portrayed, it is the dark skinned Black man that is chosen to play the role, that is of course, when they get a break from being saved by loving White families. Rihanna, as a Black woman, could not have been ignorant to this fact.

Colourism means that the worst attributes are always ascribed to darker skinned people, which means that far too often, they are seen as ugly, violent and in some cases even savage. …” Read More
