name and shame man

That’s honestly so shitty. Reminds of when they didn’t want to cast Gabrielle Union in Sugar and Spice because they wanted all the girls to be white.

I hope she eventually opens up about what racist ass magazine did this.

Probably not Teen People because that debuted in the late 90s. So, Teen, Seventeen, YM, or Twist?

I was thinking of Sassy, but I also didn’t read a lot of teen mags at that point. Most of the girls I knew had the ones full of boy posters, and I had no interest in that market

I never read Sassy so I forgot about them. I also doubt it'd be Cosmo Girl because they came out after Teen People. Sister, Sister was already over by then.

I don't think it was Sassy because they were pretty progressive at the time.

[sandstorm]

Were they ever on a magazine cover?

Sounds about white.

Nothing but racist trash. I'm not even shocked.

Same. And people wonder why BET and other Black media exist.
