racists will lose money ON PURPOSE just to deny black people a chance to shine. like hurt their OWN POCKETS just to keep black folks down. that's so fucking weird.

holy shit completely forgot about that mag

I do see Mariah, Toni Braxton, Aaliyah and TLC, Ashanti & TLC featured.

We were told we couldn't be on the cover because we were Black and we would not sell.

and yet the show ratings were great and the were household names, coooool

The show did get canceled from ABC.

in the video tia says sister sister was pulling better numbers than friends at the time the magazine rejection happened. idk if that’s accurate, but they did get picked up again by the WB so it’s possible ratings improved during their second run.
