Kerry Washington has white skin now. wtf/?????

She on Today show now, her skin whiter than Hoda, she not care folks are gonna kick her ass for this? why do they do this??? not proud of their blackness? I think its pitiful. and self loathing...

The irony is she is pushing a movie bout a black mom who lost her kid, bit odd as she has changed her race evidently..

by Anonymousreply 1October 30, 2019 5:07 PM

He mother is mixed race, so she's going to be at least medium-black:

"Her father's family is of African American origin, having moved from South Carolina to Brooklyn. Her mother's family is from Manhattan, and Washington has said that her mother is from a "mixed-race background but from Jamaica, so she is partly English and Scottish and Native American, but also descended from enslaved Africans in the Caribbean." Through her mother, she is a cousin of former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell."

Compare her to early pics of her, She done gone way white. Even the husky voiced black host on today now , is getting whiter by the day. I guess they prefer it.

Do you have a link to this claim op?

by Anonymousreply 4October 30, 2019 5:20 PM

She probably wears sunblock to slow down the effects of aging. When you block the sun's rays from hitting your skin, then your skin will be lighter.

by Anonymousreply 5October 30, 2019 5:20 PM

I’m assuming that OP is not black and has zero idea about black skin and how under different lighting it can appear in various shades.

by Anonymousreply 6October 30, 2019 5:23 PM

look at earlier pics of her. rather shocking.

by Anonymousreply 7October 30, 2019 5:25 PM

Damn, I found one picture of her early on, where she has brown birth mark type things up the side of her face, blotches.

more power to her for trying to be pretty

Apparently Lil Kim bleached her skin to the point of looking pretty much white, but now she is reversing the process.

R9 How is that even possible?

by Anonymousreply 10October 30, 2019 5:55 PM

I never understood it, maybe bleaching a tad, but going so very white like some of them do, Was surprised Kerry went so light, and her teeth on the morning show, I also saw it, were so big, mid life make over I guess....

skin lighteners sposed to be toxic for the system.

I wear a sunblock because I'm old and I'm light skinned and my face was looking splotchy. The sunblock does turn me even lighter and a little gray but I'd rather that than looking like I've got some skin disease. Even out my skin also makes me look healthier and makes my skin look more youthful.

I am using a lightener to even out the tone and once I get rid of the dark patches I'll only use cocoa butter which does get rid of dark patches on the skin but it takes much longer than the lightener. I've gotten rid of dark scratch marks from injuries with cocoa butter but it took a long time for them to fade.

Many do this to get more roles in White Hollyweird. Mainly the women. Photos OP? She also got cheek implants and a nose job early in her career but so do white actresses so I don’t see the big deal, but the skin bleaching is sad.

by Anonymousreply 13October 30, 2019 6:22 PM

People actually think skin bleaching yields evenly lighter skin? That it actually works well? LOL. I guess makeup doesn't exist either.

by Anonymousreply 14October 30, 2019 6:28 PM

I guess a lot of people do it.

they all do it, some look ok, hers does not, too much other cosmetic work along with the bleach. Hoda's eyes popped out when she saw the ghost of Kerry, amusing..

by Anonymousreply 16October 30, 2019 6:40 PM

Has anyone had the guts to ask her why she wants to be a white lady??

by Anonymousreply 17October 31, 2019 9:06 AM

Beyonce does not and has never bleached her skin. Knock it off.

"I’m assuming that OP is not black"

You can also assume this is a lame race-baiting thread started by a dumb fuck troll.

Lil Kim looks like a fat Joan Rivers at R9

Lil Kim makes Kerry look like Medea....

This thread is useless without a photo

by Anonymousreply 22October 31, 2019 9:26 AM

No she doesn’t. I just watched the clips. She doesn’t look remotely white at all. She looks like a black woman.

Her cheek implants and dentures are distracting, though.

by Anonymousreply 23October 31, 2019 9:42 AM

Ive seen early pics, and ive seen recent, and I saw the Today show interview

She is white as the driven snow slush

As to how a mediocre actress got so much work, one can only guess.

And the beat goes on....

by Anonymousreply 24October 31, 2019 9:59 AM

In Kerry's case it is makeup and lighting.

by Anonymousreply 25October 31, 2019 10:55 AM

Her husband is Nigerian. She can only relate to a certain kind of man.

She doesn’t look white.

And she’s very pretty.

by Anonymousreply 28October 31, 2019 12:39 PM

Kerry was always pretty.

She and Goop went to the same All Girls School together in Manhattan. Goop was a senior in HS and Kerry was on her way to 9th grade.

J Lo was also Kerry’s dance teacher.

Kerry dates who she likes And relates to. Race doesn’t matter. And it shouldn’t.

by Anonymousreply 32October 31, 2019 2:30 PM

if it didn't, why does she bleach? im only going by old pix of her compared to her today show appearance.

one must concede musnt one that she seems a bit fake when she speaks, ...she hardly a representative of the negro race anymore.

I do, however, enjoy her earthy gutsy style of acting.

by Anonymousreply 33October 31, 2019 2:59 PM

She may have had a lot of hair loss, and its got her unconfident.

You go get em girl . A nice wig or skull painting never hurt no one.

by Anonymousreply 34October 31, 2019 3:01 PM

r31. Her husband is a non-American black man.

by Anonymousreply 35October 31, 2019 5:01 PM

R33 she has always spoken like that. She was raised in a good middle class area in Bronx with a College Professor for a mom that took education serious and her father a real estate broker.

Sometimes I wonder if you all realize what you sound like. Ignorant racists. What is “sounding black” and why does every Black person need to speak exactly the same???

by Anonymousreply 36October 31, 2019 5:18 PM

I think she’s just not wearing her usual heavy eye makeup. She’s also wearing a very dark lip. She doesn’t usually do this look so to us she doesn’t look like herself. Asides from that her skin is lighter, however. I see nothing wrong with it. White people tan, so who cares?

by Anonymousreply 37October 31, 2019 6:10 PM

She doesn’t even look much lighter lmao

by Anonymousreply 38October 31, 2019 6:20 PM

She hasn't dyed her skin, you nincompoop. It just looks light in comparison to that horrid purple lipstick. Whoever put her together today did her no favors. Her hair's a mess and purple is NOT her color. Go to 1:03:40.

She's not that light. R39 is right about the purple lipstick. It's awful.
