Lisa Raye Defends A White Man's Preference To Prefer Dating Light Skinned Women..AND GUESS WHO MAD?

Actress LisaRaye McCoy is facing some severe backlash from Black Twitter after she recently defended colorist remarks made by a white radio show host. During a recent episode of “Cocktails With Queens” with co-hosts Claudia Jordan, Vivica A. Fox, Syleena Johnson, and McCoy, the women discussed an incident in which former “The Morning Bull Show” host Rob Lederman was heard making colorist comments. While sharing his dating preferences with his fellow white co-hosts last week, Lederman compared the skin tones of notable Black women to toaster settings. One comment Lederman made was that he would “never go to a Serena Williams level, but I’m very comfortable with a Halle Berry level.” He later added, “I need a little bit of mulatto still coming through.” Lederman’s comments offended most of the “Queens” panel, but not McCoy. The “Players Club” star, who is of lighter tone, pushed back, stating, “Wait a minute. What I heard was an opinion. I heard that he’s saying that he won’t go as far as a dark-skinned Black woman.” She continued, “He’s comfortable with going with the color of a Halle Berry. What’s wrong with that?” Co-host Johnson tried to explain how Black women may find those remarks tactless, telling McCoy, “He said I like ‘em more mulatto. That’s what this man said. To me, that is colorism and discriminatory. That’s a fool.” McCoy defended her stance, stating they were only given a small portion of the conversation and that he was just expressing what type of women he was into. “Everybody gonna get caught up now because I think everybody is gon’ be so sensitive,” she continued. “And ain’t gon’ know what to say and how to say it, and it’s going to take the fun out of everything and everybody gon’ get slapped with lawsuits and defamation, and it’s gon’ to be tedious and ain’t nobody gonna be able to talk about nothin’.” While Johnson may have been more collegial in her attempt to show McCoy how Lederman’s comments were hurtful, social media, on the other hand, was quick to call for the removal of the show altogether. One Twitter user wrote, “Abolish @foxsoultv QUICKLY!” He added, “Like every day Claudia Jordan, Lisa Raye or Vivica are on there saying dumb sh-t.” www.atlantablackstar.com reports: " LisaRaye Dragged After Defending White Radio Host Who Compared Black Women’s Skin Tones to Shades of Toast: ‘She Always Misses the Mark" https://atlantablackstar.com/2021/04/02/lisaraye-dragged-after-defending-white-radio-host-who-compared-black-womens-skin-tones-to-shades-of-toast-she-always-misses-the-mark/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "LisaRaye defends former radio host who compared Black women to shades of toast" https://thegrio.com/2021/04/03/lisaraye-defends-radio-host/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
