Rihanna is the biggest female popstar and she has Green eyes and light complexion from her half Irish father and being from Barbados mixed with other things. She is not a good singer or dancer but her looks And production team made her a bankable star.
Wrong---Rihanna isn't even what you would call light-skinned,she's clearly a black woman, and has never claimed to be anything else. On top of that, she actually is a damn good singer and makes great songs (unlike Britney Spears,who never could sing worth a damn--she still can't--and has only been considered more marketable because she's a skinny blond white chick in majority white America---and whose songs aren't all that great,either---the only good CD she's made was the one with her biggest hit, "Toxic.) Saw a picture of Rihanna with her dad, and while he may be mixed, he still looks exactly like what he is---a black man,straight-up.
And yeah, in the U.S., since white people are running Hollywood, that's really the only reason white people (and anybody that looks like them--get pushed on everyone nonstop in the movies. If people of color were running Hollywood, you'd see a hell of a lot more POCs in leading roles or dominating the casts. That's why I try to support and watch films made by POCs, which mainly tend to be indie films that are well worth my time.
