No, you're right it's not new but it's become worse. The fact is whites rarely sang r n b or soul in 1960s or rap years ago now they are dominating these genres in 2013. Biggest r nb singers in 2013 - robin thicke, justin timberlake, and rap acts macklemore, and iggy azealia. The media only cared about twerking as miley cyrus did it. Black women are no longer needed.

When film execs were discussing making a posthumous film about whitney houston apparently an executive asked about the viability of getting a white actress to play her.

Why have hannah when you can have a "cute" white soul or urban girl like adele, iggy azealia, katy b or joss stone. Mixed women are acceptable as the people who own media and labels often find them attactive, dark skinned women, not so much. Tennis star Serena Williams is one of the greatest players yet blond Sharipova gets $9m a year more in sponsorships. The only other ueber famous " black black " women are Oprah (she'd never be a star now starting in 2013), Michelle Obama, and Oscar winner/ singer Jennifer Hudson. Kelly Roland ( or Michelle Williams ) was never going to be as huge as Beyonce. Sese Foster (pregnant one) in Miss Dynamix has loads of charisma but imo was only going ever going to be a marketable proposition in being in a group with 2 lighter skinned black girls, she auditioned with 2 white guys so even she knows the score. Will.I.Am admitted that when Black Eye Peas were scouting for a female vocalist a white female was the most viable option.
