You know what I have a problem with lightweight? Why do all these black celebrities focus so much on emulating Marilyn Monroe when Dorothy Dandridge was her closest black equal? Shit, Dorothy deserves some homage too. *eye roll*

Dorothy Dandridge broke down racial barriers and set the path for black actresses. She become the first black female to be nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Actress category for her role in Carmen Jones. Hollywood couldn’t appreciate Ms. Dandridge simply because she was black. She will always be a legend in my eyes. The epitome of grace, class, beauty, and sophistication.
