I have a question

Can anyone name a superhero that is of African descent that's lightskinned?

No?

Because there aren't any. Why? Because black people's are always depicted with the same shade of brown when featured in ensembles with non blacks. The few instances of color diversity we see in animation or comics only comes about when their under a black creative team which is rarely the case outside of The Proud Family and Aaron McGruder productions.

So when people say, "ain't she supposed to be dark skinned", their right, but its because white artist have always failed to demonstrate black people as anything but the same shade of "this is obviously a negroe character" brown.

And before anyone rebuttals with, "but she African"...no...her mother is, her father is African American. Recessive genes have been dumping lightskins in families of browns for generations now so its not outside of reality that Ororo Munroe, whose father helms from NY, could be fairer in tone. Not to mention, her ancestral white mane and blue eyes are indicative of a melanin reduction within the genetics of the ancestors of Ashake.

Please stop being angry people, leave room to be pleasantly surprised by a newcomer. Jennifer Lawrence, Shailene Woodley, and Kristen Stewart all were given a chance...let Ms. Shipp have hers.
