re: #134 FemNaziBitch

Whitney Houston, I think was the first black women seen as an acceptable sex symbol by white men.

Well, when I was a young teen back in the ’50s, I was fascinated by Lena Horne and Dorothy Dandridge—both beauties who had fame as singers but were never accepted as establishment leading ladies, even though Dandridge was nominated for an Academy Award for Carmen Jones and a Golden Globe for Porgy and Bess. Due to her leftist views, Horne was blacklisted. To me, they were beautiful, talented women—why couldn’t they be leading ladies, just like Marilyn Monroe, Lana Turner or any white actress?
