      I really don't know exactly what you're referring too. In my humble opinion people do not always treat you the way you treat yourself. When i walk in a room I'm excited to mingle, laugh, have good times however my presence intimidate people and for one reason or another people often attack me.

      What a ugly lie.Ms.Caroll is resting and you still jealous of her timeless beauty.Some black skin fades to a lighter shade as we age,knowing that Ms.Caroll lived a pampered life she perhaps was not in sun very much.

      @@l.dmoody8356 ....i SAID rip. So what's your problem? And NO, im not aware that melanated skin lightens as it matures. This the first time im hearing it. From you. So i think this is true only in YOUR experience or mind.
      And yes, i do believe she was one of the first Black Women stars to have plastic sugery. Why does my opinion, which i posed as a question, hafta be ugly or a lie? It is what i THINK.
      C'mon now. It's not that serious.

      @@missshannon9790 It is the fact that you felt the need to mention that for whatever reason but that's what average people do. I can assume with your statement that you aren't educated passed high school. It's a well know fact that uneducated people and well educated people topics of conversation are totally different. We don't waste our time on senseless conversation or pointing out the obvious. 🤦
