i’m tired of this whole “ariana blackfishes” especially because it’s a whole lot of non black people speaking on it. ariana grande does NOT blackfish: a thread

first of ariana has been an olive skin tone her WHOLE life ... are y’all really going to sit here and say she’s been tanning since she was a baby?

here are some more childhood photos

i notice a lot of people bring up this side to side performance where she appeared to be the same color as nicki BUT nicki is a light skin black woman and the lighting was terrible and on top of the that nicki herself looked darker than normal sooo

these are pictures from the same night and she clearly wasn’t that dark

many ariana haters say “she wasn’t that dark on nick”... but baby she was

here’s some pictures that @DawnIsTired posted in her own thread

many of y’all said we compared the shadows of her body to her face because we all know nick put makeup on her skin that didn’t match her color to make her appear lighter and in these pictures her whole body is one shade and still tan. what do y’all have to say now?

“stop making excuses, she’s a white woman” white people can be naturally tan clearly y’all have never heard of mediterranean decent

so you’re telling me this person is lying ?

that AMA’S photo needs to be retired. people will trust anything ... that picture is highly edited. go on instagram and you’ll see the real picture

on top of that both of her parents tan and so is her brother ... and y’all expected her to be white as snow ?

ariana grande over time. she’s clearly always been tan

THIS !!!! @sheeshgws

y’all love that picture from 13 and yet again you’re still wrong

a lot of y’all aren’t taking into consideration what lighting and filters can do for a photo. i took the first one and put a filter over it. now look at the thank u, next cover. a lot of arianas music videos and pictures have filters over them. we all know she’s not that dark

please stop embarrassing yourselves. she doesn’t blackfish. and i appreciate white people trying to show support BUT it’s turning into white people continuing to speak over us. take a second and listen to what a black person says. look at the facts. the pictures are right i here

i want give credit to the people i’ve seen post a thread like this before me @DawnIsTired @rulethewrldd @notearsus
