I love how colorblind black men are only colorblind when the situation doesn't affect black men. Let a major mainstream network show or movie have a black woman paired with a non-black man as the lead or some injustice is mainly targeting black men then they all of a suden regain their vision.

So can someone tell me which one is black? I'm thinking it's probably the one with the red lipstick but then I look at the edges of the one in the back

I think the one he is standing closest too is supposedly the black one, shrugs shoulders. He should have just ignored the critics, the album cover was already done and now he is getting side eyes for his response.
It seems its always one extreme or the other, really dark skinned wearing a afro or a twistout or so light you wonder if its a spray tan or not.

Exactly they aren't fooling anyone. Those women don't even appear to be "light-skin" black. They are racially ambiguous. No one even knows for sure which one is supposed to have "part-black" ancestry". Is it the one with the edges or the one in middle that was mentioned?? If you have to look that hard and seriously question it. You know she wasn't put there to represent any "type" of black woman, weither it be caramel, dark skin, light skin,etc. She was put there to represent what she appears to be, a racially ambiguous woman. Plus I agree with this

women need to stop feeling ashamed about calling Black men out on
anti-Blackness. They are the biggest perpetrators of this mentality
these days

LMAO everyone is trying to figure out. I've seen this posted on two boards and a lot were saying the one in the back because of the edges. (that's what I thought) However, Someone said Pharrell was talking about the woman with the red lips. But that's what I mean If you can't even tell which one is "part" black....

I'm assuming the "black" one is the one in the far back that looks like Michael Jackson circa 1987
But doesn't having to "guess" which one is Black defeat the purpose of stating that one of them is actually of African descent?
