World Update

Available for over a year

Beyonce's father, Mathew Knowles, says the music industry must stop ignoring singers with dark skin, saying his daughter's success was easier because she is relatively light-skinned. He has written a book on race relations in the United States - "Racism: From the Eyes of a Child", and has been talking to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Dan Damon about it.
