Watcher's Council Nominations..Light Skinned, And Without Any Dialect Unless We Wanna

Does anybody identify the people in the picture?

Welcome to the latest edition of the Watcher's Council nominations, some of the best writing from a group of the most incisive blogs in the`sphere. Every week, the members nominate two posts each, one of their own and one from outside the group for consideration by the whole Council. The Council votes to pick the winners in each category and the results can be seen in this space on Friday morning.
