Your thesis revolved around this topic and you weren't able to find answers?

This topic is silly.

It would apply If I hadnt read books on the topic of colorism but I have and this specific question has not been answered as I stated before. I wasnt aware that asking a question just to hear how others feel about would be an issue.

I always wonder how much the equipment affected the appearance of skin tone in these older photographs. That's really just a random declaration.

Me too, sometimes. I think subconsciously I am really thinking about who could pass and who couldn't, based on features in addition to skin color.

It was your phrasing of the question that could be perceived to be an issue. Also, folks have told you to do a search, because the question has been discussed over and over in the ten years that this board has existed.

Of course, you could probably just Read a book!

You just probably aren't going to find a lot of folk here willing to rehash this discussion again for your benefit. :shrugs:

funny how its silly but you chose to entertain it

Boy b/c a NOSE can say soooo much! lol Now I'm being silly lol

Yeah, whatever.

I still know how to use the search function. So nanny-nanny-boo-boo.
