Who are you telling? Most of us know that and have acknowledged it. There are some people out there that think that every black video is casts by black people. My point was...if a man is casting a video, and light, bright, almost white women are what he likes then that is what will be reflected. I did not...I will repeat...DID NOT say that it was ok. I just said that it happened. I don't understand how you can actually say that I am supporting their behavior. In fact my post was totally against it! I'm very aware of the controversy of dark vs. light in the black community and I'm appalled by it. Maybe even more so than you. F.Y.I. I have observed MANY non-black men that find dark women very attractive. In fact sometimes I think BLACK men have a bigger problem with it then other groups of people.

oh if any of you can get a copy of "Soul on Ice" by Eldridge Cleaver then read the first chapter at least, it talks about why some black men pursue white women or have a facisnation with them. Eldridge held no punches on that subject http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif peace.

And secondly, I never said "you" were supporting the behavior, I said "People" use these types of remarks to justify why it happens. If you don't fit the bill don't swallow the pill. I was just responding to the posts. |

I just had to get this out. I think we are just too critical when it comes to the color complex. I think that this topic has received so many hits because Black folk are still caught up in the color complex issue. Just look at the language used here to describe people like myself who are lighter skin..."high yellow", etc. I think that some valid points have been raised here....but one that is indirectly related is the whole issue of who someone chooses to date.
Why did folk get upset when they saw Babyface with a light skin woman? Maybe it points to an anger about the prevelance of interracial dating these days. My response to that is this: I don't care who the brother is dating...I'm glad when he does choose a sista....and look, there are so many complexion choices...from butter pecan tan to rich ebony. But beyond that, brothers are looking at more than the superficial these days...women must become more attuned to those things and stop concentrating so much on externalities....and beyond that...make sure that you are happy with yourself...'cause if you aren't no matter what you look like, no one will want to be in your company. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif |
i'm a dark-skinned sister, and what i find the craziest is the fact that i hear more ignorant skin color comments from more black people than i do whites. i once had a very light-skinned friend, and she used to make comments like," he too black", or "oh my god she's black as hell", or "he's cute to be so black". i mean really what kind of mess is this. i guess because i grew up being tormented i've learned to find people attractive because of features(beard, straigth teeth) not because of skin color. i've found beautiful black men in every shade, and unattractive in every shade, also.

I would like to apologize for all the light skinned people who have caused all you dark skinned people so much prejudice, torment, and harassment. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif
Just kidding: I agree with DS and MN. Every time you turn on the TV, go to the movies, and in society, light skinned is often favored and dark skinned is often unfavored. Personally, I think this ignorance is brought on by the center of beauty being placed on the Vicotorian model or the white, blue-eyed, long hair, and petite woman. I love BLACK women of all shades, just as long as they got a BIG booty! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif When MN appears on jet with that green women, my soulmate will be on page 47 with a humongous http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif BUTT! |
