So what do you think? Is there still an issue with light skin Blacks being "better" than dark skin blacks? Are dark skinned blacks portrayed negatively in the media? IS thin in, and what is too thin? Just was wondering what people thought.

I am not a member of Zeta Phi Beta, but I would like to add my opinion. I have also read in the other forums and I think this is a question that can go on and on. I personally think that we need to get past these types of issues. I have always had this problems with my father (may he rest in peace). He would get angry at my brothers and sisters if we dated someone darker than us. As I got older, I realized how stupid it was. I consider myself as being of lighter skin and a full-figured woman as well, but I have always prefered darker men. My husband is of darker skin and I would not change that for the world.
I will end by saying that it always depends on the person. Some people have strange concepts of things.
