But I think Darling1 was also referencing my post about motives. Ubfortunately, I have heard too many Black folx say I want my children to have "good hair" or light skin, therefore I want to marry accordingly. I even had my own mother complain that one of my high school bfs was, too dark and she did not want her grandchildren to be that color. Dang, it was highschool, we weren't even that serious.

Gotcha. He or she could also be referencing his or her experiences.
But, he or she seemed to assume the original poster had a certain grain of her enough to tell the "haters" to put some conk in their hair.
The funniest thing is that black/white does not necessarily equate to lighter skin and a certain hair texture. People who forget this have forgotten the relative "strength" of black genes and that race mixing is not a simple matter of "yellow+blue=green."
