DARK/LIGHT...SKIN COLOR.........Is this still an issue? Let's be honest Sorors & SF'

[pretty edAKAted]

The first couple of days of school I was in the financial aid office and there was a young white girl with a mixed looking baby with her calling her mommy. the majority of the black guys that were in there started talking saying


" see that is why i want me a white girl so i can have some pretty children"

all of the other guys in the room followed saying

"yeah, man i know what you are talking about, that is a beutiful lil' girl"

Why do people think they have to get pregnant or have a baby by a white person in order to be considered beautiful. Why are they so afraid their children will be dark skinned? I think this is just ignorance and someone needs to raise thier children correctly without superficial thoughts like that.

Sure, they say that, but then they become upset when the children are born pure white in appearance or simply non-black, which is certainly possible given the already mixed heritage of most African Americans. I have read too many stories about black men abusing, emotionally and sometimes physically, their children (born of white women) for being "too light". I have seen posts online from men complaining because they thought their children would be born "with some color", i.e. "kinda light" with "good hair". These men don't consider that their children may not look anything like what they expect racially, that they may find it difficult to relate to sons who more closely resemble Wentworth Miller or "the man" than themselves. Though I feel for the children, I can't help but laugh at those who roll the dice and lose.

Totally off-topic, but I feel that this is a good time as any to remind our readers at home how fine Wentworth Miller is.

That is a fine man..lol. I went to school with him and he was adorable then and very sweet.

I would just like to co-sign on Wentworth Miller's fineness.

I wrote about Wentworth on my blog some time ago and I'm still getting emails from white and black people questioning whether or not it's true that he identifies himself as Black!

Good grief!!!!

From the first time I saw him, it was clear to me that he was not white.

Exactly. And on the other hand a lot of mixed kids come out looking full black with nappy hair. Bet they don't count on THAT happening. At any rate though, since black people are so mixed up in the first place it really is just a toss up when it comes to how your kids will look.

You know I had no idea who that little boy is, nor his political "genetic inheritance"... Now that is funny...

My little nephew is gonna look JUST like homey when he grows up...

Anyhow, do you have any references to those stories you read? I just do not understand why bruhs would do that when it was exactly what they wanted? The alternative is SOME bruhs are misogynists--generally speaking and would beat any kind of woman and their children because of power issues and compensation.
