Any of you ladies know when high yella guys are coming back in style?
I know back in the 80's high yella guys had it going on with El DeBarge and stuff, then Michael Jordan came along and messed it all up. Ginuwine tried to bring us back, but it seems as if he's getting darker every year. What do yall think? I haven't gotten my letter saying that we're back in style.

Good answer, good answer! 
The question? Example #1 of when humour goes very very wrong...

My theory...
I can tell you the exact moment when I believe "light-bright" brothas went out of style:
Picture it. You're in the theater or at home watching "New Jack City." It's the scene where Nino Brown (Wesley Snipes, with his chocolate self) it talking to his clique at the round table. He's walking around the room, mad as h#ll about the crack house getting shut down.
Then, it happens!
Nino takes a knife and stabs Christopher Williams (I can't even remember his characters name...) in the hand and says something along the lines of, "I never liked you anyway... pretty mutha@*&*r." 
That was it! Sistahs didn't want no parts of no yellow men after that! Think about it ya'll... Coincidence? I venture to say not...

He probably hears that often.
What's wrong with that brotha? I happen to be a lighter fella, and without being to confident, I was never notified that we had fallen out of favor. I must have missed it in Light Brotha Weekly.
But I will say that I am proud of our race that we have FINALLY decided that we are all beautiful no matter what complexion!

If you truly have what it takes, it doesn't matter what skin tone you are, what decade it is, or what is supposedly in or out of season.
