Actress Yara Shahidi: I'm NOT Lite Skinned . . . And I Want Black People To STOP Calling Me THAT!

[3rdWorld]

Shes not even black. Shes a Arab with a bedwench for a mom

Yuck!

I tend to find women who refer to themselves as 'light skinned' are a$$holes..They full of shyt and trying to give themselves an unfair advantage or upper hand

 

[SheWantTheD]

She's probably always in the sun in cali, hence.. always has a tan.

She's on the lighter side to me.. but at the end of the day who cares

 

[seabreeze80]

Yea but do you know her now
Cause she is bleaching now

Look how dark she was when she first came out

Horrible video quality with bad lighting. Something else it seems a lot of people don't get is that people in that middle/medium range get darker in summer and lighter during winter. She also wears full body makeup. There are pictures of her when she was in high school and she is the same shade that she is now.

Like I said, mixed race women whether light or dark occupy too much space in the BW collective. Y’all can say what you want and pull every excuse in the book or move the goal posts. Light skinned/mixed race men know their position, mixed race women do not and cry them mixed race tears whenever there are reminded that they are other and have no room to speak on certain things. You guys are disingenuous and keep deflecting as per usual. But what else is new. Dark skin men stay bringing up a foregone era of light skin men being popular but yet y’all aren’t insecure. At least BW have tangible continuous evidence besides referencing 4 decades in the past.

I can count on how one hand how many mixed race men speak for black men... but I have lost count the number of times mixed race women think they can speak on behalf of black Women or the light skin tears of not being black enough start pouring.

God your so stupid

Cole, Joyner Lucas are two biracial/LS nikka rappers who prove your dumbass point wrong about LS men know their place. Them nikkas speak on social issues and the whole 9

As well as Jesse Williams with his BET speech. Which you bytches fukkin loved and gas to no end

Drake is the face of rap

and theres much more that can be listed. As those I just listed off the top of my head

BTW: this whole speel people like you be on just reveals what this about. This has everything to do that y'all mad that not everything is running in the Black community by DS blacks

 

[Cadillac]

the intellectual dishonesty of sistas kills me b. nikkas is afraid to call that bullshyt out but i'm woke though


"i'll speak it into existence and so shall it be" = black women

bytch said that "lightskin/mixed BM know their place" this bytch is dumb like we dont have mixed rappers like cole, lucas, logic out here. As well as the Jesse Williams speech at BET.

Hell we had Drake throwing a fit about being deemed Black excellance similar to what these hoes complain about regarding the girls like Shipp, Yara, and etc

and most BM are on it

 

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

people too fixated on color...

 

[Ya?]

I said what I said, you can call me all the names in the book. At the end of the day, roosters always come home to roost.

As for the rest of your post, you are one of the most disingenuous person on this site when the topic of colorism comes up pertaining to BW. You grandstand on colour preference within the black community being the figment of people's imagination in every thread and yet...

love bw in all shades. but I dont lie and deny I do have a little prefrence and am more attracted to light skin sistas espescially thick ones

You go on that people need to get over dark skin vs light skin comparison but clearly, you have no problem doing so your self....

I see what she doin and respect it


who wants to bet, that when she goes to a gun range, she brings a poster of a Lightskin BW as target practice

But I thought colorism was the crutch of bitter dark skin BW

Hollywood/media makes it to where when a movie /act or whatever stars a BW they almost always get lighter ones. Or light brown.

But when it comes to slave movies, degrading ones then they start bringing in the dark sistas.

As well as wenching. Then they start showing DS black women with a man.(Ex is Viola Davis new movie)

Recently the media has prolly shown more DS black women with YT men than with Black men

Bolded : You don't care this much yet you are constantly in threads where lightskin women are mentioned to protect their virtue yet when dark skin women are discriminated again for complexion, its fine whatever. Part of your posting history on this site is down play colorism against darker black people and insinuate that actually its light skinned women who get it.
So get the F out of here with your nonsense! You think you are slick by hiding behind light skinned BW are still BW and black genes are dominant shtick but you are just as bad as the pawgers on this site. At least some of the pawgers own up to their ish. You stay trying to look like you are better than them and you are not divisive but stay referring to complexion.

idrgaf about this right here that much.

so if were talking self hating nikkas who discrimatte against DS Black women - fine whatever

But your post did not specify that if a nikka likes or just prefers LS Black women your whole thing is flawed. Like I saidBrownskin and darker BW look like indian women and if were going by your logic where does that leave us.

And nothing was stopping Jordan from marrying a White bytch back then. Its simply as he Juante got sick of him sleeping around divorced then he went to marry a latin broad.

 

[Ya?]

error

 

[UpAndComing]

Whats the problem here?

She's not light skin

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

I'm not reading 8 pages of this silliness.

This chic is clearly lite skin. She probably doesn't want the label right now in Hollywood.

You don't need to have yellow undertones or be nearly white to be light skin.
there's A lot of white people and foreign blacks in this thread trying to change the meanings.

 

[Cadillac]

I said what I said, you can call me all the names in the book. At the end of the day, roosters always come home to roost.
.

So in other words = "Your right but im still gon be stupid and believe the dumb shyt I said."
anyways the rest of your made up story on me, outta be fun. So let's take a look on what you gathered up here

As for the rest of your post, you are one of the most disingenuous person on this site when the topic of colorism comes up pertaining to BW. You grandstand on colour preference within the black community being the figment of people's imagination in every thread and yet...

.

@bolded im not, but hey whatever. Do I think colorism exist and the whole 9 and majorly affects DS blacks? yes. But do I think some of it is exaggerated by people like you to drive home certain agendas(which YOU fukkin do and everyone sees it)? yes
@Italcize You cant be serious. Your evidence on me is a joke I made. man you are one dumb desperate bytch.

Bolded : You don't care this much yet you are constantly in threads where lightskin women are mentioned to protect their virtue yet when dark skin women are discriminated again for complexion, its fine whatever.

S.

Lol and I can bet 1000 you cant prove this shyt at all. Do I think these LSA Militant points on attacking LS/Biracial blacks on the coli is corny and jump in? yes. but its not on what your accusing me of.

So get the F out of here with your nonsense! You think you are slick by hiding behind light skinned BW are still BW and black genes are dominant shtick but you are just as bad as the pawgers on this site. At least some of the pawgers own up to their ish. You stay trying to look like you are better than them and you are not divisive but stay referring to complexion.

Funny that you mention them, because your logic is as fukked up as theres everytime they try to slander me. And it always revolves around colorism(and they can never prove I am colorist) and here you are now(bigging them up at that) trying to do the same shyt. And failing at it just like they did:Mjparadise:

 

[King Sun]

El Debarge and the his his family were popular but he wasn’t a super star and he sure the hell was not the definition of black masculinity at the time.

so ready for the world and prince wasn't

 

[ultraflexed]

This is lightskin, and yara isn't lightskin

I think the consensus has changed a lot over the years, now you have to be chris brown or drake status to be considered light skinned where as before it was a more broad category.
I'm will smith complexion and was always considered light skinned (hell even biracial at times) when i was growing up but i think my tone is just considered brown skinned by todays standards

 

[Oceanicpuppy]

How did you determine this, because anecdotally, we have blacks here darker than Yara with lighter hair, lighter with thicker hair, and everything in between the spectrum. 9/12 is 75%, I'm not sure I'd say 75% of blacks in America are darker than her...its more like someone else stated, her tone is pretty typical of the average black here...

Yara is darker than some black people that are genetically more African than her.

Skin Genetics is a toss up.

People are too invested in traits they can’t even comprehend scientifically.
Seriously what the hell is this ?

I use to talk about this stuff all the time but now I know to just leave it to professionals.

A dude working at AT&T or a warehouse on the Internet don’t know what hell their talking about half the time. Leave it to professionals.
