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

[Easy-E]

Black ppl, the only to constantly be attacked by celebrities for not liking them right.

It isn’t her skin complexion, it’s the fact that she is mixed race. I am glad BW are pushing back and wanting to see black women and not solely mixed race women. Mixed girls need to start owning that they are mixed just like their male counterparts own up that they are mixed and fall back when dark skinned bm occupy certain spaces or say certain things. Mixed race women occupy too much space within the BW collective and their mixed race tears are just getting annoying at this point and endulged more times than they should. That’s why they expect black people to always bend over backwards because they so used to being handled with kid gloves I am looking at you Ayesha.

I don’t care if some BM call BW jealous or bitter or lacking confidence it’s a deflection tactic. Many are fully aware of the ish and don’t care until it’s start affecting them.

Yara is a cute girl and I like how she is styled but she is still half black and half Persian to me color notwithstanding and fall in the same category of “ideal black girl” the media has been pushing aggressively in the last decade. Next...

Oh she addresses black people because she is hoping that her captain save a mixed chick will come bat for her and double down on black people calling us bitter/jealous/ ugly.

You cant be serious plenty of non biracial women are her complexion. The fact is as blacks we come in to many shades for eveyone to be represented

1. Men started hate drake on here when he became plastered everywhere. BM were getting “in their feelings” that he is Canadian Jew and jumps on trends. BM are no different than BW, I seen my fair share of men complaining about light skinned men creeping in sports and entertainment to know that when black men will start getting the dark skinned women treatment that whole we are just confident ish would be thrown out the window.

2. You guys are no more confident than BW y’all are gassed because of the way BM have been more showcased as a sex symbol in the last decade. Keep that same energy when Drake types become the black male standard.

1. nikkas started hating on champagne because they thought he was a fraud and not because of aesthetics. 100% related to preserving the integrity of hip hop culture and not some mass crusade against high yella nikkas with 3B hair and white mamas. but you already know that sis. cut it out

2. i'm a triple OG who remembers well when the lightskin & curly haired admixture brothers like el debarge ruled the roost. we didn't change things but either constantly crying or trying to conform to the beauty standard by way of wearing toupees made out of indian men's hair. watch us and follow what we do ma which is staunch non-conformist self promotion... like dark skin big daddy kane did when he labeled himself a sex symbol in '88 when the world was focused on al b sure and philip michael thomas

Again keep that same energy when it happens cause it will. I don’t want hear bm comparing themselves to BW in this respect because there is no comparison. Light skinned for bw has been a standard much longer than it has ever been for bm at this point.

[karim]

Are you people.color blind? She is not brown, she is light. Her colour is closer to yellow than it is brown,

Shut the fukk up a d stop trying to define somebody elses identity.

Shut the fukk up a d stop trying to define somebody elses identity.

Stfu fakkit, im not defining someones identity im im ing facts, she is not brown, she is closer to beige or yellow.

Because of b1tch fakjits like yourself people just make up reality and expect everyone else to hold onto it as if its truth

 

[Rakim Allah]

She's not lying. The boy son on Black-ish is light skinned, not her. Tracey Ellis Ross is light skinned, not her. She's just medium toned/caramel


She needs to worry about filling out. Pretty girl but she looks malnourished

She's a brown skin biracial female while Jr is a lite skin black male.

 

[Stone Cold]

Here's a wiki repost if someone recognizes her or not

Yara Sayeh Shahidi (Persian: یارا سایه شاهیدی‎; Persian pronunciation: [jɒːɾɒː sɒːje ʃæhiːdiː]; born February 10, 2000)[1]is an American actor, model and activist. She gained recognition for her starring role as the oldest daughter Zoey Johnson on the sitcom Black-ish (2014–present) and its spin-off series Grown-ish (2018–present).[2] Her film credits include Imagine That (2009), Smallfoot(2018), and the lead role in The Sun Is Also a Star (2019).

She's also done lot of random television roles apparantly too. Nothing remembered mainstream from what I know.

She Light-ish

 

[Beck.er.]

shes not light skinned shes brown skinned.

Will Smith is the darkest you can be to be considered light skinned

 

[Oceanicpuppy]

It she wasnt Biracial no one would call her lightskin.

All biracial people get thrown in the lightskin box.

All communities ( whites, blacks , Latinos etc) are obsessed with biracial / mixed people. Everyone loses their shyt over the most trivial shyt.

If It’s not some self hater admiring them for trivial physical trait then it’s some other people trashing them some trivial physical traits.

I’m tired hearing this shyt while folks still drinking dirty water and can’t pay for health care. It’s exhausting.


Everyone needs get a life.
