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

[Pressure]

Miserable ugly nikkas on the Coli probably dominated this thread.

At a certain point you have to realize nikkas talk shyt about everything

shes treading the waters between yellow & brown.
depending on how much sun she got that week.

but isn't she playing a bedwench in some new movie???

 

[Milk N Cookies]

She's just medium toned/caramel

Close thread.

If someone is lighter skinned they're going to be called light skinned by some people. Stay mad about it though.

Regardless people are going to have their own standards for skin tone especially if they're not able to see the person face to face.

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

I'm lost on the aggression Yara is a good girl and she's too young for brehs to be balling up their fists. Over skin tone at that. especially when she identifies as darker

So u dont understand makeup and lighting I guess.

Yes, and no brown skin persom can look this light even with lighting

How about this...

This is Literally beige

 

[Kuwka_Atcha_Ratcha]

Pretty much how I feel about this issue. I never really thought about skin color. All black to me.

Though, I have given it thought in the past that I'm probably able to have this relaxed attitude towards the conversation because maybe I haven't had to deal with colorism issues in a negative way in my past. Like, I completely understand how "dark-skin" people can develop colorism complexes given how some folks treat dark skin folks, especially when kids which may develop into complexes when they're older. I never paid attention to the color of skin though growing up which is why I find it hard to relate to it even being an important issue. I didn't think lower of people with darker skin or anything like that. My first crush was on a dark skin chick and I've had crushes on light skin chicks too. It just never occurred to me for it to be something to care about.

You weirdos and your one drop rule

 

[Kuwka_Atcha_Ratcha]

All I see is a Black woman.

I could care less about her complexion.

Yeah if u believe in the slave masters one drop rule,

 

[Kuwka_Atcha_Ratcha]

In South Africa she's colored.
nikkaz prentend to be confused coz they have a mixed breed fetish (self hate).

By pretending like a mixed breed, with
with barely any noticeable African phenotype is "black" we can fukk and procreate with chicks 3 shades lighter than than our grand parents and unrecognizable to our African roots, and not feel like the c00ns we are. Tariq and Corey Holcomb married mixed breeds, I've heard both Juelzing over the years on that "we iz all black" tip.

This sums it up!!!! Youre pin point correct

You weirdos and your one drop rule

You weirdos and thinking everyone follows the weird ass world view on The Coli. Log off nikka.


Shes biracial but I'm not tripping if she doesn't go around calling herself biracial all the time. Don't confuse me with some of these dudes on here obsessed with tribal labels. I've kept my mouth closed on the issue and will continue to after this post. I honestly don't care as much about this issue as some of you dudes.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Willl is darker than her tho. Some of yall blind

You weirdos and your one drop rule

nikka my son has 2 BLACK parents and is like J Cole complexion. Which is lighter than Yara Shahidi. This girl and her mom is Nas’ cousins. U sound stupid.

 

[Knicksman20]

I say the same thing . I don't consider myself light skinned. I have debated the topic many times. lol

I know you remember when people here were calling Phoenix Knightly light skinned. I thought I was in an alternate universe. You & her & around the same complexion & I wouldn't call neither of you light skinned lol
