You whine about people putting words in your mouth but that's exactly what you're doing. I only mentioned while people in the context that colorism is a symptom of white supremacy. Nothing I said was about how white people see us.
As black people, we treat each other differently according to the complexion of our skin. In the black community, lighter skin is held in higher esteem than darker skin. Light skinned blacks enjoy preferential treatment to darker skinned blacks in our community and it's always been like that here in Amerikkka. I don't know what you get out of denying that truth but you're lying to yourself.
sister, I apologize if you think I'm calling your arguments dumb, that's counterproductive and not what I'm trying to achieve especially when communicating with a fellow person of color.
with that being said, I think the only real solution is completely segregating from White people.
as long as we subscribe to their media, their customs, values, ways of life, we will NEVER be able to recognize our own beauty in any meaningful way because their media is constantly reminding us that we're worthless, their businesses are reminding us that we are not wanted there.
you might say, lets build our own businesses and communities and I agree, but I also know that White supremacy can't afford for the Black community to be functional AND separate from White supremacy, they will DESTROY our businesses just as they destroyed the wonderful, fully functional community of Black Wall St in Tulsa Oklahoma.
Any external threats to White supremacy MUST be destroyed, this is how white supremacy works, and anyone who thinks otherwise is unfortunately, sadly mistaken.
It may seem like it's close to impossible but, I personally think that EVERY Black person should leave America and focus on building Africa.

Where in that post did I say you mentioned white people outside of white supremacy? I honestly didn't see that in that post and if I did say that I apologize.
I'm not denying anything I've already said light skin is put on a pedestal, I've said that over and over again. I've also said that's because we as blacks don't care what other blacks think, we only think about what white people think and accept. So my solution to the colorism problem is to stop trying to seek white acceptance and stop using white standards and values in our community and we'll move into the right direction.
The ONLY thing I was trying to convey to you is that light skin people go through their own issues as well. I keep repeating the fact that not only did I live the typical dark skin woman lifestyle but I also have light skin people in my family who are made to feel less than black because they're so light, this is the only thing I've been saying. Trust me when I say that none of my light skin aunts nor my light skin cousins "enjoy preferential treatment." And I'm sure not many black people with two black parents enjoy hearing people from their own race call them white.

Based on your previous post, I thought you are a troll, but now you have officially confirmed it. Of course white people value their skin color. Wtf are you even talking about? A pale ass ginger would definitely get the job before the darkest nikka, and that ginger knows it. White people don't have little color hierarchies like black folk, talking about yellow bone, red bone, light skinned, dark skinned etc.The 2 statements in bold clearly contradict each other but I'm tired of beating a dead horse.
Your skin tone being put on a pedestal and you actually enjoying the treatment are two very different things and you know it. There are white people who recognize white privilege and even speak out against.
A white person acknowledging and speaking out against white privilege doesn't discount them from enjoying white privilege. You're taking the word "enjoy" in the wrong context. I mean enjoy in the "benefit from" context.
Oh ok, if you meant benefit from then yes I did make a contradictory statement.
I'm guessing you haven't seen precious. A highly marketed delightful movie in which a morbidly obese black woman that looks in the mirror and sees a whitewoman. Also covers every negative stereotype about black people. ANother movie to make whites feel better about themselves. On a brighter note, paula patton is finer than a motherfukker

The only wack bytch is you, and your weak ass dissertations. You respond over an hour later with a novel but you are talking about about editing and feeling.
FOH you clown. If you cared so much about the topic you'd stay on it. But instead you wanna bytch and cry about the shyt that has nothing to do with it. Weak ass fool, expressing his weak ass feeling on a weak ass topic. No one care.
You should've allowed your emotions to calm down before replying. You edited this shyt over and over and still come across as throwing a hissy fit"I wasn't talking to you mind your fukking business......I post where I want"
You're all in your feelings to the point that you can't even think straight. If you can post where you want then I can too. This is a public discussion. If you want to have a 1on1 conversation where nobody is involved except the person you're talking to, then send that person a pm. Otherwise, intelligently contribute to the conversation, abandon your weakass trolling attempt, or get some thicker skin so that you won't throw a temper tantrum when called out for being a troll. Wack bytch.

You edited this shyt over and over and still come across as throwing a hissy fitAre you really this ignorant? Do you not understand racism and how colorism is a symptom of white supremacy? You're trying to equate shyt when there is no equivalence. Sure light skinned blacks are made fun of, but colorism is defined as a society, community, or culture giving lighter skinned people preferential treatment over darker skinned people. Colorism is the discrimination of people based on skin complexion. Across the world, people of lighter skin have higher social statuses than people with darker skin. There is no comparison. Maybe you should stop posting, you're starting to make yourself look dumb.
It's more of a hard truth than a theory. Dark skinned black women just aren't as attractive. It's not that they are born less attractive though. It's that they are trying to compete in a race that they can't win. Black women are naturally the furthest away from the white man's standard of beauty and that's why they're the least successful at fitting that standard of beauty. This is the reason that lighter skinned black women are generally more attractive than darker skinned black women as well. It's just easier for lighter skinned black women to fit the white man's standard of beauty. As long as black women are going to try and conform to a standard of beauty that they're naturally the furthest away from, they'll be the least attractive. Seeing black women trying to look like other races is just unattractive on multiple levels.
Black men don't have this problem because we aren't trying to conform to some European standard of beauty for the most part. You don't see dark skin black men running around with colored contacts, blonde hair, or White man hair textures wigs trying to be black "Ken" dolls. Black men are a lot more comfortable in their own skin than black women are, and that's why they get more love and are seen as more attractive. If dark skinned black women started to reject the white man's standard of beauty while embracing their own natural beauty which would improve their self esteem, they'd be a lot more attractive.
careful breh. You are making too much sense. Black women dont listen to logic and reason. LOL
