Yup, he's light skinned. He's told me before, that being light skinned is awesome, but dark skin is ugly. He was actually talking about some kid in his class when he made that comment. His dad is also real light (at one point my son kept asking if his dad was white, lol). I have tried talking to him about darker skin, but I feel like it came off as awkward. The thing is, there's only one black girl that I think he's ever liked--she was real pretty too. I think he's attracted to a certain look. I've noticed that nearly every white girl he's liked since he was 3(lol), has had that same sort of look. He's been in more black environments lol... And he'll be with his dad and his cousins all summer--and trust me, he'll get all that exposure, just like he did last summer, lol. But, I'm going to try to put more effort toward it next year too.

Yeah, you need to fix that PDQ. I’ll be damned if I had a son young as that putting down other black people because of skin tone. I’ll stomp the little fuker out. Talk all the shyt you want about crakas or anybody else, but don’t put down your own people. However, if he’s c00ning at that age, he’s probably lost already and will legally change his name to Chad at 12. Fix that shyt, tho...

U and his father should teach your son about being a self respecting black man. What if he bumps into a racist person? Is he going to c00n and be submissive? Or stand strong like an OGUN warrior? That’s assuming his father don’t have c00n tendencies like his son. And you don’t want no soft self hating son. That’s why I’m glad my pops taught me how to box and powerful black history when I was a kid. Mom taught me how to love my blackness too. Big reason why I only date black women. Got a thing for dark skin chicks. But I do date black women of all shades. :wow:

Maybe it’s the environment he’s in. I remember you posted something about you being around mostly white folks at your career/area or something like that. :picard:

As for you not turning down any non black men advances. Good luck. You’ve been warned. I hope u don’t end up like black women with anti black partners. :mjpls:

His father does have some c00n tendencies, if I'm keeping it real. He doesn't care what race of women my son is with, his only concern is that my son isn't a fakkit. He told me not to get on my son about race yet(because I was asking my son to play with more of the black kids in his class, etc), he thinks it's racist to tell my son to hang out with more black kids, or to focus on black girls. He's also Christian, so as far as he is concerned, race shouldn't matter. SMH.

I live in a diverse area. I mean my son's school is 39% black, 41% white, and the rest are "other" races. His school before that was 95% black. Our neighborhood has a mixture of white and black, upper middle class neighbors. So, he isn't mostly around whites, although currently his closest friends are white boys. He does understand that he's black, and he likes being black, and how he looks, I think he just has an issue with darker skin. I think it probably was happening at the other school he was at. I remember one day, hearing one of the kids yell at a dark skin boy, "man you as dark as midnight", shyt like that... So it's something he's picked up on from other kids. He started to understand from his old school, that being dark skin meant negative things. I have tried talking to him about it, lol, but he didn't understand.

I do turn down white men advances. But as I said before, I can't completely rule anyone out, because I know there is a slim possibility I could meet a man of another race that I'm compatible with or vibe with, and if that is the case, I would overlook race. But I prefer BM.

To be real with you, he learned that from other black kids.

Yo on some real shyt if you raise your son to be any kind of successful man there is a good chance he gonna wind up with a non black woman. That's just how this shyt is setup at this point.( For various reasons)

Just making sure he doesn't look down on dark skinned folks is the goal.

Why can't he look,down on DS folks? If he looked down on LS folks is this a discussion? If not we are we talking about but some more insecurity talk. I say that as someone who doesn't do such but I don't get why DS people which I am need some sucker ass special privileges. Stuff sounds weird to me but this online is weird to me at times with the logic.

Christians :scust:


I believe in God or a creator but not religion. I think religion is fukked up. I believe God wrote his word in your essence.

No wonder your son have some c00n tendencies. He got it from his pops. To teach his own son to ignore racism when it's there 24/7 on a physical and systemic level is insane. I can see why u not with that fool anymore. :francis:

You can't "love yourself" and hate/disrespect your own. Black people come in all kinds of shade/skin tone.

You need to surround him with masculine self pride black men but I know his soft ass "love thy neighbor" pops wouldn't like that. :mjpls:

It's yo God given right to feel that way sis. Yo happiness is important after all.
I personally turn down any non black women advances because I WANT to be with a black woman. :manny:

Breh I'm brown skinned myself. His mama says he don't like dark skinned girls. Dark skin girls always whining about colorism.

All I'm saying is if DS women always whining about they insecurities it would be courteous to not shyt on them.

Well maybe we as a whole need to tell these crybabies that you can't bytch and moan your way to folks liking you. I'm not even saying disrespect people but this weak don't shyt on DS people is junk that frankly makes them look weak. People get shytted on everyday cold world.
