The standard for blackness is two black parents not some arbitrary thing you and the OP believes as she is the only one that dapped the post

Dark skin is the standard for Blackness. The only arbitrary aspect is the tone at which one measures dark skin.

No matter where you draw the cutoff, the average Black person is dark skinned.
That is just facts. And if you are trying to corner the Black dollar, let's start playing the averages; instead of against them.

Thank you for the clarification

But I would say brown skin and dark skin is the average

Say Michael Jordan and Nnamdi Asomugha

In America the average skin tone for black people is something like Anthony Anderson, not Wesley snipes.
Anthony anderson is about 4 shades lighter than the average black person here. you possibly live somewhere where african americans have more admixture.

Anderson is caramel . The average AA isn't standing next to LL Cool, Some asian chick and Tracee Ellis Ross while effortlessly blending in with their skin tones :francis:

maybe the state where you are from most AAs are Anderson's color . Most of those people photoed from the hbcu photos were dark skinned (like anderson's wife). Some were caramel (like anderson), and a few were light skinned.

:manny: we're not arguing. i'm done.

So Anthony Anderson is 4 shades lighter than Gabrielle Union, a "dark skinned" sista, but blends right in with Traci Ross?

Really? :dwillhuh:

Ok you got it. I'm out.

Who didn't grow up watching the Cosby show and wonder about the two oldest daughters?
That ish was clear as day, even to me.

That's why i give props and spit on The Fresh Prince of Belair at the same time.
They replaced classic Aunt Viv with generic lightskin lady, but when it came to Nicky, he was a darker little boy when a lot of the older shows would've thrown a Richie at us.

My Wife and Kids was a bad look so i didn't watch it myself.

Richie looked like Rachel though.

Both daughters on FPOB were mixed. One is half white the other is half Indian.

:ohhh: Whoa, you're right; I never noticed. Only Diane is unequivocally black.
What about Jack?
