Right but a lot of Black women ignorantly and loudly say how much they love dark skinned dudes over all else.
Breh, let's speak truth to power..
Those women probably struggle loving themselves, so I wouldn't give credence to them saying that shyt!
You know people like to throw that "love" word around like it's supposed to mean something these days..Smh
We need to take into account that people go by their own experiences in the world, so just because someone claim to like this or that doesn't mean they are being genuine and sincere.
My rule is until a woman personally deal with me and I don't mean temporarily, then whatever she says about me doesn't mean shyt...*shrugs*
I am too old to be getting my head bumped by some woman who is more concerned about being
'd @ a certain way instead of keeping shyt official with me.
Actions will always 🗣 louder than words to me!
Back in the 80s where I grew up, DS dudes who wasn't athletes or in the streets (gang banging) wasn't getting love like that. I know because I got no love and was roasted and curved for being DS. It wasn't until the late 80s/early 90s that DS men was getting some love and that was conditional depending on the person..
So yeah, some women may prefer DS men, but best believe they had to possess other traits & accomplishments and even with that there was no guarantee that things will work out for them.
I just saw that Black people who was in the middle of the color/spectrum (BSBP) playing both sides(DS/LS BP) against each other and they were the ones who pushed the colorism line more than DS/LS BP people (w/ exceptions).
To me, either you are Black or not! I don't care what complexion a person is! I care about a person's character. Is that person a real one or not? Is a person trustworthy? Is a person emotionally mature and stable? Responsible? Ambitious? Possess empathy for others outside of their personal social and familial circle?
You know, shyt that actually matters!
