Do “Light Skin Girls” really struggle, or is Oprah just trying to make another movie?

.....and Denzel Washington.....and Morris Chestnut....and Lance Gross....and Blair Underwood....and Derek Luke....and Larenz Tate....and Tyrese....and Taye Diggs.....and the MAJORITY of black male singers/rappers

You will rarely, if ever, hear black women stating a preference for light skinned black, biracial or non-black men....EVER.

Please like Chris brown and drake don't get twice the love they get.

It deserves to be heard but you already know how it's going to go. They will basically say that dark skin girls picked on them and they were never fully excepted by the black community of they are mulatto. With that being the case, I'm not saying those aren't valid reason to have a documentary, but if are honest, dark skin girls have it way worse.

The thing i hate the most about the dark vs light thing is somehow dark is always made out to be violent. i've seen several examples of it in this thread. it is racist.

i am sure there are lots of things light skin ppl go through but some of those issues are exaggerated while others ignored. i've seen more LS told they can't represent black because they are light than ls/ds fights go down. bw rarely fought one another at my school and there was never any ls vs ds battles. 4/5 fights were over boys. :what: some of you living in school daze

i did not watch dark girls and won't watch light girls. i did not watch good hair either. where are the profits from these documentaries on black culture going? to help black kids dealing with colorism? or are the creators just profiting from racism against blacks like whites?

I agree. "Dark Girls" was very poorly done and extremely imbalanced and I am certain that "Light Girls" will be the same.

What is ALWAYS left out of these colorism discussions is the exclusionary practices of light skinned blacks against darker. There is NOTHING like the bigotry of colorstruck black folks.

No, they don't. Black women do NOT praise light skinned, biracial and non-black men en masse as black men do. Sorry but it just does not happen.

Some Black women are just as color struck as some black men are.
But Society has pushed this myth that we don't love you guys even though the stats show otherwise.

There's nothing wrong with a black man having a light skin preference. There's nothing different between that and the women that shyt on short men.

Light skin women are the most desirable, deal with it.
You are black so third rate citizen so deal with it.

Darkskinned women didn't start out violent.
They turned violent because that's the only way they get attention.

They redbones and the lightskinned ones don't have to try. Guys just hit on them.

In the south!
Some of yall might not want to hear this but the self hate goes both ways. Some lightskins try to darken their bloodline. Some darkerskinned people try to lighten it.

I know for a fact my great grandmother married the darkest man she could find...and it worked:manny:

My VERY light mother did this and it didn't work. My siblings and I are all darker than her but not by much. My mother hates being light. People were mean to her and she said she never fit in anywhere. She has serious issues about her skin color and I know her tears are real.

People talk about the privilege of being lighter. Yet no one has listed any. Having some color struck c00n tell you that you're exotical ain't a fukking privilege.

In American WHITE is right. Not light. And not other. There aren't ANY privileges to being non-white in America. Not fukking one.
