It isn't all roses for lighter blacks.
They also have negative connotations applied to them, and to anyone who disagrees, you can't claim white supremacy and colorism exists - which gives advantages to light skin blacks -
and then in the same breath, claim it can't breed any resentment.
I definitely have seen and head females sucking their teeth at lighter chicks and swearing that, "She thinks she cute."
They didn't have to think they were "all that." Them being yellow was enough to come to that conclusion.
Light skin males are pretty boys, soft, and feminine. This is parroted and enforced by black people.
On the flip side, some lighter skin women do believe they're superior because of their skin tone.
It goes both ways, though.

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.

do you wish you were darker, how do u feel bout midnightboyz :mjlupecry:

More like ugly dark skinned women complain. Good looking dark skin women aren't losing any sleep or men.




And let's not act like light skin dudes don't get clowned on.

This is true, also.

Only struggle lightskin nikkas go through is tryna figure out how hard they should squint they eyes for selfies

Only struggle lightskin women go through is tryna figure out which of the 87 nikkas' texts she's currently ignoring is worth her time


When people get a good draw in life and still manage to complain or falsely feel persecuted

white feminists in a NUTSHELL.

Light skinned bytches don't have a struggle in the world!

Breh, I'll use myself as an example. I'm a fair skinned, blue eyed, "light & loose" haired, "I could probably pass but I won't", Jesse Williams (black identifying, biracial) type mother*cker & while as (because we like to get technical on the coli) black(ISH) and/or non-whites we share a very similar experience here in America, it would be irresponsible and blatant denial if I didn't acknowledge that our experiences with oppression/racism differ. I DO have it easier & it is LARGELY due to my physical features & especially my fairer skin. Having privilege & being willfully ignorant denying it is just a sh*tty thing to do. Take what I wrote, substitute colorism for racism, apply it to the topic at hand (black women) and there you have it. Acknowledging you have it better (no matter the degree) than others will not take anything away from you, I promise.

Proof pics?

Dark Girls was a terrible doc, btw.

I never understood why people especially other women would think there's a benefit to men potentially thinking you're more desirable. Unless it's the man you actually want it's just a burden.

I feel all women would share in the awkwardness and how uncomfortable it is to have someone trying to talk to you persistently in a public setting, everyone listening, receiving embarrassing compliments, asked personal questions, etc. Being ogled and potentially harassed is a benefit now?

And there's a whole sexualized component to this racism thing. If you're light and like other races then it's fine but being light and liking black men only just makes it worse. White guys flirting too just becomes upsetting. Is this some slave fetish you're trying to live out but too scared to approach a darker woman so approach me since I MUST love white people? I'm not a modern day house slave, go away.

And the insult of other people like Hispanics or Arabs flirting with questions like "where are you from?" Are you trying to pre-qualify me based on race?...it's a quick yet constant reminder of almost being accepted in society but not solely because your race.

This is never brought up in these discussions as if the goal of women with lighter complexions is to have multi racial orgies.

This is true & actually pretty funny, especially in todays age when American women in particular are claiming they don't want to be approached or fawned over.
No one approaches you = you're discriminated against because you're not the ideal beauty standard and not valued.
Men always approach you = street harassment and "thirst."

Well I always said I prefer dark skin black women, but I betrayed y'all last night. I Spent all last night drinking and taking shots with this Redbone with straight hair and dark lips while watching one of the worst nights in college football ever, my SEC!!!

She drove me home so we could get some alone time and we made out in the car. She said she goes back home Sunday, hopefully I get to smash today or tomorrow while her fam and mines is sleep or something

I don't mind that they tell their story.Every story deserves to be told,but to be completely honest, I don't care.

I believe there are issues and struggles, even if I don't feel it is near as much as what darker complected people go through. But who am I to say someone's issues aren't important when they don't affect me like that... I don't even consider myself light skin but have had people not like me and/or try to "ruin my life" because certain features they cared about more than me. Part of that is being trained to think what you have is isn't good enough, that closest to white is right. That being internalized, people react to it different ways. Its the root of the issue and I have seen it in all ways. Dark skin girls being bullied or being the bullies. I have seen light skin girls being bullied or being the bullied. I have seen the egos inflated because they are yella Darker complected people get the brunt of this because of what the world is taught.

We as a people put too much emphasis on skin color among ourselves. Its not unique to our race... At a Christmas party last week this dude said I thought I was too good to give him a personal goodbye because I was light skin I was like I'm not, and I left thinking is this negro doing paper bag test in his head? We have been ingrained with this. If I cared about it I wouldn't know what color I was. Have you guys even noticed the different definitions of color people have?

you ain't light skin
