Future just exposed the real battle that’s been brewing. Black woman vs the Exoticals

[Eternally Jaded]

Joie Chavis would like to have a word with your Boujee self.

Most rappers simp and trick for exoticals more than they love themselves.

I don't think she's an exotica tho.

She just lightskin tbh.

 

[Eternally Jaded]

Only men can say this. If a Black woman says this we’re hating lol

Nah, y'all can definitely say this.

You just can't be false flagging it in the name of the sisterhood the way some do.

Ie, nobody is gonna give you pushback is you say Bria Myles, Taylor Rooks, some other beautiful chick with creamy brown skin and a gorgeous face is eating the sugar cookies up high key.

But if you say Keke Palmer is eating up Yara Shahidi, it's not gonna be taken seriously, not because Yara is a biracial exotical but because we've seen Keke without makeup and her skin is cooked.

The Sisterhood is quick to be kind in an insincere way, and brehs outside that will call it out in a quick minute.

All that to say this though; there are definitely too many men who see skin color as a positive/negative. Which is ludicrous, it's just a complexion.

Tisha Campbell looks like Bulbasaur with her wide ass mouth and nobody realized it because they're blinded by her light skin.

This is the most the Coli thread ever I've seen

It's a serious issue for boogerwolves. But women like:

and

It's not much of an issue.

When those same boogerwolves can't use the colorism talk angle will pivot to talking about "pretty privilege" and pretty DS Black women having "eurocentric" features.

See the thing is tho, it's not just the facial features but the thinner hair curls as well.

Heads seem to not want to acknowledge/admit that light skin with the good hair did a number on us, and we've learned to point and pick the features we like overtime.

So a breh might have nothing but bad brown skin women in his favorites list, but you notice all their hair/sew ins falls under the good hair label.

When his own and those of the women in his family is the kinkier, tighter curl.

That's where the "your mama's black" pushback comes from.

Tastes prioritizing the opposite of features you grew up seeing around you daily.

So this gonna be a tag team match or royal rumble?

 

[African Peasant]

I’ve said this before. If you’re a dark skinned dime you have no problem!!

Not true.

Truth had to be told breh.

They still face colorism/racism.

Most of the ds baddies I know got wifed early and if they don’t it’s due to them wanting to execute their options.

The question is do the light skinned less attractive women get treated the same way as the dark skinned less attractive women? If not, why?

Yes, if they’re entertaining the same type of men.

(They’re told they ain't exotic enough, nose too broad, no admixture etc).

No, by men in general.

They’re more likely to marry from younger.

I know a chick who looks like a yellow chimp, she was always fighting, promiscuous throughout her teens and got married to a solid Muslim breh in her early 20s and settled down.

Women in general rarely clock their issue with men is the type of men they lust after not men as a collective.

If you’re attracted to men who are always chasing the latest trend you’re gonna keep splitting and dicing yourself to keep up.

It matters because the narrative of “black girls are not desirable, exotic women are” that is consistently pushed in black male dominated spaces has real life implications on REAL black women. Look in this very thread, there’s a dude laughing about black dancers being locked out of sections for other women.

We’ve seen several stories of black women being turned away from clubs for not “looking the part”.

We’ve heard several non black women attack black women because they feel they’ve taken “their men”. Erica Mena was calling Spice a monkey. Dani Leigh was bragging that Da Baby left his black girlfriend and child for her “because yellow bones are better”. Cyn Santana was bragging that black males treat “them” better than black women. This is a common theme and black women have to deal with these attacks and criticisms unprovoked because we are constantly told “it’s not that serious” “it’s just a preference” “you’re dramatic”.

Sorry but I will never encourage antiblackness. That shyt spreads like a disease and it’s hard to combat once it’s internalized.

So yeah, shoutout to Future for not feeding into that bullshyt. He has a large audience and the last thing we need more of is antiblackness.

Real recognise real.

Future & King Von kept a bad brownskin/darkskin around… same as I do.

 

[Iceson Beckford]

They still face colorism/racism

People still tryna tell us this doesn’t happen

If you’re not a “dime” it’s fine to be subjected to second class status amongst your own race apparently. Clown shyt.

Lil Wayne said what many black men think out loud, “Beautiful black woman I bet that bytch look better red”

Why can’t we just be honest about this? Dark skinned women can be GORGEOUS and still deal with colorism heavy. Being pretty won’t save you from hatred of your skin color.

Justine Skye is more beautiful than literally every other light brite that’s propped up as “fine” in todays climate but where’s her clout? I see more women praising her than men do and she’s genuinely top tier gorgeous. But Ice Spice gets the worship. Let’s just be real.

Tisha Campbell was supposed to be “the pretty one” even though Tichina was eating her up physically.

A lot of you won’t be honest with yourselves about it but many black males will happily select a mid exotical/light skinned over a gorgeous dark skinned black woman.

 

[Ziggiy]

Shoutout to Future for keeping it 100 and always making it very clear he fux with black women heavy. He never did that exxotical/becky pandering like 98% of his peers. Plus he keeps a pretty black woman in his life always. I can respect that if nothing else.

Now if only he’d take care of his black children the cypher would be complete
