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.

Ice Spice isn't as popular as Meagan the Stallion.

As far as Justine goes, she may be pretty but she is far more conservative than both Ice Spice and Meagan. Sex sells and she ain't showing off the goods like the other two women mentioned.

:manny:

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.

This reads like a justification to continue sleeping with your cousin.

The Westermarck effect, also known as reverse sexual imprinting, is a psychological hypothesis that states that people tend not to be attracted to peers with whom they lived like siblings before the age of six. This hypothesis was first proposed by Finnish anthropologist Edvard Westermarck in his book The History of Human Marriage (1891) as one explanation for the incest taboo.

I truly wonder where yall grew up where "getting" a lightskin woman is seen as some sort of "hard" thing to do :laff: . As if you need to have some sort of skill or something so "hopefully that good lightskin woman would give me a chance":mjlol:.

Yeah the average dude is just flailing to fukk whatever he can get his hands on and don't got the time resources options and/or drive to be weakest link'ing girls solely based on their complexion, not in real time. This one of those things where celebrity antics gets transposed on the greater black community hence Future being used as some beacon of militancy.

That's not to say black people aren't affected by colorism but it's a broader systemic issue that affects both men and women.

Darker complexioned black women are a lot more desired than many on the internet would have you believe.

And Lil Wayne is an ignorant c00n rapper. You should be more pressed about the political garbage that tumbles out of his mouth than anything.

Justine Skye isn't putting herself out there. Pam's whole deal was that she was mean while Gina was the nice girl which is why her getting fussy was played up as odd and funny. If anything, Gina was sort of portrayed as a naive idiot while Pam as someone who had sense. The fact that simple comedy is going over your head due to this issue speaks to trauma you need to sort out with some therapist than online.

My main issue with this is:
If the concerns were about how colorism directly affects one's access to jobs, healthcare, and so on, I'd be more sympathetic. That's a conversation worth having. That route is dangerous but I'd understand. But the entire focus of this argument has been in regards to dating and even more, using the views of rappers as proof of what the average black man thinks. Think about it: we're equating rappers to regular degular black men. I'd expect that from a white person, not someone who is black. Maybe that's the issue that's the problem.

That said, I sort of understand why the discussion always comes back to black dikk, as opposed to something more concrete: This lets people throw around their experiences as fact instead of providing actual data and numbers. It also allows one to indict black men as the main culprit and creates a stance to attack them, rather than going after any group that would promote whiteness or anything in its periphery as good aka non-black men. It's just another tactic and it is tiresome. It would have more meaning if the main people complaining about it did not have a track record of hating out outright bashing black men or at the very least, making it clear they do not care for black men and prefer or have no issue going with non-black men. The whole thing makes no sense at all going down this road.

I mean ask all the rappers that brag about bagging light skin/exotic women? They are the ones telling the world that bagging a light brite is a sign of WINNING. They are the prize. That would indicate that they are hard to acquire, or rare. I mean just look at the implications of the messaging.

Future addressing it gives credence to the fact that this phenomenon is common amongst a certain group of black men. We all see it! They prize exoticals, even the ugly ones.

I see the conversation shifted a little bit. But I’ve stated in this forum before that I’m not a colorist, but features really do have a significant impact on who I date. So hair for instance, I like women with dense hair with shine, whether that’s 4C or 3C.

Because it may not be true for other brehs.

But if we look at is as a big rampant problem, it is because too many people treat the issue as an original sin put on that person or group and seek to indict and punish that person disproportionately rather than seeking to find and and tackle the root of the very system that, often by their own admission, is the true cause of it.
Don't believe me? If we blame white supremacy as the cause of this issue, as we often rightfully do, why is my post one of, if not the first one mentioning it in all the posts in this thread? My point exactly. This is why some have a hard time taking it seriously in the first place.

In any case, too many people come to these arguments looking to hear the opinions rattling around in their head to be reflected back at them, only to call it "truth" and variations of that. This is why these conversations are pointless with some people. :mjlol:
