I feel you, but when dark skinned BW were talking about being represented/erased by the light skinned, mixed women in media, people said BW were insecure, hating, etc. All the mixed, Latina, etc women in music videos and advertising, Black men in media talking about redbone this and that, LS is just everyone’s “preference”, etc.
All that shyt was by design too, but I just find it interesting that no one is concerned about propaganda or erasure when it’s dark skinned BW talking.
It’s a movie about a mermaid. It will come and go. The 7YO black girls watching this won’t be running into Brad’s arms at 18 because they saw this. Now, they may run into his arms when all of the brehs junior and senior year ask the White and Latina girls to prom before them. THAT will definitely do it.
