It's a testament to how damaged we are. Meanwhile other groups are building early and often.
It's nearly 1am yet he still has nearly 6k people on his stream. I am pretty sure that's way more than Tariq normally has on his streams.I can't believe how long this thread is.
Chat is comedy.
It’s funny, colorism is usually attributed to black men (dark skinned ones in particular) but it seems to be overlooked when it comes from Black women.
.
The reason he brings it up is because most of the women that call in say they want to stay home with kids in a upper middle class lifestyle and a man needs a certain amount of money to do so. He repeatably says the same thing about Latinos that you have and uses that as a example to women who are average but want a above average lifestyle.

I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve heard a woman say “I want my child to have good hair/light eyes” etc.
The only time I’ve seen a show address it was when I happened to catch an episode of ‘Girlfriends’
Toni was on a blind date with a rich guy and once she found out he was dark skinned, she was immediately turned off. When she told her friends they all scolded her, saying the pool of rich black men is small, and the lighter rich ones are either smaller.
Then she went into a woe is me “I was told I was pretty for a dark skinned girl all the time.” And she didn’t want a “tar baby”. I think she eventually married a Jewish guy in the show.
Crazy I always remembered that episode because I hardly watched the show but that episode stood out to me. Because I see this happen all the time.
I’m just gonna leave this here:

we’re all victims of white supremacy.I just don’t see why they can’t keep this to themselves. They say this shyt to us to try to make us feel bad about ourselves when they’re the ones talking down on themselves.@Balla to be fair
As you said, when it comes to aesthetics, dark skinned men ‘tend’ to get more of a pass because dark skin is seen as masculine.
Black women have had to deal with the “masculine” label due to feminism and CAC propaganda. So we can’t ignore centuries of the Black woman’s femininity being stripped away.
That being said, we can’t ignore how in the 80s, light skin was in and brehs with the good hair were sex symbols. Dark skinned men being seen as a sex symbol didn’t really take off until Nino Brown shanked Christopher Williams in the hand.
But there is definitely a double standard. Especially on social media because it’s made to pander to the “woe is me” diaspora whilst these male simps co-sign their bird babble.
