Mixed Girl: "I Only Date BM, But Black Men That Only Dated White & LightSkin Girls Are Red Flags"

[Swagnificent]

Dark skin black men generally aren't jealous of light skin black men. I think that time passed back in the 80's bruh.

You'll be surprised.

I've had dark skin brothas say that we (light skin brothas) are privilged over them. Both when it comes to women and society at large.

But you're right that its not as prevelant as it is with women.

I only hear that from bruh's who were teens or older in the 80's. Once Wesley Snipes hit the scene it actually put dark skin men back on the map. It's actually flipped now and I hear women giving dark skin men praise. The pendulum swings back and forth so times will probably change again eventually but dark bruh's are eating out here.

Says it's fact. Can't provide a source wants me to look up a source for HIS claims.

Can't fault you though. Can't find something that doesn't exist

Did you fail high school history?....how old are you?

They were off whites that were brought in cause black population too high post slavery. Then Irish became the police and earned their white card.

"Black" (like "white") is a social construct. Before our present social construct of race was created, people were just categorized by tribes. Nobody in Africa was going around calling themselves "black". Or here in the Americas. People were simply the tribe or nation they belonged to.

Whiteness and blackness are both American constructs that were created. If you actually were American and studied our history you would know that what makes someone "white" for example has changed throughout history. There was a time in America when the Irish and Italians weren't considered "white". Then they became "white". And so on.

Black and White are social constructs that were created in the America.

These are 100% facts. I’m not sure why anyone is disagreeing. The concept of “race” was started by Europeans.

If anyone disagrees, ask yourself who decided when Italians and the Irish became white?

The fact you can't recognize our people exposes you as a cac.

She's clearly black.

She looks Black to me, too; especially because of her hair and facial features.
Richaveli is Black too, though.

Y'all DO know @Benefited literally used a pistol to coerce more than one BLACK WOMAN into sex, right?
He said that in his own words.
Y'all do know he continued foreplay after a woman said "No", right?

Don't know why y'all dap this RAPIST.

this is a myth....the first one droppers in the USA were self-imposed by afroeuropeans before white people actually made it a rule

Before and during the centuries of slavery, people had interracial relationships, both forced and voluntarily formed. In the antebellum years, free people of mixed race (free people of color) were considered legally white if individuals had less than one-eighth or one-quarter African ancestry (depending on the state).[5] Many mixed-race people were absorbed into the majority culture based simply on appearance, associations and carrying out community responsibilities. These and community acceptance were the more important factors if a person's racial status were questioned, not his or her documented ancestry. Because of the social mobility of antebellum society in frontier areas, many people did not have documentation about their ancestors.

Based on DNA and historical evidence, Thomas Jefferson is widely believed to have fathered the six mixed-race children of his slave Sally Hemings; four survived to adulthood. Hemings was three-quarters white by ancestry and a half-sister of Martha Wayles Jefferson.[quote 1] Their children were born into slavery because of her status; as they were seven-eighths European in ancestry, they were legally white under Virginia law of the time.[6] Jefferson allowed the two oldest to escape in 1822 (freeing them legally was a public action he elected to avoid); the two youngest he freed in his 1826 will. Three of the four entered white society as adults, and all their descendants identified as white.[6]



The one-drop rule was not adopted as law until the 20th century: first in Tennessee in 1910 and in Virginia under the Racial Integrity Act of 1924 (following the passage of similar laws in several other states).

Jim Crow laws reached their greatest influence during the decades from 1910 to 1930. Among them were hypodescent laws, defining as black anyone with any black ancestry, or with a very small portion of black ancestry.[3] Tennessee adopted such a "one-drop" statute in 1910, and Louisiana soon followed. Then Texas and Arkansas in 1911, Mississippi in 1917, North Carolina in 1923, Virginia in 1924, Alabama and Georgia in 1927, and Oklahoma in 1931. During this same period, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Utah retained their old "blood fraction" statutes de jure, but amended these fractions (one-sixteenth, one-thirty-second) to be equivalent to one-drop de facto.[14]

Before 1930, individuals of visible mixed European and African ancestry were usually classed as mulatto, or sometimes as black and sometimes as white, depending on appearance. Previously, most states had limited trying to define ancestry before "the fourth degree" (great-great-grandparents). But, in 1930, due to lobbying by southern legislators, the Census Bureau stopped using the classification of mulatto. Documentation of the long social recognition of mixed-race people was lost.

the people that would become "african-americans" were self-one dropping themselves waaaayyy before white people made it a law. See below

Robert Purvis (August 4, 1810 – April 15, 1898)

was an African-American abolitionist in the United States. He was born in Charleston, South Carolina, educated at Amherst College in Massachusetts, and lived most of his life in Philadelphia. In 1833 he helped found the American Anti-Slavery Society there and the Library Company of Colored People. From 1845-1850 he served as president of the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society and also traveled to England to gain support for the movement.

Douglass considered himself to be neither White nor Black, but both. His multiracial self-identity showed in his first autobiography. Introducing his father in Narrative, Douglass wrote, “My father was a white man.” In this text, his mother was a stranger whom he had never seen in daylight, he could not picture her face, and he was unmoved by news of her death.4 Not only did Douglass adopt a fictional Scottish hero’s name, he emphasized his (perhaps imagined) Scots descent through his father. When visiting Great Britain in 1845-47, Douglass extended his stay in Scotland. He immersed himself in Scottish music and ballads, which he played on the violin for the rest of his life. Having plunged into a Scottish ethnic identity, Douglass wrote to his (then) friend, William Lloyd Garrison, “If I should meet you now, amid the free hills of old Scotland, where the ancient ‘black Douglass’ [sic] once met his foes… you would see a great change in me!”5 Upon arriving in Nantucket, Douglass hoped to represent a blending of both endogamous groups, a man who was half-White and half-Black:

Young, ardent, and hopeful, I entered upon this new life in the full gush of unsuspecting enthusiasm. The cause was good, the men engaged in it were good, the means to attain its triumph, good…. For a time, I was made to forget that my skin was dark and my hair crisped.6

But acceptance by White society was out of reach for Douglass. He discovered that, in the North, there was no such thing as a man who was half-Black. White ships’ caulkers in New Bedford denied him a chance to work at his craft because in their eyes he was all Black.7 When he joined the Garrisonians on a boat to an abolitionist convention in Nantucket, and a squabble broke out because the White abolitionists demanded that the Black abolitionists take lesser accommodations, Douglass found himself classified as Black by his friends. Later in Nantucket, Douglass so impressed the Garrisonians with his public speaking that abolitionist Edmund Quincy exchanged reports with others that Douglass was an articulate public speaker, “for a ******.”8 Repeatedly, Douglass tried to present himself as an intermediary between America’s two endogamous groups. But the Garrisonians made it clear that he was expected to present himself as nothing more than an intelligent “Negro.” He was told to talk only about the evils of slavery and ordered to stop talking about the endogamous color line. “Give us the facts [about being a slave]. We will take care of the [racial] philosophy.” They also ordered him to “leave a little plantation speech” in his accent.9 In their own words, they wanted to display a smart “******,” but not too smart.

Douglass’s cruelest discovery came after he broke with the Garrisonians and went out on his own. Abolitionist friends of both endogamous groups had warned him that there was nothing personal in how Garrison had used him. The public did not want an intermediary; they wanted an articulate Black. Douglass soon discovered that his friends were right. His newspaper, The North Star,failed to sell because it had no market; White Yankees wanted to read White publications and Black Yankees wanted to read Black ones. Indeed, Black political leaders resented Douglass’s distancing himself from Black ethno-political society. There was no room in Massachusetts for a man who straddled the color line.

Douglass dutifully reinvented himself. He applied himself to learning Black Yankee culture. “He began to build a closer relationship with… Negro leaders and with the Negro people themselves, to examine the whole range of Negro problems, and to pry into every facet of discrimination.”10 Eight months later, The North Star’s circulation was soaring and Black leader James McCune Smith wrote to Black activist Gerrit Smith:

You will be surprised to hear me say that only since his Editorial career has he seen to become a colored man! I have read his paper very carefully and find phrase after phrase develop itself as in one newly born among us.11

From that day on, Douglass never looked back. The public wanted him to be hyper-Black and so hyper-Black he became. His later autobiographies reveal the change.12 Narrative (1845) says that his “father was a white man,” My Bondage and My Freedom (1854) says that his father “was shrouded in mystery” and “nearly white,” and The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass (1882-1892) says flatly, “of my father I know nothing.”13 Narrative says that his mother was a stranger whose death did not affect him, and Bondage and Freedom reports that he was “deeply attached to her,” Life and Times says that “her image is ineffably stamped upon my memory,” and describes her death with “great poignancy and sorrow.”14

And yet, although he donned a public persona of extreme Blackness, he continued to see himself as half White Scottish in his private life. When he eventually married Helen Pitts, a woman of the White endogamous group, even close friends were bothered by the mismatch between the public and private Douglasses.15 In a speech in 1886 Jacksonville, Florida, Douglass justified his intermarriage on the grounds of his own multiracial self-identity. According to James Weldon Johnson:

Douglass spoke, and moved a large audience of white and colored people by his supreme eloquence. … Douglass was speaking in the far South, but he spoke without fear or reservation. One statement in particular that he made, I now wonder if any Negro speaker today, under the same circumstances, would dare to make, and, if he did, what the public reaction would be; Douglass, in reply to the current criticisms regarding his second marriage, said, “In my first marriage I paid my compliments to my mother’s race; in my second marriage I paid my compliments to the race of my father.”16

* * * * *

The clash between how Douglass saw himself in 1838 and the public persona that he was forced to portray, was due to the presence of African-American ethnicity in the North.17 Free citizens of part-African ancestry in the South, especially in the lower South, lacked the sense of common tradition associated with ethnic self-identity. This essay traces the emergence of African-American ethnicity and the subsequent evolution of the color line in five topics: Origins of African-American Ethnicity explains how the imposition of a unique endogamous color line eventually led to the synthesis of a unique ethno-cultural community in the Jacksonian Northeast. African-American Ethnic Traits outlines the customs of the Black Yankee ethnic group to show that they gave birth to many of today’s Black traditions. The Integration versus Separatism Pendulum introduces a debate that has occupied Black political leaders since colonial times. The Color Line in the North contrasts the harsh enforcement of the intermarriage barrier in the free states with the more permeable systems of the lower South (as presented in the preceding three essays). The National Color Line’s Rise and Fall concludes this section on the endogamous color line by presenting two graphs. The first shows that which side of the endogamous color line you were on was most hotly contested in U.S. courts between 1840 and 1869. The second shows that the color line grew abruptly stronger during Reconstruction, was at its harshest during Jim Crow, and began to recover only around 1980.

great post, Charles Wadell Chestnutt who is famous for the short story "Wife of his Youth" , he did the same thing as those guys did to.

he had some black in him but mostly white and could pass. But choose to identify as black

How is this 4 pages? shes retarded. she only dates black dudes....so are the dudes she dating red flags? On the first date does she ask "do you only date redbones or naw"

This girl is an idiot. I mostly date reds not because thats all I'm looking for (I went out with a girl my complexion last night, but that shyt went no where) but because thats the women who've eventually gave me the play. I'd date any shade of black but I'm on some colorism shyt cuz the women my color curve me but the light brights flock? man if you don't get your rashida jones ass outta here

no she's not....if she see herself as "black," (remember, black in america means a person of african descent regardless of admx ratio or what they look like) her only dating "black" guys it 100% normal. She's specifically talking about black men who are color struck.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Curry isn't 100% black. So none of his off spring with a white chick could be 50% anything. Anyway this chick took a dna test and she's 75% white.

curry is 100% black...he's just not, as they say, 100% "negroid"

Its complete and utter babble. She pretty much looks like she jewish. If these nikkas like lite brites who cares, as long as they not on no self hate shyt what does it matter. Even if they go "I only dated lighter girls" who the fukk cares. Maybe they got clowned to oblivion by women their complexion. If some girl was like Ive only dated brown boys, me as a brown boy is not going to combust. I'd ask why and if its a viable reason cool . Be making problems out of nothing. whats the point of this discourse shes making. Shes looks white as shyt, dates only brothers, and is mad at the brothers who possibly mostly like to date women...who look like her ? stop caping for this attention whoring. its weird.
