“No light skin person in America should be broke, most companies only hire light skin ppl “ - Facebook war

[Henny and_ HotWings]

This doesn't apply to men
..light skin brehs just haven't eaten well since the DeBarge days when Wesley came and put them out to pasture



Most likely if you see a dark skinned woman working the front desk or direct sales its because she has an amazing, bubbly and lively personality you can't beat.

You know damn well management would prefer to have someone there with a look that'll put the conservative cacs at ease..they know their people are petty like that.

Idk bro, maybe cuz I’ve spent majority of my life in the DMV, we don’t have those sorts of problems here… there’s such a large/prominent population of blacks doing well in this region that it hardly comes up…. Here, you see blacks of ALL complexions working damn near everywhere… black people are kinda blessed in this region in the sense that we kinda have a say-so…. More than a lot of other parts of the country

Yes but women are colorist because of the pedestal men put lighter people on.

I’m just gonna leave this here, so everyone else only have themselves to blame if they continue to engage you.

Breh if you're a dark skin black man in his mid to late 30s it was hell for us as kids and teens most of the colorist comments I got was from black women they would legit say who wants a black azz baby,they only want light skin kids or they wouldn't touch a dark skin boy with a ten foot pole and these were brown skin and dark skin black girls

Apparently, those comments were made because of men putting light skinned women on a pedestal. Apparently, women have zero autonomy when it comes to their words or thoughts.

And also, you should get over it and heal. But if you were a woman in that same position, you’re allowed to lament it 20/30 years later with no push back.

Yes but women are colorist because of the pedestal men put lighter people on. If you all declare yourselves as the leaders of women then when are you going to acknowledge the role you played in making women feel that way?

This is a grade-A example of dodging accountability.

This is a grade-A example of dodging accountability.

There is no factual evidence that BM started colorism. Complicit? Yes. But started it? No. And as stated, BW can be colorist as well. I met my fair share of them. A lot of woman posters on this site suffer from brain rot. Just come on here to point fingers and ok lunacy from other BW. It’s not ok for darker skin BW to have a violent hate for LS BW because of colorism. That’s insane and the fact that she is trying to legitimize their hate. Because of proximity, a lot of black people have fukked me over, but should I hate all black people because of this? Lol. No wonder @Nicole0416_718_929_646212 got in her ass. She’s such a dumb bytch.

Most women are delusional and have an overinflated opinion of themselves in general. So when they get rejected for whatever, they’ll never look inwards and admit they’re not up to par, instead they’ll just resort to to generic buzzwords like “colorism”, “fatphobia”, “sexism”, etc.

 

[ItWasMeThough]

Oh and wasn’t @Chelsea Bridge the same bytch that was talking about not voting because none of the candidates interested her as if reading about Project 2025 wasn’t enough yeah, she is a big dummy. I muted that dimwit ever since she said that dumb shyt. MF’ers care more about vanity shyt more than they do their own civil liberties n rights.

No, both sides are colorist due to insecurity.

If anyone or anything is to blame, it's white supremacy. It's a proven fact that this is where colorism stems from.

When the people who control what you see in the media (before black men even had ANY input at all) constantly put out messaging that black features are ugly and white features are good, you naturally become insecure.

Those of us who are less resistant to the messaging, will fall fall victim to it.

If you muted me why do you know when I’m saying anything?

Carry this around when you talk to people

I wonder when men will accept accountability?

PAWG, PAAG, Yellow Bone, Redbone…

Y’all will never get how your actions have consequences but you want women to take the blame.

Of course white supremacy is to blame. That’s how it started. My point is how it permeated black people to the point where the so-called leaders began to equate femininity and beauty with women that looked a certain way. If you want to tell me that’s not true then talk to the women who have dealt with it.

You’re an idiot and have no idea what you’re talking about. And that crazy bytch Nicole never got in no one’s ass. She said a lot of dumb shyt which is why she’s in the bushes where she belongs.

I never said anything about having a violent hate. Stop making shyt up.

I said cause and effect. Look it up genius.

That applies to a lot of issues in the black community but yall get so in your feelings about every damn thing that you can’t even see the point.

Once again, colorism came from men. How can you even make a claim that’s it’s mostly women speaking on this when you catapulted the problem? How many more pawg and paag threads do you need to see before you start to realize where problem comes from?

Men have constantly pitted women against each other.. like one is better than the other and then you wonder why women start to compare you too..

Like I said… cause and effect.

If men don’t want to accept that they are the originators of these problems then there’s no conversation to be had.

This makes no sense. Men and women are equally affected by colorism. Colorism, the one drop rule, blanqueamiento are all white supremacist ideas that black people internalized. People can't have a honest argument about it in America because its usually framed in the context of relationship and desirability because it is not as bad as the overt discrimination and the caste system of based on skin color like Brazil or Dominican Republic.

White people started this shyt, light skinned black women and men benefit equally. That is to say women also place light skin men and women on a pedestal as much as men.

So you think black men dictate what's considered beautiful in America? Black men are the one picking people in movies, tv commercial, print media, etc? White people are the dominant culture, they are the one that started it and the one pushing it.

Yall can call me a c00n or colorist but ALOT BUT NOT ALL dark skin BW have a serious hatred for light skin women you see it on twitter,Fb and TIKTOK live dark skin and light skin brehs can joke with each other and still be friends with no hatred but it's different with the women yall should really listen to some of the TikTok lives a lot of dark skin BW got a deep hatred for light skin BW especially African women who want to date us AA brehs or dark skin BW from the UK Just go on TikTok live and listen to BW talk about colorism

Light skinned women stay winning.It's the light skinned men who got tossed out with the bath water.They've been turned into a joke meme.Soft, "too pretty",not as masculine, cringey.Having the stereotype of being soft, "too pretty", and lacking masculinity actually benefits light skinned women.What happened to Drake this past yr didn't make it no better for light skinned men.They gotta hit the gym extra hard, get tatted, exude hardened street appeal, and study Iceberg Slim just to maybe get a foot in the door with most sistas these days.

Accept accountability for what? Going after women we like? Men aren't really blaming other men for why they are single and angry.
