Sh1t just got real on Undisputed: Chris Broussard and Shannon talking colorism

[duncanthetall]

Most of the time the people I'm around says it as a joke, they not really serious. Every lightskinned person I grew up with got lightskinned jokes it's not that serious. shyt me being darkskined I got jokes, and I joked right back nobody was being serious. Every great player gets hate, if you think that's hate do you not remember kobe after Colorado and lebron after the decision that level of hate is something curry will never feel and thankfully so. Also the players in the league see the bias the media has while covering curry which rubbers them the wrong way. I ask you this if lebron and kd were Steph's color do you honestly think the get the level of hate they have gotten during there careers?

This. Its only the sensitive nikkas who never had any real friends and shyt that would take offense to it. Nobody calling Steph a Lite Brite dislikes the man because of his skin color. I'm black as fukk and got called all the same shyt, african yadda yadda. Rarely funny but whatever thats what our ignorant asses do. Really weird to put this out there in a white space and just talk about some shyt that really aint all that serious. Makes us look a lot more dysfunctional than we really are.

We call him that because it rhymes and is funny to fukking say. Stop being a bunch of fukking dorks.

The light skin shyt is just jokes... We dont need to give a damn black history lesson on national tv about this.
its no different than cacs clowning gingers and shyt at this point.

The players dislike steph because hes a spoiled brat annoying pipsqueak who dominates opponents with non-physical play. Not by yamming on dudes, but pulling up from 40 and doing spice girls dances. All while being seemingly exempt from criticism most of his career and having his family worshipped and shown on tv after every play. as if hes the only player in the league who has parents and a wife. They also act like hes the only player who is Christian... as if all other players are these demonic heathens or something. Meanwhile he STAYS cursing people out and smacking ppl with his mouthguard. Thats all got to be infuriating.

The fans and critics on the other hand, are finally starting to hold him accountable for his choking episodes. As they would have with any other superstar after the first instance.. But now its considered colorism and hate??

Kareem, Barkely and AI were lightskin.....

Kidd, Marion.....no one thought they were soft....Tyson Chandler.

Yep and Shannon and Chris having this conversation in front of skip so now he thinks that’s what black people as a whole thinks like. These conversations should be just among our self’s not on no damn air. They acting like Steph the first light skinned star in the nba smh

 

[Rell84shots]

man why are we having this convo on national TV?

Because sadly we always want to air our shyt publicly, there was no need for this kind of conversation on Undisputed especially with a pandering lite brite like Broussard.

In this particular case I dont think Black ppl hate on him for his skin color. So I disagree with Barnes/Broussard.

I do believe his color makes him more acceptable to WHITE people and any other non black race.

Same way if Obama was Shannons color would he have been elected? We all know the answer to that if we are being honest.

The problem with this discussion is that they made dark skin black men the focal point, when in fact the reason why Steph gets a pass is because white people as you mentioned find him more acceptable. So this topic should've only been broached if they were going to talk about cacs willingness to accept light skin while demonizing dark skin.

can't find a pic of his wife, but that's his kid so his wife/mother of his kid(s) is obviously black

He got a black woman pregnant but he wasn't married to her, he did throw a bytch fit when someone called him out for all the pro black talk while being engaged to a becky.

anyone who believes Steph get's hate because of his complexion is an idiot. We gonna act like these players never existed and/or we're considered soft?

or

......if nba players hate steph it's because he's a media darling/media protected while also coming from privilege. Has nothing to do with his complexion

 

[GunRanger]

Broussard made a good point about the privilege stuff. All these NBA players that hate him for it are raising their kids the same way. Bronny has a million instagram followers already

Steph wasnt even recruited meanwhile Bron was getting offers from the 8th grade.


NBA players do not come from poverty. That is a myth.

 

[call_me_step_daddy]

light skin nikkas is automatically looked at as soft off top, so in the hood sometimes u will find that lightskin nikka who goin extra hard with the tuff shyt becuz of that stigma

but overall you nikkas is pus & steph is the poster child for all light skin nikkas in america

 

[Taadow]

Nobody gives a fukk about Stephen Curry complexion

Light skin is the icing on the cake.... and lets not pretend there isn't levels or thresholds to this shyt..... Steph lighter than every nikka you posted

 

[Zero]

Some of y'all really posting with your heads in the sand with this Steph isn't hated nonsense. Bronsexuals definitely hate that dude, y'all just being dishonest if you claim they don't.

In real life or just the Coli though?

Only one of these places actually matter

 

[Paradise50]

Convo that I'd rather not have around cacs. It's an issue amongst us. shyt has nothing to do w/ them because it's not their fault that dumbasses let them cacs influence their way of thinking.

Yes real life, you even got them holding media jobs like Nick Wright

And lets not forget who the current NBA MVP is.

This idea that players resent Steph cause he's light skin is a distraction. Steph Curry is resented cause he's overrated. PERIOD.

 

[Everythingg]

Perhaps... BUT, I just don’t want posters to act like it plays 0 factor in some of the hate he gets.... the fact that him being light skin helps accentuate the hate he gets(even if it’s just 15%of the reason)is still a problem....

If it doesnt play 0, then its closer to 0 than it is the 15 number you threw out. All the light skinned star/superstar players that came thru the league throughout history and HE'S the first one with this narrative of being hated by black men for being light skinned?
