The Biracial Aesthetic: Colorism and Hollywood.

[philmonroe]

This is kinda off topic but why are lightskin women seen as less black ?

Man this is online shyt done by ugly insecure people and lames trying to be down for every cause. I ask dudes this all the time who the fukk doing complexion test when they see a good looking chick to them IRL? I know I'm not and no guy I'm with does. My dikk ain't like she DS don't get turned on and try to talk to her. FOH if she is attractive I'm trying to see whats what. If she isn't regardless of complexion because contrary to popular Internet lames views there are unattractive folks of every complexion I'm not. Its that fukking simple but Internet freedom fighters have to make shyt harder than it is for some strange reason.

That’s not that this topic is about.

It isnt just light skin or biracials getting roles over darker skin women and girls. But darker skin being only casted as the angry/ sassy/ loud/ overtly-sexualized women and the lighter skin counterpart as the good girl/ love interest/ classy/ or privileged person.

Kid and Play actually fall into these stereotypes in their own films.

You're right, this is offtopic (cuz lightskin doesn't always = biracial) but i'll respond to this anyway

Only insecure black people think this.

Its one thing to chastise WS for pitting fully black people against each other based on complexion
Its something completely different to do the exact same fukkin thing to each other


Listen carefully to how some darkskin black people talk about lightskin black people and they will sound exactly like white racist shyt is embarrasing

Its even worse now, now they straight up just removing the darker skin women from the mix entirerly and replacing them with biracials

I was watching this show on TNT called I am the night that takes place during Jim Crow era (or right after).
You wanna know who the black main character is?

Hmmm... maybe she's just a little lightskin?
lets see a picture of her not on set

Yooooooooo "

turned that shyt off with the quickness


I could be the greatest TV show of all time for all I know, but i'm not watching something where this is supposed to be a "colored" person

My only issue with this conversation is when we blame ourselves for hollywood's portrayal of us.
Darkskin blaming lightskin for roles being lost
Lightskin blaming darkskin for typecasting

Blame hollywood.. stop colorism in-fighting

That part play out in the story.

The limited series is inspired by the extraordinary real life of Fauna Hodel, a white girl who grew up in Nevada thinking she was mixed race after a wealthy family gave her to a black casino attendant shortly after her birth. She later discovered the deeply unsettling reasons why by unraveling the gnarled knots of her ancestry, revealing links to some of Hollywood’s most enduring mysteries
