You fake online militants are funny :mjlol:

There were PLENTY of whites during the civil rights era who didnt just put money up and hide in the background but went out and HELPED blacks at the risk of their own lives. To say what you just said is ignoring that very fact.

That's a terrible straw man argument bytch ass nikka. :mjlol:Risk of their own lives? You mean potential push back by THEIR OWN fukkING PEERS?

I don't get the big deal. What's wrong with a market catering to dark-skin women? Hell, on the coli you always have lightbrights being posted as beauty besides KSH threads. Dark-skin women need to have a lane for beauty. Also, dark melanin is fleek :banderas:

I don't think there is a problem with it, but as black people we sometimes have an issue with what I call finessing. We're to in your face sometimes without nuance or subtlety. She should just hire all dark skin models without screaming from the mountain top that she's catering to dark skin models.

Same with products geared towrd black people. You don't have to scream it from the mountaint top. Just put a picture of a dark skin black person on it and let it sell itself.

only people going against this would be those without 2 black parents or have mixed kids. they're not looking out for black peoples best interest and there's a reason for that.

Well they need a fukking wakeup call too, genetics can do whatever it wants to, your future children or grandchildren could come out "darker than the paperbag" no matter how much you covet lightskin.

I think this is a beautiful idea.

You exaggerate a lot.....And I mean...A LOT.

What was exaggerated? :jbhmm:

If it means anything to you MY preference is women that look like you :obama: ( maybe not as crazy:dame: ). But carry on :myman:

Dark skin being your preference is not enough.

Demanding a Dark Skin Black Woman's respect is what is impressive.There are tons of Black Men across the nation who say foul, disgusting things about Dark Skin Black Women and if you don't check your fellow brehthren when they talk sideways about Dark Skin Black Women, or work to aim for Dark Skin Black Women getting their respect then I don't know what to do with that.

I agree with this in principle, but the reason I think she is screaming it from the rooftop is to get the funding as she probably feels she doesn't have the pull as a lone entity to have a magazine last without it's purpose being known

Read through the posts, most of us are in here because of a name confusion involving some human POISON.
