its scientifically proven blacks come in the most shades look it up.
:snoop:

It does have a name but not in the same sense as with black people. I'm not talking about stereotyping I'm not attributing anything extra to anyone with specific skin tones I'm merely acknowledging them. Asians and Hispanics also have names for the colors my dude and there's also a very fukked up history/association behind it. Aknowledging that exists isn't gonna hurt anyone, it's not bad for the psyche, pitting them against each other is.

Asians and Hispanics have been fukked over by the caste which I've already stated. White's tanning is an aesthetic thing, there is no stereotyping or in-group out-group BS driving it. I don't see any reason to acknowledge that shade other than for appearance purposes, all that "this shade is Black" "this color is feminine" "this color means unintelligent" is so ass backwards. Many of us came from parents of the opposite ends of the spectrum for Blacks so why does it even matter?

I know what you're getting at and I truly agree with you but I don't think this falls into the category that you're talking about. If you appreciate how is it wrong? Especially for black people who've been told they're ugly and subhuman for hundreds of years.

Because it promote the connotations that come with each shade. The sooner we stop thinking about this, the better we'll be for it.

I'm with you. :laugh:OP knows what he's doing...discussing certain,unvisited topics about colorism I can understand because colorism is a child of racism so why not discuss it?... but what I can't wrap my head around is that people are actually INTERESTED in what other's perceive as light,medium, & dark."That's how you know someone is colorstruck.
He had people breaking down shades of fukking brown from light brown to medium brown to dark brown to dark skin and very dark skin, are you fukking serious? Is that what the next gen do? A nikka enters class and you sizing up where he stands on the paper bag test, on some "yea he cute he light medium peanut butter dash of coffee brown"

We are way to minority to be dealing with tripartite sub-categorization, thats shyt you reserve for majority groups. No way should we be having our version of nordic/alpine/mediterranean

that's what cacs do. :scusthov:

yes I recognize individuals have their own tones, but trying to categorize it into brackets, and sub-brackets is lame as fukk.

I just feel like it doesn't have to promote anything but the actual physical trait if we don't want it to.

In an ideal world. You see these negroes, let's be real :stopitslime:
right?

like you aint seeing memes "light skin nikkas be like" "dark skin nikkas be like"

they're already trying to tie skin color to characteristics, not knowing thats actually what was used against them just a generation ago. the darker the skin the lower your iq is. how about that?
