Why do white people struggle with the concept of "light skinned" "dark skinned" & "brown skinned"?

[Oceanicpuppy]

@ "Stephen curry's complexion".


I know complexion doesn't discriminate with men and women but that comparison was still hilarious

you watch basketball?

Lol he is literally the only celebrity that comes close. We both got that yellow piss stain tinge. I think I’m tad bit redder though.

I don’t watch basketball.

They dont.. They just try their best to act like they are retarded

no she's not, she's brown/medium complexioned

Ashanti is lightskin

She would be "colored" in Africa

Darkskin is Idris Elba for men, Gabrielle Union for women
Brownskin is Denzel Washington for men, Megan Good for women
Lightskin is Michael Ealy for men, Paula Patton for women

It's not hard to comprehend

Listening to rap music doesn't give them insight into what is considered light, brown or dark. We don't even fully agree on it ourselves. Also their skin doesn't vary nearly as much as ours so the concept isn't necess for them.

Ashanti is more Megan Good than Paula Patton. This is why we can't expect others to understand black hues.

Lol I’m always bringing up spicy whites.

But what is exactly black or non white to Latinos?

It’s weird because they will say Stephen Curry is dark skin.

Eva Longoria used to say that she was called dark skin in her family.
I’m like what in the Spicy cac hell how sway?

Because of their small window of variation. Greek and Italian men are the "dark" in tall dark and handsome. If Eva is dark in her family she has a very white Latin family.

One of my friends is Dominican and about the same shade as me (the Drake/J. Cole) range and he told me he's the literal black sheep of his family.

You putting Ashanti and Paula patron in the same color bracket?

Ashanti is Megan goode's color


And no offense, I don't care what they'd be called in Africa, this thread seems to be geared toward the American view of color

Darkskin, Lightskin and Brownskin 101

Ashanti is closer to lightskin. She'd be inside the House in the 1800s

No she isn't. Being in the house was based on being the masters child and on a system of light and dark only, no room for a brown category. Women tend to be lighter than men so the threshold is lower. Ashanti is brown-skinned.

There isn't just one shade that falls in brownskinned/medium. They are both medium complexioned.
