So this is not considered lightskin?

 

[STAN JONES]

She's not lying. The boy son on Black-ish is light skinned, not her. Tracey Ellis Ross is light skinned, not her. She's just medium toned/caramel


She needs to worry about filling out. Pretty girl but she looks malnourished

Shes not always this dark though

She like my sister,lightskin in the winter and spring but gets darker in the summer and fades back to lightskin by the middle of the fall

 

[STAN JONES]

Wen did will Smith ever be considered light skinned ...

Who the fukk I'd this?

Nas' cousin. She has her own hit TV show that is a spin off of another hit TV show she was on called Black-ish.

 

[levitate]

Who's calling her light skinned though???

She's not.

And, why does she give a fukk anyway??

 

[spliz]

yes, complexion in relation to the black community

Yea. If u saw my youngest son u would think he was mixed but both me and his mom are black. He’s lighter than both of us. On some Steph Curry shyt. But looks exactly like both of us. People need to understand that black people come in all shades.

Black folks really need to stop this Only group that discusses their skin tones to this degree

So this is not considered lightskin?

A pic with blaring spotlights and camera flashes isnt accurate when it comes to black people’s complexion. Shorty is more light brown than lightskin.

First off, we're the only ones with varying skin tones to this disagree and there's an entire context of history of why it's a big deal in our culture. Come on man.
