in the past lightskin was called creole. if you look at old creole culture you see that they wouldnt allow blacks into their society and would only keep them around as slaves and would never marry or be in relationships with blacks. my theory is that the white genes that were put into their bodies by white slave masters to make them into creoles (or, as we say today, light skin) were causing them to want to drive out all blackness within them as a natural instinct. and this instinct was the basis of creole culture. i think in a lot of light skin black people today the white genes that are still inside them make them still instinctively want to drive out their black genes. what im saying is i dont think that much has changed since the old creole days, a lot of lightskin people just put on a big front. when i see lightskin lesbians its hard for me not to see her as a creole girl, driving out her blackness just like in the old days, and using lesbianism as an excuse or convenient cover up, for the fact that the white genes that are inside her make her feel uncomfortable with blackness and therefore black men out of instinct. to me it just seems like lightskin studs, or lets call it what it really is, creole studs, date dark skin girls to make themselves feel better as a convenient way to flaunt their white genes. they are basically in a relationship with themselves, and use dark skin girls as a reflection to make themselves look better by comparison. but thats just a theory.
