Can we all agree that Lil Wayne started the "open colorism" trend in today's music?
- Thread starter Carlton Banks
- Start date
I was saying I don't think he deserves all the blame. But people like to use him as the scapegoat.
yeah, here's the quote from berg:
“I’m kinda racist … I don’t like dark butts …. You know how some women prefer light skin men or dark skin men. It’s rare that I do dark butts – that’s what I call dark-skinned women … I [don’t date women] darker than me. I love the pool test. If you can jump in the pool exactly like you are and you don’t come out looking better than you looked before going in the pool – then that’s not a good look. Any woman that uses brown gel to set down her baby hair is not poppin’!!!”
Showing lightskins love = colorism?
Does that make showing darker girls love, "reverse colorism"?
i have to agree with this. its like, who is allowed to like light skinned sistas in our community? liking them best is automatically grounds for being a colorist? thats crazy

There's no open colorism trend. You can easily argue that showing love to light skinned women isn't colorism as long as you aren't putting dark skinned women. "I like em long hair thick red bone" is not the same as "I bet that bytch look better red". I only recall Yung Berg and Kodak Black making comments like that. But if you really want quotes of entertainers talking about their love for light skinned women, we can take it 30 years back. Today, I got time, cuz.
