You're calling me white but you're the one denying colorism exists even though statistical evidence and anecdotal evidence (even shown in this very thread) tell a different story?!?!!? I don't give a shyt what you and your loser ass friends talk about. Stop marginalizing all black dudes like we all have the exact same conversations using the same exact words, moron. Studies have shown colorism exists in the work place and in the court system. How fukking stupid are you to question my blackness when I've seen dark skinned black dudes with my own eyes get teased because of their skin complexion. A poster right above your dumbass comment commented about his own struggles with his skin complexion. Again, I don't know about your or your dumbass friends, but I know what I've seen with my own fukking eyes. Get the fukk out of my thread if you're going to leave stupid ass comments like that!!

Hey white boy,

Before I go any further with your dumbazz, we gotta prove who is really black by taking a picture.Both of us will post a photo of a arm or hand with a paper dated and the word COLI in background.......

Responding.

I don't deny colorism exists, I just believe that there are just as many color struck dark men as there are color struck light men. For example, in order to fit in with most of their relatives,who are dark, many light men wish they were dark themselves. Does that mean all feel that way? No. The same can be said for dark men.

You seem to have a bias instead of looking at this from an objective viewpoint. Each group has their extreme self haters, but they don't represent the majority.However, since you're white, you won't understand that.Now take up my challenge you p*ssy.

The vast majority of sub saharan people have dark skin with broad features. The people you posted above, I wonder how much their appearance has to do with the colonization and the rape of their ancestors. I'm sure, just like with African Americans, thats why some Africans are light complected.



No your statement was amusing.

Never. I spent my developmental years in a afrocentric private school. It was like Black history day once a month. Learn about african nations, black inventors, positive black shyt, etc. I was in so deep I didnt realize there was different kinds of Black people, I thought we were all the same :yeshrug: I didnt realize the damage white racism did to America until I hit High School.

As a kid it took a while for me to understand why someone would make fun of my skin tone, that bs had no effect on me. Im proud to be a midnight boy :wow:


Where ?

im in the middle with the island caramel skin tone

never cared either way
The perfect complexion is that gold to caramel and ages the best. Pharell, Will Smith, Eve, Iman, Stacy Dash, Ed Bradley (rip) etc... Can always choose a side. I like balance and don't care for things too extreme on both sides of the spectrum.

Usually when we talk about the light skinned/dark skinned debate its focused around black women, which is understandable. Even when black dudes are incorporated into the conversation its only in a joking manner, as evidenced by the countless dark-skinned/light skinned memes all over social media. But a question for dark skinned dudes: were you ever jealous of lighter complected black dudes? Did you ever have any type of real hatred? How common do you think this issue is with black males? Hopefully this opens up a serious dialog that usually never happens between black males.

In junior high school I was. After 8th grade I never gave a fukk.

Went to a 90 percent black high school in the late 90s never noticed this dynamic other than this one dark dude who they called midnight and occasionally made fun of the fact that he couldn't be seen in pictures but he was still well beloved

The lighter skinned guys weren't the alpha types anyway and there were enough Brown Latin people for none of that skin color crap to matter

Jealous is the wrong word and is accusatory. But there's an interesting discussion to be had about male psyche on colourism. And truth be told most on here won't keep it real. I wanna stay on topic but i'll share the real.

All types of teasing in young years can cause insecurities. Whether it's short, dark or ugly. It's not just jokes, it feeds into the psyche of young people. In relation, to skin colour the way some kids talk is exactly how a White Supremacist would talk. "Look how black you are, i'll slap the black off you. With your nappy head! And big ass rubber lips" etc. Then at the same time lightskin dudes are more fawned over at a young age.

As time goes on - this goes away to some extent. But some animosity sometimes remains. The whole lightskin / darkskin jokes in the majority are corny and stem from insecurities. Light skin is generally preferred in the black community (let's be real) and light skin dudes still eat very well. That is masculine in itself. The way to get at them is to diminish their masculinity in other ways. Strength usually. Sometimes in other masculine ways like sports or music - which are usually dominated by darker blacks but in recent times lightskin bros have come to run.

I was never teased about my complexion but this is just how it is.

A similar thing happens in the UK between Carribbean blacks and African blacks. The Caribbean blacks ribbed on the Af blacks. Being African wasn't cool and you would get ribbed on. Again, all the negative stereotypes of Africa and Africans of white supremacists comes out the mouths of kids. "ABC - African Booty something, do you speak clicking language? AIDs" etc. for some reason we got the slave jokes. I'm African and it made a brother feel some type of way. Of course the jokes flow back "this is why we sold you for a mirror, lazy etc." but the same thing applies As time goes by being African becomes more cool and the jokes flow back even harder like the darkskin lightskin stuff. I think part of the reason Africans go so hard with the Carib jokes now is in part because of the teasing back in the day.
