Darkskin black man gets shut down after bringing up his experiences with colorism

I haven't watched the entire video until now. Its clear they didn't have any respect for this dude. I find that this happens a lot with black women unfortunately. Many of them constantly say we need to express ourselves yet when we have a viewpoint that goes against their worldview, they hijack the narrative by mocking and ridiculing you into oblivion. That brother had NO chance to fully
explain his experience because he was IMMEDIATELY shut down. They were absurdly condescending to breh by calling him "father" smdh.
For these women its about having supreme control of the narrative. No space can be carved out that could potentially have them taking accountability or admitting that the problem may be more systemic.

Yeah once his very rational and reasonable point threatened their narrative that only Black women suffer the adverse impacts of colourism as adults (which is obv bullshyt—being a dark skin Black man is literally dangerous because police and often other men perceive you as a threat, but I’ll leave that because they was talking about relationships) then they immediately derailed the conversation, dismissed and invalidated Dane’s experiences and even started INSULTING him.
I would not have chosen the high road with them broads. I woulda got combative back. But they know it’s hard to do that because women have so much leverage in social discourse nowadays that groupthink has essentially made any critical analysis of women’s behaviour by non-women untouchable.
Women obviously have very challenging shyt to deal with because they’re women but a society that can’t engage in civil discourse about itself is one that will eventually eat itself from the inside.
GoAggieGo.
getting blitzed.
Yea, I just watched the clip and the brother didn’t stand a chance. They got offended and felt attacked, and weren’t going to let him get another word after that.
Hard dealing with women like that. Hell, you don’t want to be around women like that.

They do, this the Uk the amount of biracial chics where is astounding and the brehs usually snatch them up so that’s why those chics on the panel mad
One thing:
Dark skin men do benefit sexually... when they fit the stereotype
If you dark skin, but NOT swole/athletic looking, or tall, then it's VERY difficult to be considered handsome or cute by most people.
Have yall noticed that other groups of men can be handsome without having to be super jacked? With dark skin brehs, usually you are only a sex symbol nowadays if you tall, muscular, and hard looking.

Clearly she’s mad because she got passed over repeatedly..
You better start paying for some p*ssy B
Competitive suffering is the right way to put itThats what happens when you do competitive suffering within the black community. A black man will NEVER be allowed to express his own pain or trauma because too many will see it as coming at the expense of black women when in actuality the breh was right when he said the issue at hand is part of a LARGER issue that keeps both black men and black women at the bottom. That larger issue being white supremacy.
And she had the NERVE to say “thats all lives matter” when he was specifically talking about BLACK COLORISM in the BLACK COMMUNITY
Even funnier is other races have gotten hip and taken the competitive suffering blueprint from black folks and use it the same way it was used in op vid
Exactly he shouldn't have been non the show in the first place
Aint no damned if you do. Go hardBro, this right here. Women don't realize how much they incentivize men to be patriarchal/sexist with this shyt.
If you actually try to be respectful and take them seriously, they end up viewing you as being soft and afraid and impotent, because they expect you to exert your masculine presence.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
They view you as pathetic and incompetent for actually engaging with them and taking them seriously
Black men honestly are TOO reasonable and apologetic. Always wanna be fair and hear everybody out while nobody trying to hear shyt you got to say
If you don't nip red flags and aren't prepared to bounce/cut off at the first sign of disrespect you got a big flashing doormat sign on your forehead
Nikkas gotta get that being afraid of mama shyt out their system because that's all shyt like op vid is. Soon as aggressive matriarch gets activated nikkas FOLD everytime
When Snoop apologized to Gayle King because his mama told him to I really saw it for what it was
Bro in op vid put himself in that position even being there in the first place
You deal with red flags or they will deal with you

all i can say about colorism in my personal experience is that i didnt know or experience anything about the light skin or darkskin divide untill high school. and that was a long ass time too.
From kindergarten to grade 8, literally not a whisper, discussion or joke about skin color. my dad half black and lightskin and my mom darkskin so thats what black was to me. if you looked, black or said you were black, you were just 'black' to me. same thing with my white women looking aunty and cousins, they werent light skin or darkskin, they were just 'black'.
fast forward to highschool and nikkas and girls start talking the lightskin, darkskin vitrol, cracking jokes etc
shyt still kind of weird to me now that i think about it.....if your black....your black....its not that complicated.

This is why black men spaces are important. If we leave our issues up to anyone else, they won’t get addressed or they’ll get addressed when the space or media being provided decides they want to tell our story and address our issues.
