Heightism is way worse than colorism

[The Fire]

He's talking about getting job opportunities not p*ssy. In that regard he is right. Most job interviewers will not take a man under 5'8" seriously and would hire a 6'0" guy over them. Just stating facts.

Interesting thread I'm dark and short.

Throughout life, folks have pointed out my height more than my skin color.

Not really in a negative way though. For some reason, people like to tell me I'm short like I ain't know already. And women I smash try to crack jokes on it but it's mainly projection since they short themselves. And they probably wanna see how I react to it.

its not a big difference

if a 5' 10 perseon stands next to a person thats 6ft 1, you would barely notice a height difference. Especially if both people are moving

Do you notice a difference between 5' and 5'3?
5'7 and 5'10

I wonder if cacs and others use this heightism bullshyt to shut up black folks about racism, would you you heightism brehs fall back or take their side?

This is some stupid ass logic cause its black people mainly speaking on this issue on here regardless of what y'all think and two who the fukk really talking about this shyt offline? Come on y'all use some of the most fugazy logic ever.

[Trapperman Dave]

I've said it before, I'm 6'3 and life isn't any easier (at least explicitly) for me.

I don't get p*ssy thrown at me because of my height. (Lol I wish)

My flexibility is shyt. I hate sweeping with a broom or shoveling snow.

Have to be conscious of hitting my head.

Have to deal with "why ain't you play ball?" or other variations.

I'm sure there are subconscious benefits but I haven't been able to take advantage of them.

Be 6'3 and don't get mills playing b ball brehs

Yep, people will talk shyt and make fun of your height before they will your skin color

The fact that you can openly make fun of short people and no one says a word and in fact the same darkskinned people will join in on the cracking jokes while society will shame you for making fun of darkskinned people prove this point.

But these posters wanna act like it's not true

Same with colorism.
"...Hidden within the process of racial discrimination is the often overlooked issue of colorism. Colorism is the process of discrimination that privileges light-skinned people of color over their dark-skinned counterparts (Hunter 2005). Lighter-skinned people of color enjoy substantial privileges that are still unattainable to their darker-skinned brothers and sisters. In fact, light-skinned people earn more money, complete more years of schooling, live in better neighborhoods, and marry higher-status people than darker-skinned people of the same race or ethnicity (Arce et al. 1987; Espino and Franz 2002; Hill 2000; Hughes and Hertel 1990; Hunter 1998, 2005; Keith and Herring 1991; Murguia and Telles 1996; Rondilla and Spickard 2007).

Im probably the shortest nikka on the site and I don't even care about it anymore. It is what it is at the end of the day.

You won't notice a real difference between those heights

Around 5+ inch difference is when you start noticing height differences

Depends on the build of the individuals as well
