Because light skin people are generally not insecure about having light skin. Whenever a dark skin model is given props it’s almost always with an unspoken subtext of “aww see dark is beautiful too” whereas light skin you almost have to downplay as if to say “her skin adds nothing, she’d be beautiful dark too”.

I think lighter skin men that date dark skin women usually do because:

1. They know light skin women (in their fam) and realize it isnt anything special.
2. They date dark skin women to validate their blackness. (A la Laurence Fishburne's character in School Daze)
3. They're fascinated/intrigued and attracted to dark skin and/or kinky hair.
4. They just love women in general.

There can be some personal self hate (see #2) but it isnt seen as a larger/societal issue because the general media sends messages that lighter skin is better.

Tho in black communities light skin dudes get roasted for being soft. In comparison, to darkskin issues it seems slight.

It's two things.

1. The assumption that all darkskin people think lightskin is better.

2. dikk policing.

You only ever see dark skin men get the self-hate label for dating lighter people and it's because of c00n rappers saying stupid shyt in their lyrics.

In reality, you don't see light skin women with dark skin men like that. It's usually the other way around.

Also in reality, nobody actually gives a shyt. People mostly talk about it online.

It's funny how you'll see black people online constantly telling Latinos "You're black too!"

But then the moment a rapper/athlete starts dating one "You hate your mother!!!"

Those who are said to have it 'worse' in any aspect of life usually get that luxury of people praising them without any backlash . The fuked up bit though is it's socially acceptable to be offensive to light skinned people and they're forbidden from dishing it back out :mjpls:
