Years of life experience
In short, it's not 100 pct a skin complexion issue as much as it is a facial features issue. If you're darkskinned and look like this
You're just as good as any lightskinned dude
Symmetrical face/hairline
His nose is a little bulbousey but the rest of his face is so on point that it doesnt matter
Now if you're darkskinned and look like this
You'll probably get clowned by girls all your life
The problem is that West Africa (where our ancestors all hail from) has A LOT more people who look like the 2nd guy I posted than the first. Coli members can scrounge the internet for exceptions all they want but here is Nigeria's national soccer team
Ghana
Ivory Coast
Now here's the Dominican Republic national soccer team
how many of those dudes you think getting clowned on? #3 in the back row and the player who is in the first row directly under #9 would have females drooling over them. The other guys in the picture wouldnt necessarily be heart throbs but they wouldnt get made fun of by girls and many could pull off the strength of their complexion alone
