I’m isolating this but I agree with your post in a certain context.

In the real world you are right. In the context of an artificial dating show Ira just her insecurities.

She’s already make a choice to give up control and be judged by signing up. She just popped the balloon to maintain control based on a made up story. That’s the crux of the problem. That’s the real insecurity, imo. Just give the dude a chance.

She could have stank breath or a bad personality or just not gel. Any number of things before her skin tone.
Now this I totally agree with. She let her insecurities take control on the show.

You always duck my rebuttals

You didn't address any of what I said.

Everything you said is true, I don't deny colorism against bw and I already said bm act obtuse on the issue.

But you never acknowledge the points I bring up in response because it would force you to do some of the same reflection you want BM to do. At best you say "some bm experience colorism but it's not on the same level".



(Also... saying "black men are allowed to remember the dark skinned girls who didn't like then as kids" is wrong. No one allows brehs to open up about colorism. They get dismissed. Even on this forum they do, quit capping. Again, look at how Terrel Owen's got slandered. If you can bring up lil wayne's lyric, I can bring up TO)
TO being teased for his dark complexion was messed up. I’ve never ignored that Black men experience this stuff.

The Bushes
One breath women declare nothing they do is for men's attention. Another they'll blame their insecurities on perceived male desirability. Colourism in the dating market is a copout, as attractive dark skin women get picked. Beauty is a combination of aesthetic, body shape, facial features i.e Anna Diop, Aduta Aketch, Naomi Campbell, Lupita. The issue's that women compete for the best & average women find it hard to accept their MIDness. This exacerbates the chip on their shoulder and sips into attitude.

The Truth
I was wondering when someone was going to comment on this.

The men have been way more respectful and acepting when it came to skin tone. The women on this show have been mad disrespectful about it. Especially to light skin nikkas in the last 2 or 3 espidoes.

Shyt is weird, and advertises disfunction to all the other groups that watch it.
EXACTLY

Then got the nerve to be just as hypocritical about basic ass shyt like this.


Bruh wasn’t even gonna X her out… I wasn’t even gonna X her out… the MTR nikka didn’t even X her out and he really be hard on hoes.



Real, ordinary black men do not think like this yet women switched this all on us :dahell:

All of this.
All of this.



Someone claimed I disappear when colorism is discussed, but that’s far from true.

Black women on this board have discussed these exact points for years on here. Dudes don’t want to listen, or say that we are holding on to experiences from HS and need to get over it.
But dudes are allowed to remember the dark skinned girls who didn’t like them when they were kids, and that’s a perfectly good reason to decide to PAWG or chase Latinas when they are grown. :sas2: :martin:

That’s why I don’t bother with the disingenuous conversations.


I’ve had HBCU educated negros tell me to my face they don’t like “nappy” hair
(texturism).
Which is why when many of our men say they prefer natural hair and hate weaves, the natural hair many are referring to is hair with a looser texture; finding Black women with softer, looser hair. Let the latinas tell you what Black men they date say about Black women's hair, or how it’s so nice they can let their hair get wet and it’s still straight/curly, etc.

I already mentioned in another thread yesterday how because of my facial features (nose), dudes ask me if I’m mixed with something. When I would blow my hair out or rock a curly weave Hispanic ppl would walk up to me speaking Spanish thinking I was Dominican or something, and brehs who thought I wasn’t “just Black” or “regular”’would be legit disappointed when I confirmed I was Black and Black.

I mentioned on here before how when I was younger, dudes would literally hold my hand, look down, run their fingers across my hand and VERBALLY CONFIRM that they could see the veins in my hand. Why would they do that? Because I’m brown skinned. I’m dark to them, but not so dark that they can’t see through my skin.

I mentioned the “Blue Vein Society” cuz that shyt is textbook colorism from OUR history and OUR people.



This sis breaks it down well⬇️⬇️





And it’s not that I don’t acknowledge that Black men can experience colorism from women in our community. Some of us can be just as ignorant and hurtful about certain things, but I won’t say it is on the same scale.

As it was noted in this thread, even this site is proof. The way y’all categorize/describe women strictly based on skin color or ethnicity. DS women thread, LS women thread, Caribbean women thread, PAWG thread, Latina threads, etc. Can’t just be “drop pics of beautiful women” thread.

The way y’all categorize women/looks is completely different, and the difference is always the fact that women are judged initially/primarily on looks/attractiveness, and when dark skin is considered less attractive in general, you will always be considered less than LS women simply because of your skin. You have to be an above average darker skinned woman to balance the playing field.

As men, y’all aren’t primarily judged on looks. Being fit, having your life in order, hell just knowing how to talk to women will get you in there because women/society doesn’t judge y’all the same way.

At the end of the day, men generally do the approaching, y’all are hunters. The women who usually get the most attention are LS.

And the LS baby with “good hair” is a moot point. Part of the desire for a LS or different race partner for both sexes is to reduce their features in their next generation.
Damaged Black women may be more VOCAL about it, but the damaged men running to Becky or Maria have the exact same desire.


@KidJSoul don’t do it; I’ve never ducked a colorism discussion.
On the Coli you’re getting the Male perspective.

No one is denying any thing that you said but even if @Chelsea Bridge is completely right that’s like a Black Man failing to try because of white supremacy. You could acknowledge that white supremacy exists while also demanding that Black Men play past it.

Doing the “woe is me”. dance is not gonna solve your problems.

The Coli is almost too stupid for me and I’m a Man. The fact that there’s any female posters on this board proves that even a woman who claims that they but don’t need a Man for basic survival are extremely interested in Male input and attention.

Again Colorism affects Black Men and Black women. The difference is on this board you’re gonna get at least a few brehs who are gonna push back against the Red Pill “I hate Black women”. party line.

You be a Man on LSA ( which like the Coli is not exclusively gendered) and point out female colorism or the fact that almost never does a Black women prosper materially if they leave a relationship with a cac and you’d be immediately shut down.


Say what you want about the Coli and the ridiculous Pawg threads the Smash or Pass threads. shyt a nursing student died and someone posted nice titties The lady just died a violent death for no reason and that’s what was on his mind.

I didn’t even bother roasting him. But even with all that you can push against the hive minded group think. Pointing out the redditor with Pan African in her handle praising a Fly ass Black chick who flew all the way to Germany to see a white aussie dude then suggest that she try to maintain a relationship with said cac when the dude lives in Australia is wild work.

Not one chick said anything remotely negative or question why she’d flew out there because of natural hive mind thinking. They actually occasionally have a Black Love thread so it’s not that all of the Black women are all pro Divestment but the issue is the Group think and never calling out a woman on bullshyt unless you’re personally Mad at her.

You see shyt diferently than the majority but you’re allowed to express your opinion without nikkas attempting to run you off the board.

I low key value you’re opinion and like the fact that you are willing to engage. Most of the few brehettes on her avoid these kinds of threads completely because like they would on the women’s board they’re low key scared to go against popular opinion.

Mmhmm the mere fact he could get that off and NO ONE had any real pushback against him said it all.

He could get that off not just because of his fame, but because he wasn’t saying anything that many men thought was wrong
C’mon you saying he got zero heat for that line?

No his ignant ass didn’t get cancelled ( mainly because women liked him) but he was criticized for his c00nery.

OF COURSE attractive dark skinned women get picked LOL
That’s one of the benefits of being a pretty woman; your “look” will be appreciated by various people. If not your own, someone from another group.

Colorism is DEF a thing, but it’s most obvious when we are talking about average/less attractive women.

The average LS woman has a completely different experience in our culture than the average DS woman, that’s the point.


Every community has its own beauty standard. For us, it’s light skin. And average in the face LS woman will still regarded differently than girls who are darker than her 🤷🏾‍♀️ And brehs can deny it all they want, but like I’ve said before, sit and have a conversation with DS HS girls or girls in undergrad and listen to what they say. You have HS and college girl who have discussed this ad naseum on social media.

For whites, for example, it’s blond hair/blue eyes. Chick could be hit in the face, but as long as she has natural blond hair and blue eyes she’s beautiful to their community. Those are the features they prefer.

That doesn’t mean brunettes, red heads, women with brown or green eyes, etc don’t have guys who are attracted to them; it’s just acknowledging that many of their men prefer blond hair and blue eyes. To the point white women dye their hair blond and wear colored contacts (who you think colored contacts were invented for? White women who wanted to fool white men and pretend to have blue eyes 🤣🤣).
Now when someone reduces Colorism to an Ugly girl argument you’d say that’s wrong but you’re admitting that average looking Dark skinned women get overlooked for average lghtskinned women.

You just explained why Black women risk their lives and spend thousands of dollars for BBL's

Because a fat ass is a beauty marker for Men. There’s been a ton of average in the face girls Darkskinned and not who have had their bodies right and got over on the her body shape.

Just another reason to hate white people. We didn’t introduce colorism to our communities. Those clowns set what they believe is the standard of beauty, got black people trying to imitate the shyt and make dark skinned people feel less than because of their skin tone.
Yep hard to make that Play if there’s no lightskinned people to begin with.

Some of it is an opposites attract or exotical factor. I was living in Kenya and in a hoe club with some white dudes and I saw one obviously mixed girl ( she had the Black woman’s physique) and the other one looked Polynesian.

I went right over to holla turns out their were Kenyan and the hoein’. I wasn’t sure if the club was an international club or a hoe club and I’m still not sure. But I kicked it to a Ugandan and assumed that since she was there she was the hoein’ without even confirming. (Im basing this on the fact that she just was in Nairobi just chilling. Africa is poor and they don’t really want people from other countries just chilling in their country like that)

But my point is I was surprised at myself that I was feeling the mixed chicks like that but I hadn’t seen mixed chicks in years at that point.

Getting dikk is not the goal as a woman lmao
Any woman can find a man who will bend her over. Getting a relationship, being approached because a man finds you attractive and wants to get to know you, not because he sees you as casual sex (which of course is also determined by how you conduct yourself as a woman) is what women want
again this is why women care. Because the fact that nikkas that she don’t want are feeling her is of no importance she’s concerned about the opinion of athletes which is why we always get the Draft Day crashouts that brehs going to the league are hugged up on cacettes.

Yet this is the context this shyt is ever discussed in. I'm actually curious how many times colorism has been discussed in a context other than access to black dikk on TLR, let alone this thread. I want a breakdown since I'm betting it is near zero in this thread.
You don’t hear of Black women talk about how colorism affects their job prospects although there was a case where a Black woman sued a company because she felt that her Black Male boss was being Colorist to her.

There was a book that a cacette co wrote about that case no one ever mentions it.

These men are going to sit up in this thread and lie like they love to do and pretend like colourism doesn't exist.

They literally use to tell each other they were acting "light skinned" as a way to insult each other.

That's exactly why I don’t take them seriously. They only care about an issue when it affects them.

They were literally debating if women were happier as domestic slaves a few days ago. That should tell you what time they are on.
I didn’t see the movie The Help but I don’t think it was about mircoagressions they got from cac bosses.

It defenitely talked about implied abuse that said women received from a Black spouse though.

The casual domestic help line was called The Harlem Slave market.

Despite all of that the only time there was a strike for pay was washer woman strike in 1881 which they won.
I don’t know why the same energy wasn’t applied to all domestic work
