One time when I was playing Fallout 4 I got really mad and started that bytch completely over on nightmare mode because grown up Shaun came out looking like Albert Einstein with a tan instead of George Washington Carver like I originally planned. I had to go back and make his mom look like Halle Berry in "Why do fools fall in love" and I made his dad look like Aldis Hodge.

Games still got a long way to go.

shyt used to piss me off having only 3 faces, 3 shades and 3 hairstyles to choose from. Couldn't' even switch hair because it made you look Hispanic, or Indian.

Or be a nikka with a Leo DiCaprio cut

Listen, my games stayed crashing because I had to download mods "Soul Survivor" just to get some realistic black hair styles. Bethesda gets on my nerves with that shyt.

The lies on here have me weak

I can also genuinely say I've never engaged in "light skinned people act like this, dark skinned people act like that" shyt publicly. It's just worthless convo to me that I never wanted a part of. Yea we've all seen the pretty light skinned chick (or handsome light skinned dude, pause) in HS who is perceived to act a certain way. But I've seen the pretty dark skinned chick (or handsome dark skinned dude, pause) act entitled too.

As a kid I remember feeling a certain way about my color, but by the time I got to HS? Or better yet in college when you really see who is running shyt? Couldn't care less. At that point it was about getting in shape, going to the gym, running, anything to look like the nikkas who were fukking all the chicks (regardless of whether the dude was light or dark). It was the in-shape dudes. Hell I'm tall but didn't really notice shorter guys struggling. A lot of football players are short, 5'10 dudes who were going to town on the hoes.

 

[africngiant]

yes they have

i was a walking case study. now it’s cool to be who i am

 

[The Gentleman]

Nah. What y’all miss is that women do not generally approach men. So some of us have men who APPROACH and say derogatory things about our skin color.

Like, a dude once told me that I was really pretty but we couldn’t get serious because his family expected him to marry someone light skinned. So why get my number and take me out?
Why not just stick to the LS girls? Because in his mind I was low hanging fruit and would be easy.

Normal variations in attraction aint the problem tho.
Jackasses literally publically and loudly saying nasty, degrading shyt to people that look like themselves is weird, and a marker of cringeworthy self-hate.

We need to dig a bit deeper into the psyches of blk men and women who engage in this type of behavior.

Hey, black people internalized racism. Don’t come out here and make it like only black men have this problem. Black people don’t live in a vacuum. Society is a whole prefers a white phenotype. Many black woman tend have a preference for lighter skin men too. And that goes for women of races.
That is becoming the most attractive version of yourself whatever your complexion.

 

[The Gentleman]

Yes، not personally a fan of super dark-skinned women.

Some might not admit to itt, but a quick look at threads like post a pic of a chick you would feel morally obligated to nut raw in will show you otherwise.

And there’s nothing wrong with this picture is what it is.

 

[The Gentleman]

I don't have anything against dark skin people and never have. I tend to find light skin more attractive on average, but I'm light myself + it's not some strict rule or whatever

People are gonna make you a villain for audibly saying this.

 

[The Gentleman]

Folks don't take into account books opposite attract

Alot of light skin woman like dark men and no one calls them colorist


So naturally alot of dark men like light

It happens


I say most dating isn't based on colorism

Opposites don’t always attract. That’s so colloquial bullshyt.

Frat boys like sorority girls.

Gangsters usually have their molls.

It’s not uncommon for actors to be married to actresses.

More often than not it’s a church girl that will be the minister’s wife not the atheist.

More often and that this is the way of the world.

Once you dig into white supremacy, you'll understand the psyches of some of these "Black people".

a lot of negropeans running rampant out here and believe that by downplaying who they are, it makes them better or seen as better in the eyes of white folk. In reality, it just shows the sickness that afflicts them and how they've crumbled to white supremacy. I get it, not everyone can be strong willed or strong minded. Some of us are weaker than others, but those types you discussed, are the weakest and most afflicted. It is why they fixate on the superficial such as skin tone. Their thoughts are preprogrammed to them and they don't really have any thoughts of their own.


People who fixate on skin colors are so focused on the carnal they have no real identity worth anyone's time or effort to learn more about. We know them by learning more about white supremacy, not them. White supremacy is their identity.

 

[Hazel Brown]

She so bad

Exactly. But even she experienced colourism which shows the backwardness of it. How can someone that fine experience racism from her own race?
