What the hell is a Quarter white?

I think women and men just have a think with being thought of as exotic.......Mixture is what they think makes them unique and exotic, so that's why they embrace that.......In other words "There's not many like me".......That type of thing.

There's no one on the planet with our hair texture and complexion. We as unique and "exotic" as it gets.

I see where you're coming from but trust and believe it's people seeing value in being light, mixed, etc and not being just black.

 

[Yup]

What the hell is a Quarter white?

Her mom is biracial which would make her a quarter.

Honestly I don't find her comments that inflammatory. She didn't diss darskinned people...shee just said what she is or what her man is and what features she may expect with her child. I sense the real reason...y'all have a problem with it is because she acknowledges the her whiteness within her.
people think they can forcr biracials/mixed to identify blacks exclusively because they want to cavort with them without guilt.

I see nothing wrong with what she said...it is just not pc but then again I don't think being called darskinned(which I am) is a diss like many people. Thankfully there are still black people who have no hangups

@Versa perceived value of something only exist according to what society defines as valuable. I can't blame someone who knows that something that she/he has will give her a leg up.

My mother is lighter than me (I am darskinned)...I have been sheltered from the topic/subject of complexion from a large part of my life.

Just recently my mom has opened up to me about it and said that I need to dress up more if I want to get male attention because there are many lightskinned/mixed girls who will get attention before I do if I don't take greater care of my appearance. I was shocked that my mother said this but after observation I realized she is not trying to diss me she is preparing me for the society that we live in.

Pretty much how I feel about it. Everything was cool before the comments were shown. If mixed race people
aren't accepted by their fully-whatever counterparts, why can't they look at things from a mixed perspective? She didn't down
black people but she knows what her baby is likely to look like, and it damn sure ain't midnight. The baby will be what...60%+ black?

If there is anyone to blame, it is Kirk for making a mixed-race child, because anyone mixed race has to walk a line in which
people call them "confused" at best and "brainwashed" at worst. Easy for non-mixed people to say, she just trying to live.

So do you think there is anything wrong with black men or women wanting to get with non-black partners to have light-skinned children with "good hair" if they know those children will be perceived as more beautiful and non-threatening, thus have a leg up in society?

She had on a Dallas Cowboys shirt, so bushes.

 

[Yup]

There is mo inherent moral code here. I can say that its wrong to think that way...but when you look around and see that you get rewarded for it me telling you that its wrong isn't going to change what you are going to do.
That's why I don't argue with @Chris.B
Essentially what I am saying is that colorism/shadeism is the one thing that people can justify without any.moral code. Whether it is through preference or other...
I have never argued with a guy that said he preferred lightskinned women I have always argued against dissing darskinned women or black women in general.

Gosh damn your mom is on one.

Yes there is something very, very wrong with this and blacks who have this train of thought should be excommunicated.

Edit: that was harsh. Attempt to educate them on their defeatist ways and lack of pride for who they are first, and then if they're still not hearing it

 

[Yup]

BuT to answer your question simply...it is wrong to pass on your own insecurities to your children and if perchance yoir child does nit end up looking how you expected them to then yes they will end up damaged for it.

 

[Yup]

Gosh damn your mom is on one.

My mom is abruptly honest and loving woman. Don't judge her based on that post I made...it is not her belief system but it is hat she was preparing me for. I don't resent her for it...I love her even more for it. There needs to be more honesty on the reality of shadeism amongst blacks...its the elephant in the room. She has raised without racial/shade hangups...I consider black skinned from all shades truly beautiful wthout hypocrisy. I have never put mixed/light people on a pedestal...believe me she raised me right.

Well of course you love your mother. Doesn't mean she isn't a defeatist who sees her daughter as less because she happens to be darker than she is. Instead of telling you to embrace your shade and beauty and to simply appreciate those who appreciate you, she's saying you aren't good as enough as is and need to go the extra mile to compete with women lighter than you. That's awful.

Perhaps I didnt communicate it properly...she was warning that shadeism and to take greater care of my appearance (naturally a tomboy). She's always taught me to be proud of my skin colour...which she didn't need to because I love darskinned complexions. It's great to tell your child to embrace themselves but my mom is of the old school and she belives in telling her child things even it makes me uncomfortable but trust me she was not malicious about it. It's better to prwpare your child and let him/her know than have the world teach him/her.
Fact is...shadeism is prevalent and at some point I will come across it. There's nothing a guy can say about my skin colour or my features that will make me feel any type of way.
