Don't worry, just give it time and they'll figure out a way to blame black men for it. That train is never late.
Black men perpetuate the stereotype, as do black women and western media. Lighter skin is viewed more favorably by many people. We're seeing an impressive surge of black women getting good roles on television lately, but most of them are light skinned. You have some like Viola Davis that buck the trend obviously, but overall the roles are dominated by lighter women.
I've seen black men fall over themselves to crown the most homely, unimpressive light skin chicks simply due to color. I've seen darker girls get laughed at for being dark, and you can just see their heart harden as they get clowned. shyt is sad and it perpetuates self hate.
I'm thankful I was raised by someone who grew up during the 60s when this color bullshyt wasn't particularly relevant. If you were black, you were a ****** to the white man. That's how it was, and unless you could completely pass as white you weren't caught up in who was light and who was dark. Today we're freer than we were in the 60s yet the mental chains are worse IMO, and this color nonsense is one of the areas where we're worse off.
I love women, period, regardless of color. And in terms of black women I've seen beautiful light skinned women. I've seen beautiful dark women.
