"Light Girls" Documentary on OWN

[christinasade]

You making black dudes out to be these weak ass victims under the thumb black women. Our society is patriarchal and it's been this way for more than 50 years. No one is saying black women aren't accountable as well but you act as if black men are some weak ass powerless saps who can't do anything.

You equate the fact that black women has the "opportunity"( i use this lightly) to lay with a white man has some twisted power in it when it's absolutely DOES NOT.

Women couldn't even vote or run for office back when your great grand parents were alive. What makes you think BW are given any power above black men.

Oh but I thought whites didn't like black women like that? I mean according to thecol

Naw ,because they call some chick ugly and look exactly like the chick.

Broad features are not ugly.

It's not just colorism, it also features aswell. Some on this site said they don't like lupita cause of her hair. She doesn't have long flowing hair.

Now we have to like a bald headed chick just because y'all nikkas self esteem is on fumes. Its nice looking women with low cuts but she ain't one of them. Damn shame cause you ask women to talk to certain black dudes its a problem and why do they have to "settle" but we have to settle or else smdh

I'd say 99% of the time...a black woman's physical attractiveness is measured in her ass/hip ratio for black men.

The complexion issue is just an easy scapegoat.

Unattractive dark skin women make it about complexion.

Exactly, mofos be like "oh she's too dark so she's ugly" they look just like her, so are saying you

Are ugly then.

This but some woman act like they can't be turned down like any other person. fukking cry babies and when somebody does its only because of their complexion smdh.

 

[Yup]

Nah. I understand not all men will find lupita attractive. But we have to do away with using skin colour to diminish one another and create these social hierarchies.

 

[christinasade]

Every black man has been deemed "color struck" if they happen to not find a particular dark skinned woman attractive.

The only solution that will satisfy black women is, if every black man finds every black woman attractive.

Otherwise, there is nothing to stop black women from thinking that being unattractive is related to their complexion. Let them tell it, color/complexion preferences are automatically loaded into psychy of all black males.

Individual preferences and experiences with that particular woman be damned.

Blah blah blah blah blah


Denial.

Exactly, mofos be like "oh she's too dark so she's ugly" they look just like her, so are saying you

Are ugly then.

It don't work that way most times but y'all keep grasping at whatever straws to survive. Dark skin alone don't make somebody ugly just like light skin don't make you attractive but again y'all keep believing whatever you need to keep afloat for the dudes that's not choosing you.

 

[Elle Driver]

so you'd be Ok and fine with this women leading black women in Americakka to Pro blackness and Black pride for women ?

Why not? Like I said, if light skin aint put on a pedestal I really don't care.

The solution would be for black men to get off their ass and build but noooo.

What I wanna know how you mothafukkas think y'all are in a position to talk down to us.

hey, i agree, black men have to build, there's no other option. but yall give little incentive when your attitude is out of wack, you have multiple children by a nikka in jail, and you treat productive builders like lepers to be avoided. but how will that solve colorism? not even saying you're wrong, just want to hear your take

Da fukk? Is it that hard to stop being a colorist????

nikka we know that colorism is wrong, stop participating in it simple.

If we see somebody else doing doing it, call their asses out.

Each one teach one.

most black girls choose the white doll before they are even 5 yrs old, so you tell me. is it that hard to stop being colorist? is it that hard to stop preferring light skinned over darker skin? i mean, once again, you're the group thats out here in wacky blue contacts, blonde european weave, and spending billions yearly bleaching your skin. a lot of this comes off like severe projection.

if someone is more attracted to light skinned girls over dark skinned, me waggin my finger, saying "thats wrong," wont change anything.

and this skin color argument is invalid. the preference has more to do with features over skin complexion. who would most guys choose:

or

now if your argument still stands at nikkas will run to anything light, you're full of shyt

 

[philmonroe]

Nah. I understand not all men will find lupita attractive. But we have to do away with using skin colour to diminish one another and create these social hierarchies.

I agree women mainly need to stop doing it. If a chick dates nothing but light skin dudes guys don't really complain from what I see. Maybe on here but somebody famous like Rhianna (that most of us know) do women say she should date dark skin men and she hate herself? If I'm wrong I'll take it but I don't see it not that I'm looking for it either. Just saying just like its things y'all don't like about us its just as many things dudes have problems or see as funny style too.

 

[christinasade]

black women have been going on tv discussing why "nikkas aint shyt" for decades. talk shows and news networks have given BW a platform to speak out against BM. til this day, i've yet to come across a BM thats been given a platform to respond to criticisms made by BW. right now, you have black female authors given a platform in time mag, huffpost, etc, to speak out against BM. still havent seen a black male equivalent, even though @bcrusaderw tried her best to find one.

but to say we're just using white supremacist talking points is dismissive. nikkas have BEEN had legitimate complaints that they never verbalized to BW. youtube gave dudes an anonymous platform to respond without repercussion, and admittedly, some of us took it too far. but to run with the power argument as if most BW concerned themselves with power as they laid up with some unemployed bum is bullocks

Oh the old "well a black women went on TV like 20+ YEARS AGOOOO and talked about black issues so that gives us as black men the right to shyt on black women now"

Never mind that those women and men mind you were paid actors LMAO

But many black peoples hair grows up and out not down and flowy.
Her having a fade does not make her ugly in my opinion, That is a little petty that it only comes down to hair making someone unattractive. Her face is classical attractive nikka's use that fade mess as a cop out.

Yet Amber Rose is to touted as this goddess on this site

 

[marcuz]

Give me a a legit complaint youtube video about black women that doesn't involve pitting them against non-blacks and using debasing them as women.

i'm not about to search for anything on youtube but there's plenty out there.

and its not pitting when black women are collectively asking "why are you choosing other over us"

 

[marcuz]

Oh the old "well a black women went on TV like 20+ YEARS AGOOOO and talked about black issues so that gives us as black men the right to shyt on black women now"

20 yrs ago, how about last year, how about news articles published last week.

all i'm saying is yall helped create the beast that you cant shut up now
