"Light Girls" Documentary on OWN

[philmonroe]

If you dont care why comment in the thread, bruh?
You trying to act like shyt dont exist ain't going to make smell go away.
Youre really trying to make this about desirability? This aint just about fukking this shyt affects every aspect of life.

I don't care about people whining but since I watched the show and its a thread on it I'm going to comment. You don't like that you know what to do. Also some of these black dudes are the worst and wondering why they can't find different ones.

I truly don't care if it exist because that's just life but you do for some strange reason are you not getting the dudes you want? I'm not trying to act like it don't exist I just don't give a fukk if it does. If I don't get choose by some women cause of whatever reason fukk it. That has nothing to do with the smell of anything I just don't worry much about stuff I have no control over. Just like you can talk all day everyday about not dying but you know one day is going to be your last day so why worry to much about things,you can't control. You think all these talks going to make people stop doing what they doing?

It is about desirability. Let me guess some wacky study from the institute of wasted tax payer money said if your lighter/darker than this complexion this is how much money you stand to gain or lose. Let me also guess right next to that they have an ad for skin bleaching cream so dark skin people can get their money right? I'm darkskin albeit a male and I don't see the effect on my life. Maybe I'm not in your world so maybe that's where I need to be to see how this would affect every aspect of my life. This is mainly a chick issue (that's mainly about desirability) even though I can't get jiggly with them dudes sounding like fukking fools.

Wat? I just agreed with your point. Racism against Blacks in canada or europe is likely just as bad as racism against Blacks in America but since blacks in Europe and Canada voluntarily migrate to those countries they're not gonna be as outspoken about racism than AA's.
Since Africans in euro and CAN aren't as outspoken about racism and are more willing to assimilate to the culture (yes seek white approval), IR marriage isn't as taboo among those populations.

Ok i misinterpreted your point.

Seems to me Africans would have more beef with whites than AAs or Brazilians.
Whites are responsible for the destruction of African and single handedly ruined Africans image with their feed the children commercials and such. Africans excuse that but get mad at AAs for petty shyt lmfao

Yo, I just realized that the "you fukked up" cat is the one that directed this as well as the Dark Girls one....

Not like this breh....

I hope she is talking the bandage off so when can properly treat the wound.

I hope so, but I have my heavy doubts. People always talk that "this is going to start the healing process" stuff but if it's not tied to some sort of real goal or course of action....what exactly can be mended? We could end "colorism" but it would take a massive movement...that would have to include everything from control of our education, control of our own media, control of our news and journalism, propaganda, etc etc etc. We need this stuff *anyways*, for other things (I believe that our entire livelihood depends on us gaining at least some form of basic sovereignty from whites) , so I'm not like, turning my nose up to any sort of activism. I'm just saying that I think there is a massive gulf between putting something out for a movement...and putting something out because you know it's going to create fukkery and ratings and to ape the Bravo-network type of crowd that OWN seems to want.

What kind of proper "treatment" is this really going to offer?

There are documentaries that do lead to social activism. Blackfish damn near killed Seaworld's reputation. There's this great documentary by Errol Morris called The Thin Blue Line that actually lead to a guys conviction being overturned. This wouldn't appear to be in that vein though. And I admit, I'm not about to watch this....but it looks like it's activism the same way that Steve Harvey is an "activist"....not at all, just a dude that knows how to exploit that ratchet, bitter female market....

So youre going to excuse those idiot remarks those Black men made in this docmentary?
Should they not be held responsible?
And if Black men arent responsible for their own race, then who is?

There is no point in bothering with the men on here.Every time an issue is discussed (that detrimentally affects black women) they sweep it off to the side as "not important," or tell you to "get over it."

The issue is only a crisis when it's a black man that's the victim.

I agree but doing nothing is no longeran option.
We can critique these documentaries but theyre at least getting the conversation started.

What's the solution to colorism?

oh wait don't you like white boys with copycat swag.You can out of every colorism debate right now.

Theyre Black men though.
What do you want us to refer to then as?
We are holding then and the people who think like them resonsible.
Dovyou share their beliefs?
If not why are you getting personal offended?

Have nothing to add to the conversation but recycled lines and smileys bruhs.

This!
Ive seen this BS too many times.
No matter what the situation if a Darkskin&Lifhtskin women have an issue people are going to spin it that its because the darskin women was/is jealous.

Don't act like that doesn't happen. A lot of dark skin girls "Hate" on light skin girls. Most if not all the women are Redbones in my family and I saw it ALL THE TIME how dark skin girls would hate on them.

 

[kayslay]

What's the solution to colorism?

Colorism isnt the issue. Colorism is a symptom of the disease.
The issue isnt that some Black men "prefer" lightskin, its the fact that they HATE darkskin
