"Light Girls" Documentary on OWN

[Back4The1stTime]

its strange how everyone starts at this false starting ground where only the men have colorism issues. growing up as a dark skinned black male in the 80s and 90s, black females were constantly shunning dark skin in favor of light skin. before black females learned to filter their self hating thoughts, they were completely honest about preferring green/hazel eyes, curly "good hair", lighter skin. now as adults, only the men have a color preference and black women are mere victims. how did that happen?

who's raising all of these black males to frown upon darker skin? where are they learning it? or are we just inherently full of self hate from birth?

Right, like everybody just conveniently skip over the black women that want their children to have "good hair, green eyes". Just go to any of the pro white men sites ran by black women and you will see it for yourself. They will praise light an European features but then shun the black men that have the same mentality they do. It's quite comical if you ask me

 

[Yup]

Like I said before only when people get emotional they start getting stupid and not using the good fukking sense they have. It wasn't meant to be taking literal and I honestly shouldn't have to tell you that but the point still stands. A person can't diss somebody on something they have less of than the person they're dissing period.

It's not a diss or a dig when the poster said black women have even less power. A dig would imply blacl women surpassed black men by a mile which ia not what the poster said.

 

[Raptor]

Let's not forget the 70s and 80s. Light skin men had the buffet while dark skin men had the scraps for 2 decades. Karmas a bytch Lets not pretend black women weren't colourist themselves. This is just a phase

 

[philmonroe]

I have no clue and I never said black women have. I said you either get together and try to go after the ones with the real power or you go your separate ways and try to accomplish your goals individually.



Its not a diss its reality.

Another stupid one the point is the reality is you have even less "power" than us so FOH trying to use that as some sort of diss, spite, shade or anything else negative.

I'ma go ahead and keep it 100

The problem is everyone in America wants to do what they see the white man do, but us as minorities can't do that collectively. We are a solid 11 percent of the USA...think about that. Feminist got the black womans head screwed all the way up, I can't even count how many times I've seen in the last month or two since I really really been on the site heavy that I see sisters at brothers that want a woman that is..... hold up I'ma say it.....


God fearing, or one that doesn't mind staying home with the kids and cooking and cleaning. The slight mention of that infuriates black women and I cannot understand why, its not like the brother wants you to stay locked down in a cage... but the slight mention of a woman doing womanly things is insulting to black women.



Money got the black mans head screwed up

My brothers out here doing just as bad too, We lie to or black women over and over and over again, dont get me wrong white boys do too. But they aren't in the predicament we are in. We chase he money like the white man, but can't compete with there numbers, so we wild out to show off. I hear alot of black women and men always wondering why they see rich black people with other races.... Its because there aren't many of us up there. Most of you don't trust your mate with you bank account, how you expect a rich black woman or man to take any old black person because they are rich or expect them to come looking in your local cities and towns to date? They gonna date what they are around the most... which is probably white people. That really applies to anything.



light skin vs dark skin


Falls into two categories


America

The rest of world

Sadly its only about 11 percent of America that even cares about it.

BlAck women know that they are tied to black men. It's black men who keep believing they create communities without black women.

Black women who date interracially aren't trying to pass pff their kids as black when they are not...they are lookibg to increase their chances to have stable relationships.

Do you live in a fukking igloo?

There are no black male movements which attack black women like racists and cape for cacs like racists.

You don't know what you're talking about. There are c00n women who do just as you describe. That aside, there are like 500 million black men on Earth. There are more than enough stable men in that group for any one woman so long as she's flexible. Bed wenches often end up with losers so they are settling anyway.

The point is if somebody has more of something you look silly trying to even use that as something to talk about no matter how you try to frame it.

its even stranger when the group thats charging you with self hate is sitting up there with a european textured weave, colored contacts, and a bottle of skin bleaching creme in their purse.

but more importantly, black women just sound insane. they want to blame black men for colorism, while boasting IR dating as their solution. it just really shows how far women think things through. they wanna solve colorism by having more light skinned children, good job.

@Elle Driver

Do you want light skin women to play the background within the Black community?

Nah, they still black women at the end of the day. They shouldn't be put on a pedestal though.

its strange how everyone starts at this false starting ground where only the men have colorism issues. growing up as a dark skinned black male in the 80s and 90s, black females were constantly shunning dark skin in favor of light skin. before black females learned to filter their self hating thoughts, they were completely honest about preferring green/hazel eyes, curly "good hair", lighter skin. now as adults, only the men have a color preference and black women are mere victims. how did that happen?

who's raising all of these black males to frown upon darker skin? where are they learning it? or are we just inherently full of self hate from birth?

Honestly, I mainly noticed men doing this.


I never really noticed this shyt from women growing up...... I barely heard about it from tv n shyt. and i grew up in the blackest city.


So you mean to tell me.............. that some of my conquest were only a success because of Features ?

We must be around the same age cause this is soo true. I didn't hate on dudes that had these traits for it either. A lot of light skin girls liked me probably cause I was opposite of them same way a lot of girls went for what you described. That's my thing a lot of people have had it happen but its how you deal with it. Now some of them apparently not getting choose now its a tragedy word to Eminem lol.

 

[Blackking]

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

 

[emoney]

If there still black women, what is the problem with putting them on a pedestal? BLACK IS BLACK right? (I'm playing devil's advocate)

Breh, you are the one taking it as diss, spite, shade or anything else negative. If a breh was to tell me I have no power in this society I wouldn't take it as a diss because he would be right.
It's better for black women take up their issues with those who have the power to change things.
Unless you are suggesting that black men do have the power to change things but have decided to be followers instead of leaders.
