'Love Island' revives conversation about racial bias in dating

[SmarkMero]

Haven’t black women won this show in the past? If so, why’s this article warranted

Because even though they've won..It's never been while on the arm of a white man

Tristin Mays is a Black woman.

If she ain’t black, Beyoncé ain’t black.

You are a tether but you are very logical.

I've had people ask me if I'm Dominican and both my parents are Nigerian.

There is no one black look.

But we're the weakest links. Also let's stop acting like this is just blackfishing online, a growing number of black women are adopting this mentality.

Why would you want someone whos racist or colorist to choose you?

Closed thread. Thats all folks. Honestly, i never watched or have ANY interest on watching love island. I know its some exported bullshyt from the UK and the UK is full of trash time tv and trash personalities too. We dont need a copy of that here. Tired of these pointless brain fart shows with attention whores doing NOTHING expecting to be rewarded. Thats why shyts gotten bad out here. Reality tv itself was a huge mistake and each show that popularized it made society worse.

My lady watches this show, so I had to ask real quick.

That girl Olandria made a fool of herself tryna get with one of the brothas on that show and only ever showed real interest in only him. The other one, Chelley, also was dying to pair with another brotha on the show. According to her, the black ladies were wanting the black men BAD on there.

 

[Marlow Stanfield]

Why hasn't there been a black dating show on BET or whatever?

There is one called Ready to Love.

Also let's stop acting like this is just blackfishing online, a growing number of black women are adopting this mentality.

- divestor channels have thousands of subscribers and millions of views
- divestor pages have thousands of followers on most socials with incessant engagement
- studies suggest black women consume the most interracial content on youtube out of any demographic
- anecdotal; lipstick alley poll in which damn near half of the votes said they don't prefer men of their race, and that they hide what they truly desire

and specific to this love island shyt - this mentally ill bird made a 2 hour and 30 minutes "movie" for this "swirl" couple; it has amassed 60K likes and 55K bookmarks in less of a day:




if - at this point in time - anyone tries to use "blackfishing" as the explanation for any of this, they're idiots.

a loud and increasing segment of black women are trying to turn white men not dating them into a social issue that requires activism, media coverage and societal pressure
