The blatant colorism here is still :wow:

Am I the only one here who doesn't get it

- combative negative dark skinned girl attempting to crush young ricky's dreams
- mixed girl is supportive of young rickys dream
- the guy young rozay admired is with a mixed chick
- rozay grows up to get with a mixed chick

OP, you're not crazy. The media does subtle shyt like this all the time to reinforce stereotypes, but rather than address those issues, some here would rather play dumb. We all know (or at least should know) about the stereotype of the hyper sexual, loud, rude dark-skinned girl vs the classy, attractive, feminine light skinned girl. And I knew exactly what you were talking about as soon as I saw that part. So fukked up how the media is, but even more fukked up how some blacks try and pretend like they don't know what is going on.

Thats interesting because the popular sentiment is that all these instagram thots that we shyt on are cookie cut lightskin women that all look the same and are demonic.

Don't be obtuse. The Coli is not the world. Do you know nothing about colorism? Were you being serious with this reply? Why do you think dark skinned black women bleach their skin? How can you be totally ignorant of the light skinned vs dark-skinned issues within the black community? Are you even black? These are global issues that blacks (specifically black women) deal with.

I mean I thought that shyt was pretty obvious once you pay attention to it. These nikkas are being purposely obtuse

Thanks Op for putting me on that dope music video, but Drake low key ruined the shyt with his fakeness

If you don't have the internalized issues that this is supposed to be exploiting, this would go over your head the same way it went over mine. If you read into this and come up with this conspiracy conclusion, then somewhere inside you, you harbor these prejudices. You can't blame people for not seeing what you see if not everyone's mindset is like yours. That is all.

except that rationale isn't applicable here, giving that there has been a historical precedent in depicting black women in a certain fashion (loud, angry, confrontational).

take your willful stupidity and obliviousness out of this thread please

well well... people will perform all sorts of mental gymnastics BEFORE even taking a critical and objective look at what you say IF what you said disagrees with a deeply held belief. And sometimes they will never get over that initial hurdle.
cognitive dissonance mixed with a dash of willful (or otherwise) ignorance.
incurable!
