The difference between an ugly/average Lightskin woman and ugly/average Darkskin woman is that the lightskin woman will still have a large group of brown and dark men lusting after her "pretty hair" and lightskin. The pretty dark skin girls who do better with men are usually stunning and probably have weave and thin noses/lips. Light skin and certain features give you bonus points in the looks department for a lot of Black men while dark skinned is ridiculed.

For example, Lupita is way more attractive than Kehlani but which one do you think most Black dudes want?

Both of these women will have the same amount of Simps. I think black women try to blame us because Hollywood is going to cast the lightskin woman to play the role with zack.

I think you're missing the point OP. I've seen brehs lust over mediocre looking lightskin chicks because they had curls and light colored eyes while brushing off elite dark skinned chicks. Not to say the dark skinned chicks don't have problem courting male attention, but that the standards are much higher.

Teedra isn't dark.

Im comparing in general. Shes not dark shes brown. Perhaps Seven Streeter was a better example but @IllmaticDaughter made a great point


and subjective; preference in this conversation is dog-whistle

European Colonization fukked us up.
Lets be clear one thing
Black men, Black women, Black gay/str8/bi/trans, Black educated folks to high school drop out participated in colorism even on a subconscious level.

@Prima Donna so don't think Im jumping down your throat. Its all love sis :handshake:

I wouldn't even say she's brown. Teedra just tans. But she's naturally light..

Sevyn is a better example.

I get yall point though. Its true.

However everyone would pick Lupita over Kehlani. I never see anyone hyping Kehlani as cute. Ever Lol

Lupita vs Rihanna would be more leveled out as far as how ppl hype their looks.

:gucci: Uhhhhhhhh......You couldn't have used a better picture of Kehlani? She look like a dude in this pic

Kehlani isn't black ,get that shyt out of here. :scust:


That's a fukking Mexican.
c00ns claim shes Black because she dates and acts Black
:comeon: Mexican isn't a race. According to Wikipedia She has described her ethnicity as a mix of "black, white, Native American, Spanish, and Filipino." So looks like she's a biracial.
