What I Noticed About Colorism

[DarrynCobretti]

Like OP said colorism can be used as cop out/crutch by agenda-driven people, but it's definitely real.

A good looking Darkskin woman shouldn't have the same amount of simps as a weird looking light skin woman

Word.

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

Facts.

Also btw @Prima Donna is a mixed multiracial hispanic from cali so that explains her Kehlani caping and unable to see colorism from y'all perspective as black women who may have actually had to endure it offline.

My mom is darkskin and the same complexion as Lupita, so I've been peeped what you're talking about and she put me on game at an early age.

Even then they're levels to what darker tone people experience because people like my mom who had thinner/sharper features than some of her cousins/sisters, didn't experience it as bad as her fam who had broader features that didn't adhere to the eurocentric beauty standard.

Looks are subjective.
Some ppl don't think Lupita is all that or Kehlani.

So you don't understand colorism?

 

[Fandroid]

. According to Wikipedia She has described her ethnicity as a mix of "black, white, Native American, Spanish, and Filipino."

So NOT black, motherfukker.

You don't know what a biracial looks like.

I'm Black.

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.

So NOT black, motherfukker.

You don't know what a biracial looks like.

Do you know WTF a biracial is? Because that's what she is. I never mentioned if she was specifically a Mulatto, Quadroon, or whatever. Just biracial.

The Bi in biracial litrerally means 2.

Kehlani claims 7 different backrounds. So she's not even biracial.

I don't think she's Hispanic but it's clear she is mixed and or very lighter skinned. There is nothing wrong with being lighter skin by the way. I notice she and other folks on here can dismiss the conversation picking things out deflecting the REAL issue.


Piggybacking off your family members, I see it as well. In fact, we ALL do but we don't say anything. And if we do, it's "preference" and for me I don't say things because I don't want to come
Off as the bitter dark skin chick because I'm not

@DarrynCobretti is the same exact complexion as me. He is mixed..I don't ignore/dismiss colorism either. Just what yall consider light may not be light to me. Or what you consider dark. Lol

 

[KOOL-AID]

You still thotting? Smh.

my thotting ways is how we became friends so its not all bad u shld say hi more i hate when u ignore me

 

[Canon]

pretty much breh

only certain preferences(there preferences) are acceptable to women. meanwhile they pushing fat bytches, tranny bytches, ugly bytches on us and we gotta accept it.

 

[ChatGPT-5]

Exotic is sawed after.

Lightskin/biracial is considered exotic.​

Cacs when dating black typically go dark with natural hair. It appears they are attracted to the exotic features.

Right.

Peep how Prima Donna is trying to discredit my opinion and yours (because like always mixed people always stay deflecting during colorism discussions lol) and even uttered a complete lie by saying im mixed, when both my parents are black (both African-Americans) one is a rich chocolate (mom)and one is your common everyday yella nikka(pops). I could PM you their wedding picture if you really wanted to see as proof lol. Because apparently to Prima Donna there's no such thing as a lightskin or brownskin African-American, she's literally implying AAs are only dark. You peep that?



Anyone I'm 100% black and proud, and unlike @Prima Donna, who is multiracial (bay area hispanic, trini iirc, mixed w/ white) trying to cape for that mixed thot Kehlani for some suspect reason.


You don't have change how you say things fam, you definitely won't come across as bitter to me and people who feel exactly where you coming from on this issue.

I wanna choke u out

Most bw seem to like brothas that are "middle towned" or just brown approaching light skinned.

I honestly think the only reason why people swear that most bw like dark skinned men is bc the most highly coveted women in the community(light skinned women) tend to go for dark skin men.

African and carribean women get a bad reputation for being bedwenches, esp online, but they aren't nearly as colorist as most AA women. Idgaf what anybody says.


BM are just awful when it comes to colorism though like pathetic. That includes carribean and african men too.
