I guess I should have used a better looking girl than Kehlani but you get my point
I actually i do but thr is also is a point that ugly lightakin broads are gassed the fukk up. Kelani is prime example of that.

Good. I will not deny any of your experiences.
I feel you, and this was a conversation I had with my one of my exes who was dark and gorgeous.
And as we went back and forth, I came to the conclusion that this was something she experienced in her family (all her family are light besides from her), and in highschool (juvenile boys love making color jokes)
But as an adult, who got attention thrown her way all the time, it was no longer a big thing for her.
I'm not saying that it still doesn't affect her, but, as a black man i can say that most of that lightskin/darkskin talk goes right out the window when you an attractive woman.
I cant deny what she dealt with, but i've lived with it too.
Shoot when I was younger I played outside maybe 7 hours a day and was muuch darker than I am now.
Black girls around me would have no shame telling us that they only liked lightskin guys.
In fact, I heard this more from black girls than the opposite (at the time, it shifted a bit with age).
Black girls in my classes would say stuff like "how come we dont have any lightskin boys?" Or "why are all Africans so dark?
"
But you'll never hear me complain about that stuff today, because it doesn't affect my ability to get women.
Are there women out there who will pass on me due to my skin tone? Of course, that is always a factor for everyone.
I just dont care, because nowadays its not even an issue.\
I got made fun of for being dark and the only African in class until high school. Nowadays it's more whispered. Ex. I don't usually date dark skin women but I'll make an exception for you.
Or being told I'm lucky my husband is light skin cause I won't have kids as dark as me.
Not even including the men who when I reject them their first insult is you black as hell anyway.
For reference I'm Lupita's color or a shade or two darker.
Shes Brownskim but in the darkskin category. Me and her have the same skin complexion. There are darker chicks who are attractive af so my point still stands
All the colorism goes out the window if the person is attractive. If I had a dollar for every time I heard a woman say to me "I normally don't like light skin dudes but..."
Its like its only okay whwn they practice colorism. Let a darkskin dude say normally he doesnt fukk with darkskin women

Colorism simply is, in basic terms " I can't get the guy I want so I'll blame my skin tone and him for not liking me ".

Things bout to get interesting
When it comes to dating alot of times yeah
Some dudes really will still put down a cute darkskin women but why would u want him anyway. But most men wont care if shes dark if shes cute shes cute
I seen too many act as if being dark is a crutch. Like if they turn light they still wont be ugly as hell
scientifically speaking being darkskin is a blessing. Society just says it aint but society also is trying to normalize trannies and homosexuality. So theres that
The colorism that really impacts is employment, the justice system, etc. This whole dating thing with colorism is so trivial
BRUH.All the colorism goes out the window if the person is attractive. If I had a dollar for every time I heard a woman say to me "I normally don't like light skin dudes but..."
Foreal tho, I'm convinced they just say that shyt out of insecurity. It's damn near taboo for BW to admit they like light skin dudes.
One could argue that Colorism/Featurism birthed these personal insecurities and inferiority/superiority complexes.
