The whole situation is sad. But a lot of women put weaves in out if not wanting to be bothered with their hair. It's not always a hate issue. But I do agree with what u are saying. It's just not all black women.
Why the obsession over lighter skin?

The moral of the story is Human beings as animals have survival instincts and will do what needs to be done to survive or you know, die.

unfortunately its deeper than just black women wanting lighter skin. word to sammy sosa and vybz kartel.
To piggy back...An acute psychosis that causes one to hate themselves while aspiring to be seen in the image of the one who originally purported and continues to perpetuate their inferiority complex.
It's a serious problem and only leads to self mutilation and in the end; self destruction.
Let's look at the first elements of indoctrination that is hardly spoekn about..
Black slaves...being "blessed" w/ Christianity while they were in bondage and having to look up at a Jesus that looked like Brad Pitt w/ a Williamsburg Hipster Beard.
Once the second, third, fourth... generations start being born into Christianity as told by the Oppressor, the start believing the religion as their own...and who do they look up to as a symbol of perfection...
So when you look around you and see...
but the owner of the plantation looks like -
They started saying to themselves...well... "Master is white...Jesus is White.... Master = God..but I'm black... If I were lighter, I'd be better"
It's the logic of Psychological warfare. Was it intentional? Who knows, but one group profited from it.
So any American black that is lighter, would naturally be considered better, because they are closer tot he white look, or the White Jesus look.
That negative reinforcement has continued for hundreds of years.
And here we are today.
One day a 3rd pod lands with 2 people in it. The aliens send the scarred human ambassadors to meet these people because they've learned that humans arent so bad and are quite entertaining people, making great pets and caretakers. The scarred ones meet and greet the new arrivals and tell them how things work, informing them the first order of business is disfiguring their faces and teaching them how to walk, talk and behave saying those old human ways are primitive and the alien way is true beauty. Disgusted the new arrivals flee into the landscape. The aliens, wanting new human pets send the ambassadors after them to see if they listen to reason. The new arrivals say they like being human, will not change and send the ambassadors away.Think of it like this. Someone puts you in a rocket and blasts you to another planet. You land and there are aliens everywhere and they all look different from you. Completely. They take you prisoner. They treat you like dirt. You notice that when you act a certain way they treat you a little better then dirt. You also notice that when you have cuts on your face they treat you a little better then dirt. To avoid being treated like shyt you act like the aliens do and make sure there are scars on your face so you can, in your mind, blend in and get treated better because they get nervous when you act to human because of the effects it has on their youth.
One day another human from earth crash lands on the same planet, right in your house. He was one of your old high school friends. He says to you, dude, what happened to you, your face is all cut up, you're talking in beeps and clicks and you're walking weird.
You say to himand inform him he better lose all those earth ways and start cutting up his face if he wants to truely be beautiful. He looks at you like you're crazy and runs from you.
A month later you're bartending an alien party and you see your old high school friend, at the party, mingling, in high class alien attire. He walks over to you and you notice he has mastered the alien language and has a big ass dent in his forehead along with a keloid scar going from the top of his forehead to his chin. He orders a drink from you and gives you that
Then the aliens tell him to bring his human ass to a circle of aliens and you watch your friend juggle rocks and all the aliens are enjoying themselves. You're jealous and decide when you go home your going to beat your face into a wall to get to his level.
The end.
When victims of Stockholm syndrome have children it imprints backwards behavior in the children because theyre parents have basically grown up thinking insane is normal and passed it on to their children.
The aliens find out where the new arrivals are and drop a photon b0mb on them.
The abassadors
in the cut. The end.
It's not an African-American thing. It's a result of White Supremacy. Being a lighter Asian (of any type), lighter African (of any type), and even European in some cases, is viewed as preferable. That's not to say everyone feels that way but that's the generally understood thing. African Americans have been the last to get on the skin bleaching thing, outside of a handful of celebs. It's only blown up the last couple of years, whereas you can go back many years and, in general use, skin bleaching creams/soaps being used in the Caribbean and Motherland.
I never felt that way, however. I was a chocolate to med. brown kid, I'm a couple of shades lighter than that now and miss it.
Single out BW but forget the BM who only prefer lighter skin women and refer to darker skin women as dark butts. Let's also forget about the rappers who stated preferences for lighter skin women while throwing insults at darker women. Of course that's just preference. There's no issue with that.
Bleaching is not prevalent in this country. Stop acting like you know what you're talking about.

Again it is still tied to power. The effects of white supremacy are well entrenched on the African continent. In my country Nigeria, even with the presence of Nollywood that pushes black beauty, there are still a number of Nigerian women that bleach their skin and aspire to have European features regardless. These women live on the African continent many of them have seen poverty constantly and are knowledgeable of the losses Blacks have suffered historically at the hands of Whites, like the decimation of several Igbo societies by the British or the genocide that was carried out on the Benin empire. (great losses that many Nigerian have not been able to overcome presently)
When you then combine that with the rampant poverty and weakness in Africa presently and when the only media you are shown of the western world is that of power and white people living well, you can see were the inferiority complex arises. Many Nigerians believe america is a country were money grows on trees. ( figuratively of course) They cant fathom that there are actually poor white people in this country. This is why when a white person comes to many of these African countries they are treated like kings.
The physiological chains Africans are carrying today are so heavy and it will only take blacks rising up and charting their own direction and vision in the way we interact with this world for the chains to be broken.
So yes those women are dating so called wealthy and powerful African men but in the back of their minds they still don't see those men as the ultimate power. They still know at the end of the day they are toothless dogs and I can assure you when a white man who has his shyt together comes in and shows interest many of those women will try to latch on to him. (seen it myself)
Women are attracted to power and can sniff that shyt from afar. If you need any proof of this look at the number of African women that come to the western world and date interracial.
Side note: This is why presently you don't really hear of like a natural hair movement in places like Nigeria. In fact if you come out rocking natural hair, some of these older Nigerian women will cuss you out for it. Its all tied to trying your best to fit into the European standard of beauty because they believe it gives you access to power.
Mind you this does not only apply to women. Many African men are on this same shyt as well.

The issue never really came to my attention until famous AA celebs were accused of it, so I guess I've been slow on that part.
I noticed it in the Caribbean too.. a notable case was Vybz Kartel but there were other examples. There was this picture of an older man who was bleaching for years and he looked grey
Luckily most of the Africans I've met never fell for that nonsense.

Those accusations of bleaching against those AA celebs are usually false.
so a man is not allowed to voice his opinion on the kind of women who get his dikk hard?
I see nothing wrong with it
I will like you to use the word "preference" than hate.As a dark skin man, you hate women that share your complexion.
Surely I can't hate my mom?
