Why the obsession over lighter skin?

[Chelsea Bridge]

I will like you to use the word "preference" than hate.

Surely I can't hate my mom?

Your preference is based on the white standards of beauty. You are just as guilty.

Bleaching is not prevalent in this country. Stop acting like you know what you're talking about.

Too bad your dad didn't share your preference.

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.

It's always someone elses fault isn't it?

Let's also forget about the black mommas who want "good haired" babies, the black mommas who lather your heads at the tender of age of 3 with straighteners and hot combs, and the black mommas who take you to buy your first wigs...let's also forget the black women who are ready to pull out hand over fist, their hard earned money for skin fades, peelers and bleaches because they claim that black men prefer them that way despite being told otherwise...

Yep. It's the rappers faults alright, the very thugs you choose to procreate establish broken familes with...

Someone else's fault? Who am I blaming?

I'm talking about an issue that affects BM and BW. Clearly, you only want to focus on one group.

And again bleaching is NOT prevalent in this country.

All that other stuff ain't got shyt to do with wanting to be light skin so gone somewhere else with that bull or make another thread to discuss it in.

You're clearly blaming black men, and in my original reference I made a comment about hair hats...you addressed that specific comment so therefore you addressed that specific issue as well...

The issue doesn't effect black men....the issue is clearly a black female self esteem issue.


Black men may waste their money on a lot of crap...but it aint on white women wigs, skin bleaches and fade creams in an attempt to look like something other than what they were born as.

The light skin self esteem issue is a black female problem.

I'm not blaming anyone. I'm pointing out how the issue affects the other side. You're just too biased to see it.

Again bleaching is NOT prevalent in this damn country. We don't have a bleaching problem.

There is no "other side"...this is a black female problem and YES black women use skin bleaches, and "fade" creams in this country.

You could put Lupita Nyongo's picture on every magazine in this country for a year...but it will NEVER end the black woman's grizzly appetite to appear lighter, whiter and with straighter hair.
