Oddly this is not really a problem for guys as dark skinned guys are considered more "men" and sexier than the light skinned ones. I sadly think like that too, I can't help it.

In school awhile ago we were talking about the Rwanda Genocide and how they actually killed the lighter skin members of the population cause everyone hated them so i don't think the light skin preference thing is true its a matter of self preference

While I do not condone racism on any level, you honestly can't demand that people try and quell their sexual preferences just for the sake of being "fair" (no pun intended) or politically correct. When hiring someone for a job or admitting them to a school, physical appearance bears zero effect on the abilities that they should be judged on, and therefore there's no excuse for anyone to discriminate on that account. But if you're looking for a prospective romantic/sexual partner, doesn't one have a right to a particular preference? Because honestly, we already discriminate when we say we won't date a guy or girl above/below a certain height, weight, age, hair color, etc. And it's not considered wrong to have such preferences. So when race/skin color is included, why does that all of a sudden make it wrong?

Of course, if the reason a person won't date another person of a particular ethnicity/color has more to do with harboring racist stereotypes rather than just genuine lack of attraction, then that is an entirely different story.

I think its because the light skin blacks were a minority put on the top by european colonialists on a black society where dark skin is the normal thing unlike america or white majority countries

Well pl have their preferences. I personally think guys who are too pale are ugly and sick looking. Like the twilight guy.

I think LL Cool J, Lenny Kravitz and even Pharrell Williams have proven that it can go both ways.

Wow that's right here is a case of false information/wrong education.

That's not true. The colons pit rwandais against each other. In Rwanda like in most african countries, they are a lot of "ethnies" and these ethnies were pitted against each other. The biggest ethnies which are the Tutsi and Hutus keep killing each other not because some are light skinned but because they hate each other. I can't believe some people actually spread that kind of lies, your teacher should be fired now.

This! I hate how dark-skinned African-Americans think all light skinned African-Americans have attitudes and think we are better than them. As a race, we need to lift each other up instead of trying to bring each other down. Also I feel like black people should be the LAST race of people to discriminate on anyone based on their race, sexuality, religion, etc. We should automatically embrace people who are different and always show them love, we don't need to continue that cycle of hate that people had when our great grandmothers and grandfathers were slaves.

Thats the thing the lighter skinned blacks made up a huge part of the population

You must've misread what I wrote.

I didn't demand, nor even ask, for people to change their sexual preferences. I just said that people having these sexual preferences to not include a group of people based on skin color is the reason why so many dark skinned blacks have self-hatred issues.

Do you know what prejudice is?

Those are exceptions because they have that "cool" "bad guys" image. Oh things I will let Will Smith (another exception) do to me.

Ok I'm out of this thread now.

I thought u were a 14 year old white boy OMG

Don't feed the foolish. Just let him be so he can make a quick exit from this thread and not delude it with more unrelated smilies and irrelevant remarks.
