You have to be one of the most brain-dead, uneducated, ignorant posters I've encountered on this board. Please read a ****ing book or learn something about the human psychosis before you try to make that argument again.
You want to some cheese with that whine? You have NOTHING and you NEVER did.
People like Tyson Beckford and Naomi Campbell have become fashion model icons and are seen as "beautiful" or "the standard" by many. They are dark-skinned.
Who cares? Many people. And it does matter. As long as our own people have this mentality, then they really have no right to cry "inequality" and they won't be able to move forward.
Your right, this is setting black people back 100 years, it's ridiculous, because to me no shade is better than the other, it's equal and I find beauty in all shades, but that's just me and we must progress not regress.
I personally think all this light skin vs dark skin thing is bullsh*t ! We should all just accept one another for how and who we are. Especially we black people. We should stick toghethor instead of dividing ourselves in different groupes according to the shade of our skin.
I am light skinned , it's because I'm mixed race. And I've once been told by a few dark skinned guys that I couldn't hang out with them because I was to light. And they didn't want to be associated with someone who was practically white.
That made me so mad !
I think all people are equal. No race or shade of color is better then another.
and i dont know if its ironic or not but both of them kinda prefer to date white people according to their previous choices
Well Stacy Dash has only dated white men recently but she said she would date a black man but they never approach her so that could be their reasons also.
His point is that most of these older people who think this way pick up that from young. Just like how you learn to talk, walk, ride a bike. These traits are learned from young, and the whole black doll vs. white doll thing is an example of this.
Thank you. Things that you learn, think, and have happen to you as a child greatly affects you as person when older.
I can't tell if some of you are just young and uneducated, or just really, really stupid. Seriously, go take a psychology class somewhere and educate yourselves.
Interesting topic, but sadly we have people on here who can't see past celebrity icons and look at real world situations and social discrimination. In a more mature setting, this would be a plausible argument and could be settled.. on here, NO.
I'm white, but I prefer black as night men who look like they just arrived from the homeland.
Especially when they're packing and fit as ****. Got me horny just thinking about it.
In all honesty, I prefer them darker. It's beautiful.
