So Some Black Women Are Mad K. Dot's Dating A Light Skin

[Knives Amilli]

Well all my post has been about her, and this thread is,about her... But u talking about something else.........

I'm talking about the larger point, the overarching issue..

Colorism goes both ways. How come dark niggas aint crying???

dark skinned niggas was getting shitted on too . Until 1986 , when Keith Sweat changed the game forever...but thats a whole notha subject...

black women fawn over lighter complexion guys all the time. Dark skin niggas dont cry. We don't shit on lighter skin brothas n revoke black women cards...

There's no excuse for how that bitch acted, n ppl who act like her. N cosign her fuckery .

While Colorism is detrimental to both sides of the gender spectrum, it affects women more detrimentally as our society still heavily determines a womans value by how attractive she is. And well its kind of a problem if women of color are already in the hole just based off of the shade of their skin.

Yall never go this hard defending dark skin bitches tho....

FALSE!

If a light-skinned chick bashed a dude for dating a dark-skinned chick...

... People would defend the dark-skinned chick.

And the light-skinned broad would get crucified.... Justifiably so.

I hope somebody run they dumbasses off the internet. Then they go kill themselves.

Rashida is fighting the wrong battle, there are bigger and more important ones to fight.....I say this as someone who loves my Black, dark skin sistas

black is black, who cares if its a lighter shade smdh

A lot of niggas, which is the point.

Shorty surely did misfire in the case of Kendrick, but the issue she's rallying against is very, very real; And is in favor of brighter/lighter skinned women, unfortunately..

I feel like this light skin & dark skin debate is like arguing if the right twix is better than the left twix. They both the same candy bar n shit.

Technically, to sensible people.. But you'd be surprised to see just how many niggas prefer brighter/lighter women. They don't even have a real reason, they just "like what they like;" They're quick to deny any sort of White Media brainwashing tho..

Ain't that what attraction is all about? u attracted to a certain elements, and cant help

it?

y should somebody give me a reason, to why they like what they like?

What part of the game is that?

I see alotta fine dark sistas who are cuffed up. Obviously somebody is finding them attractive...

 

[desertrain10]

Fact, we live in a society that worships anything white or close to it

The darker you are the less attractive and the less intellectual u are

Subsequently being light skinned became the standard of beauty for many blacks and Latinos

Kdot himself even acknowledged himself that the world needs reminding the black beauty comes in all shades

That's reason why he went out his way to recast the lead for the "Poetic Justice" video ... Choosing a darker skinned model over the fairer skinned girl that had previously been cast by the director

So while ol girls anger is obviously misdirected, she is one of the people kendricks casting decision was meant to reach

But obviously one video alone can't reverse the narrative or undo the racism she has internalized

What's the point? I think most of us are in the Black is Black category. Differentiating based on skin tone is both retarded and counterproductive

"I think most of us are in the we-are-human category. Differentiating based on race is both retarded and counterproductive."

Smh.

Y'all sound just like the white man except that he says what he says is about race and what y'all say is about color. And just as what he says just serves to cover up the fact that reality is other than he says, so what y'all say just serves to cover up the fact that reality is not what y'all say.

@desertrain10

Imo, your view is the most insightful on this topic, you're a black, dark skinned female. You can go in layers i cant.

what is your indepth analysis on this whole topic ?

Whats your take on Kendrick marrying a lighter complexion girl?

And what's your take in dark blk men n lighter women in general?

Do u agree/ disagree with the activist?

What's your analysis of her from watching the video below?

 

[Kakarot]

I'd rather people be happy with whoever they want to be than be with someone society says they should be with and be miserable.

Bruh, stop tryna pardon this colorism bullshyt.

Since "Black is Black," there isn't a real difference between bright/light skinned women and brown/dark skinned women as far as features are concerned, Except for the color of their skin. But you mean to tell me all these niggas "just happen" to like lighter women when Whitey's been putting lighter women on a pedestal ( depicted as more beautiful, intelligent, graceful, desireable, etc.. ) for as long as anyone can remember? Yeah right..

Shyt, I'm not attracted to White women; But that's because I like full lips, curvy figures, big asses, curly kinky hair, etc.. White women and Black women actually do have different features, generally; And I can detail why I have a tendency to gravitate towards brown women.

But beyond literal skin color, bright/light skinned and brown/dark skinned women don't look so different that a preference needs to be had. Mixed women are a diff story, but generally niggas like lighter skinned women because Whitey has always told them that White/bright = Right.

I'ma fuck around and start posting beautiful Brown women again so these niggas can see how silly all this shyt really is..

Don't misconstrue my words. I was speaking specifially about us on the IC regarding the topic at hand. I love my people. I hate the fact that many of us are easily manipulated to perpetuate division amongst ourselves. I'm not about to go hard defending a person because of their skin tone. Black is Black to me. I'd rather go hard defending Black people in general over White Supremacy America. Fuck all that other bullshit that keeps us separated. I'd defend ol girl if she had something worth defending. She doesn't and I refuse to cosign self-hatred.

Well you did marry Chi Chi...

Dude that's u. Everybody aint U.

I like dark skinned women , but I aint worried if the next nigga do, or dont , or why or not.

Thats not my concern. They're not me, and im not them.

How that lady acted in the video, and in her tweets is ridiculous.

She clearly has an inferior complex ,which kendrick talked about in track 14. Go cop.

Kendrick is one of the few artists who actually show love to dark skinned chicks In his works.

And for her to attack Kendrick. says alot about her. U can show her ass all the appreciation she wants, and she'll never feel it, because she dont appreciate or love her self. Track 15. go cop.

Fam, I've already said that I'm not defending shorty. I'm defending the right to stand against Colorism.

I could not be worried about the next nigga or whatever, but Colorism would be swept under the rug if we all just let niggas "like what they like;" Because they don't just "like what they like." They like what White media has Told them to like, and that has had a real world, divisive effect within Our communities.

Brown/dark skinned women didn't start this Colorism bullshyt, but bright/light skinned women sure do perpetuate it by simply letting niggas "like what they like," because it's a perk that benefits them. That whole, "Oh yeah, I'm light skinned," shyt is real. A lot of light skinned women ( and niggas ) actually do ACT light skinned.. It's selfish and wrong.

This shorty may have been out of line, but turning the other cheek to the entire issue of Colorism itself isn't the right way to go about this.
