Is light skin in style?

The Diva · (#1 (**permalink**))

Now-a-days everywhere I go I hear how girls are only checkin for the lightskin brothas. Espcially them jr.high and high school girls. For me, light or dark, every man has a mind. But back to the subject, why are we only wanting one catorgoery of black? Because when you do really think about it, is there really a difference between being light and dark? If you were darker, you'd still have the same views and have the same personality. We NEVER hear whites complaining about being an olive white or a pale white. So bottom line,is it true, light skin bros are in style?

Kunjufu, i was thinking the same thing. Why is it that the under 18 forum is filled with so much shit. Is this what wories our youth, is there not more important things to discuss, that you had to start a thread about thisnonsense. This light skin vs dark skin debate is rubbish, its so irrelvant and played out.

@ K

rather than just saying "Oh dear" you could show the yute something no? Explain about these types of thingsthe idealogy inherrent in it?

Ignorance is a terrible thing yeah but if we just shake head and move on isn't that sorta contributing to it too?

What would you prefer to hear: someone say they like lightskin BLACK men or someone say they like WHITE men? If most girls are going for lightskin men and u prefer darkskin then at least u have more choice so u should be happy. But most importantly stop worryin about what other people are doing and concern urself with ur own affairs.

Not for some people, thus the reason it is discussed so much...

Im Hotep,

Stop it. Just cut it out right now.

How can a skin color be in style? That any Black person would be concerned if other shades of Black are "in style" speaks of a mind that is wrapped in the chains of colonialism and self-hatred.

You know what's in style? Education and entreprenuership among Black people. Last year saw the largest increase in Black businesses opening up, mostly thanks to the internet. You know what's in style? Afrocentricity. Knowing your history. Read about ancient Kush and look at the pictures from the temples of Kemet and see all the shades of Black people standing together before God to create the most influential culture of all times. Put aside this slave foolishness while you are young and nothing can stop you from accomplishing your goals.

LOL! I thought these type of posts were banned. Im glad to be male anyway, because in all honesty this whole light skin vs dark skin issue never really applied to us. Im just glad that whenever there is such animosty amongst brothers, its never to do with the shade of your skin. Its mainly a female thing.
