Dark-Skinned Girls On Colourism | Sister 

Mariivoire don't even get me started on that one!😒

I read that in her voice 😂

Harmony LMAO 😂👏💯 Love me some Tiffany '16

did she seriously say that?

I NEVER like Tiffany until she said that. Changed my opinion on her in literally a split second

jigger jones what she said is true so what’s your point

jigger jones ok yea I get what you mean by that. People really don’t practice what they preach

@jigger jones just because they date a white person it's prob bc they love them dumbass him dating a cacuasion doesn't mean he wouldn't date black girls That's like somebody saying trans rights And then u forcing them to date them (they don't love or know or are into them.) just bc they trans

@jigger jones I mean but they shouldn't really do that of they don't love them that's blaxploitation you're only dating them because of their skin.

Get a life!

Noooo just NOOO

Omg if I catch someone saying that to another person I will erupt like a volcano. *Sometimes I wonder whether we are conditioned to find a certain type of colour attractive or whether we naturally find a certain type of colour attractive* the reason this question came up in my head is because in some parts of the world they associate skin colour with a certain stigma and that seems to cause people to prefer a certain type of skin colour if you know what I mean.

passerell I’m dyslexic with a PhD in social work. I’ve done A LOT with the small errors of my punctuation. But thanks for noticing xxx PS no one mentioned uneducated black women but YOU. So stop it.

passerell wow... Shame. Such a shame.

Pretty much yes. If you think of you're as your you probably don't have GREAT critical thinking skills.

An elderly, white doctor has basically said there are very little advantages to being white other than adaptively being better able to synthesize Vitamin D.

@robin mcgregor Yes. Keywords: varying degrees. If it were as simplistic as it seems and as you suggest, it would not be the foundation for untold nefarious schemes of separation.

Teal Jade's Research Notes and it is that simple, they just broaden the idea and complicate it

Well it is not a curse, it is a good luck charm, because without it, people will age rapidly.

Exactly

Malibeau 25 yaaaaasss queen own it

I just found this video cuz i wanted to see if any black men especially light skinned men was gonna leave any nice comments but unfortunately i probably clicked the wrong video lol. Anyways i just wanted to say that i love dark skinned women. Your skin color is perfect cuz it's like that expensive high quality yummy chocolate that you don't always get to see or have. If people were teasing you for that beautiful shade of complexion; it's cuz they was jealous. They're jealous cuz your skin doesn't crack, you need color treatments or tanning. Why you think people get tans to begin with lol 😄. A lot people want your color but don't want the struggle. I say keep being you & enjoy what God gave you

I hope I'm like that when I'm older.

Little Sade You’re pretty just the way you are, don’t let them put you down!

I wish i could be like you but i had to many negative experiences. When i go to Mexico with my husband to visit his family. It’s all eyes on me and I’m so uncomfortable… Especially in his gated community where most everyone is white Mexican. The time we literally walked out side his house behind the gates to enjoy fresh air a car literally STOP(A MALE) and looked and i just mind my business but after that we always have to walk at night because that was ridiculous. Now i have a way to fit in!

Amoy Ellis interesting but if u understood real history about colonialism and slavery u would understand that nothing happens in a vacuum.. just like when women sometimes say men are trash but people wonna pretend like we are angry and bitter when we should look at the system in which women are still fighting to feel safe in their own bodies.

As a black person I totally agree.

Amoy Ellis exactly. Have no qualms about calling a darker black person 'blick' or whatever vile term but when someone of another race says the n word, it's time for war. Absolutely ridiculous.

I stated what i said because I know it first hand, I'm black, born and grew up in Jamaica and clearly understand the plantation system. But I'm keeping it real, we as blacks like to cry and complain about discrimination, but we discriminate against our own people. Being a dark skinned women I have experience it also and have been treated differently because of my color. So anyone who is commenting that I don't understand our history, please check yourself and get off my line.

mzChocoSensualHedbob you're not actually putting colourism and racism in the same box??!! WOW!

Literally this. I don't understand why people keep making this about envy. It's nothing to do with that. It just shows how much of a pedestal light-skin has been elevated on.. Somehow we've gotten to the point where you can't speak about colorism without people thinking you're somehow jealous of light-skinned people.. So stupid and egocentric.

shows how far up their own arse lighter skinned people are for them to think denouncing colorism means dark-skinned people are jealous.

+Angeliculture You are making people with preference justify it by arguing its racist, stop manipulating society. You say the preference argument is disingenuous but provide no evidence for this other than the fact that people try to justify it with because dark skin is X. Take a non issue like chest hair I have heard some women say they like chest hair because having no chest hair is weird and seems immature, does that mean its disingenuous to say that is preference? Listen plenty of people, hell almost everyone, have characteristics that are, on average, unattractive to the opposite sex I still fail to see how you justify separating skin tone from chest hair, nose size, body shape, ear shape, nail size, eyelash/eyebrow shape, face symmettry, freckles etc.

I'm sure your comment was interesting but it was very long so I didn't read it

Angeliculture I'm sorry but everyone agrees that an average darkskin is uglier than an average lightskin. There are acceptions but they are not the majority.

@witch, please , Its mostly women who fetishze lightskin people...why do you think its always females have this type of convos all the time. What do darskin girls say when they see a lightskin baby.....ahhh she is so beautiful....ahh she oh so cute i want to have a lightskin baby like that as well. Or some feel lightskin women are prettier then them as women refer to others as beautiful. Its easy to blame men and being un nuanced. Because the same dark skin male will still be rejected by women who say stuff like your comment because they want a cute lighskint light eyes male with curly hair right ?

@@luichen115 You aren't even black.

What happens if a Black man is really attracted to a light skin person? So they shouldn't express that part because he's I assume you would call him color struck?

no some black men experience it

U shouldn’t make stupid statements like that without knowing the facts

I have a feeling that you don't know the difference between dark skin, brown skin and light skin in the black community. You probably think they mean dark skin = black lol. I would never support someone who dislieks someone of their own race but some people are just ignorant. They are refering to women who are Lupita shade and its just so silly to think because Lupita is gorgeous

Ofcourse I know the difference between a light skinned and dark skinned black person that's the whole point of this comment. We've both just watched the same clip haven't we?... "You probably think dark skin= black" why do I probably think that then? Because I'm white?

Babe!!! Tell me about it. It’s why I totally stopped listening to C-rap music and switched to soft rock and sometimes metal alongside other meaningful music.

RayS2able she isn’t, but compared to other girls like tika sumpter, angel love, Malaysia etc. she is basic af

MSP 93 Your a smart girl, I don't even listen to that music because it's crap. I'm glad u are doing someone to support dark skinned girl. It is very much appreciated.

Ari SamAlao Yeah. It was the same thing with The Fresh prince of bel air. (The cast claimed that she was stuck up and aggressive behind the scenes and so on.) But we all know that the original (which is usually a dark skinned woman,) is way more entertaining and likeable.

Ari SamAlao the first Claire's mother took her out of the show because she didn't like the teenage pregnancy script. Them replacing them with lighter Claire is another story though.

Ok I’m black & ur reaching.

Yep I remember that show!!!

yeah but they was taking about how she was in real life which she probably was. Her character on the show was dope tho. @@pamjam098

Maya K its good to be knowlegable doesnt mean you have to feel bad or guilty but just to have empathy and to try and understand. im medium toned so i get some bad and some good comments but i hate it when light skinned people dismiss colourism.

That is an amazing trait to have..to be empathetic and recognise the bias. That attribute will take you far in life.

So true

As a man my skin color is not on anything its about money height power and sexual prowess.

It took you until recently to become a braiwashed racist.

TheZchristina97 yes !!!!

*Don't let that show gas you up.*

i need to re-watch

True, sadly a lot of people are dumb as hell. Blaming "white colonialism" for the preference of light skin when even in Ancient Egypt 3000 years ago way before any white people colonialism they already prefered lighter skin on women. It's called preference.

Tiro When you’re unaware that you’re among the ignorant comments that she’s talking about

You got an counter-argument? No? Because you're ignorant and dumb.

Well Tiro here proves that a hit dog will holler. Why would i waste my time trying to get some sense in a troll like you? I have seen your comments, no thanks :'-) have a nice day

Of course you don't because you're a helpless idiot who doesn't know what to say besides crying RACISM!!! I have disproven with several examples that cultures that were without the influence of white colonialism already adored lighter skin. Why? Simply because they liked it. Now what can you guys say about that? Nothing. You're just a bunch of dumb crybabies who can't get over the fact that most people will prefer light skin over dark skin.

LivingAsTasha This occurs n a lot of communities. Nothing special for the blk community

Pretty

Nathan Jones who said anything about black community? I think by “our” she meant people of color. And it is literally special for the black community because we get it the WORST. Ya know why? Because on top of being “dark skinned “ we’re also BLACK. and that’s like the worst thing to come to earth as but we here for some reason smh lmao

Problem with you dark skin girls is you worship dark guys who prefer light women or non black women. Maybe try giving other black guys a chance like brownskin and lightskin or try another race. Don't cry cus the guy as dark as you don't want you when you yourself are a colourist and don't want to date lighter men than you. 'preference' works both ways.

Briptz 96 I agree with that. But i see everyone equally & I would be open to date anybody of any skin tone or race🤗✨

Amena Teferi I love that!

if that's you you're quite light for sudanese.

italia Bella lmao sudanese people are very very black like nikki perkins or nyma tang.

Yinksy93 that is a common misconception. Sudan is very diverse we have every color.

italia Bella k have sudanese (south) friends

erm.... isn't it because of through history lighter skin in asian region meant that person doesn't work outside aka rich enough to stay indoors during daytime?

CreatureHeroin have to say yes. If you have lighter skin they think you have money or class. Here they are taking injections to get lighter skin.

Talk about it. My aunt constantly tells me I'm dark and whenever I stand next to my mom or my cousins they think I'm adopted even though I'm brown.

centigradz that pisses me of so much. Why can't people love their skin and let other love their own skin.

hmmm I think it's slightly different from western concept, also I'm not sure if western concept has to be applied to asia

+Danielle Idolomah Its not that people are saying its not a thing, its that it is that the thing people are complaining about is in peoples minds not their actions and what they are asking for is widespread manipulation of peoples brains and preferences through media control.

+Lala324 Honestly I can't imagine anything more privelleged than demanding all media in society changes to make you seem more attractive. I mean I have a big nose that isnt very attractive, how entitled would it be to demand media cater to make that more attractive?

I have to agree with the500. Being attractive is not a human right. You don't need to follow media stereotypes. I find it very shallow of people who do so, to the extent of feeling victimised becuase others in the lime light have a 'nicer' tone of skin. Get over it, you're not a super model, focus on other aspects in life. The only thing holding you back is your self. Insecurities come from within.

Mr Sam I didn't hear anyone state that anyone had a "nicer" tone of skin, just lighter, they are not synonymous. Me personally I feel as if deep brown skin is a beautiful and useful tone of skin. Useful in the sense as it acts as a preserver and protection from the natural light of our planet ie the sun. Insecurities do NOT only come from within, they most definitely are instilled by outside forces. Although I will agree with you partly because within is where you will have to fight against these lingering feelings of inadequacy and self doubt. IMO

stoqn FB We don’t need validation to believe we are great, and not all white and asian people hate us

dear Alphabet soup, Perhaps everyone wats an hour glass shape, maybe some , a big butt ...BUT never a BIG gut, kinky hair, loud voice , musculine look..and all the bla bla some people boast about saying other races are jealous of them because of it.

@@wingedfameangel7030 Loud voice? masculine look? this HAS to be a joke

zab cartagena I think the video was more about the discrimination that dark skin woman face. No offense but I feel that your comment was kinda...

These videos are always about dark skins and not about how some of them treat light skinned girls ... Yes I'm caramel color , and I get a lot of jealousy comments from my cousins that I'm stuck up or think I'm all that ... My mom is dark skin and I've heard her say a lot of stuff about lighter skinned girls , not me but other people. Like "why she got on all that makeup , she just think she all that cause she light skin" , or "of course she gonna wear that because she think those guys gonna look at her cause that color on her " and I don't say nothing but it makes me sad cause I can't help I'm a lighter skin tone 😭😔 like dark or brown skin girls , look at u so mean sometimes , and rolling they eyes , like wtf.. and than my mom be saying stuff like wear this color lip stick or this color hair , u light skin so it'll look right on u , and I'm just like , why should it matter , it can go anybody , if u fix yourself up right .. idk it might not be as worse as how dark girls are treated but we do deal with stuff too . And it's the black men that be talking about them not us girls !!! And because of the hurt they experience, they put us down , and make us seem like we in the wrong and make us feel bad , and talk about us like dogs and they put they selves on a high pedestal and say stuff like us dark girls are gold, gods and queens , like they try to make us seem like we ain't black because they post nothing but the dark girls and title it black woman like we don't matter . And they making their self seem no better than the black men that put them down dark woman for white and light woman . And most of the time those light woman don't even be from that black race, they be Mexican , Asian , Hispanic, putero Rican and white woman ! I also think they get black light skins mixed up with them !!! Not saying black girls don't have curly hair , but most of those light skin girls with straight and curly hair be from other races !!! And I doubt a black men would date a black light skin girl with 4c hair ... I mean some do, but the ones the capture usually be with curly hair from another race or a damn white woman . I know dark woman have been through hell but it's like now , black lighter woman are silently being excluded and bullied in the process of y'all uplifting y'all selves and it makes me sad . And it also makes me sad how my family think cause I'm kinda light that I automatically look right with everything I put in my face or hair . It makes my cousins that's dark feel bad . And I'm a black girl regardless of what my skin color is

💓Princess Yonna💓 I personally say as a light skin black person that I’ve never faced discrimination. But also Idk is I’m light skinned or not (I’m in the verge of brown) Dark skin woman face more difficulties I believe. The point is not to say light skin people don’t face difficulties too. But the people who are being affected most in the world by colorism is darker skinned people. In the black community they label dark skinned girls ugly and ratchet all the time. The praise people claim dark skinned people get is mostly online not real life. Your mom telling you that you can wear this and that makeup is true. Because you know what: dark skinned usually don’t get that privellage. Not to be rude but you sound kind of butthurt. From my personal experience growing up in the hood and going to public schools, is that dark skinned black girls are hated on and light skin people are idiolized. And you know who usually calls these people ugly: light skinned people. I think the comments from others only affect you if your insecure 🤷🏿‍♀️ Never once have I felt less black because I am light skin but I have seen people put *me* on pedestals. It’s not fair it never is. Especially since instead of seeing multiple dark skinned woman in the media we see lots of like skinned individuals 🤷🏿‍♀️ Light skin people need to stop ignoring colorism and start understanding that people who are darker have to face many different diffuculties. I just can’t feel sympathy for you. Being misrepresented in the media as ghetto and ratchet, being taunted by your own people, never seeing skin like your on a tv screen, and being compared to burnt things is what lots of dark skinned people face. If you really are proud of being black then you don’t need anyone’s validation and that’s the tea ☕️ sis warm and hot for you.💅🏽Be proud and support dark skinned woman because we as a whole and the media put them down.

Mavis Username Who is she

Who?

Jessa Agyeman ALL.THE. TIME.

Same! Expect I’m the light skin one

Yesssss

yess!

Decia -NB these girls didn’t have to apologize because they said nothing wrong about light skin people. Darkskin women can speak on their issues but there’s no need to drag light skin people while speaking on the issues you face having darker skin.

I'm brown but like it or not light skinned ppl need to be involved in the conversation... The definition of colorism includes Anyone shamed by their own race because of their skintone. We've all seen light skinned girls rejected or scrutinized by the black community. Ppl questioning their 'blackness' or hate on them just because they're light. It's colorist. It's wrong. And they deserve to be sympathized with. Whether the ppl in the video are responsible for it or not.

exactly, they didn't drag light skin people so they there was no need to apologize.

i understand what you're saying and they do need to be included, they should admit their privilege and understand how they perpetuate colorism as for their blackness or race being questioned that is not right and it should stop, i always tell me friends and family to stop assuming a person is mixed because of their light complexion, however their "struggle" does not compare to the institutionalised structure that is colorism that SOLELY affects dark-skinned people because colorism is the oppression of darker skinned people to benefit lighter skinned people the same way racism is the oppression of minority to uplift white people and therefore the same way no minority can be racist to a white person no dark-skinned person can be colorist to a light-skinned person.

you don't listen and that will be your demise.

Rosemarie farmer Yawn

Someone commented that these issues are always highlighted about men , I fully agree we need more honest discussions about men of colour...dark skinned men of colour are treated differently and seen as more of a threat than lighter skinned men .. And people please remember in this country we have a thing called freedom of speech !! If people don't agree with my input to this conversation that's fine but Keep your rudeness to yourself ! Simple .

Chicot The Jester ... .Rudeness kmt.

Rosemarie farmer Sorry, could you give me an abridged version. I have a really short attention span.

Chicot The Jester look it's fine..no negative vibes from me to you , basically this issue is a very real and deep issue for women of colour .

yup exactly weather were dark skin,brown skin or dark skin

the world is not a shit hole right now?????????? becky hush!!

True

Lol, what a pointless and strange thing to say

@Onyeka Onyebuchukwu true its just a reflection and deflection tatic used by darkskin women who where never even into darkskin men. Deep insight they always desired to be with a white or lightskin male. They know darkskin men dont face the same problem like them because alot of the ''lightskin females'' or white, latina, asian females are into dark choclate males and always speak highly of them. No one ask why there are so many lightskin, latina,asian white girls are with darkskin males ......they always ask why so many darkskin males are with lightskin, latina, white and asian females.

Lui Chen : Hmmm...that's one way to look at it.

G B a woman wanting a tall man is completely different to him wanting a light skin woman because he's been told all his life that they look "better" even when their own mother is dark. Women want to feel protected so a man being taller gives that illusion and sense of security. It's not the "tallness" per say that they prefer but more so the feeling of protection. So there's no similarity.

Your commentary is appreciated but I agree with the logical direction of Winna Ag. Colorism is rooted in White Supremacist conceptions of attractivess while male height is rooted in patriarchal conceptions of attractiveness. Both are problematic and need be dismantled. However, I do follow your confusion towards the sentiments of men towards height, especially men who protect patriarchy yet concurrenlty complain about patriarchal evaluations of manliness (big, tall, & strong).

There's a difference between a preference and between saying all people who don't look like this are ugly. Colorism connotates the outright rejection of anything dark.

The Emmasculator I think the height issue is a fair comparison to colorism in that a lot of women do immediately write off shorter guys. They cringe and turn their nose up if a short man tries to talk to them, so they are outright rejecting anyone short. For the taller women who do this, they feel that a guy shorter than them can't protect them; and for the shorter women, they don't want a short guy because they don't want short children, which is similar to how dark skinned males don't want dark children so they say they don't date dark girls. Both are fucked up and based on what society deems good and standard.

digthewarmth I wasn't talking about the height comparison. Was referring to the original commenter.

Bisasam1995 someone with some sense.

Thank you

Pooja M You’re writing a dissertation about this nonsense? The university system is even more screwed than I thought.

Pooja M that sounds very interesting !!! Good luck girl

Yes these are the real issues, and its frustrating when people only want to talk about who men choose to date 🙄

couturegalx3 Dating is a huge part of it as humans we naturally want to mate, have sex etc and if someone is saying your an undesirable, it will affect your self esteem.. How do you think these media companies make billions selling beauty standards to both men and women

Chicot The Jester Its not nonsense long ago people of darker skinned in the black community could not get into college. That's just one example. Colorism is more than just certain people being deemed as undesirable, it can affect men and women's livelihoods.

Youre a whole whiye lady who you tryna fool ?? Lmao

@enigmaticstatic 7 lmao im 18 but ok u could've just said she is white based also thanks ❤

I am sorry to hear that. Anyone who makes you feel lesser because of you're skin should be ashamed. Be who and what you are and not what others want you to be.

Your granddad sounds spiritually dead! Nothing cuter than a dark-skinned baby.

Annah Lewanika when I’m around black boys I switch off. I never acknowledge their existence because I know they will chat negative shit.

I feel like the music secretly influences there hate. That's why I don't listen to certian songs. Evil

forever young true I do that as well when I meet a certain type of black guys. My ex had these friends who would seat there and make fun of dark skin women whilst letting me know how much they were obsessed with lighter skin and Caucasian girls. It used to annoy me because I could see how they were influencing my ex and he would end up treating me badly or hide me. The guy eventually ended up cheating on me with several white girls and actually left for one. It's messed up.

Elizabeth Salmon true even how they behave on social media has an influence on these regular black guys. They end up mimicking that culture by treating dark skin women badly 🙄

Annah Lewanika I’m so sorry

Mimsxo ummm we are the most confident. Speak for yourself.

All My Sisters some black girls are not confident due to people society putting them down! It’s only now we are looked on as different and beautiful

I AGREE

Kacey Klos I'm surprised someone like you knows what a husband is.

centigradz black people come in all different shades, that's what makes us unique. Unless she's just an ignorant person..

She probably jelouse you will be surprised how many light skin women hate dark skinned women especially those old women.

jasmine bats but is that not Europeans did? Force thier beauty standards on literally every race it can be proven that the more a certain race of woman is uplifted or seen as beautiful the more others will want to date that particular woman or someone that looks similar to her thus because we see white on the media 24/7 we want to look like them not all of us but a lot of people do.

jasmine bats you don't get the lighter Africans exsist in the first place because of Europeans mating with the Africans again the original black were dark skinned.

jasmine bats how do you think lighter skinned Africans were created?out of thin air? Especially with the hotclimate that would be impossible.

Racist.

Thank you, love...

colorist

Dark skin is very beautiful!

That sounds colorist too you know. You can't fight an evil by adopting it.

Fintan That’s BS

Try not to take it too hard they may not understand that that was very disrespectful and we’re not trying to hurt you.

Society...

she sounds brainwashed by the white washed system/media

That's fucked up

Whoa. 😐

Was she thought by someone to think that light skin and blue eyes are beautiful, or she think that by herself? Because, lets be honest, when you ask a kid which is not influenced by any racial things, which color is most beautiful, 99% will say: blue, red, yellow, pink, green, purple, or something like that. In almost all the cases it will be a color in rainbow spectrum. So, is it just possible that those traits that almost all consider beautiful, are considered as such because of its intrinsic beauty? Or, should we teach children that they can't consider blue or red as their favorite color because it is insult to grey or brown?

You make a good point! That challenges my point on the colouring at least; maybe she was just choosing her favourite colour. Although, regardless, colourism is still an issue in the Indian community and many others; the idea that light skin is beautiful and dark skin is ugly is still perpetuated, and it's no secret. For a group of people who don't naturally have those traits, it's a harmful idea.

I'm not expert on Indian beauty standards, or any other as a mater fact. I learned through internet that light skin and eye color are preferred as beauty standard in most parts of the world. When I got into this subject, I looked a lot of different videos by all races. One interesting video is about this dark skin black beauty which is unanimously recognized as such by all of her own black race (man and woman): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GtcVAfLFPYA.html And I agree with comments that this girl is extraordinarily beautiful (as seen in 1:15). However, facial characteristics and eye color of this girl are not typical black race girl, but they belong to light skinned white or Latino group. Long narrow nose, light eyes, overall shape of the face. Yes, she have dark skin and black curly hair (although, as they say in comments, a soft hair, not a typical afro-textured hair), but that do not harm her beauty. From all of that I conclude next: 1. Primary condition of beauty standard worldwide is related to facial characteristics. 2. Those facial characteristics that are recognized as beautiful (by all, as we see in upper video) are typically related to light skinned population. 3. So, by association, it is presumed that beauty is in light color, although it is only secondary source, not a primary. So, when we combine a facial characteristics of light skinned people with natural color of their eyes (which belong to rainbow spectrum) you have what you have. This, of course, do not belong to all light skinned so it is true that that dark skinned black lady if prettier than great majority of light skinned girls, but that don't change the fact that facial characteristic of even that black lady generally belong to light skinned population. So, as I concluded, light peoples characteristics are not considered beautiful because of media influence, but rather, mass media only shows what everyone already inherently recognize as beautiful.

Davor M in india we prefer Light skinned but people really like dark eyes ex black eyes in india .

And that is perfectly ok.

This is good to hear cuz it's a real problem that affects tons of dark skinned women... especially in the media

If you're not trying to change my preferences, what are you trying to do then exactly?

passerell She’s not trying to change your preference but just trying to say there’s no need to degrade dark skin girls in order to have a preference. My brother is black and his preferences are latinas but he doesn’t go round saying that dark skins are ugly, look like shadows, are loud etc

Who goes around saying that dark skin is ugly? I certainly don't do that, so if the message is "don't insult black people" I find that very insulting that you think you have to tell me that.

Lots of love 💓

I NOTICED THAT LOL, love island says it all, the guys can be any shade and the girls are like wow, but check the dark skinned girls......never get chosen, its obvious. in a way am glad they dont just pretend to be with someone to save face coz its cringy anyway. lifes like that

🌸D~ they don’t care ABOUT OUR FEELINGS, ESPECIALLY THE DARK SKINS

So ignorant

lmao JZ , hes so rude, dont all those rappers use N words in their songs, shocking

Anthxny Because, in the black community at least, dark skinned men are praised. When there is a black character, most of the time he’s they typical black dude (dark, Afro hair). And black female celebrities never really seem to project that same colorism that the black male ones do. Around the globe, most of the marketing for skin lightening is projected at women.That why I feel they chose women. However, I would like to see men talk about it to.

Exactly. This whole video is extremely biased towards women. I’ve had to hear girls constantly talk about wanting a light skin and praise light men. Women are always acting like they are the biggest victims in every situation

OmniSaint actually I hear more people loving chocolate men then females

Yeah I agree. I always see more women fawning over the likes of Chris Brown, Michael Ealy, Jesse Williams or others before they decided they were canceled for other reasons....however with women being traditionally valued and pursued for their beauty as opposed to their other qualities (intelligence, empathy, job security, etc), women are more likely to attach their self-esteem to their looks, which will plummet if they feel undesirable. Especially since most of the beauty industry is geared/marketed towards women. So I understand why they emphasize the struggles of colourism for women more than men, but it doesn't mean men are not affected also. It's not a competition lol...facts are facts.

Mostly all women will not turn down a guy because he is dark chocolate....that's what people look for in a guy... But not so much for a woman, i would know.

Self Hate runs deep in a lot of races. When I hear the term "Preference" that word is a Dog Whistle to me from the person saying it. Preference shows the Self Hate that people have, what they are actually saying is "I hate my dark skin and I want to marry/date a light skin or white person so I can dilute my DNA so my children won't be dark. As soon as I hear that word, I get the hell away from that person. Their Self Hate may be contagious!!! My skincare channel teaches Melanin people the blessing of having dark skin, it is ageless, it has a natural sunscreen protection. I show how to be proud of and care for our skin.

I suffered the same thing but in the black community. However I believe it was my confidence strengthening that I guess got me through it? I sincerely hope you achieved the same thing for yourself! Love you stranger it’ll be alright

Hey pretty thing, I'm sorry you have to learn to love something that's so beautiful. :D I know is this world that makes us like that, but we can change and become better people. YAHUSHA said "Love each other as I have loved you" but the world says " hate one another as much as you can" quite sad. Think of your skin like a celebrity who some hate and some love, but in the end of the day everybody wants to know who they are and what they are doing. Be strong and pray so the hate will go away, be happy with what you have, 'cause some people don't" Bless you so much my love, my pretty, beautiful human. And be the hero the one who spreads love and let them other ones be the villains, in the end of the day heroes need villains, but heroes always win. You'll win!

You're beautiful.

bro shut up honestly well, I’m white so..... lol

Monaedeezy and Martin

get off your high horse. You are not priviledged, just attractive

lmao. Your existence and esteem should not be based on what men prefer.

Not really just said she is attractive. Not dark and I don´t see how that is relevant. There are people attracted to darker shades and ones attracted to lighter ones. The media makes it a bigger problem than it should be. Stop showing your insecurities. Attractive people are privileged, not all biracial are given attention.

Never said you were jealous, just stated insecurities but it does not seem to be the case. I hate when people think they are privileged because of the color of their skin. It is annoying to think one´s skin tone grants them advantages or makes them more attractive than another. Which was why I told her to get off her high horse.

I've heard both white and black guys say they like light skinned or specifically black mixed race, females. It's problematic.

June Bug shut up , Hollywood also cast tan girls

random stuff errr she is talking about Bollywood

@@ayshas288 hahahahaha lmao

i never seen any bollywood movie ever having a person of colour, black ect in it, i see many caucasians.

@@optimist-warmheart8291 They love hiring Europeans /White actors. In-fact some are even hiring actual white actresses as the lead role. And just makeup to and wardrobe to give her a slight portrayal as being Indian.

there is no such thing is the 'most beautiful' color. all colors are beautiful

black man with White, Latina, and Asian women Calm down okay? We get it you like non black women that’s fine no one cares but it’s not necessary to bring down others to uplift another. I hope one day you will stop being hateful.

eritreans are pretty my gosh

ohhhhh now your eyes are fully open, no you get the undertone of colourism, bad isnt it, not obvious

Amani Ta I'm shocked and saddened to hear that you've been treated that way!! Those people don't deserve your time or friendship, I hope you're surrounded by good people without these horrible attitudes who'll love you for who u are regardless of skin colour, as they should 💖💕

Acceptance is the key of all things in life we all beautiful ... Love the color your in love yourself....and stand out thank your for the comments all of it god bless us to love.

Thank you, I too am mixed race light skinned and have also experienced this and can totally relate to what you wrote here.

Punjabi

And so are the black girls.

Cinnamon Starr well i am light skinned indian girl and i belong to india

and the dark skin races dont

@@randomstuff8027 Nobody said you don't, piss off you vindaloo

JustTadiwa : Oh please. If it's not colorism, it would he something. Don't be naive. Humans would always find ways to polarize and class people. It's our nature. If it's not skin color, it would be something else.

Onyeka Onyebuchukwu Did I say that colourism is the only thing ? Oh nope I didn’t :) 👍🏾

You fine as hell tho.

SUGACAKEZZ I know this is very late but I appreciate you for your dark skin, black is beautiful 😉.

All my black friends prefer light skins or white as well because of the same reasons

Joshualacruz you can't just have a preference out of thin air. Most light skinned black women are mixed with other races. THEREFORE they tend to have different features than full blooded ones, most of which men have more attraction to. The thing dark skinned girls dodge is they do feel lighter skinned girls are better looking. The colorism I take issue with is not allowing a person to get a job because they are too dark. Also you don't see any heavy set women in music videos or women in their fifties whatsoever.

Thats white supremacy you donut so that you ethnics can fight over crumbs amongst yourselves

There's also been a preference for darker skin, but lighter skin people took them over and forced them to change their views.

Foxxy18 I don't think it has to do with forse. Just culture. Think about it, white, or light is always better then black or dark. If something is white you can easily determine if it's clean or not. Anything associated with heavens is with heavens. Anything holy or good (in tales) is white. Darkness is associated with unclear, unsafe, dirty, evil. For the longest time this is why the rich people put on white products as make up. Not only in the west. The Asians still do it. If you're not super white, you must be a poor worker in the field, always under the sun. Dirty and poor and probably sick and disgusting and less of a human being than us, the rich and good looking... Well, that's how they thought a couple decades ago anyway. The darker-skinned believed it too. I mean how can you not? No wonder we still have similar thoughts. Not as intense, thankfully, but it is there, somewhere in the back of our culture.

mrblackalchemist I am not sure what point you're trying to make.. But yeah, of course you can have a preference out of mere air. Actually most of your preferences are out of mere air. The culture you live in + the way you react on that culture = most of your preferences. Not because you carefully tried everything and objectively researched every possible option you prefer the taste of vanilla ice cream over mint ice cream or vica versa. Look at dogs for example. They definitely know something is tasty and what is not. Also they eat literally shit. And enjoy it. Why don't we? Because we learned from our culture it's disgusting and unhygienic. We don't need a taste test. Or a "you'll learn to enjoy it." Hell no. So basically preference out of tin air. 😁

Catherine Galparsoro Omg they claim tf outta Mediterranean's lmao

Not if they’re too tan. And if they get their lips filled they can only be so big before the judgement starts.

So because these women are taught to us that they are less pretty and take more racism in a white washed society, you are proud of your white-given privilege for being lighter? Vile.

You should be never let anyone make you feel less than. All skin tones are beautiful and should be treated as such.

Becky Boo I don’t think that’s what she’s saying at all. She’s saying because she thought darker skin equals beauty she saw her lighter skin as the opposite.

@@eka455 hummmmm

I can’t believe you’re comparing colorism to Heightism. Colorism is actually a caste system since there is no such thing as ‘light skin black’, those women are mixed but identifying as fully black. There is no ‘height system’ in the world.

@@beast9125 who cares tho

Chéri Omg same with me. I’m like a caramel color lol so I can’t relate to anything. And Lupita is beautiful 😍
