Yeah, once again no. Dark skin girls are denigrated. Light skin people get hired at higher rates, receive lighter sentencing and less prison time, get higher pay, and are preferred and more well represented in media. So I’m not really here for you trying to equate someone wanting dark skin women to be represented and…

No, and even if you wanted it to be it’s colorism not racism. They are similar but different. Saying they’re the same is like saying powder blue and royal blue are the same color. If you have eyes you can see they are not.

feel however you want, it doesn’t change the fact that every black person I know, whether they have been to school or not, talk about racism within the frame work of white supremacy looking at as prejudice + power. because this shit is above the pay grade of merriam and webster

Sis did you really come here with a dictionary definition of racism when nearly everybody on this goddamn site uses the academic definition Tapout sis Tapout

LISTEN, that is why I stay out these conversations. Forget the hard numbers of light skin people being hired at higher rates than their darker counterparts, getting less harsher sentencing than their darker counters, higher pay, married at higher rates. A dark girl called them a mean name once. That’s why I’m just…

If you’re trying to explain to me why deserves to be light skin, then let’s just not with each other ok.

Let me tell you something Storm was the reason I felt like I could go on in Middle and High School. Like here was this woman who looked like me but a few shades darker. And she was surrounded by all these white people all the time, and she was fly af. And was still that bitch. And was a leader, and not just a leader…

the more racially ambiguous the better

preach. Let her run to those white people. Like my mother says, “hard ears pickney, dead ah sun hot”

Cady Heron would be the “pretty for a dark skin girl” girl. Other wise, solid take.

Girl they really tryin.

I absolutely felt some type of way about Halle Berry being cast.

Sigh. No... But okay.

Reading is fundamental.

She’s rapping on her new album so....

This is great. And I’m sure I’m going to enjoy this movie, but I wish that when we talked about women and poc we would take the time to write and break out white women, men of color, and women of color. Because when it get broken out into the former language mentioned in the article (women and people of color) it’s…

Starred not only for cardi b but for her spectacular burgundy church lady wig. 

And whenever I listen to Issa Rae there always seems to be s bunch of other things she’s into (teen shows, supernatural genre stuff) that she would love to do that another network wouldn’t greenlight, and BET should reach out to her and say we will let you do whatever you want. And find the money and do it. It’s not…

Same I felt that BET had finally got a good train in terms of some their scripted content. I guess that’s over.

If it were me I would think the smart play would be to reach out to Issa Rae and Donald Glover for content, But them again maybe they can’t pay their check.
