And if Obama fails (who's half white bdw, but if you want him to be the light-skinned personal messiah do you), does every light-skinned person go down with him?
you probably notice more dark skin guys making black people look badOriginally Posted by Beast4ya
I'm light skinned ...it always seems that the black people who make us look ignorant or make us look bad as a whole, are the dark skinned guys. Yes you may say that there are light skinned cats, doing the things i spoke of but really I believe the ratio of dark skinned dudes to light skinned dudes is tilted to one side in the Black Community. So when BET (most time portraying ignorance), crime, and other negative things involving Black people, the ones who stick out most is the darker guys...thus creating the perception. Thats why most prefer the light skinned guys> dark, to stay away from these things....IMO
High quality post righ'chere....Originally Posted by SuperAntigen
I've said this before and I'll say it again. From my perspective, Willy Lynch was, and continues to be, the black community's greatest villain.
What's interesting though, and I suppose somewhat comical as well, is the fact that from a purely tactical standpoint, you can't help but admire the guy's genius.
The guy simply planted "seeds" within the field that is "black consciousness", and wouldn't you know it, centuries later--my people are still harvesting, in ignorance, the destruction that was sown by this man.
Who needs, and has time to physically enslave millions of people when, for less than a fraction of the cost, you can guarantee their mental enslavement (well the majority) for generations to come.

"Relax"...you know damn well I ain't give your numberaway...but I should have..

Actually no, I know quite a few full-blooded West Africans who are "light skinned" who have no white in them. It's a continuum. Soyes some most likely many "light skinned" African Americans are the product of interracial couplings but many are not. My little brother was lightskinned at some point till he spent madd time in the sun for football and i'm the coffee shade. I'm sure my mom wasn't out smashing whitemenOriginally Posted by Fantastic4our

I've bagged em white, light and dark so it's whatever to me really.
as far has Obama being half white, every light skinned got some white in them somewhere down the line. how you think we got this color?
but uhhh....yeah...we in now
No ayo and skin color aside but those are some pretty dudes.Originally Posted by Dylishis

Good Lord...What planet are y'all living on? Do you seriously see the world this way? Do you think that when police are out harassinginnocent black men, they're gonna be thinking about anything you just said? Like, oh...he's light skinned. He must not be AS bad. They're gonnathrow your yellow butt in the same cell as those crazy @#% darkies. I really hope you're not that twisted up in the brain that you GENUINELY believe thatpeople's deviant behavioral pattern varies by skin tone. I mean, yeah...I agree that there is a negative bias towards darker skinned blacks but the factthat you actually see validity in it is saddening. Get real, man.
