its a southern term, but is kinda demeaning... yellow + bone = yellowbone.

we call 'em yellas for short...

but I, too, have a soft spot for yellaz... you can thank BET/Willie Lynch/Jim Crow for brainwashing us into thinking lighter is better...

i don't think you fall into any of those categories. you ain't even black are you?
I'm jamaican. I don't know what the categories even mean. Can you explain?


well i think that makes you black, so here it goes.

SimplyDimply is a Redbone, due to her freckles, and slightly reddish tint.

I dont think we have a resident NT yellabone, so I'll have to use Mariah Carey to illustrate my point.

thytkerjobs, you're darker than a yellabone and a redbone, so you fall under the category of "orangebone".

that answer your question?

yellabone...

see the difference?
 
That picture has taught me this:

Redbone = Classy, cute black female.

"Yella"bone = Trashy, fat white female.


...I'll just make sure to not use the lingo. No wonder it has not caught on to a national level or anything of the sort.

exactly what I was gonna come in and post, I never understood people freely using "redbone", yellowbone, ect
 
Not to mention the majority of the examples of yellow/redbones have (with the exception of that fat white girl on the motorcycle) are all either girls with alot of makeup on or girls that are airbrushed to death from a magazine photoshoot.

Like dude said ___bone is a classification of colored women. If I'm not mistaken, SimplyD is a pink toe last time I peeped her pic.

I thought a yellowbone is a really light skinned like pale, black or mixed girl with usually black hair.

I know, it's so ridiculous that I don't understand colloquialisms that come from a region that I've never been to.
