I dint know where to place this so hopefully the mods would help me move it to the right section.


I have watched almost silently as thread after thread on nairaland addressed skin bleaching and the 'fair girl preference'. Just this evening I came across the TV show 'trisha' n today's topic was ' stop dating that white woman, we are black'

The first thing that came to my mind was that, if this was a white woman's talk show Africans would call them racist and create a storm on social media. However it's ok for us to tell black men who to date skin colour wise?

Also a lot of guys spend so much time bashing 'bleachers' on social media yet still admire and date these girls. N besides y should we tell ppl wt they can and cannot do with their skin?... white ppl tan, no one takes it as an affront to 'whiteness'. ( n no I dnt bleach, it takes way too much commitment)

I guess my point just is we have so many problems facing us as a people and as a race crime, corruption etc. Yet so much energy is spent debating race. If a person prefers white or fair ladies why is that so bad? Y can't we live and let live?
