Some pple still believe wiz nd yeezy fell for her because of her colour...

colour sha...those ones are just trying to fit that into their narrative. Both men have been with darker skinned women, it's really ignorant to imply that. What's her colour sef, no be black?

Timbuktou:
Kendrick loves black, either light or dark. And he's chosen loyalty over all else and I respect that.
However, even if he left the black community and ventured into mulatto, yellow or white, I wouldn't have been the least bit bothered. Because, one can love something and find that the thing isn't a pragmatic element to their existence. It's that simple to me.

Oh well, because it is not our struggle, we really cannot understand them.

Ken can find a bride anywhere; the most important is a woman compatible for him and ready to build a home with him.

cococandy:
smh.

Black people are in for it. And funny thing is we help others pull us down the more.

Exactly. It' such a shame that we are stuck with the worst men alive. Instead of them to fight the society/melanin lacking species, they focus their anger on their women.

We are not the reason the black race is failing. Tell me what other race talks sh1t about their women the way black men do??

njokusboy:


(1) I'd do that later..
(2) ofcourse, there are white preferences and light skin preferences... what I don't get is how it relates to self hate as you opined..

(2) Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not preferences, but privileges based on skin color!

You guys say black women are obese and you are still complaining about the slim ones. Kontinu.

too much of everything is bad
she can't be anorexic and she cannot be morbidly obese.

coogar:


like any black woman would say the truth concerning her self esteem. their stubbornness would not permit it. "i shall not gree" mentality is inborn in them. even a woman with no romantic partner sends valentine gifts to herself to deceive the world that her market is hot.



halle berry disagrees



they sometimes refuse bald men asking them out.



she should have persevered a bit more



MINT!

Lol, she should have persevered more, while she starves of hunger abi?

TV01:

As an aside "self-esteem" is at best suspect as a notion. And the fixation with women having it will change nothing. Character is waht counts. Likewise being able to tough out situations or go head-to-head does not compensate for real character, ability and hardwork.
And the HP is one of the liberal rags that's leading Sisters on a merry dance.
Just saying.
TV

Of course character is what counts, but at the same time let us not ignore the colorism issue plaguing black men. Stop deceiving the sisters, and this entitlement of 'our black men' will stop. Huffington post did not conduct the study. A white affiliated company conducted the study.

TV01:


(3) Shollypopz point is also largely redundant as whatever the distinction, feminism is a key driver in the black community - directly and indirectly - whether it's consciously subscribed to or not.

What about my point is redundant?? Feminism is a new and growing driver but colorism has been existing since the beginning of the black community.

Feminism has nothing to do with why she attacked Lamar! Read well before you interject your pot belly into other people's conversation.

Shollypopzz:


1. Exactly. It' such a shame that we are stuck with the worst men alive. Instead of them to fight the society/melanin lacking species, they focus their anger on their women.

1. Black men have been done in by their black mothers. Whether you want to accept it or not, the man is integral in raising the boy, but your womanism/feminism has created an alienating environment to the men in your lives and communities.

2. So, the black race is failing because of black men?

Shollypopzz:

Not preferences, but privileges based on skin color!

Walai, am seriously trying to catch ur drift, I replaced preferences with privilege for strategic reasons... Owk, lemme put back privilege, it'd be white privilege and not light skin... Oya explain

coogar:

Yeah she has to be curvaceous and LIGHT! You guys can even excuse obesity as long as she's light to. Hahaha!!!!!!!!!!

See Dbanj bring his foreign iyawo home and dark skinned girls serving her. What race on earth other than the black man does this and still want to pretend there's no colorism issue?

Finally!! Maybe I can get somewhere with you. You agree that there is a white privilege but it is the light-skinned privilege that confuses you, right??

njokusboy:


Am telling you, just look at Kelly Rowland, amber rose, beyonce and MEAGAN GOOD ... it's never really being about the complexion, it's about the baggage...
Black men love thick women... I don't find miley cyrus, Angelina Jolie or those othher skinny white chicks attractive one bit...
I won't mind some kardarsion though...
The only black endowed women I don't admire are the Whoopi goldbergs of this world and you know why

Do you consider Beyoncé or Amber Rose black women in the real sense of it?

Lolzz, you want us to join in ur fight against the white skin... you don't want us to toast white hot women again... nope, the black man must exercise his power of choice.. if ur hot, ur hot, it don't matter if ur black or white..

What re you saying? What other race talks sh1t about their men the way black women do. It's a 2 way street

Feminism is to blame for my di.ck rising to light skinned females. Hahahaha. Instead of you to say you are responding to the calls of nature.

Hi TV how's lil princess doing? Am sure she is growing so much as the weeks ago by.

I wonder how you would have pulled off the looks engineering

It does not matter to me though I think they are both beautifully and wonderfully made(like all mums think of their children monkey no fine but Im mama like am). I just think its highly insensitive to say things like ' gosh your son is so cute much Finer than his sister' or ' they should have swapped it the other way round as boy and girl' sometimes when my daughter is within hearing. We are doing all we can to build character first and everything else would follow. I never ever felt less 'finer' than lighter skinned people while growing up and bleaching or 'toning' never crossed my mind. My parents my dad especially helped with that.

Funny enough life is funny because I never thought I would be married to a lighter skinned dude the default setting used to be 'tall dark and handsome'

On the average,

Fairer kids are cuter (not white though)

Again, you are denying the existence of colorism.

I agree, in most cases, it's a "2 way street" but on Nairaland, it's a one way street. Black rabid spider monkeys jumping on every thread to attack black women.

Stillfire:

some black men actually like thick women. however, i think majority are starting to see the underlying health issues beneath those thick flabs.

Nooo o, I just want you to admit there is a preference for light skinned in our society. Black women like Strober need to know this fact. Stop pretending.

bukatyne:


Do you consider Beyoncé or Amber Rose black women in the real sense of it?

What do youu mean by "the real sense of it"
I consider them black women in totality

And they are mgbeke because they are black Nigerian.?

How many of those ladies (video vixens for that matter ) are more educated or even better than the nollywood babes? They don't even know squat.
Just that they are lighter skinned

It is a color thing coogar.
Accept it and have peace.

At least girls make no pretenses about preferring taller men. if only you people would be that open about your preference too.

I am not fighting with you, I was just trying to understand which of the two you do not agree with because if you do not agree that there is a white privilege (in general and in all spheres of the society), it's pointless trying to convince you that there is a light skin privilege.

Where do you live?

Shollypopzz:
There is something called, connecting the dots and I'm not about to teach a grown "man", how to do that. Did you see the picture I posted on the first page, these are things that men in Lamar's position have said about dark-skinned women. Recently, there was a trend on twitter-"#blackcelebsbelike" showing ridiculous comments Black celebs have made on race issues. The issue is that the melanin lacking community look at the opinions of these people to represent how all black people feel. So, I can't blame them if they would like their celebs to represent them better.

For some reason the pic didn't show and doesn't allow me to open it? Anyway...
Firstly - all communities have melanin - just in varing degrees - or do I need to teach a grown "woman" that !
Again, if anyone decides to calibrate their beliefs on "celeb utterances/lifestyles", that's their business. And to think that as a result, their choices must validate your perceptions is sheer lunacy.

Shollypopzz:
(2.)That is exactly what makes him a fake. You must not be a fan of rap, because rap music is about the artist's lifestyle. People are going to make fun of Drake if he comes out tomorrow talking about selling cocaine and living in the hood, because that would make him a fake. Rappers rap about their lives.

I woulldn't call myself a fan - and mostly because I'm not really musical in a critical sense - but rap has gone mainstream and moved beyond that. Ghetto is no tthe only authentic rap voice - and even if it was, only the more reason to question Rashidas beef with it.

Shollypopzz:
Comparing race issues to gym habit is insulting, to say the least. You are probably one of those Africans that ignore the effects of racism in the black community or you just suck at making analogies.

First, you have to believe that at it's heart it's a race issue - this woman is black as you yourself pointed out !
Secondly, it's a clear analogy of lifestyle and choices - in the absence of any moral prescriptives - not necessarily being tied. Why must Lamaar marry a dark skinned woman just because they have appeared in his iconography? Would he have to go gay if he'd used homosexuals !

And no, I acknowledge the effects of racism. I am also unemotional about the self-inflicted pathologies that the black communities suffer from. Afterall - and I know colonialsim had a role - are there not free black nations that self-govern? Do they not have problems?

I acknowledge - I don't wallow. Which is what Rashida is doing on an individual level and forming activist to soothe her angst.

If Jesus as depicted is white/Jewish, must I as a professing Christian marry a white/Jewish woman? Okay, maybe I am crap at analogies !

Shollypopzz:
I don't support the attack but I understand the frustration. These rappers measure their accomplishment by how many white chics they can sleep with.

That is just bollox. After a while they have scored with so many it simply won't be a thing. Any fascination will soon dissapear when they rack up the numbers. How may black rappers that actually care to marry actually marry white women?

A white man will show off using his white woman, an Indian an indian woman etc, but a black man's symbol of 'I have arrived or I am now international' is everyone else but not the black woman. You have proved my point. End of discussion.

It's a feminist driven sense of entitlement and it also inspires the use of "shaming" to force people to act according to it's odeological dictates.
