singing " omo pupa oo,omo pupa lemi fe" lol i used to think like this as a teenager, light skin light skin, almost killed myself cos of light skinned girls. There's no doubt that like skinned girls can be very attractive and awe inspiring,cos they glow! But this poster shld not get it twisted, there are dark skiined girls that are very beautiful too, though it may not show as much (their beauty wld prob be more glaring if they were lighter does not mean they'r not beautiful ).

@ Myriam S
You know you have a low self-esteem I've seen tons of ugly lightskin girls, the sameway i've seen tonsof ugly darkskin one.
I remember you, you claimed you're creole right? Anyway girl, going by your picture, you are darkskin, not light. Andall the people you posted, i can post darkskin girls that makes them look like shit. Some are pretty, some aren't.
Just because you're lightskin doesn't make you pretty. It depends in the individuals

lol this topic is really getting tired. This is probably gonna be my last post pertaining to this type of discussion but I find it funny how the poster compared Alek Wek to Tyra Banks, them being so beeautiful, when she could have compared Tyra Banks to Naomi Campbell who is way prettier or I could compare Genevieve Nnaji to Tameka Cottle(T.I's wife) and make an argument stating that Dark skin girls are way prettier. Your opinion is very biased lol and not very constructive. I have no problem with light skinned girls, heck my best friend is lightskinned damn near white, but its light skin girls like you( I'm guessing your lightskin cause if you weren't that would be a whole lot of self hate) that make it hard for some dark skin girls to like lightskins. Always thinking your better than dark skin girls.

I am sorry to say this but TI's wife is Ugly. If that is what Light skin entails I am happy to be dark any day. All these sad unintelligent people. My roomate is so proud of her and I call her high yeller. I mean boys are attracted because she is high yeller and she loves the attention.

hey guys you neednt crucify the the post person for the post. its her opinion and its a function of her experience and exposure which you must understand is relative to her. personnally i think that beauty is in the beholders eyes and she shouldnt have to apologize to anybody that she feels that fair skin is more attractive. Could even be she is right else why the strong reaction from darkskinned ladies? have any of you secretly wondered if youd be just a tiny bit more attractive if you were fairer? food for thought @ladoy First of all a ''strong reaction from darker skinned ladies'' does not vindicate the poster's position any more than Malcolm X's strong reaction to 60s racism meant the racists were right. As for ''secretly wondering about being a tiny bit fairer'', perhaps, some may feel that way, based not on the actual state of their beauty, but on their perception of what our COLONISED society may consider ''attractive'' owing to post-colonial indoctrination/brainwashing.

The poster of this thread is not unique. I believe everyone has a preference, but this particular tendency to think white or light is more beautiful is obvious self hatred that remains from years of European rule, opression, domination and many continued feelings of inferiority. In America, many black people are somehow mixed because of slavemasters lust for black (African) women. The children that resulted from these affairs were lighter skinned and given preferential treatment (if you can call it that) by their white owners. They worked in the house serving their masters, while darker skinned (pure Africans) worked in the field toiling like animals.
Slavemasters used skin color to create disunity and jealousy among the slaves. I am taking a quote from
The system was psychological and physical at the same time. The slaves were taught discipline, were impressed again and again with the idea of their own inferiority to "know their place," to see blackness as a sign of subordination, to be awed by the power of the master, to merge their interest with the master's, destroying their own individual needs. To accomplish this there was the discipline of hard labor, the breakup of the slave family, the lulling effects of religion (which sometimes led to "great mischief," as one slaveholder reported), the creation of disunity among slaves by separating them into field slaves and more privileged house slaves, and finally the power of law and the immediate power of the overseer to invoke whipping, burning, mutilation, and death. Dismemberment was provided for in the Virginia Code of 1705. Maryland passed a law in 1723 providing for cutting off the ears of blacks who struck whites, and that for certain serious crimes, slaves should be hanged and the body quartered and exposed.
I am sure colonization of Nigeria and the presence of Europeans had the same effect. Blacks will look at themselves (skin color, hair texture, shape) as inferior to a more European standard. I just wish that we were more aware of where this self hatred comes from. I think if the majority of us new our history, we would begin to love ourselves more than them. Ignorance is blind and it looks like the brainwashing of years passed is still quite prevalent today.

Dark skins are not beautiful?
Is that not what the whites told you blcks back in the days? "Dark skin is dirty".
Same mentality your forefathers fought to change is the one you're trying to preserve.
What can I say? Some of us just don't get "it".

So What?

When it comes to light v. dark and which one is prettier, I don't judge by skin color, but rather the details. That is, your features and overall look is what I look at. I do like clear, even-toned, skin, but these qualities can be found in all skin colors and races. As for the pictures posted of the light skinned persons, not all are physically pretty, if we are only looking at the physical. Some are pretty and some are just okay. Being light does not translate to automatic beauty. So, stop fooling yourself whoever started this thread.

The poster is of the idea that light skin girls are better - Her opinion. If another poster came up with the idea that dark skin girls are better, would we have people throwing tantrums? Just curious.

well although i am a light skin (cause i am mixed) i love darker skin, i mean people can hate on my skin tone but they don´t know what we light skins go through, my skin is tooo sensitive any pimple or mosquito bite will leave a mark on my skin, i get sunburn sooooooo fast and my skin peels as a result of it, it is not easy being a light skin so there´s no reason why people should measure beauty just for the color of the skin, what makes someone mind blowing is confidence and charisma, bet u havent seen tyra without make up

this is why we can't get men, because we have ignorant ass black men that put our color on blast, making the world feel we are unattractive. i hope the poster really opens his eyes, light skinned girls are not that fly. they are just as fly or a lot of the times, less fly than the dark girls. black is beautiful. to me, the darker the better.

Not trying to sound racist but im making my point Most whites and other ethnicities prefer dating dark skinned women because well they are more attractive to them
and the person that started this thread should know the phrase "a N-word, is a N-word is a N-word" whites and others will not give a hoot if you are light as day or dark as night. You are still black look at Prez Obama (biracial) and he is still called a monkey, chicken eater and watermellon gobbling man, and yes the N-word, why?? because black is black and white skin doesnt make you fly and dark skin doesnt make you disabled so stop this nonsense.

Willie Lynch used light skin vs dark skin to divide us as a people do some research, Greetings,
Gentlemen. I greet you here on the bank of the James River in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and twelve. First, I shall thank you, the gentlemen of the Colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I am here to help you solve some of your problems with slaves. Your invitation reached me on my modest plantation in the West Indies, where I have experimented with some of the newest, and still the oldest, methods for control of slaves. Ancient Rome would envy us if my program is implemented. As our boat sailed south on the James River, named for our illustrious King, whose version of the Bible we cherish, I saw enough to know that your problem is not unique. While Rome used cords of wood as crosses for standing human bodies along its highways in great numbers, you are here using the tree and the rope on occasions. I caught the whiff of a dead slave hanging from a tree, a couple miles back. You are not only losing valuable stock by hangings, you are having uprisings, slaves are running away, your crops are sometimes left in the fields too long for maximum profit, you suffer occasional fires, your animals are killed. Gentlemen, you know what your problems are; I do not need to elaborate. I am not here to enumerate your problems, I am here to introduce you to a method of solving them. In my bag here, I HAVE A FULL PROOF METHOD FOR CONTROLLING YOUR BLACK SLAVES. I guarantee every one of you that, if installed correctly, IT WILL CONTROL THE SLAVES FOR AT LEAST 300 HUNDREDS YEARS. My method is simple. Any member of your family or your overseer can use it. I HAVE OUTLINED A NUMBER OF DIFFERENCES AMONG THE SLAVES; AND I TAKE THESE DIFFERENCES AND MAKE THEM BIGGER. I USE FEAR, DISTRUST AND ENVY FOR CONTROL PURPOSES. These methods have worked on my modest plantation in the West Indies and it will work throughout the South. Take this simple little list of differences and think about them. On top of my list is “AGE,” but it’s there only because it starts with an “a.” The second is “COLOR” or shade. There is INTELLIGENCE, SIZE, SEX, SIZES OF PLANTATIONS, STATUS on plantations, ATTITUDE of owners, whether the slaves live in the valley, on a hill, East, West, North, South, have fine hair, course hair, or is tall or short. Now that you have a list of differences, I shall give you an outline of action, but before that, I shall assure you that DISTRUST IS STRONGER THAN TRUST AND ENVY STRONGER THAN ADULATION, RESPECT OR ADMIRATION. The Black slaves after receiving this indoctrination shall carry on and will become self-refueling and self-generating for HUNDREDS of years, maybe THOUSANDS. Don’t forget, you must pitch the OLD black male vs. the YOUNG black male, and the YOUNG black male against the OLD black male. You must use the DARK skin slaves vs. the LIGHT skin slaves, and the LIGHT skin slaves vs. the DARK skin slaves. You must use the FEMALE vs. the MALE, and the MALE vs. the FEMALE. You must also have white servants and overseers [who] distrust all Blacks. But it is NECESSARY THAT YOUR SLAVES TRUST AND DEPEND ON US. THEY MUST LOVE, RESPECT AND TRUST ONLY US. Gentlemen, these kits are your keys to control. Use them. Have your wives and children use them, never miss an opportunity. IF USED INTENSELY FOR ONE YEAR, THE SLAVES THEMSELVES WILL REMAIN PERPETUALLY DISTRUSTFUL. Thank you gentlemen.”
