@uglyblackjohn

"A feminine looking dark-skinned lady (Iman, AJ Johnson, Rashumba,...) can have her choice of guys.
Same with masculine (The Rock, Vin Deisel, ...) guys. El Debarge look-a-likes are the ones viewed as lacking game."

But as the term "unfeminine" being used for Caster Semenya, Michelle Obama and Williams sisters and the label "feminine" for men such as El Debarge (discounting the long hair) show,many people equate broader more "African" features with masculinity and narrower more "European" features with femininity.

There have been studies that show that it isn't just color, that many people find african features combined with light skin to be uglier than the other three combinations.Light skin, Euro features= almost white ie "almost normal". Dark skin, Euro features= exotic. Dark skin, African features= "normal". Light skin, African features = WRONG.

"I was not aware that Brazilians had such a major beef with black Americans, particularly black American women.
http://www.brazzilbrief.com/"

It's Brazil, what'd you expect?
I think they were going hard at black Americans in general, not just black women.
After reading that board for a while, I wish I had my life back I wasted.
Buncha ignorant people but their views are in line with what I have read about Brazil. If I went there, it might be totally different, but there it is.

Apparently brazilian men feel the need to insult black american women.

WTF is their problem?

Jamdown,
As has been demonstrated in this post, MOST DBR, ANTI-BW HATER BM WILL CONTINUE to BLAME SHIFT, MAKE EXCUSES, "CHANGE THE SUBJECT", and DENY THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES when it comes to the DEFENSE/PROTECTION of BW's HUMANITY,DIGNITY, and FEMININITY.

I wonder if this is going to be the response of BM as more BW date outside of the race. I hope the thugs and prosecuted to the fullest.

Once Again. A topic gets detracted by certain individuals trying to find ways to link every single issue to Black men.

---------------------------------------------

I am noticing that Tameka is getting a lot of backlash from people about expressing her views. The very same people who said that she was too dark skinned, and unattractive for Usher.

I am glad that she wrote the article. It will allow people to choose sides openingly in this never ending discussion of colorism within the Black Community.

BW should demand RECIPROCITY from EVERYONE who expects their support.

There's NO REASON why
BW are OBLIGATED to SUPPORT ALL BM, especially when it's CLEAR that MANY are ANTI-BW HATER BM who could CARE LESS when ANYONE/EVERYONE TRASHES the HUMANITY, DIGNITY, and FEMININITY of BW.

Jamdown - Do you even read what I type or you just see Black man and get defensive?

Do yourself a favor and start from the beginning and read objectively.

What is an ad hominem argument?

An ad hominem argument consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by ATTACKING…a characteristic or belief of the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or PRODUCING EVIDENCE against the claim.

The process of proving or disproving the claim is thereby SUBVERTED, and the ad hominem argument works to CHANGE the subject.

Truth b told asked:

There is an unspoken arrogance among women who cry colorism. If a dark-skin man prefers dark-skin women then his is "normal", but if he prefers "light" then he is "colorist".

Do you hear yourself? You are basically saying that "if you don't prefer me, then there is something wrong with you." If that is not the epitome of arrogance then I don't know what is.

Men in general are passing on Dark-skinned women for lighter women. Not only are dark-skinned men not marrying them but light, white and Asian men aren’t…

What is the remedy? I am truly interested. The problem has been highlighted. What is the solution?

Yanmommasaid:

Whatever the solutions are, you clearly are not here trying to find any of them as you deny the existence of the problem and attempt to bully and shame black women into silence on the topic.

Menelik asks:

Yan, would the question have been better served if someone other than truth b told had asked it? If so, can you merely imagined the question being asked by Siditty, for example, and just simply answer the question?

Anyway, as I said elsewhere, as long as readers know EXACTLY what is meant by the phrase “ad hominem argument” and what its SOLE function is, I’m more than happy…

Hopefully Tameka will get herself together and find someone nice to spend her life with (outside of the public eye).

Jamdown,
Your patience with SELF INVOLVED, SELF HATING, DBR ANTI-BW BM is admirable but the CONSTANT DISRESPECT these individuals show when BW are mistreated confirms why BW need to CUT them OUT of EVERY aspect of their lives.

It really should go without saying that no one should be bullied, shamed or insulted into desiring/dating someone else--and that method obviously doesn't work anyway.

If you feel bullied and shamed then that is your problem

@Joe Clyde:

Are you as upset when Black men worship White women (or other non-BW women) as you are with Grata?

Grata represents alot of BW - some of whom have decided to move on.

You seem to have a hard time acknowledging that colorism may be a serious issue for some BW. Perhaps BW should stop worrying so much when BM scream racism and then you would understand what some BW are going through.

It would be nice if BM would at least acknowledge that BW have some serious issues that we are dealing with rather than telling them to shut up.

Perhaps colorism is a minor issue for you and other BM, but for some BW it is a serious problem that they have to deal with on a recurring basis.

Good night yall.
