^^^ haaaaaaha Anthony! i can’t!! being born and raised in L.A this wasn’t a real topic.sadly folk in the South take this light skin/dark skin debate serious and way to far. It’s crazy!! some people are delusional regardless of their complexion, and at the end of the day no one can make you feel inferior unless you allow them too….this is lack back to the 1930’s and 40’s with the brown paper bag test…it’s all dumb

I grew up overseas, here, there as well but I remember having some issues. I remember being called a white bitch at my school in Atlanta. I remember being threatened by older girls on a playground in Germany and one girl specifically saying she had a cousin my color and that she hated people that color. I experienced quite a bit but I did not expect any sympathy because I also saw the other side. I saw how darker skinned women were mistreated and how how many lighter skinned were considered more attractive and accepted more. I also saw and still see how many lighter skinned women and men wear their skin tone as a badge or award, further complicating matters by thinking that they’re better and more attractive simply because their skin is lighter. A lot enjoy being called light bright and red bone. It is ignorance and it is disturbing to see people still feeding into colorism and internal racism all these years later but as long as there are different races and ethnicities this issue will always exist. People will always hate some skin tone and unfortunately it always seems to be black is the most unpopular color of all, even amongst other blacks.

In the times that we live in now, white people could care less of light skin vs. dark skin. The only ppl that have a problem are BLACK PEOPLE!! By the way, Im from Louisiana, and most of the girls on the show that consider themselves "light skin" wouldnt pass for that here. Just saying.

It don’t matter how dark or light u are if sexy & classy with a big booty wear ur real hair long or short, no wigs weaves & confident u gonna attract men cause all men love dark chicks & a lot of men like them light. I’m dark when I was in grade school and middle school I caught hell cuz I was dark but as soon as I got the high School I noticed that more women like dark dudes but I notice light skinned women like dark dudes and light skin dudes like dark girls the yin and the Yang but at the end of the day we all black I don’t really think this is the issue no more maybe in middle school and elementary school but when you grown you grown

I felt it was NOT needed. Because we ALL light ….dark.. white R any skin color has experienced some from of
Prejudice

I think it showed just how much we as black women do it to ourselves and each other and how our men do it to us as well. The days of white men raping all the slaves to produce light skinned women is over. I also noticed only a few times that most of them said white people made them feel different it was us. Same with the dark girls documentary so it starts and ends with us.

Sooooooo, does this mean I get a special too because I’m just brown and have never had any color issues but I do take issue with the idiots still talking about this mess. Get a life.

Dawn Nicole Mabry everyone is talking about this

I’m confused now. From the examples of people on this thread saying they are light skinned to some of the women in the documentary. …clearly, I have been mistaken as to what is light skinned my entire life…because many of the folks on this thread and in the movie are brown at best….Tatayana Ali was profiled and she is dark brown…This is all tomfoolery.

The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice

As a chocolate girl who is now 40 I have never suffered from low self-esteem, been victimized and most definitely not an angry bully towards a lighter complexion female. Pure garbage and very one sided both documentaries. I would like to punch the women in the gut who were ever jealous of Kym Whitley and that no neck, unfunny ass Hope Flood! Whyyyy?

Here They come like Dark woman ain’t the ish

THANK YOU FOR THE VID!!

Mercedes Love Jones…It is not coonish….it shows how dumb all this is and IMO how desperate people are to be deemed as lighter….Tatayana Ali was profiled….why? We are the exact shade of brown….If Bill Dukes had approached me about being in this documentary I would have refused because I am not a “light” girl…I think some of the women appeared as a sort of validation….because there is no way tatayana was confused. I never experienced colorism in my family as we have a rainbow of complexions…actually, I was doted on…so, this is all slave mentality coonery….the documentary proved nothing…if anything there is a more psychological reason as to why Bill Dukes selected some of these women and why they decided to participate. I thought the same thing about Dark Girls…I thought…hmmmm…I am a “dark” girl and I am not represented in this film. ..Gauging by Tatyana I guess because I would be in the light category. We should get over this stupidity and realize that to other races we are all dark skinned….and we are still Black….the diversity in appearances among African Americans is so beautiful to me…wish we could realize this collectively.

It was ridiculous people need to drop that slave mentality

I didn’t see it, but I’ve caught hell for being light and I have witnessed my dark skinned friends catch hell for being dark. I’ve called it out and gotten confused looks from the offenders. This is rampant throughout many cultures. The effects of colonialism are still alive and well.

I can’t identify with this documentary. I’m a light skinned black woman. I am not bi-racial. My grand mother is bi-racial but that’s not my story to tell. I would have loved to see Light skinned women, not biracial women.

Y’all … we’re still doing … right here on this post. We

even this documentary is bias…when they did darkskinned girls, there were no celebrities in it and it was less discussed…now that its about lightskinned girls, they found money for the budget to hire celebs and now its a topic of dicussion…

Nolita Gray did you see this?

If I married Wiz Khalifa, my family would skip the wedding too.
