Both of my parents are black and im light skin and I have faced the same treatment from these crackers like dark skin blacks have, but every time I turn around I see people going after light skin people like we have it easier when we not only have to deal with these filthy devils, but we have to face dissrespect from dark skin blacks aswell so explain how the f*** do we have it better when we have to deal a bunch of stupid azz nicca's that still belives everything the white man tells them. And the last time I check Oprah, Bob Johnson are not light skin and they are the two riches black people in america even though they are a couple of mother****ing uncle toms that love to pleasing white people.

Indeed...that is true. And I can't believe this is back again.
BUT on their hard road to success light skinned Blacks are treated better. This is a fact and old as the dust and will not change.
People assume better things about light skinned people and are nicer. My mother and sisters are all light skinned, and I am not and I observed this daily for the whole of my life.

Dont get me wrong, i agree with you and i have gotten to where I have through hard work, but in my observations WM just seem more comfortable around lighter skinned men than dark skinned men.

<quoted text>What world is this you're living in ? I've been around whites all my life from grade school ,and they never liked lightskin blacks more than the darkskin ones.
That crap you're talking is ludacris ,because they see one color ,and that's black trust me.
If you're not white you're not right to them racist ones.They may be more intemidated by the darke blacks ,but they don't hate or dislike us any worst.
If it's anybody who knows how whites feel about blacks based on color ,it's me.In 90% of interracial couples the black person in the relationship is dark brown ,or medium brown ,not lightskin.
I've personally talked to whites who said they like darkskin blacks better ,because they think darker blacks keep it real and seem real ,where as lightskin ones try to act like them and they hate that shyt with a passion.And i, by the way ,heard this by several whites in more than one state.
They said the same shyt when i lived in San Antonio ,TX as they did when i lived in WASHINGTON, DC ,Portsmouth ,VA,and now in PHILADELPHIA.
They do not like blacks who look white or try to act white,so i don't know where you got that from or what whites you're around ,but the ones i been around,and that's been alot of them,don't feel that way .
They feel the total opposite of what you said.They also want darker blacks so that their babies can come out with lightbrown, tan skin, full lips and black people shapes.
These are the ones who fxck with blacks.They know they can't make a mix looking baby with a yellow black ,because then it'll come out looking just white ,like mariah carey.
So that you said was false.Most whites get along beter with darkskin blacks more than real blacks,because they feel they try to emulate them.

I can't understand how people minds are so small.
Everyone in life, has been pushed aside for some other reason than COLOR.

Light skinned blacks are light skinned because they have European DNA, so they are smarter, therefore they have it easier.

yes i'm serious. i'm white, i'm not exactly up on the latest black skin care products out on the market today, so thanks for answering.
now that i know you can do that i repeat, it seems a bit extreme.
i mean i thought michael jackson really did have a skin disease. i know a black person who has lupus and she gets little sores on her skin and when they heal that skin loses pigmentation so she has places on her arms that are white now...
so i believed something similar may have been going on with michael jackson.
to bleach your skin to try to meet some standard of beauty is not only a little extreme, but it's kind of sad really. it's almost like hating yourself.

Your logic isn't too logical. A light-skinned person can have a brown-skinned or dark-skinned sibling (both having the same parents and thus sharing 100% of the same DNA). So does the light-skinned sibling have more European DNA than his/her darker sibling? The answer is "NO". Too many people on Topix (you included) confuse phenotype with genotype.

I do agree with you soulflower, that light skinned blacks are more accepted, the american media certainly does promote that but in my own opinion ive never seen these issues occuring in my everyday life. I have a sister thats darker skinned who is very beautiful but skin complexion has never been an issue growing up for neither of us and i just don't understand some of the posters here who feel they are being "held back" because they are of a darker skin colour i mean can you honestly say its that big of an issue where a person has to deal with it daily.
Obviously im not from america so i wouldn't how it would be like to live as a black person over there this is just what experinced as a BW living in the uk.

<quoted text>You can be correct. Skin color isn't really that big of a deal if you are not striving for anything. You see, the problem is when you are very ambitious and you are going for yours, then you are met with confrontation. Dark skinned individuals who don't encounter it are the ones that usually don't explore and try things. Therefore, they may sit back and say, it doesn't exist. My company attended the recent Comic book convention and turned the place out. Some of the caucasians wanted to give us dirty looks and cop an attitude. My strategy and booth was so off the hook that w-folks couldn't resist. My point, continue to strive for excellence despite opposition and haters. It will change the masses.

80 people have answered this poll so far. 55 (68%) agree that light skinned blacks are treated better and 25 (31%) disagree. So most people do realize that light skinned blacks are treated better. I bet those that answered "no" are light skinned themselves.
