    and we agree with her but what you want us to do about it?

    Every movie that's made for black people I watch, if there's a dark skin nigga that's the lead. He has to have a light skin gf. All the black women have to be light skin. Dark skin woman is a nagging b****. S*** was rampant in the 90s and early 2000s: see Martin.

    And if you a light skin dude, you're the good guy or the guy the woman dreams about. Dark skin nigga is just a nefarious evil doer: see Diary of a Mad Black Woman.

    Only time dark skin people get some decent treatment is some s*** about being straight from Africa, you can't just be a normal dark skin dude. Dark skins have Tyrese. That's it.

    In America at least, s*** bothers me

    lol that's just the way of the entertainment world, ie, an industry created to sell stereotypes and caricatures. I'm sure most of the films you're mentioning or thinking of weren't made by a black owned film studio.

    "racism isn't going anywhere so just stfu nword"

    Black people must fix the fundamental issues we have with ourselves before addressing or worrying about Hollywood. Why do so many black people fetish light skin and European features in the first place and what is the root cause of this?

    Why was Tyler perry allowed with always casting a light skin brother as the savior and dark skin brother as evil boogeyman? Who is the main demographic for Tyler perry

    there are too many... black people of a certain type on here for this to be a decent discussion

    this is the same forum that had a whole thread about black people needing to let go of soul food bc its "slave food that makes us look bad".

    I agree but
    tyler perry is media
    hollywood is media

    to answer your question: it's media

    tyler perry and hollywood and any other industry or media personality promoting White lies (white supremacy ) is responsable for pushing this down our throats

    people who accept it or promote it on an individual level need to go change too ofc

    but I feel like this is akin to saying we can solve climate change by recycling whilst industries make up a vast majority of the carbon gas emissions
    individual responsabiltiy matters very little in the face of corporate giants - this is common knowledge - for cultural matters there's this concept called " cultural hegemony " - if more people were aware of this, I think the chances of getting rid of such issues would be far greater

    back to colorism: how are people suppose to change a behavior they're not even aware is based of white supremacist lies? raising awareness is important imo
