    If colourism affects anyone, it’s only darker skinned men because it’s essentially used to criminalize them and make them perceived as more threatening than they really are.

    However, darker skinned men aren’t the primary group that I see complaining about colourism

    According to dumbfuck logic itt

    will Smith existed and is a huge star so no! lightskin men have been lead actors and colorism doesn't exist nor affect any black person (especially not darker people)

    Obama was black so racism doesn't exist logic.

    You don't gotta be white passing to be light skin.

    Will Smith is not that dark. Neither is Michel B Jordan. Like if you stretched that s*** real hard maybe? Like I've seen niggas say Megan Good and Taraji p Henson aren't lightskin but I mean I'd argue they are.

    michael b jordan isnt light skin either...

    Many of us aren't saying colorism exist in no forms. It exist but a widespread enough issue to turn against each other to the degree we do? No.

    No we can't, this is unhelpful

    African americans in the 60's-90's understood that richer blacks were advantaged compared to the rest of the pop and that they upheld some toxic views but they put that aside in their community and only cared about their struggles as blacks

    Some groups nowadays just feel like their pet issue is bigger than the collective cause and actively divide all of us

    Some groups nowadays just feel like their pet issue is bigger than the collective cause and actively divide all of us

    Cause deep down we don’t feel the need to fight for a collective cause. We’re kinda content now oddly enough

    Y'all arguing over the dumbest s***. A person's proximity to "whiteness" is the discussion some of y'all really need to be engaging in. If I had enough time I'd direct you to some educational videos on this topic.

    Having more roles isn't necessary better. Seeing black men less hopefully means avoiding roles that are detrimental to representation so I aint mad at that
