DO BALLERS WANT LIGHT SKIN OR DARK SKIN GIRLS...

  • Rating: 0 after 1 vote


This is quite sad. I received a video from Joy Daily and was quite sad when I watched. In a world where people act like they are color blind...it's still a problem in 2009. ESPECIALLY in the entertainment industry..

They actually have moved from light skin girls to exotic ones. But that is a different story.

According to Joy...Light skin women have always been casted in lead roles and are put on pedestals. Dark skin women are overlooked and usually casted as the stereotypical, over sexed, booty shakers. In the video below..Complexion Obsession finds out why in this controversial look at Hip Hop industry's top video vixens including Melyssa Ford, Bria Myles, Vanessa Veasley, Suelyn, and Dollicia Bryant. They give a take on why the industry is obsessed with light complexions.

Check out a clip below and let us know how you feel:

I think people just need shit to talk about sometimes. I'm a brown skin gal on the darker side and I've never felt "inferior" to a red bone chic. Beauty is beauty - and I highly doubt any truly beautiful chocolate, bronze or brown skin model/actress would get passed on a role simply because she isn't light skin. Melyssa Ford sounded like a complete AIRHEAD - if anyone should know that, it should be her. Just like you have your Halle Berrys, Jada Pinketts, Lala Racheons (sp)... you have your Gabrielle Unions, Meagan Goods and Angela Bassetts. Dark skin girls do have a place in the video vixen world (i.e. Bria Myles, Angel Lola, Glenn Twins, etc.). I think it's black folks who won't allow this complex to go away - and sitting in front of the television watching 106th & Park "counting" the number of dark skin girls they see isn't going to help! Hell if we want to talk about putting someone on a pedastal Ms. JoyDaily, our President's wife is a dark skinned sista - we have the ULTIMATE honor!

I'm so happy were on this topic. Now i can let out ALL my feelings and opinions, My name is Shay, im 20 y/o from longisland NY. rasied in Brooklyn Ny, and only lived on LI for 2 yrs now...ANYWAY's long story short.

I can relate to "Woman of color"/ Black woman, b/c I am a blk female myself. And to my knowledge MOST "BLACK MEN" truely DONT appreciate US. They continue to carry on and feel proud of being in a relationship w/ anything thats NOT BLACK. from the poor blk men to the ones w/ money! I truely dont agree w/ them dateing interracially and leaveing blk women w/ no real choice but to date outside her race. even if she doesnt really want to...
and i also blame both blk men and non-black females (light skin fem.) for encourageing blk men to dis-like blk woman. cause i realized if you even go and say "HI" to a blk man, a non- blk woman would pass by and get very angry (this is in public) and give that blk man a look. like they shouldnt date inside their race or that (light skin woman would then begain to flirt w/ him) makeing his ego feel that, they should be w/ a light skinned woman b/c of the BLACK & WHITE Skin CONTRAST. its stupid but thats what the deal is....ppl say im a very intooned person and i truely am. b/c i watch peoples reactions in everyday life esp. blk men towards blk females or towards myself. and its alot of hatetred and being on that light skinned females side b/c of the interracial tabboo. plus they want our men for their BBC " BIG BLK COCK" go to craigslist (casual encounter section) and type in BBC. its a shame! you know what this white man told me, sisters? THEY WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER...light skin woman just dont like to see a original woman/ BLACK WOMAN as I, with anyone weather it being white/ black and anything in between. They get jealous/ envy either way. Another thing black people dont have any unity. thats also what causes alot of interracial dateing, if we cant even get along as a people. how can we make familys or rather raise a family. I LUV OBAMA! b/c he's BLACK and even though hes bi-racial, his mom is white and he still decided to date black woman. He wasnt intimidated by his moms preferance of who he should date. I personally dont like BLACK AND OR CAUCASIAN FEMALES IN GENERAL b/c blk females act intimidated by caucasain females well MOST, NOT ALL, CAUSE NOT ME LOL...I'M NOT EVEN AFRIAD OF MY OWN MAMA LOL seriously...were no slaves and all the ppl who were born after slavery was made ilegal never were slaves. so why be afraid of someone b/c their light skinned and walking your way lol...another thing i dislike caucasian females b/c they wanna take over black men (BBC) lol and the legacy of being a blk woman, i say this b/c their getting tans to look darker as we all know, getting sugery for fuller lips and ass (yes girl! lol) and even haveing children by blk men such as halle berry, obama our president and so many others ...so when a light skin females kid comes out with color. weather it being a black female like halle or a black male like obama. that same hatetred shed on others for being dark or whatever isnt too far from the nest...and remember both halle berry and obama, both came from a pale white woman lol...so yeah like this blk man told me, who by the way has 2 daughters by 2 spanish woman (which i hate spanish females, their the most jealous/ SUPPOSEABLY RACIST/ BUT LUV BLK MEN LOL out of all caucasian females) that blk dude said to me, by the wold being so interracial. thats whats going to make this world mixed. that was just his quick answer to avoid what i was getting at. why arent blk woman a blk mans first choice? MY CONCLUSION is: Caucasian woman are *gender racist meaning only racist to famales not the males ofcourse b/c they have a BBC lol and Black men are following their foot steps and being anti-blk female and appeciateing of a slutty caucasian instead of his own roots...my thing is, if a pale gost white lady can make a caramel man like obama and me since thats my complexion or halle berry whos also caramel. whats the point of dateing interracially ??? esp. if the woman your fucking would treat ur daughter fucked up if she came out looking like halle berry. then who in their right mind would mate w/ ppl like that...only desperate MF who wanna be seen in public sporting a light skinned woman. and whom have a low self esteem such as michael jackson...i mean he was a awesome entertainer and god bless his soul. but he didnt have to change his skin and mate w/ a white woman...its sad and ashamed esp. blk folk w/ money. especially b/c thats when u should be like will smith and sport ur beautiful wife jada and kids around as a true family and even obama. and even though white ppl date interracally they still love their ''match" DARELY...AND IM GOING TO LEAVE U BLK MEN READING THIS AND I HOPE ALOT OF YOU DO. YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY LEARN SOMETHING (LIKE COMMON SENCE) IT'S COOL TO DATE OUTSIDE OF UR RACE AND ENJOY THE EYE CANDY OF THE OPPOSITE SKIN COMPLEXION OF YOURS. OPPOSITE OR CONTRAST WHATEVER U WANNA CALL IT! BUT LEARN THE WORD MATCH AS WELL B/C WHEN YOU PLAY A BLK WOMAN UR PLAYING YOURSELF. WE ARE PRODUCTS OF EACH OTHER AND CUTT FROM THE EXACT SAME CLOTH. WHITE MEN REALIZE THAT, AND THAT WHY THEY PRAISE THEIR WOMAN AND BIG THEM UP. BUT I DONT GET WHY BLACK MEN BIG THEM UP...LOL ITS ALL TOO PATHETIC FOR ME TO DIGUEST BUT WHATEVER WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND...TELL THAT WHITE WOMAN WATCH OUT NEXT TIME YOU BUST IN HER PUSSY, A HALLE BERRY OR EVEN ME MIGHT POP OUT OF THAT BBC LOL

It is very simple ..... If you don't like what they're doing , stop supporting their sh*t ! ?Don't buy their CD's , don't go to their concerts , buy their ringtones or watch their videos !!!! They will get the message quick because in reality , it's all about money !!!!

As adults we can say to hell with them because we know better.
However, their core audience is young, impressionable and multiracial. And these kids take all they see in the videos and live out these 'fantasies'. We just have to teach our children better.


It's not just in the videos, we see 90% of the commercials on TV are not representative of the population at large.

I used to be all up in the light skin dark skin argument but now im older I have learnt to deal with because it will always be there you cant change it. I just say if your a bad bitch it doesnt matter what colour you are someone with find you attractive and you will come across some idiot that only has an eye for light skin exotic girl but fuck him and keep it moving, no use crying over split milk.

If white girls can deal with the blonde vs brunette thing then i think we can deal with this.

But in saying that I do agree with Spicey people of all shades of colour need to represented more because Children are getting a skewed view of the world which isnt right
