color-coded

I hear guys and females talk about what type of skin tone that they would only date. It is interesting that I've heard one guy, that was really high yellow, state that he was only attracted to light skinned girls. Which didn't make sense to me because most people that are light skinned tend to like darker skinned individuals. I tried to change his opinion by saying that there are a lot of beautiful dark skinned girls, but he wasn't trying to hear that. I've heard some black women talk about what type of shade of a brother that they would only date. So yeah, to answer the question of this thread black people are still obsessed with color. It stems from slavery when the white master separated the dark skinned slaves from light skinned slaves, and it has been passed down from generations that the closer to white the better. It's not only the light skinned people that are prejudice, there are some dark skinned individuals that are prejudiced against lighter skinned individuals. I've seen some darker skinned girls get jealous of a lighter skin girl and make rude comments like, "Oh, she think she's pretty or she thinks she's better than someone." In order for people to overcome this inner racism or inferiority, they must come to terms of who they are. Be thankful for God's creation and love what God made and quit resenting his creation. God loves us all whether he created you dark or light, he loves all of his creations.
