What does this gibberish have to do with the thread?
Since you are a black male,answer the question.
Yes,I AM from Jersey. Civilization if you will.
My grandpa isn't my father like your is.
Already did and if you read correctly (or at all) I predicted that it would be too much for you to handle. Although I found this very telling and funny in your reply --

"your is" ?
Hey that sounds like gibberish to me . I'd suggest you use something else other than hominem in your replies (if your not sure what that means look it up in dictionary dear).
Jersey and Civilization in the same mention? well I've got a beach house in antarctica that I can sell you anytime your ready.
Yup. Don't get me started on the weirdness in San Jose. My neighborhood had about 3 black families. The other two were biracial couples. So my class had 3 black students (me and the other 2). In I think it was 2nd grade, they started bussing in kids from East San Jose. Mostly Latino and black. Suddenly people thought I lived in East San Jose. (Because obviously, they other black kids did. *rolls eyes*) I don't recall any Latino kids. IT was pretty white. Eventually we got maybe 2 or 3 Indian kids, and there were maybe 5 Asian kids in my grade.
What part of SJ? I grew up in South SJ but have lived by Saratoga/Campbell.
No one's trying to downplay colorism...just people who seem to ascribe to it an undue amount of their misfortune in their personal life.
Am I trying to downplay racism if a 30 year old black man tells me that the reason he hasn't married, graduated high school, been in and out of prison, and ever had a steady job has to do with his skin color and I reject that?
Sounds extreme, but some women seem to ascribe that much importance to their skin color to the exclusion of other factors.
Well I do fell like you're down playing it and belittling anyone who has experienced this as a major factor in the dating world. And no body I seen is even saying anything in comparison to a black man who blames his whole life on this and that....Simply saying it is a major factor and have actually been told this on several occasions and you still are denying it has played a role in dating. Also you don't have any idea how much of a role of misfortune this issue has played in anyone else's life other then your own. Now, I seen your pic and no offense: but I see why you don't get the relevance of this particular issue to some women who are darker or have less Caucasian features, hairstyle, etc. then yourself.
