Why do dark skinned women care if some men don't find dark skinned women attractive?
If you're gorgeous, you can land anyone. If you're not generally attractive to men, don't blame it on your skin color.
Plenty of ugly light skinned women.
It is much deeper than one guy not liking someone because of her skin tone. It still very much is the case that our society, and in particularly our standard of beauty, typically excludes darker skinned woman. I can name a fair amount of light to medium skinned Black female actors but there really isn't a large list of darker toned actresses. And, if there is a particular actress to gain attention, then her skin color is typically her signature (and if we are honest, the subject of comedians). I remember hearing many negative comments about Whoopi Goldberg. I also remember seeing Spike Lee's School Daze in a Kansas City theater and hearing someone in the audience shout about the heroine: "Damn! She's so black, she's purple". This isn't something that is specific to Black women, but we are certainly the ones to feel the deepest impact.
