I don't even know why I keep reading and posting on this stupid thread. It's like a bad car wreck - it's awful but you still have the compulsion to look at it.
Oh believe me, it fits really well. And i now know how to work what i have. And i have gotten deals my friends cannot believe i get.
Infact they want me to get deals for them.
I just think that respecting yourself is very important to a positive well-being, and being secure from within and having a positive essence makes a person shine.
No other person can like or respect you! if you don't respect and like yourself.
Visual aids will help this thread out tremedoulsly.
Uh; REALLY light skin "brothers" ain't "Black" it seems in 2013, more and more of them are starting to call themselves "white" IMHO. Many anglo whites ain't all that "white" in color either.
But you're still right that some dark skin Black ladies ARE def good looking.
Well I just happen to be light skinned. Both of my brothers are dark skinned and my parents are brown skin. That's pretty much par for the course in black families. We are a range of colors and related too.
Life will get worse for you, if you let this burden indentify who you want to be.
Don't let this burden carry you into being a negative person, it is not becoming for anyone person.
I want darker skin damn it, but i did not get that beautiful olive tan complexion my brother and sister do have. I am not light light light, but have more red tones to my skin. I am sicilian and napolitiano, but have more the napolitinao in me then the sicilian.
If people did not like darker skin, think they would be out sunning themselves, getting skin cancer in the process, and tanning salons.
A unrealisitc image of people is projected on the tv, a man has to look a certain way, a women has to be 5"10 and 120 pounds. Here i am at 5"5 in all my glory.
Don't try to live up to anyone elses standards. Have you done things to try and make yourself look better, a new hairdo, new makeup, different style clothes, accentuate your best parts.
It is your own self worth that is bringing you down, and not the color. Sorry but i do have many dark skinned black girlfriends, and their color does not stop them, from having fun, looking good, and having a positive outlook on life. If you do not like the cards you were dealt, do something about it.
Cryingover spilled milk doesn't work.
How do you explain that i have black friends who have very high positions working in Vegas, one man one women, neither one of them are bi-racial but dark skinned. Did not stop them from getting to the positions they both have.
They are both well respected in the community and their place of employment which happens to be one of the most prestigious Casinos hotels in Vegas.
And why are you so obsessed with lighter skin blacks, i don't get it, but feel i understand, i want to be 5"10 but got dealth the cards that said i would only be 5"5 and better be happy about that.
And it is not true that lighter bi-racial people have it so easy in life, i also have seen their struggles.
california,
please stop trying be rational to an irrational person. I'd really hate for you to waste good advice on someone who has another agenda. This poster has been doing this for a long time now. If you'll notice, she cherrypicks her responses, largely ignoring everything else. It's like talking to a brick wall. Her topics are clearly divisive, hoping to stir up a colorism flame war. This topic will probably be closed by a mod, just like all of the others.

I think this person is not who they say they are. I think her name should be EdwardinaA.

My kids are a range of colors as well - and so are the grandkids. Genes are very interesting. My oldest daughter is very light, with silky curly hair that's not even as coarse as my white girl hair! It is obvious that she's biracial. My youngest daughter is much darker (really a different color altogether than her sister - more "red" than "yellow" based skin tone) and her features (very large almond shaped eyes, full lips) look more AA than any of my other kids. I am sure some people have no idea that she's biracial. My boys both look...like something or other...one definitely looks biracial (looks a lot like Tiger Woods in fact) and one looks Arabic - in fact, he's often mistaken for being Arabic (and since he speaks Arabic, he can really confuse people!).
And the grandkids are even more different combos! My younger (darker skinned) daughter married a guy who is Sicilian/Puerto Rican/Panamanian and also happens to be the darkest skinned person in his family. They have one daughter who looks full on Hispanic, down to her nearly straight jet black hair, one who looks biracial/mixed, and one who looks exactly like her mother, my daughter, used to look! (Awwwww, I love that!)
My older daughter who married a white guy has three different colored kids too! All three are pretty light, but what's really interesting to us is that the darkest one has the lightest hair and eyes - blondish hair and blue, blue eyes. The one with the lightest skin has very dark brown, very curly hair, and nearly black eyes which she got from her mom. Then the oldest has tanned looking skin, light brown wavy hair, and light brown eyes.
Their little brother looks Korean. Oh, wait - he IS Korean. He's adopted!

That's not on me. You were already depressed. Go get professional help.
You're just making it worse the way you keep boasting about your mixed grandchildren
