if not to look less white/more ethnic, then why?

How come skin bleaching gets criticized but then tanning yourself to look like a dark roasted turkey is seen as it being done for aesthetic reasons?

There is such a double standard to it. So, if darker skinned people bleach or want their skin to be lighter, it is self hate in trying to fit into the mold of more of a euro-centric look. But then, you have people who tan shades darker or even to the point of their skin looking like leather, no one cries that it is self hatred, but that it is done for aestithic reasons to look "healthier" with a bronze tint or even help them "look" thinner.

Exactly...all the Michael Jackson jokes but now it's different. White women tan like they get their nails done. That should say enough. They can'tanswer that though. Because they don't wanna admit the truth....I'll say it again......

Everybody wanna be a _, but nobody wanna be a _ !.......And for dummies that means they want the look, style, swagger but not the problems that come with beingblack in America.

basically.

(both of yall)

like i said, they prefer a skin tone darker than their own natural skin color....

you have an issue with me saying "more black"?

then how about "less white"?

is she white and tanned or black and really light?

Thank you

My gf is white and of course the race topic comes up but I am at a point in my life where I'd rather be with a girl who's down for me and has manysimilar interests (regardless of race). So what if she doesn't have the same skin color?

We get all kind of

looks when we're out but we just keep it moving.

This is what some of you are not seeing. What if every man looked the same and every female looked the same but everyone haddifferent personalities? Wouldn't matter then.

I agree with your statement as I've seen this %++% alot, coming up around a lot of white folk(guys for the most part) but at the same time youcan't consider a white girl tanning as a notion of wanting to be black. I've never seen a white girl tan to the point of looking brown. And ifyou're talking about attempting to look light skinned then you could make a case that they're simply trying to mimick the tone of their southerneuropean brethren or want a south american look.

Do you get the point I'm trying to make though? It's basically the perspective YOU choose to view things and from my experiences ofdating/smashing/whoring out/befriending a ton of white girls, I NEVER got the idea that they wanted to be black. I jokingly made a comment to one of thesebroads saying she tans so much she's gonna look like me one day and she responded, "trust me, I don't wanna be black". Almost put hands onher that day.

being raised in a black household with a black family, i wasnt asked my race

so fall back with that "FULL BLACK" bs...

cause honestly, at this point, even wesley snipes isn't FULL BLACK, guy

(meaning, no african AMERICAN is FULL anything....)

and besides, you think because i'm mixed im not a *$%*+! in the eyes of the prejudiced and bigoted?

FULL black, he says.....lol

that's interesting.....but a black girl who hates her short hair is a chickenhead and a hoodrat. Hmmmm

She got it cut a few weeks ago thinking she would like it.

She hates it and wants her long hair back.

Nothing hood about that.

Ok but a black girl who doesn't like their hair short and gets extensions is hood?

you think they consciously find darker skin more attractive?

you really asking white girls "so you wanna be black?"

did you NOT get the paul mooney quote, bro?

and from my experiences of dating/smashing/whoring out/befriending a ton of white girls, I NEVER got the idea that they wanted to be black
and yet, me being mixed makes me less able to speak on this topic than you?

 

[heliumclinton]

This post is falling on deaf ears forreal. All OP wants to know is why a white 7 is better than a black 7? Why would you choose a white 7 before a black one?

To me OP it doesn't matter, a 7 is a 7 and I'd smash/wife either one if given the opportunity

I eventually got over it and just say it's because he's tall as #*#%.

I guess you didn't see what I said in response to DE on the last page....Its not them wanting to be black. I've said that. It's themwanting to look black/darker. Don't lie if some these chicks could have Jada Pinkett's shade and still be considered white they would. When ol girlsaid "I don't wanna be black" she wasn't even talking about her skin color she was talking about the whole black experience.

It's true fam. Just admit it. Italian broads that are darker even tan.

And you said you never seen a white girl tan til she's brown? It's not possible fam. They can get oompa loompa orange trying tho.

But then again, I was never pointing out that white girls or non-blacks who tan want to be black. I was talking about the double standards of it. Whethersomeone like MJ did it intentionally or not, he got criticized for self-hate and that he wanted to be white because of skin bleaching. But then again, you canget someone like Jessica Simpson or Kim Kardashian tanning themselves to looking like leather scaled oumpa loumpas and rarely would the majority of the publiccry foul and say it is because they are self-hating and want to be "black". Tanning gets more than a pass than skin bleaching, when they are twodifferent extremes of the same coin.

Examples of excessive tanning gone wrong:

I eventually got over it and just say it's because he's tall as #*#%.

My girl and I were up in Seattle a few months ago and we definitely noticed that. I actually wouldn't mind moving up there.

Oh yea? Where are you from? It's a pretty chill place to live ... I've lived here most of my life and I love what I've experience/seehere. Summer is def crackin' -- always hella places to go/be at. We just got done with Sea Fair and Hemp Fest and Bumpershoot is right around the corner.

But doesn't our skin tone define us as being black? I mean, be real, we were looked at as lesser beings because of our skin was coloreddifferently from whites. It's the reason for slavery. Dark skin = black (which includes the black experience) in most societies, so yes, SHE WAS talkingabout her skin color.

you really asking white girls "so you wanna be black?"

did you NOT get the paul mooney quote, bro?
Guess you missed the part where I said I said it in a joking manner? This dude loves to change up and omit important @%@# from peoplesstatements.

and yet, me being mixed makes me less able to speak on this topic than you?
Me smashing white girls doesn't make me less black. You being mixed with white does, unfortunately, make you less black. 2-1 = 1 and thatfact can never be disputed.

[joseph camel jr]

tanned skin is associated with health and leisure and youth and beauty in today's society. i don't want to say it's a "status symbol,"but it' something along those lines.


just like back in the day in some european countries it was desirable to be pale, as it indicated you didn't labor outdoors and were probably well-off, orbeing fat indicated you were wealthy enough to eat in excess, etc.

dudes saying white girls "tan because they want to be black" sound dumb as hell
