Every movie that's made for black people I watch, if there's a dark skin nigga that's the lead. He has to have a light skin gf. All the black women have to be light skin. Dark skin woman is a nagging b****. S*** was rampant in the 90s and early 2000s: see Martin.

And if you a light skin dude, you're the good guy or the guy the woman dreams about. Dark skin nigga is just a nefarious evil doer: see Diary of a Mad Black Woman.

Only time dark skin people get some decent treatment is some s*** about being straight from Africa, you can't just be a normal dark skin dude. Dark skins have Tyrese. That's it.

In America at least, s*** bothers me

This thread is going to go well

The solution is to stop watching movies "made for black people"

Cuz the audience eats it up

Gotta address implicit bias

It should idk why it wouldn't, it never gets talked about

I also don't like casting British actors for black American roles s***s stupid- tho I don't like casting British people for American roles in general. They always do way over the top accents like that nigga Rick Grimes from the walking dead.

End thread

I agree with your overarching point to a degree but to say Tyrese is the only famous dark skinned actor (or actress?) is factually untrue

"Every movie that's made for black people I watch"

you dont see anything wrong with this statement ?

I mean a movie with a clear target audience for black people.

Cause it's even worse in the ones that ain't for black audiences lmao.

This too

Why do white people get to go to space and s*** and we get the same coming of age in the hood story

because we keep supporting whatever they put out

Tenet and many movies with black leads outside of slavery and suffering exist

so why do we crave seeing our suffering

Nah, let's not talk about how all the stories about white gangsters make them look loyal tough and raw and black gangs look like evil
animalistic thugs

Colorism in commercials is the worst imo. The robber always has to be white, the dumb person always has to be white. They never have black robbers in commercials

What is your opinion on lack of dark skin women being portrayed as music video w****s? Why are they mad they aren’t being represented in that light? Is the need to feel attractive that bad? Is that a product of the aforementioned examples? What’s the solution?

It's kinda wild how nowadays black people like op always try to divide their own community and make it weak lol

Different than before where people were actively trying to unite ppl

I think that's a whole nother issue that's related to black culture's insistence on placing light skinned people on a pedestal

But it also has to do with the objectification of women and that's something I don't want to nor can I reasonably speak on with me not being a woman and all.

Lets be honest, we not watchin no space movie. 🤣

As if the colorism in "white movies" are any better.

notice your own word choice of " black gangs look like evil animalistic thugs"

you dont notice anything here?

They want to reinforce that thinking within the victimized community so it becomes validated

I dont think that is what he meant so much as movies made for black people are blackity black and play to it to get awards and reception

Kuso got black people in it but its just artist making something. There are many movies where the fact that they are black isnt their main character trait

Man i just watch movies for the art of cinema

Leave all that other s*** at the door

Marlon wayans is dark skin, kid cudi is dark skin. Chadwick boseman list goes on. @OP
