how did you interpret my statement into the literal opposite of what I said

They also are top billed actors who gonna be a lead no matter what.

I'd also like to say, I may have been exaggerating a bit to prove my point with the whole Tyrese thing

So you don't gotta go through and list every black nigga in Hollywood okay

Only lightskin makes I can think of are common and key and peel.

HOW YOU MAKE CHEF BOYARDEE LOOK RACIST

ktt is full of weak coons and non-black people so a srs discussion about this is difficult to be had on here @op

there's this historian, Charles Woods invested in black cinema that talks about stereotypes on a youtube channel dedicated to black american content (yt = reelblack)
here are examples

Man I saw that video about the mavericks regarding kanye vs drake and when Jason Kidd said Drake cause he’s lightskin, he REALLY meant that s***.

Old heads are super colorist and it rubbed off on our generation. I said some things about my dark skin peers that were really unfortunate in high school and middle school that I cringe at now cause I’m light brown skin. But i didn’t know any better cause making fun of people being darker than you was the norm, this was in detroit btw, the blackest city in America.

" weak coons and non blacks"

OUR HOTEP KING HAS ARRIVED

It was clearly a joke because jason is also light skin...

Some of y'all are so full of yourself and full of s*** at the same time that you can't distinguish the two

The selection of threads or comments buckey chooses to reply in are eye brow raising to say the least.

mans makes me regret ever eating chef boyardee

he like an edgy italian who says things that are borderline racist over and over

yeah it’s super prevalent with actresses

More prevalent with actresses than actors because they are selling s***appeal

this is not true
the market is controlled and creates needs
our last resort is pulling the our support but the people who want those movies out def (the industry that keeps greenlighting them ) do it based on their own biases as well

Sometimes I just watch a movie by a black team of creators because I don't want someone f***ing things up.

Just watch All Eyez on Me to see what happens when this occurs. Movie f***in blows.

That’s how it is in every minority group unfortunately.

For us Mexicans, it’s the same thing. I’m light skin so people always saying I’m not Mexican enough cus I’m not dark or I don’t speak Spanish so I’m white

It’s just dumb how we do that to ourselves. We are Mexican by blood. We are black by blood. A different shade of Mexican or black is still Mexican or black. No matter if it’s light or dark

“And every black "you're not black enough"
Is a white "you're all the same"

Lol why would bro mind immediately go to that tho? That’s weird s***🤣 S*** didn’t have a joke tone came off as an ignorant oldhead being ignorant to a fault.

Thats like Brad Stevens saying Eminem cause he’s white if someone asked him Eminem vs Kanye. Just weird s*** that doesn’t help.

Y'all not going to act like there has been more variation and shifting to a variety of actors when many of us can name major dark skinned actors on some of our favorite tv shows and movies of all time

I simply refuse that you will not acknowledge that

DOES YAHYA NOT EXIST

I mean not really. I wouldn't call Drake son black. It looks like they gave him braids to try to make him pass more 🥴

Wasn’t there some controversy recently about Zazie Beets portraying a dark skinned black woman?

the entire cast of CANDYMAN

Stfu

If we acknowledge that there are some prominent dark skin leads that don't need to get carried by a light skin love interest-

Will you acknowledge that it's a common trend that media tends to lean into?
