Black people, lets wake up and stop destroying ourselves! Rappers and others in the Hip Hop music industry have historically been known for skin color bias in their music videos. Now, why is it that rappers think it is okay to specify skin color preference in their songs when they speak about females? "brown skin" "yellow bone" "red bone" ...and u know that they are talking about women who are lighter than a brown paper bag, yet u never hear them say, "My girl is so dark." As a matter of fact, black people know this is a putdown, not a compliment.
So now they have another excuse to disrespect both the light and dark-skinned females. They say that the light-skinned one thinks she's all that and the dark-skinned one has low self-esteem.
And then there was "Becky"...the one that b***p, b***ps... these men don't even respect themselves... If I had children they would never watch TV or listen to the radio! They would be so sheltered! We would be reading books. I would not ...want to teach my children hatred. I don't want them to learn it somewhere else either...especially hating themselves...my little dark-skinned girls watching BET, MTV, Disney, TV One, you name it, and feeling like they just don't measure up because they're too dark...sad and ridiculous...what I call black on black racism.
And major news networks wonder what's wrong with the state of black marriage! Ha! How can you really love someone else when you hate yourself? And black men wonder why black women get attitudes!
Stupidness and Ignorance are tearing our community apart!
