Light Skin vs Dark Skin Documentary on Hip Hop in the South

[spybubbble]

I'm a light skinned woman and I never think of myself better than any other dark skinned woman for any reason. Most of my close friends are dark skin, and we've never had an issue with color of our skin. Their dark and really pretty!

[sanzibar76]

we dont need any one to divide us, we are doing a good job. my ex is creole, so what about my son, should he be ashamed? and my ex creole husband only dated and married dark skinned. i look lighter than i am in my pic, never been hated on until i dated this guy from pakistan. boy negroes truly hated thEn, he was a swEEt guy!

[CW043]

I feel ashamed that this ignorance was exposed at an international film festival.

We need to know shame and embrace pride in ourselves.

that first girl (cornrolls) is too pretty to be talking like that. Sounds like a ghetto crackhead. Almost she trying to prove something with the cornrolls and ghetto talk

[marivera2010]

[TheGreatWhimsy]

I personally think DARK SKIN girls have hotter stuff down low

[MrBigawesome1]

darker girls that are pretty are more beautiful than any woman in the world! AND,! who in hell wanna date any woman that has four kids and can't hold an intelligent conversation. red bones are and always have been the most used girls in the black community because they feel that every man wants them because of their complextion! so they get ran through! a real woman is a real woman, FUK the skin color! US niggas need to love our selves before we try to love someone else and stop hatin our own!

[xoxofashiionista]

@MrBigawesome1 Agreed all the most famous SUPERMODELS are dark skinned black women

[BlackGirlScholar7]

@xoxofashiionista HOLLA! NAOMI CAMPBELL, JESSICA WHITE, ARLENIS SOSA, EVEN ALEK WEK (not as pretty lol but shit the point is she is DARK) ALL THE BEAUTY MODELS ARE DARK SKIN AHAHHAHAHAHAH thats why i laugh at these big legged fat ass red girls walking around thinking they are BETTER THAN PEOPLE. they even think they are better than women of other RACES, I SWEAR! AHAHAHA i hate light skin people, men and women. AT LEAST THE ONES WHO HATE ME! I AN ACTUAL BLACK WOMAN NOT YOU!

[xoxofashiionista]

@BlackGirlScholar7 Agreeeeeeed. do these light hoes really think the can walk with Jessica White. all the popular girls at my school are dark skinned (except 2) and they are so pretty. ppl just like at one ugly dark girl and think they're all ugly. shid I pull my niggas. no nigga ever turned me down and i am DARK!

Thanks for viewing the video. Please watch both clips. I would like to stress the fact that the color complex is NOT just an African American/Black problem. White supremacy and colonialism has affected so many people. Don't believe me? Check out Hispanic, Indian, Asian, etc. communities.There is power in the words we speak. We have to stop the self destructive language! Yes, we have A LOT of work to do, but we are not alone. Love yourselves and let's love each other.

[CW043]

@TheAshleyWilkerson thank you for the video and the widom in your words of encouragement.

[asurething24]

No homo but the prettiest girl i had ever seen in my life still till the day was dark chocolate so i dont understand(tanisha thomas) she is so gorgious lol....just saying though black folks have to get it together i mean realy :(. We are the only ones that do this to ourselves ugh.

[asurething24]

Anyway when i moved to the south(texas) i started listening to screw musiq(basically houston rappers) and i noticed that ignorant shit. I guess i cant realy say much because knowone has realy had anything to say about my complexion(guess middle)but i think its kinda fucked up bc blk wm come in diff beautiful shades and most southern black men will never notice it seems.

[asurething24]

o wow my friend put me on this youtube thing so im new lol (LATE) anyhow that is very true what the girl said about going to see a guys parents all soon. Ive always been called a caramel colored medium skinned woman because i tan realy nice in the summer but this has happened to me2.. & my sisters that happen to be very light skinned yellow bone red bone whatever.

[abobjenkins]

servitude + integration ruined black people

[TheAshleyWilkerson]

Part 1 & 2 of this film has been shown at various colleges & high schools, and there have been incredible discussions following it. It was also featured at the Hip Hop International Film Festival (New York) and the Short & Sweet film festival in Dallas. Its gritty & has some obvious flaws, but its mineand now its on youtube! Be amazed, outraged, inspired to talk candidly about the subject, and/or create something new, etc. Please tell a friend & thank you for viewing it.

:56 - "talk so dirty bout it" LMAO

On a serious note: what do you hope to "add" to the conversation on hip hop on skin tone? Or generally, what do you hope to accomplish with this project?
