Light Skin vs Dark skin foolishness: rap videos

[chiefs816kc]

I never understood why dark chicks cared so much about rapper's opinions. Rappers are bums & only hood niggas look up to them. Who cares if they only like light skin girls.

[DSouthcrown35]

I don't know what some of these black women that are responding are getting mad about. He's mainly directing this video to the dark skinned women that gets butt hurt about not being in a rap video. Plus, I too have come across the "typical" black woman that blows off compliments from regular guys like myself. Now a days you got to be qualified in the eyes of women in order for you to even give them a compliment that they would acknowledge.

[SivvySiv]

Stop saying "typical" black woman. You obviously apporoach/date some wack ass bitches.

[KN0WLEGE562]

good point when you said i wonder if they would wanna be in a video with a rapper thats talking about some real shit

[5chocolatedragon]

I understand that you are entitled to your opinion, but the woman was standing up for the darker skinned girls (not women). I'm dark-skinned and growing up the women who were as dark as me were few and far between. I had no one to really emulate. The Black women I saw on tv were my sisters' complexions: variations of light-skinned. It would have been nice to have been able to identify with someone at that age. That's all she's trying to say.

[thesassiest]

@Porskeegii i get wat you are saying he is ONE SIDED and BIASED AS HELL. again he is going on and on and okaying the prejudice racist black man who is racists and prejudice agianst his own woman! he dont see that, first off pretty girls rap video wasnt degrading, he couldve put more black than non black women in there of all shades. he missed the complete point of the message bw are supporting bm but bm are throwin bw under the bus like the enemy. bm has become the wm bitch.

[thesassiest]

@Porskeegii the bm has given these negroes a standard of beauty and instead of being a man and a leader by not succoming to THEIR standard of beauty he becomes a follower, the wm tells him wat to do and how to think, and act his mind and his spirit is oppressed and suppressed. thats my point. he has no solid ground, he becomes as oppressive as our enemies(not all bm of course). bm u cant cry racism all the time when you are racist against your own women, wouldnt that make u as the oppressors?

[thesassiest]

@Porskeegii feminist movement did not kill the black families the middle man did, and the black men and women fell for their shit simple as that. also not to mention some black panthers was sleeping with the enemy you cant have freedom and be tooken seriously sleepin with the enemy, ww. our man, i just dont know wats wrong with them, this country has fucked up their minds. bm dont even realize they have the most beautiful women in the world. why would you not want to present it on tv?

[thesassiest]

But conscious minded our men are wimps, they are wimps, look at their communities. Their image. They will easily bash or not care for the womb and mistreat the womb. But wont face the real problems this racist bias ass country that have drove negroes out they mind. Most bm devalue the womb. Black women are not bein REPRESENTED, how will blk girls feel? Our own men dont think we are worthy to be in their MUSIC videos not jus a rap video.

[thesassiest]

Conscious minded you are speakin truth most bm are like dhat thats why most bw act like dhat. They dont realize everything has a cause and effect, and most bm dont protect their women. Stand up for their women. Most of bm are followers instead of leaders. Most are selfcentered. Thats a turn off. Most bm aint black first. They dont realize that as soon as they start gettin they shit together, fightin the system, bein a real man with a revolution and a plan bw will follow.

[thesassiest]

@thesassiest add something most black men dont stand up for their women or protect their people(which includes bm AND bw). and why is that? because most bm dont value the womb

[7FreeToBe]

"Typical black woman response" You're ignorant and I'm mad that I just wasted 10 minutes and 22 seconds of my life listening to your bullshit. It's black men like you that are the reason I've given up on black men! Always judging and criticizing black women! Just another productof society's twisted logic! So keep being ignorant because at the end of the day, you're still in that 90% of men who don't even deserve their dream girl!

[06pimpybaby]

yeah that shit was annoying i mean everyone already looks down on the darkskin girl already the last thing we need is to look like some winey bitch tryna get in some pathetic rap video

[1cambiamos]

i understand they do that to touch on many different cultures. Those light skin girls can pass for many different nationalities.

[kemykat100]

guys holla at me all the time just cause im not giving them play dont mean im a aka angry black women with an attitude. not knowing that i all ready have a good BLACK man. sometimes people just have a bad day. its sounds to me like you have something against dark skin women. But really come on now i feel the real problem is with Dark skin black men who hate their image and probably their mother. I love that theres not many dark women in videos it just makes us more of a desired mystery

[kemykat100]

I see your point to an extent. But maybe you need to surround your self around more positive black women im a dark skin black female and i have done videos and yes been asked to play the lead. I love my skin and dont feel intimidated by light women e.c.t. You are stereotyping all dark skin women which is not cool. You dont know any womens individual struggle that she may not be interested in you the day you talking to her.

[cantgetlaidforshit]

yo i feel you 100% i thought i was the only man who thought like you

[ScholaroftheDay21]

This is for THE OWNER OF THE VID. I listened to your video and you wish it was that simple. I dont think Joy, dark skin women, or myself want to be "lil wayne's lead". Lil Wayne is ugly and so is Wale. Lets move on amicably. I dont like your tone and I dont like your anger. You are no doubt dark skin. Dark skin women have the right to voice what they see as PREJUDICE IN REAL LIFE, MOVIES, COMMERCIALS, JOBS, AND VIDEOS. Why only choose one venue asshole?

[ScholaroftheDay21]

@ScholaroftheDay21 Because you want Dark skin women to seem irrational and complaining. This is their race. They are the AFROCENTRIC STANDARD. Black men dont like this and so they prefer light women. THAT AINT NEWS AND IT WILL NOT CHANGE. Do you think any dark skin woman is focused on what you bastards like? NO. They want to be displayed on TV in a positive way. Little dark skin girls want to see themselves as well

[ghost2101]

@ScholaroftheDay21

if its not that serious, why you on my video bitchin and crying you IGNORANT BITTER SPERMBUCKET??! Im just playing back what ive seen.....BW are VERY focused on what BM like, otherwise they wouldnt bitch about BM picking light skin white and spanish women over them......and who said I was ghetto? youre acting more like an ignorant project hoodrat than I am right now........watch my other video on light skin people and youll see your arguments are EPIC FAIL!

[ScholaroftheDay21]

@ScholaroftheDay21 It seems like I AM ALWAYS explaining PREJUDICE TO GHETTO ASS BLACK MEN when it comes to Dark v light. I for one dont give a fuck if this breaks this race in two. I would love that. I am tired of the prejudice I see everyday against dark skin girls. When A black ass man can be allowed to say "there are no pretty dark skin girls" then HE IS PREJUDICE. PREFERENCE AND PREJUDICE ARE FUCKING DIFFERENT.

[ghost2101]

@ScholaroftheDay21

blah blah blah

[ghost2101]

@ScholaroftheDay21

consider yourself owned, BITCH!

[AllthingsSweet22]

@ghost2101 that is why you black ass is hated and always will be.

[ghost2101]

@ScholaroftheDay21

ms. scholar, this is for YOU......you dont like my tone? I dont like your confrontational attitude, but you cant always get what you want eh...... You dont speak for all dark skin girls......speak for yourself.......these rappers may be ugly but theyre obdviously o so important otherwise you wouldnt be bitchin under my video and we wouldnt be discussing this....this aint about jobs or real life, its about a damn rap video...

[Andybaby]

dude u need to move your mouth further from the mike, or use a a pop shield; great vid!

[cnell25]

Ghost the sad part is this petty shit consumes so many BWs lives, this isnt not getting into college because your dark skinned, not getting a particular job because your dark skinned, not being denied a home loan because your dark skinned.

No THESE BW ARE TRIPPING OVER A GOT DAMN RAP VIDEO, I have a question for these BW, how in the hell is not seeing a dark skinned BW IN A RAP VIDEO, affecting your life so much so that you have put forth effort to boycott them?? Really are you serious!!

[cnell25]

Damn BM have to deal with racist cops beating and killing brothas

Other BM killing brothas

Racist and unjust legal system

Institutionalized racism with respect to getting jobs, or loan etc.

Racism at the workplace

But BM keep it movin, we keep on our grind, were not making vids bitch and whining about the BS we have to deal with on a daily basis.

But BW dont see dark skinned BW in RAP VIDEOS and there whole world falls apart!!!!! says alot about one's priorities doesnt it!!

[ConsciousMinded1]

I see the same tired black men commenting on every BW video. The same ones who say black women don't respect them. Oh well get over it, nothing will change because you havent done anything to warrant respect. Instead you mock us for wanting what every other women has. Men who LIFTS them up. WE have the worst race of men. Men who are incapable of doing anything really.

[cnell25]

@ConsciousMinded1

Other races of men havent had to sit back for years and listen to there women scream and shout about how they dont need a man. Or how there men aint shit, how are BM supposed to uplift BW when BW have been tearing us down for years.

[ConsciousMinded1]

@cnell25

Ok but that came first though. You see they've provided for theirs so they never needed to hear these things. Especially the white man. Why would he hear that? Were his women raped? Were his women unprotected? Was his woman not held on a pedestal? That's why she KISSES his ass because he did that for her.

And for all you guys saying this, you guys still mess with black women and have been doing so for all these years so do your job or else LEAVE. ALL OF YOU.

[ghost2101]

@ConsciousMinded1

Oh dont give me that crap about BM betraying BW knowing damn well BW abandoned BM, and black families to join the feminist movement, which was a highly anti family philosophy promoting misandry and full blown selfishness. BM will play his role of watching out for BW when BW show respect to the roles that BM originally played in the family to begin with....o yea thats right, yall needed us like fish needed a bicycle, remember that phrase?

[ConsciousMinded1]

@ghost2101

Ok then I guess we'll see each other when this is over. Go on your way. Don't worry about what black women are doing or who she's choosing mmkay? Keep protesting. LOL

[ghost2101]

@ConsciousMinded1

ive already gone my way and washed my hands with 70% of you...........but ill never stop laughing @ your stupidity..........and if you think that saying "im gonna get me a white man" is gonna piss me off.........all im gonna say is ask me if I give a fuck.........youre not gonna like my answer.....

[ConsciousMinded1]

@ghost2101

No one said anything about getting a white man. Calm yourself, son. We'll just continue down this road as all. Y'all ain't seen nothing yet. We're talking total destruction. By the time the media is finished using black women who were left unsecured there won't be anything left of the black community but pimps and hoes. And everyone had a hand in it.

Understand for the majority of black men, will always mess with black women in some fashion and breed her. And more destructive kids.

[ghost2101]

@ConsciousMinded1

the establishment, the media, and bitter misandric BW have been in it to destroy BM for years, yet hes still going.........question is can BW withstand the same punishment?

[ConsciousMinded1]

@ghost2101

Naw she's unraveling right in front of your eyes. That's what happens to unprotected women left out there for wretched creatures to feast on. That's why the white man made sure his well protected. He knows the importance of her womb.

But sadly for black women, that's not her reality. She wasn't blessed with these type of men. But for this, she will be devoured. And will spread misery to all around her. Y'all can't go anywhere in MASS numbers.

[ConsciousMinded1]

And the CHILDREN will have to suffer. An unhealthy paranoia mind raising the next generation. One who despises black men bearing other black men who she won't raise properly to be adequate mates for any woman. See how this game goes, babe?

SHE'S GONNA BURN THIS HOUSE DOWN!!!!!

All that's gonna be left of the black community are PIMPS and HOES.

Sure glad you jumped shipped awhile ago. You don't want to witness whats coming. It won't be pretty.

[ghost2101]

@ConsciousMinded1

the BW insisted for the BM to step off when she got brainwashed by feminism or "womanism" as yall like to call it.............furthermore BW insisted on running to men who INSIST on hurting them..........they INSISTED on lighting themselves on fire..........who am I nor any other steady headed progressive BM to get in the way? heck you even cursed @ me when I tried to take the matches away from you.....logical BM are not in it to save those who dont wanna save themselves....

[ConsciousMinded1]

@ghost2101

LMAO. You guys don't get it. There is NO leaving the black woman. You're BORN from her. Some men may be able to leave but in MASS numbers no one wants or deals with a black man so you'll either be without proper mates or you'll be in relationships you didn't want to be in but were the lesser of the two evils. The MAJORITY will still be with these self destructive women. Helping her is helping yourself. If she' aint well...NO ONE IS well. THE WRATH OF THE BLACK WOMAN! You'll see...

[ConsciousMinded1]

@ConsciousMinded1

I'm mad you're admonishing us for running to men who "insist upon hurting us" but you guys are basically saying if we want to be shown, we need the white man to do it. Dang shame...men who accept not being able to do for theirs and actually sending you into the Lion's den...

Tell me, do y'all feel very manly? Don't you feel the shame from letting black women down? She has to go to the "enemy" to eat.

Tell me, what are you all good for?

[ConsciousMinded1]

If you want to oversimplify this situation by saying it's a rap video and black women are uspet that they're not hired to "shake their asses" be my quest. But understand black men need to understand something. Media is powerful. And whenever it's used against us, it's to carry out a plan. To convey a certain message. And it's clear as day what that message is when you don't show African women. Now you guys say you don't have the power. Ok then, what can you do right?

[ConsciousMinded1]

(cont) but don't you dare say it's just us needing validation. Understand for EVERY group their women are shown. Understand that its only when it comes to black women does this happen. And it happens to boost other peoples self esteem and to tell the world we're not anything worth holding up. It's bad enough the white man doesn't show us on his regular stations, but now black men don't or aren't allowed to and yet we can't feel any type of way about that. If we say it's not right...

[ConsciousMinded1]

In essence you're telling us we need to go to the white man to be shown. Ok well if that's how its got to be that's how it has to be. But understand that is not you guys doing your job and get that if one has to go outside to get any type of help, then know that another person is doing your job and you'll never get the respect from the women.

[ConsciousMinded1]

Also, if you wish to be so flippant about you guys SHOWCASING other women and putting them above us, then understand why black women could GIVE TWO about your gripes of her choosing a thug or how she views you. It goes both ways. If you can't show you're down for her IN EVERY WAY, just like all other men, then don't expect to receive the adoration other men get from their women. It's more than a video.

[ConsciousMinded1]

After all these years are being placed at the bottom, you guys have joined in on doing so whether you realize it or not. And everything you guys get from black women, you've earned. Men who say they're unable to do what most men do for their women need not complain about the lack of RESPECT and FAITH black women have in them. History has shown BW you're unable to do whatever to make sure she's secure. Just another example. Keep thinking it's about a video.

[ghost2101]

@ConsciousMinded1

what did you say back when BW were cast in these videos? I remember when tip drill came out BW wouldnt stop bitching and whining about being objectified in videos........and now that BW arent being used like they used to, now thats a problem too? which is it BW?

[ConsciousMinded1]

Why feature a black woman in a song called Tipdrill? It was a song DEGRADING women saying their faces weren't what's up. Why draw on that example? Do u guys really not see you're being USED to promote the idea tthat black women aren't worthy? Again, what about songs where it's more romantic? Why not a song like, "Do You" by Neyo or "You make me better" by Fabolous. You guys are full of it. How is it that the big stars aren't able to feature black women yet Lyfe Jennings was able to?

[ghost2101]

@ConsciousMinded1

Remember Mos Def's song Ms.Fat Booty? or Ice Cream by Raekwon? Were you listening to "brown skin lady" by blackstar (even though a vid was never made)? or how about Come close by common?  And what do you have to say about the shit I said in the end of this video, or are you just so focused on the fact that I think its ridiculous youre crying over not being in a damn rap video?!?!

[ConsciousMinded1]

@ghost2101

HAHA yes, yes...it's all about a rap video right? LOL

You've lost the battle because you can't see what your opponent is doing. You lost the battle and you've lost black women.

NO RESPECT.

[ghost2101]

@ConsciousMinded1

wow, you failed to respond to the other shit i asked you............epic fail on your part....

[ConsciousMinded1]

and happens to NOONE else, we're insecure and dying to shake our bootys as if there aren't Love interest roles we can be in. Think of Neyo's video, "Do You". Matter of fact the booty shaking videos are the ones where you'd have your dark skinned girl in...just not showing her face.

Understand that until you guys stand up for black women and start showing them, they'll never respect you because to them and everyone else, You love to parade non black women.

[ghost2101]

@ConsciousMinded1

on a general scale, give BM a reason to stand up for BW on TV when BW have been denigrating BM in the media for years upon years (TV, magazines, various movies and books)............then again, yall already do.........you have steve harvey and michael eric dyson........the only BW ive seen that stand up for BM was farai chideya and sharazad ali............and that was back in the 90s.....

[ConsciousMinded1]

@ghost2101

Ok you're right. Let's all continue on down this road. You don't stand up for us because we've been disloyal and flapping our gums to everyone who'll listen. And we we'll continue to do what we've been doing. Should get us to a positive destination in the future. Right? LOL

Understand that until you guys revolt and do right by the black woman, everything you think about will fail. NEVER will you get respect for DERELICTION OF DUTY.

[ghost2101]

@ConsciousMinded1

we already revolted sweetheart.........the true strong BM are cutting out and excluding the BW who refuse to show respect to any BM who isnt selling drugs, thugging it out, ballin out or stuntin with rented jewls and cars in rap videos....not to mention the BW's own refusal to do what she could do to create and maintain a solid family....a lot of you were dead weight and we had to drop 70% of you..........you wanted to go it alone and have an attitude? you got your wish...

[ConsciousMinded1]

@ghost2101

LMAO. Alright Bet. Don't let me hold up. Go on with you bad selves. :)

Revolt away.

[ghost2101]

@ConsciousMinded1

just dont cry about our revolt next time you talk to the newscasters, oprah or essence magazine..........its gotten quite annoying and were trying to forget about 70% of you all.....were not trying to be reminded of dead weight........we got rid of it for a reason....

[ConsciousMinded1]

And for black women that's betrayl. It's not about a video. It's about you're inability to hold her up and protect her from like other men do for their women. I don't see Latin men featuring black women in their videos. I don't see Latin women having you guys star as their love interest but you guys feel its ok and that black women shouldn't complain about YOU NOT BEING THERE FOR HER. You GOING ALONG with the program with your self centered and dismissive comments.

[ConsciousMinded1]

Its only because you're shown do you not care. If it was like it was back in the day when black men would make an album and they'd slap a WHITE face on it, I'm sure you guys would be singing a different tune. Even if you couldn't do anything about it, I'm sure you'd understand it isn't just about a damn video or shaking ass.

Until you guys find some type of way to rectify this, black women will continue to look down on you. It's just another INSTANCE showing us that you guys cannot do for them.

[ConsciousMinded1]

White women need to be plastered all over the place. On top of that they also are sneaking into your videos. They are the main targets as far as buying and the reason they are featured is to make them feel wanted by black men. Just like the tweens for BackStreet Boys and all the other boybands. Unlike them, we're barely on television and now nowhere in YOUR videos, and yet we're not allowed to even feel bad about that? What good are black men good for if all they say is, "We can't help you"?

[The10men]

Yeah. It's pretty sad that you have a group of girls that want to be video girls now.

I can't believe that some of these girls want to be exploited in some of these rap videos.

[Mhendeb]

When I hear Black Women complain about petty stuff like that, I end the conversation and walk the other way. Because the girl clearly has not substance. Sadly, that's a lot of Black Women today.

[DaGrimm1]

Ghost....

You have to remember that when these ankles talk about "black men", they're not talking about brothas like us.

They're talking about the ones that they're attracted to.

If you don't give these ankles "gina tingles", then you don't exist to them.

And if you make yourself known, they'll be wishing that you didn't exist.

Either way....

FUCK THEM.

[rep5281]

I don't even bother to flirt with these little girls. They already have enough simps boosting their egos. I let them come to me.

[southsideroy]

You cant victimize yourself and be "stroooooong" at the same time.

[impervious2000]

I hate these narcissistically malevolent hoes. In the streets, u cant get the time of day with these diva pretending whores if u are not an affluent nigga. Hell, thats discrimination. So why should we give a fuck about them being disregarded when it comes to these videos. im suppose to feel bad for a bitch because she wasnt chosen to be in some video to shake her ass....BITCH PLEASE

[theincandescent1]

Why do some Black women keep expecting white people to show the world the entire spectrum of Black beauty? It is never going to happen and don't expect some rapper to do it because he is an employee. If you don't control the means of production then you have no say over what is produced. Stop waiting for white people to change. Until Black people can distribute their own music on a major level we will keep seeing mulatto, latin, and white women exalted over Black women in music videos.

[BigBossCAL83]

@theincandescent1, That the truth! But these same females don't want invest in anything a man does on the come up.

They want it now and have something for nothing, and have success and ownership that ain't theirs. Typical 'GOLD DIGGING,' from these Ankles.

[hastious]

Those same dark skin sistaz did not want anything to do with dark niggaz like me 17 years ago.
