The reason the African American males in the videos are of darker complexion is because the artist like Darker African American Males. I myself tend to date Lighter African American Women. Not because I don't love Darker skinned African American Woman but, because they remind me of my Grandmother and aunts who I love very much, and who Made, and make me feel loved. I've also dated lite skinned women who thought they were doing me a favor because they were lite. and I dumped their sick asses.

Black girls are on TV but half the time the media portray them as sluts. Look at lil kim, she aint no role model. nicki minaj she iight, but then again what message is she sending across? smh Maybe things will be different if aaliyah was around, cuhs she was pretty and wasnt exposing all her shits on TV. smfh. Life has changed, we need to accept that fact things aint this same no more and and as long as white folks call the shots in the media industry aint nothing gunna change.

[beatkidjay]

To be honest, when the rap videos were about dancing and partying, the sistas got their shine. Now that they are primarily about booty poppin, it's a no win proposition. Nelly got endless grief for swiping the credit card thru the sista's butt cheeks and it was actually her idea. It was tacky and disrespectful, but my point is they are either "degrading Black women" or "elevating Latinas and White women", so they are in a trick bag no matter what.

[ubergirliz1]

Just like Lil Wayne's song...."Beautiful black woman, I bet that bitch look better red." WTF. It's just sad. Smh.

[luvlyerdj93]

what you said about black men is very true except in Tyler Perry movies for some reasons

[maipai101]

@ 0:42 Amen I love Bollywood but damn those girls are bright as hell. Mix it up.

[TheNoleboo]

Check out Kanye new vid - Power. I find it so disrectful. He use the only two blk women in the vid depicting the devil (wearing horns) and the main female character is white and it's potrayed as an angel (wearing wings). Now when they "ocassionally"use blk females, they normally use blk females with "white-like" facial features or a mixed blk. But in this vid they want every one to know that the devil characters were blk women so they have thick lips ect. I was soo shock.

[TheNoleboo]

@TheNoleboo

Cont'd... In the song, he coats words like "We chillin wit them light-skin girls"; "this is a white man's world, we are the ones that are choosen"..... We blk people perpetuate this hatred and devaluation of our own kind. And I love you for your point on light-skin men. Cause we always talk about dark skin women being devalued but one would say light skin is suffering from the same. You are true to the bone ans you inspire me to want make vids and share my thoughts on this. Peace

[CerebralMadness]

@TheNoleboo omg I will check out the video..But I already knew he had issues when he said only video models could be bi-racials..he i sick in the head and into some satanic shit

[towanzaify]

@TheNoleboo The two black girls/ horned girls in the power video represent Isis and Hathor. The white girl with the wings represent Satan which is a Cherubim Angel with four wings. I am studying the types of angels and from what I gather Satan is a Cherubim.

[Liliworld627]

Its all just bogus. Blk wm are seen as turning their backs on blk men if she acknowledges men of other races too. I mean, its not just about colorism. Its always something when it comes to blk folks. We cant just be happy with our lives without having to answer for why we make the choices we make, even if its respectable. This society we live in is poisonous. Nevertheless, we have to learn to live in it. Man oh man, you would think that living in a free country that things would be easier. haaa

[CerebralMadness]

@Liliworld627 that's true

[90rashad]

@Liliworld627 hey don't try and turn it around. This woman was obviously telling the truth. We as black people have a problem, and we have this slave mentality, because we have been oppressed and mind programmed for so long. You are ignorant if you blame just black women. A black man statement.

[Liliworld627]

@90rashad I think you didn't completely understand my comment which was clear, but nonetheless thanks for replying even though its been over a year since this post.

[90rashad]

@Liliworld627 really damn lol a year. !!!!!

[camthemancan]

I feel you on this video. I'm not a slut but I have been with all races ( I hate that term) at one time or other and they are all beautiful to me. I have never seen people split like black americans. I have heard the term "redbone" "yellow" "lilly white" etc. How could you ever judge a person on skin tone? But on that note, I have noticed that light skinned blacks seem to try to prove their blackness.

[wiggie666]

omg u are so rite sum how darker skin is considered masculine its soooo retarded u go girl!!!! love ur vids!!!

[CheezInspector]

Mixed feelings about this. I don't like to see ANY women objectified the way the media does to a lot of the White or mixed race women. So we have to understand what the struggle is about. It would be great to see darker people represented in a respectful manner, and dark people of both genders represented as attractive and tasteful more often.

[MrsBlackandBeautiful]

This is an amazing video. You should delve into the white supremacy aspect and how it fuels colorism.

[gmcmim]

I think a lot of dark men don't really want to stick up for the discrimination of light men in videos is because when light men were in they did not speak up for dark ones who were being discriminated against back in the 80s & 90s. Which is quite understandable. But we really need to stop the nonsense of which skin-tone is more "attractive."

[jianniestrong]

This video is the truth!!!

[CerebralMadness]

@jianniestrong thank you I hope you share it with others :-)

[rggarrett007]

didn't you know that the secret society of the illuminati controls what goes out over the media and entertainment TV. They are constantly trying to steal and destroy our culture fromwithin. They know we are a chosen people and they hate that. Hebrew israelites are a very diverse people.

[AffameCochon]

ixjchingxi has a video called "Another Shade: Asian American Self Perception"

He did a similar experiment with the dolls; fast-forward to 6:30.

[CerebralMadness]

@AffameCochon I will check that out

[BelTriniCurls]

thank you!

[Yahokhanan]

Darker males in videos make these light skin singers "Stand-out"... Plus they don't want to have two light-skin people together and seem like they favor their own color only..

[Yahokhanan]

What's funny is that beautiful darker actresses from the 1990's and Y2Ks (well.. Darker than Halle) have been linked to white males in Hollywood...So I can't cry for them.. Some of them have the same problem as the brothers..and they still cannot get roles from the white suits in Hollywood. I won't mention any names.

[Yahokhanan]

Plus, these actress from that time period who are linked to white males, play sooo hood or "down"..lololol. Then, they make a movie about interracial love acceptance.. Still, the Hollywood Suits gave Halle, Jennifer Lopez all the "urban roles"...

[CerebralMadness]

@Yahokhanan half of hollywood known actress are not really dark when was the last time you have seen a woman almost grace jones color uplifted?

[Yahokhanan]

@CerebralMadness

I haven't, but I'm not excluding those in-between either... And if some of these actress were in the sun more than an hour..outside of their cars, homes, and studios, they'd be nearly as dark.. Not to mention the lightening make-up and bleaching of the skin that could be going on..

[CerebralMadness]

@Yahokhanan but it wouldn't be their "natural" color it came from a tan also being medium brown we can appear light and darker depending on the lighting in some of my videos I look real pale due to the lighting..Also I saw something on tv once, the stars get this spray make up on you can even take a shower and it doesn't come off so if they want to change their skin tone or cover marks they do this thats why their skin looks so perfect with no marks and even.

[quietgirl0590]

in one of letoya luckett's videos she has a light skin man in it ( will demps who is half asian)

[CerebralMadness]

@quietgirl0590 I love that man he will be in my upcoming sexy men countdown

[Yahokhanan]

A great deal of brothers only care for chocolate women if their body is incredible.. Look at some of these chocolate booty models in these HipHop magazines.. They have to have "super junk in the trunk..".

[Yahokhanan]

@CerebralMadness Someone has to tell these sisters that they are attractive early in life..Whether they are dark, fat, have big noses, big hands and feet..Kinky hair, or big lips, (I like big lips), or imperfect smiles.. They are basing their womanhood on the opinions of others early in life, and it starts with the parents and peers in school. Then a older lesbian comes along, and tells them how fine they really are, and game over..

[Yahokhanan]

@CerebralMadness

Saw a "couple" yesterday at the gas station near ATL.. One was in a dress, the other seemed to be in fatigues and boots.. They chocolate.. Made some business cards for a mixed one.. Turns-out they were for her "friend" (She never said "girlfriend".. She's overweight.. her "friend is chocolate..

[Yahokhanan]

Kayn.. Thinking like that is why Black folk cannot stick together in marriage, or anything else..lol

[Yahokhanan]

Darker brothers makes some sistas seem more "down fro the cause"..lolol, but they still perming/straightening their hair..lololol. Some of darker brothers will kill you for their lighter women, but darker sisters are left behind (unless they are "blazing hot" to them with a super behind". They got to know that their dark genes are so dominant that their daughters may be as dark as them...

[CerebralMadness]

@Yahokhanan I mentioned something like that in pt. 3 in a way I mean look at lil wayne he is colorstruck but has a daughter his complextion he is sending the wrong message to her

[Yahokhanan]

@CerebralMadness

In ATL, I'm seeing a few young chocolate sisters as lesbian couples.. Bad trend starting...That may not be all, but this what I'm seeing because of this dark=masculine brainwashing... Watching cartoons, all the villains were dark, or wore dark uniforms or costumes... Still, don't want to see 'em shaking their tail.. And no lack of representation should make folks flip like this..

[Yahokhanan]

BW keep loving these brothers who continue to listen to these rappers..lolol..

These radio stations... Stop listening to them.. the music is wicked anyway..

[MarquitaD111]

You pointed things out I didn't even notice about the music videos. I never notice they were not putting light skin men in music videos,and I can't think of a video with a light skin man playing a major role in one. That's deep.

[CerebralMadness]

@MarquitaD111 I'm happy I opened your eyes to that :-) also the men they choose look scruffy sometimes I wonder if they have any say in their lead man..

[Istroumaboychris]

I dont know how it is other places but here in the South (Louisiana) where im at we've always had issues like this where people with light skin are look at as if we think were better then others or were to good to when the case was actually we were all the same the only problems where the ones made by assumption or being misinformed

[CerebralMadness]

@Istroumaboychris I think many people know about New Orleans my friend was talking to a guy from there before, he was asian of some kind and Creole well the minute she was on his phone to talk to his lil cousin for "the 1st time" instead of saying hello he asked her "are you darkskin" (she isn't)

[CerebralMadness]

@Istroumaboychris but she was in shock by that and it shocked me, a little boy already worrying about skin color It was messed up I wanted her to confront her man on it and find out where did he get that from but they broke up...I heard N.O is pretty colorstuck but that;s all over.. Well doesn't N.O have a rep for the blue vein society and all that other crazy stuff? I mean I know its the past but you know some still hold on to that crap

[CerebralMadness]

@Istroumaboychris some black people act like we are seperate species based on color it's dumb when so many of our familys are diverse..smh

[gmcmim]

I am glad you spoke up for the light-skinned males not being represented. My dad was light-skinned. He is deceased now. When I found out he died from getting ranned over I cried. I was not too sad because it has been years since I have seen him. But there was grief. Nice video.

[CerebralMadness]

@gmcmim Sorry to hear about your father

[gmcmim]

@CerebralMadness It's ok. Thanks for the response.

[nativemrv19722]

So true. White man has really fucked up black people from slavery down.If i had a music video are had the money do it . I would include every woman.

[CerebralMadness]

@nativemrv19722 :-) and make sure the video would be classy

[Rebekah7713]

Great video

[CerebralMadness]

@Rebekah7713 thank you :-)

[WildL23]

Thanks anyway. I'm not concern about being in a music video, the serious problem is this silly culture that wants the black man to just stfu and sit in the corner regardless of his life accomplishments. Yea right.

[WildL23]

But I understand why it is important to black women and I feel for you, I can see the pain in your soul in these videos.

[WildL23]

I'm not a woman, I don't care about not being in a music video. But what you can do for me ishelp me get a peaceful day for a change. And also people are trying to start this thing where the black man can't ever complain about anything. If anybody has a right to complain about something it is the black man. I can't go nowhere where I can't complain, lol, what am I staying there for.

[HoneySwtDrms]

... it's like they don't want to admit they find lighter skin black people attractive but they have NO problem pouring out their lust over White Men. It's sickening and oh so sad!

And ALOT of Black women have the same hang ups over Asian men. They find them "too feminine" and are openly bigoted against them and then have the nerve to complain about men who unfairly apply over-generalizing labels to black women!

[CerebralMadness]

@HoneySwtDrms you would think after all the movies showing how asian men can kick your ass women would see that they are manly lol j/k..but yeah I do think its nuts

[HoneySwtDrms]

*just finished watching it*

"And how can some women date a White man but not a Lightskin man"

Girrlllll you sound JUST like me!

To answer your question it's because they're bitter. Dark skin women are constantly being directly compared to Lightskin bw not White women (even though we're all compared to the White beauty standard). So many are more comfortable being attracted to men outside of their community (like White men) than lightskin men of their own community...

[HoneySwtDrms]

"why is it that in so many black men's video, she won't be black but in black woman's video, her man is always a dark skin black man?"

Because Black people (and everyone else in society) have been brainwashed into believing Dark Skin = Masculine

That works in favor for Black men but not Black women

Black women are so guilty of this. I think some believe being bias toward darker men means they love themselves more but it obviously just speaks to their hang ups on color

cont....

[cazyblood3]

for you cerebralmadness The red rose whispers of passion,

And the white rose breathes of love;

O, the red rose is a falcon,

And the white rose is a dove.

But I send you a cream-white rosebud

With a flush on its petal tips;

For the love that is purest and sweetest

[CerebralMadness]

@cazyblood3 ** kisses ** how sweet

[cazyblood3]

@CerebralMadness ur wel

[cazyblood3]

5**

[Jabbaro123]

Lol they don't put light skin men in there videos because they see them as homosexuals or they probably have some stupid jealous trip. In 2010 African Americans have really fell into the ways of there oppressors from the past and it's gonna take a while for them to see the light. The group of black people in this age are really letting this light vs dark crap mess with there minds and now we have brothers and sisters in power only uplifting you know who.

[CerebralMadness]

@Jabbaro123 thats crazy to me a lot of dark skin men are homosexual too lol..skin color has nothing to do with that..also Usher use to have black women in his back in the day now all of a sudden he stopped and Mario

[Jabbaro123]

I believe that the directors tell usher to just come to the set and don't worry because we have already picked the girl for your video. And mario is a talented artist but seems that mario just let's every thing slide now because he realizes that his peeps won't allow him to have full control over his career. And yeah a huge percentage of Dark skin dude's are gay because a lot of them hit on me and that's scary.
