  • GREAT interview/study. I'd love to see something simular about Black Americans vs African Immigrant students. The polarization that seems to exists between these 2 groups. I've know ALOT of African Immigrants from the Caribean Islands/Africa ... they tell me quite often about the lack of coheasion or mutual understanding that is lacking between these folks & Black American students. A cultural divide that more often then not causes a friction between them. Might be another intresting topic.

  • im black and go to a mostly white school ..and they dont talk about light skin dark skin

    im just black to them lol

  • Dark skin won ! Lol

  • 1:50 is not light at all.

  • @AdrianGordon1231 i agree with you on that.. she's just brown skinned

  • So sad & divisive. No matter how light or dark you are, you are still black. The same goes true for the good hair/bad hair thing.

  • 5:31 When I was young I wanted them to look like me, more ya know, nice hair nice skin.

    Nappy hair with a cowlick and acne.... Yea nice hair, nice skin.

  • Somebody get me Kelly willett no...PLEASE!!!!!lol

  • This is really nice.

  • Very well done.

  • Excellent Job!

  • regardless of shade, you're still black when the sun rises and sets.

  • petty!!! dark , light ,black as night, purple, red, green , yella, orange , snow white  whatever its not going to change anything ..your still BLACK!!

  • this has to be a southern thing. NO ONE ever talks about light skin and dark skin bs on the east coast. that's some plantation mentality right there. southern negroes still on the plantation.smdh

  • @Chas0x01 Sorry Chas, but this is a all coast thing. I am from the East Coast but haved lived in many cities and colorisim is ingrained within the African American race all over. I went thru this ignorance in the 50's, and today 2012 my Grands tell me some of their peers are picked on because they are dark or light. If you don't believe me check out most of the rap videos beause you rarely see dark skin women in them maybe one or two token.

  • @Chas0x01 cont- Better yet...check out a interview that Ne Yo did in which he said light skin children are prettier than dark skin and this fool is dark. Sadly...this trend stills exsist.

  • I wouldn't judge these people so harshly if I were some of you. They answered me honestly when I asked them questions, even though they know it was not the "right " answer. Some of you think just like some of them, but will not admit it here. Just some food for thought. :)

  • @kdmofo you are so right! most of the videos that you find on this subject will either be mean, or filled with people telling us what they think we want to hear so they dont look bad. But these people gave there full on no BS honest opinion, while staying at an educated state of conversation during the interview.

  • why do you ask a ugly, fat white women opinion?

  • @ageniusx187 Go get a life!!!

  • @Ashleyblakeney drop dead,stanky azz

  • @ageniusx187 Whatever u fool!!

  • @ageniusx187 Because she gave a intelligent answer like most of the students. I was proud of all even if I did'nt agree. with all

  • @chechechance but why would you ask question about shades of black to a fat white bitch?

  • It's weird how all me and all my white friends never EVER stop talking about getting a tan...all we want to do is get darker skin so as not to have white pale skin! Yet blacks are complaining about their skin tones!! Humans... we will never be happy no matter what we are!!

  • @MrJimmyjojo such bad grammar! LMAO

  • My people my people.im so sad for us.

  • very interesting, thank you!

  • They like light skin because they have the genes of slavery in them.. plain and simple. But guess what, I dont care how many light women they like, or home many light guys they like, the can NEVER be white like they want to be. LOL

  • @xg832 correction 'how many'...not 'home many'.

  • @MrJimmyjojo Thanks for the correction my English teacher! Now I know why I dropped English as a BA degree LMAO!!!!!!! hahahahahahah

  • Like that guy in the beginning, when all you can discuss at a college is skin tone, you should not be in college. You should go back in time to slavery! He is clearly ignorant and his friends who "joke" around about skin tone. Stupid black dude!

  • this is ridiculous.. i am black and have never been more ashamed in my life... we discriminate against OURSELVES?????!!! no wonder our dumb asses were slaves so long. blacks couldnt stand up to whites if they themselves were divided... this is true ignorant.. i am so disgusted right now.

  • @TotallyTommie you are so right

  • wow  its the first time that a hear about skin color discrimination between black people

  • when I dated BW I preferred dark BW, but would often hear..ur too dark! Im dating WW now and being too dark seems to be working in my favor...weird!

  • Note: how noone has a preference for dark skinned women in this video

    so much brainwashing

  • Comment removed

  • Black women look way better without weaves just like that girl in the beginning but yeah whether you dark or light, it doesn't matter. My Tibetan friend loves black women of all shades.

  • one of the girls said i had people come up to me and said they don't like me because i'm light skin. where is this girl light skin at? She's clearly not. Ugh.

  • The girl that i would say is light skinned is the girl with the big earrings and short haircut in the beginning. That girl with the glasses at 1:51 is NOT LIGHT SKINNED. This is the major problem in tha black community. People self proclaiming theyre light just because theyre not jet black wtf.

  • @LanaLove23

    exactly its always some brown skin person that thinks they're light.

  • Part 1

    First I want to make it clear that none of us has a right to determine our birth. We didn’t choose to be white, black, Asian or something else however miscegenation/race mixing is the worst thing that happen to black people.

  • Part 2

    The creation of mulattos or biracial people complicated the struggle of black people for equality and justice! Why? because white people didn’t want to accept black people so they started mingling their blood with black people and created a new offspring like Beyonce, Obama, W.E.B Dubois to name a few.

  • @MrEwnet please stop saying beyonce is biracial just because a lot of you

    Guys have a problem when a black women is beautiful!

    It's fucking annoying that because she's pretty all of a sudden

    She's some how mixed with white!! Obama is of mixed heritage.

    Beyonce doesn't have a white mother nor does she have a white father!

    So on every account she is a black woman.

    Besides this a lot of blacks in the usa have a mix in them,

    white people also. But if both your parents are black

    You are BLACK!fact

    Part 2

    We all are humans but we look different. So naturally all races have their own way of evaluating attractiveness but unfortunately colonization and race mixing complicated this process.

  • @happystar8081 Beyonce is consider Creole another group of people who think they are better than dark skinned people(not her) She was on the Tyra Banks show one day and talked about how some people in her family don't like dark skinned people...She does not believe this but some her family members do.

  • Part 5

    Individuals that maintain their pure black physical appearance are discriminated against not only by white people but also by mullatos or biracial people as well. Brain washed black people with white heads are the worst prejudice, particularly those that are ghettoish and gangster looking once.

  • The guy at 1:22 is cute! Hehehe

  • a lot of these students are saying their light skinned but to me their not

  • Dark Skin girls are the same color as the Queens in Africa not light skin girls

  • Great Story! I too am guilty of being color struck. A lot has to do with parenting too. Now that I'm older I find myself revisiting a lot of views that were instilled in me and changing them to what I feel is right.

  • skin color is not a preference black people. What if a white person said that they dont really like dark skin, people would be outraged. what was more scary is that these kids were at a college were they are suppose to be getting educated. But the comments that passed as preference seemed like prejudice to me I don't think people even know the difference anymore.

  • I really wish us black people would wake up and accept ourselves for who we are. Black comes in all shades and they're ALL beautiful. I'm light skinned, my mom is caramel colored, and my sister is really browned skinned. I love them for them and not their skin tone. My mom hates the light skinned vs. dark skinned issue.

  • 1:53 She's light?

    "All colors...most sizes" LOL Well atleast he's honest!

  • 5:33 Nice skin w/ all your acne?

  • Don't limit your options to just "Black American Men". No, I do not believe in dating within the Black Race. What does that mean anyway? Black Americans are mixed anyway. Regardless of a persons "color" accept invitations outside the black community. My husband treated me like royalty and we've been together for 10 years. He approached me with respect and patience. No, he is not Black.

  • @BlackAmericanIndia You are a vile traitor, throwing away your bloodline. Don't use any excuses to hide the fact you're trying to disconnect from the black race.

  • Sorry. Black American men can be attractive to whoever they want. Be it lightskin long-real hair (loose curls not kinky 4A or 4B textures). I am the darkest child among my siblings, yet I got over the color issue when I met darker skin beautiful people from other parts of the world.

  • black is not a femenine color, is more masculine. 

  • I may crack jokes but I love my dark skinned men as well as my red men=]

  • Respond to this video... here in africa men f*** with light skinned girls and marry dark skinned girls!!!Its such a double standard!!!!maybe black women should stop lookin for approval from men!!you can only change yurself for so many damn people ,GOD!!!!!!!

  • The girl at 1:48 cant be serious! Her complexion looks about the shade of a paper bag maybe a little darker, where is she light skin?! On her palms and bottom of her feet???? She need to take a gander in the mirror #imjustsayin

  • martin luther king died for these people...

    im black and i refuse to use dark skin, light skin its ignorant your black or your not

    choose complexion is not race some white people are pink or tan naturally thats their skin black people in america and other places need to grow up. some people are jealous of others beauty and because their lighter they use that to say their more beautiful . pure bullshit.

  • 2:49 she's cute!

  • I'm White; my supervisor is Black. She is dark skinned, and she is one of the most beautiful women I know. She is elegant, dresses beautifully, and is very professional- she shows no preference for any race; she just judges us on how we perform.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Please, can't we get past this stupid idea of an "ideal" human? Humans are humans, no matter what shades we are.

  • @machikoneko ur a dirty nigger lover,u should be ashamed of urself,i caught my gf fucking a nigger now i hate them all,damn niggers

  • @ani1616 Your gf went out and slept with a black guy because your skin complexion and retarded brain repelled her. You are a no good doer evil trash in flesh. Stupid snow white’s like you run around and raped all beautiful black women. You did that because you were uncomfortable about your ugly looking skin and that why you fry your devilish skin on the hot sun 24/7.

  • @ani1616 In my experience the majority of intelligent people of all races Black, White or Asian treats people with dignity and respect however Ignorant trash people with low self esteem are the one that are prejudice. 

  • @ani1616 im a black girl =) why dont u come here with ur dirty mouth and whip me master =) hang me by my neck and burn me.. mm so good. i want u to beat the shit out of me! spit on me! call me all the bad names u want.. ahh im turning myself on.. my bf is white. weve been together for over a year.. and i get off on him talking to me like that so keep it up baby. u just keep that shit up.. mmm yummy master =)

  • @ani1616 damn, grow up

  • Like omg I love her chanel glasses(;

  • Who are the two idiots that disliked this video? They must be insecure of their skin tone!

  • wow that fat black guy is so dark he looks indigo blue black people are supposed to be shades of brown skin

  • 2:41 jheezzz on tha left sexay

  • I really liked this documentary. But there's something that I always noticed with AA people. When women are asked what they prefer, most of the time its darker complexioned men, but when you ask the men, its either "Oh, I like light skinned girls" or "I usually talk to light skinned girls but I won't pass a sister up either." Its always the same argument.

  • Guess what Black folks are still enslaved! The chains are off your hands and feet, but your mind is chained up!!! White people did such a wonderful and complete job on us; they don't even have to be around and white supermancy is in tact...working like a charm. We collaborate with our oppressor in our own oppression at a great black school getting such a fantastic "mis-education of the Negro." Oh talking about skin? what about all the relaxed, process hair? Ha Ha What a Joke!

  • @hetheru But yet white people do the same thing with getting tans,bigger butts,lip injectiobs,and dreadlocks.So are they still enslaved ?

  • Great vid...that girl at the end had a great voice but she needs to learn more vocal control...

  • GREAT video!

  • And thats why blacks are always at the bottom of society! they are more racist among themselves than others towards them, how are they supposed to overcome with that mentality! Where I lived as a child there was a saying that "black is against black" once you resolve that issue things can get better

  • I think that the lady around 5:17 is cute.

  • @Thedarksecret1 Hell yeah. She is the sexiest one in the whole video.

  • i like em all... its whts on the inside u should b weary of

  • I think some people are trippin..black people hung out in my school who all looked different..now yeah some are ignorant but I never witnessed a whole lot of it..and skin dolor don't have a damm thing to do with somebody hair texture

  • 1:48 thats lighrt skin?? hahahha dream on

  • @elenavlada Well, she certainly isn't dark skinned. Yeah, she's not the lightest but she's sure in the light skinned category.

  • @elenavlada She's not the lightest of the lighter tones in people of African decent. But, she's definitely in the "light skinned" department. She could be considered brown skin, but that all depends on your own definition. Most people consider someone like Gabrielle Union as brown skin, and someone like Queen Latifah as being the "darker" side of "light skinned." *sigh* All of this is a bunch of mess to seperate us and sadly we've bought a lot of stock in it.

  • ooh la la, I want to rub mayonnaise all over that fat white chick and lick it off of her. Just joking! HA HA HA

  • Do this nigga got on a dog chain?

  • dark skin is gorgeous I quite envy some of there complexions cuz they have a gorgeous even tone and there skin is flawless but there is beauty in every shade of person

  • The men are lying. Blk women tend to go for darker men....I don't get it. But the men look for light

  • ..Until Blacks as a whole learn to deal with what was done to us and learn to love themselves instead of sweeping their problems under a rug using alcohol, drugs, sex, self degradation, bling, Cadillacs, clothes, shoes, rims, hating upon each other to cover and conceal the pain, humiliation and helplessness that has been passed down through each generation-we will never regain any semblance of self love or self worth. People who love themselves don't hurt other people.

  • Racism and colorism is so ignorant it is not even funny! This needs to stop. So sad

  • Virginia is the cradle of slavery, yes.......people there are still so color struck..I have friends who blame their bad decisions in life on their color, especially if they are dark......their divorces, career mishaps, choice of bad friends and lover always comes back to color..........

  • Virginia is the cradle of slavery, yes.......people there are still so color struck.

  • dark skin men is soo fine...well some of them.lol

  • 05:26 this girl is fine, fine , fine fine .

  • This is some sad shit

  • Black people have always been like this.

    Dating back to slavery

  • This is a brilliant short documentary

  • This is a brilliant short Docu touchining briefly the issues we have in our community. I live in the UK and the same situation. I wasn't at all surprised by by the answers people gave regardinging skin preference.

    3 days ago I was with some friends for her childs naming ceremony @ her mothers house (Predominantly dark skinned Nigerians) with my 3 yr old daughter and commented on her dark and light skin doll (that i made for her as none in store) saying that the lighter one was more acceptable.

  • @Naturalnubiansister9

    Well you would have thought that as 90% of Nigerians are dark/black skinned and you've not experience what my ancestors went through in the west that people wouldn't have such a mind set. Perhaps because a lot of Africans are now living in the UK they are being exposed to lighter skinned black people and taking up that strange attitude. 

  • @lovethecaribbean1

    I wasn't too surprised when the comment was made about my daughters doll as the people who made the comment were my friends who over the years have become more westernised. I know thier comments were due to being brought up and influenced by western society and from thier own experiences of others commenting on thier skin tone.

  • this was really well produced. Big ups to Hampton! :) I went to UVA, so I have to have some love for my VA unis.

  • THE FAT WHITE GIRL LOOKZ LYKE PETER GRIFFIN LOL!!

  • At 5:03 is that dude wearing a dog collar and dog tag?

  • Light skin to me is white.

    The hefty white girl says she has no preference and so does the fat black guy.

    If you give an Ethiopian a steak...

  • 1:54 is not light skinned. Who is this girl fooling?

  • @yak6ex

    She is light skinned you've got to remember she is in doors look at the blackness of her glasses and compare that with her skin tone.

  • this to me is so weird coming i'm from Nigeria. Best thing about being black, a shared race, a heritage, a religion, its fun to share to be a community. It makes no sense to really have this debate about a tone of a skin? just repeat that to yourself you see how i find this so dumb. Maybe this is a downfall of having a country with different people living in it. You find the dumbest things to fight over.

  • @hco323 Welcome to america where you could witness any type of buffoonery imaginable!!

  • Im sorry but I HOLLERED when that boy said he wanted a girl with nice hair/skin like him. I mean his face alone was composed of numerous shades, and that acne was not the tea. But gon head for the confidence!

  • @BuffyunaTV I think that guy was gay he never metion a girl when he was being interviewed. He was talking about how he wanted a guy that looked like him.

  • @BuffyunaTV lol yea, u right!!!

  • @BuffyunaTV me too...lol

  • I'm half pakistani and half jamaican, you cant really see my indian side,

    but yeh i have lovely goldish brown skin.

    personally i like light skin girls for some reason i just find them more attractive,

    most famous women are light skinned, you get a few like kelly rowland, but look how much more attention beyonce gets compared to her.

    I think that dark skin girls like dark men because in most cases they will feel alienated, if they dated a light guy.

    anyways this is a great video, god bless

  • @SuperPSTutorials not really, some dark skin girls like dark skin men because they are more attractive.

  • the best people balck all the world

  • btw this fat white girl ogly as helll!!!

  • @brownheartxxx i bet you are ms universe!!!

  • it's not about skin colour, it's about beauty!

    stop doing a genocide of real chocolate/dark-skinned black ppl because if we dont stop, soon we will die like chocolate/dark-skinned brothers and sisters in south-america…i know the white person very much wants this!!

    Interracial relationships and mixed/light-skinned is devils sh’t!

    born dark-skinned black stay dark-skinned black!

    ONLY BLACK LOVE!

  • stop eat all this bullshit by white/jews tv and media like all brothers are gays/homos, preference only white and fake azz mixed/light-skinned girs....this propagation for us that to destroy strong, talented, chocolate/dark skinned black race! PLS BLACK PPL WAKE FUCK UP!

  • hello

    i love Y avrey balck women amireca is nice for me but now am living in isreal and i need marred jest black ? why am balck

  • The Africanist replies. If Black people of America continue to judge each other on skin tone complexions, they are ridiculous and also may possess an inferiority complex ingrained since the Slavery era. Grow up! Get over it! Dark-skinned, light-skinned, medium-skinned is all Black O.K.!!!

  • @amasonga PERFECT COMMENT I AGREE WITH YOU 100%

  • @mddarch Whites pick their employees according to character & matching idealogy, they just 'so happen' to be mainly white employees. Blk men just happen 2alwaysb subordinates in these situations, just like dark blk women just happen 2b less 'compatable' in comparison to women that are lighter than she is. 'blk women rep slavery &white women freedom' eldridge cleaver-souls on ice.

    written 40plus yrs ago-true to this day. Peace

  • @mddarch Picking ppl according to color is not hard to believe, look at all forms of media where black women are being erased and replaced by latinas & white women. If you benefit from the system, for ex. whites benefiting in a white infrastructure, you can say 'I've blk friends, its not about race' bc their on top. Blk men adopt this convient oblivion regarding complexion.

  • @mddarch When you look at african american families the majority of us have fathers that are notticably darker than our mothers, something else outside of compatiability is going on or are dark women incompatable with no one?: This compatability st8 down color lines is echoed through out videos and all other forms of media and in the real world, if a man is a deep brown you can count on him being paired with a very light woman, something else is going on

  • @mddarch I don't mean any disrespect to you, but are you serious????

  • @mddarch Alot has changed in 4generations, once a slave of a white woman, blk men now have so much more in common w/ her(especially when he's financially sucessful) compared to the black woman who has historically always stood by his side. Go figure. I think black men should do what they please, I love black men and I wouldn't want a black man that wanted a white woman anyway; so we all have a preference.

  • @mddarch I don't think men that like white women like light blk women and I'm sure I didn't post that. Psychologically a majority of men who do like light women is bc in the back of their mind she is genetically closer to a white woman. Lightskin women now are merely the jump off for some blk men who can now have a full fledged white women w/o being hung.

  • @mddarch In ancient times dark skin was preffered period, bc those having it were considered more; spiritual/moral/beautiful/inte­lligent. White supremancy changed the standard of beauty & made it its own & also made men of various races think that wanting a white woman has nothing to do w/ you being a subjugated race and everything to do w/ you having more in 'common' with a white woman.

  • @mddarch There is a three volume book called sex and race which documents from ancient times to around the 60's the preference of complexion with regards to choosing a mate. Globally, dark women were prized above all else, white women who worked as prositutes or who were captured in harems nearly starved bc they were percieved as unhealthy & unnatractive.

  • A lot of people on this video that claim they're light skinned aren't even light skinned SMH.

  • people of different color and shades are only going to be to truly treat each other with time, and A LOT of time. if you think of how long things have been desegregated in this country, it is so small since the beginning of society as we know it.

  • Most black women, in my opinion, prefer dark men, it is unfortunate that the only woman that seems alienated from him is the darkskinned woman. I thought it was so telling of the one guys comment that lightskinned women were home and darkskinned women were a vacation- but I got love for them all. Please. If men saw women as women & not complexion, our families wouldn't be structured w/ the father, on average, being darker than the mother.

  • @TheSKYizFalling Good observation. I think you're absolutely right

  • @kdmofo BECAUSE BLACK MEN ARE RACIST. they down BLACK WOMEN CONSTANTLY AND UPLIFT LIGHT WOMEN. its a shame, but dont forget what goes around can ALWAYS COME BACK.

  • @ScholaroftheDay21 bullshit!!!
