JACKIE CHRISTIE JOINS THE DARK SKIN VS. LIGHT SKIN DEBATE!

http://www.carltonjordan.com/ I recently sat down with Basketball Wives: LA cast member Jackie Christie as she discussed a range of topics -- one mainly being the always sensitive topic of skin complexion in the Black community! Her publicist tried to shut me down! LOL!

@TRUTHdaAntagonist

I think white with maybe a quarter black

[TRUTHdaAntagonist]

what race is Doug Christie? Puerto Rican?

They don't really want to talk about the color complex issues in the NBA LOL please. Who are they fooling. If the players that are black men are dating a black woman most of the time they are light.Or a different race. You want to say that there is a problem among black people but not talk about it being in a sport that black people over run. maybe they just did not want to say it on video. But light skin and a whole lot of hair is ideal in the NBA.

@cchllover Beyonce, Common, Vanessa Williams yep they r light lots of white genes,

Drake, Alicia Keys, Obama all have a white mums they're almost white people. U dont have to be as pale as half white people to be considered light.

Jackies is darker than them but still on the lighter side about the same tone as a paper bag - if we must go there.

its 2012 the paper bag test is DEAD!, u dont have to measure people against racist rules that whites thought up to keep black minds oppressed

@Applebaum Jackie Christie may have lighter skin than Idris Elba, Gabrielle Union, Alek Wek, or Even Kelly Rowland, but if u put her next to the likes of Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Drake, Common, vanessa L. Williams or President Obama then she would not be considered to be light skin. If we were to do the age old "brown paper bag test" like they use to do back in the day, then she would not pass becuz her skin is darker than the paper bag, therefore she is not light skin. She is brown skin.

@AmandaKarin18 I must say .....Never in the neverest of nevers have I ever heard a Black man say.....

'I want a Black woman with jet black skin and short afro hair!'

Colourism is a huge problem for Black people. Please de-colonise your minds people out there!

[Applebaum]

@cchllover Preach!

Sadly BW have to deal with Colourism in part bcos of Sexism.

The main attirbute u have to posess as a woman in the western world is BEAUTY. BEAUTY=White, Thin, Long straight hair (pref blond) & if u are not, you'd better damn near that &Light skindid, curly wavey non-afro textured hair &the Blacker u r the further down the heirarchy u are.

BM are seen as the most sexually attractive type of man cos of the 'big dick/ strong black nigger' stereotype acquired during slavery.

[Applebaum]

Only cos someone is Mixed Raced (or Biracial) does not mean that they can not be racist of have racial issues.

delusions of grandure.

Most successful Black men choose women that are paler than them.
