Are There Still Color & Hair Issues Within the Black Community?

   i'm speaking broadly here. no need to chime in saying NOT ME NOT ME.

overall, do you think people still trip over light skin/dark skin?

does the Good & Bad Hair debate still rage on like the Spike Lee "School Daze" skit?

being a shade browner than alotta folks, i'd always joke that light skinned dudes aint been in style since '89.  but with Barack in the white house, will they make a comeback?

either take it lightly and come in here with some humor or get all philosophical on me and speak on it like Malcom Farrakhan.

Hey...   Move over and let me have some of those chips will ya.  Thanks. 

boy thats popcorn not chips lol

YEP...there is....I just got a comment the other day about me being "too dark"... even a  "friend" of mine refers to me as "milk chocolate"... when he called me that i was like WOW!!

its funny because as a kid i was a lot lighter than i am now so being called dark sometimes comes as a shock but its whatever cuz i love my skin complextion....

Simple answer-Yes.  Don't have time for a longer one cuz some of us gots work to do!

Yeah some people are still colorstruck.
I have a friend that before she talks about anyone, has to first describe their color. I always have to ask her what does that person being "milk chocolate" or "mocha" colored have to do with the story.

I had a guy over the weekend tell me that I'd be beautiful if only I was lighter. WTF?

exactly!! yeah i had an uncle who told me that... he was saying how pretty i was and that if only i was a "red bone" the guys would be chasin after me... once again i was like WOW

Yeah people R still color struck.  I guess it will never change. Left over from slavery.

Well as a "chocolate girl"  I haven't seen any BLATENT disrepect.   However people always find it interesting that I have fairly long hair.  Why can't my hair be long????? LOL
