So I was listening to one of my favorite Rapper, Sampa The Great. I was enjoying the music and then she said : >Great state I'm in (yeah) >In all states I'm in >I might final form >In my melanin
And now I'm wondering... Why do Black artist constantly worship melanin like it's diamond or something? You know what I'm talking about if you often listen to mainstream music. It's weird and it ruins the lyrics. Is that a marketing strategy targeted at Black females?
Another thread. I'm physically making some coffee and popcorn for this one.
Nathan Young
You're right, OP. Could you imagine the backlash if a white musician did the same thing?
Luis White
well since you actually asked in this thread
the purpose of this is so that young impressionable black people can appreciate the color of their skin in spite of what incels on the internet think
>but dark skin is ugly the tanning industry disagrees
Elijah Barnes
Because it's the only thing they have more of than wypipo. If I were a member of a race that has literally no culture to be proud of (outside of muh jazz and rock) I'd be reaching for straws too.
Matthew Torres
people who talk about what “their race” or “their culture” have done rarely have done anything themselves
Zuckerberg is much more proud of making Facebook than the HRE. You know, cuz he actually had something to do with that

>the tanning industry disagrees 99% of ads in Black Africa disagree, as well as the 70% of Black women in African cities like Lagos who often use skin bleaching products. youtube.com/watch?v=qf1pklfv_Ic
They’ve been oppressed and looked down upon because of the color of their skin. White people have long been the “kings” of the world, not for long though bye bye whities hello chocolate mamacitas!
Adam Ward
yeah that’s definitely not related to centuries of disdain of black people due to their skin, you realize both skin lightening and skin darkening are part of the cosmetic industry which makes profit off of people’s insecurities?
Not really a big brain observation that they would try and make people feel like they need their product to make their skin lighter/darker
Julian Collins
>mamacitas HEY STOP APPROPRIATING LATINX CULTURE YOU FUCKING SWINE
Julian Carter
yeah those people aren't white
Jackson Morales
>implying afro-latinxs don't exist the cultural erasure is strong with this one
Carson Hall
As a trans latinx lesbian woman I find your comments and evasiveness to be absolutely abhorrent. We have been oppressed for years by the white man, so it's always painful when filthy negroids do it too. STOP.
That kid looks like the white trash version of the guy from stranger things.

>Whites wish they were black Not really, they just copy and sanitize black culture
Austin Edwards
A primarily white culture will think a darker skin tone is more beautiful while a primarily dark skinned culture (Africa, and numerus asian countries) will think a lighter skin tone is more beautiful.
A bunch of scienteis have speculated that it might have something to do with being attracted to "exotic" people with the goal of mixing genes and getting stronger offspring with an improved immunesystem and a reduced risk of genetic diseases. And studies have shown that women will be more attracted to the pheromones of men from foregin countries.

you totaly PWNED those libs man! high five!

White latinos have been oppressing Black latinos forever.
I have a "Secrett" too and it's called "not being a nigger."
Elijah Johnson
Black people are constantly told they're ugly because of eurocentric colonialist beauty standards. Beauty is often associated with fair skin and blond hair, so it's natural they would take pride in their complexion and hair color since they're generally overlooked. The issue is so bad that some black people even bleach their skin, so artists uplifting that kind of phenotype is helpful, especially to young people who might have never been exposed to such views.
The reason why it's not the same if white artists do it it's that whiteness is already seen as the standard, it's already seen as beautiful.

U mad?
John Bailey
The newspaper shows published the series originally literally had to post a follow up statement about how shoddy and inconclusive his investigation was.
Ryder Jenkins
90% of contemporary American, black culture stems from a deep seeded persecution complex among African-Americans. Which is very understandable but tends to express itself through a sort of self-obsession and an 'us versus them' mentality. African-American culture will grow out of it some day but not until America is ready to see blacks as fully fledged people capable of taking control of their own lives and cultural expressions.
African-Americans are not former slaves.
Austin Reed
na buddy I'm having a great time
Xavier Morris
all of a sudden yall trust the establishment news
the issue with his *piece*, not his investigation, is that he insinuated that all levels of the CIA were aware of the drug trading, which is likely but not necessarily true.
everyone involved said the CIA is involved, that is without question. Be it foreign operatives, drug dealers, or drug dealing foreign operatives.
and the. he committed suicide by shooting himself twice in the head, yeah right
Jace Martin
At the end of the day, no one was forcing blacks to take crack. They're a self-destructive people that allowed themselves to fall victim to one of the nation's largest drug epidemics.
Nicholas Foster
This is why blacks need conservatism. Grow black business's in their areas, employ black people, promote traditional families and spread the wealth organically rather than through socialism.
Asher Russell
At the end of the day, the government was literally distributing cocaine to black neighborhoods and invented a new and more addictive compound (unless you want to give blacks credit for inventing something). To this day cops are getting caught planting evidence on black people, and they protect their own so we have no idea how many aren’t caught.
To ignore that factor is to be intellectually dishonest and I have no interest in conversing honestly with you because you are incapable or unwilling to do so with me.
Have a nice day cracker.

Latinos are Whites who raped Native Americans and then imported a few African slaves to work in their sugar cane farms.
Liam Lopez
A gram of mellanin is worth $353 in the black market because is what gives black ppl their super powers.
Zachary Campbell
And we shall keep doing it until niggers understand that God dont like them.

Damn
Justin Myers
and you will continue to do nothing while looking down on blacks, latinx, and every other race coopting them as white whenever they do something you like.
