take care. don't be a stranger.
Does anybody here have the power to create PDFs (or maybe I'm just stupid and haven't thoroughly investigated)? Because I just realized I need to take Amir0x's OP in that one thread and save it for all time as a quick reference in any future institutional racism debates.

bitch I'm taking calls.
If you have word you can just paste it in there and save as a PDF. There are probably other free options online too where you can save a web document as a PDF.

Anyone seen the light girls documentary? I gotta say, it was. . .pretty bad but I sorta expected it would be. First of all what even qualifies a person as "Light Skin"? wtf is Light skin for that matter. All the doc did was actually confuse me. The doc literally starts by claiming that light skin black people come from slave masters raping their black slaves and breeding children but this implies that all sub-Saharan Africans were what we would consider dark skin which isn't the case
Secondly a lot of the personal testimonies from the women on the documentary were pretty embarrassing. A lot of the commentary basically amounted to things like "she was dark skinned and had short hair and i was beautiful and had long hair". Very much eye rolling stuff here. I assumed that the doc is supposed to be educating on colorism in the black community but from the (not so) privilege perspective. Instead it basically reaffirms in a lot of ways how we view light skin women as trophies and unintentionally so.
Which brings me to my last point on this is that if you're going to do a documentary on colorism then maybe dedicate the proper time and research in doing so. Maybe inform the viewer of the various cultural dynamics and nuances at play here. Maybe, idk, maybe acknowledge light skin privilege? Cause basically what they showed me was a bunch of "light skin" women stealth bragging about how good it is.
despite what you read in neogaf threads

But the thing is you would be hungry for another booty an hour later.

Once in high school sex ed. Pretty sure 99% of people would give a similar answer.
It's true that black people of all shades exist in sub-Saharan Africa. But it's also true that a lot of "light skinned" black people, particularly in the US. have mixed blood thanks to the extreme amount of rape that occurred in the South during slave times.
You should tweet that little girl and let her know what to get at Whole Foods for her hair.Angelus

Just get some collard greens and some bacon grease
Avacado and Nutmeg get put in hair every day.
No question about that but the doc presented that in way which implied that people of varying shades in Africa did not exist prior to slavery. Not to mention, being mixed presents its own dynamics separate from simply being "light skin" which wasn't really touched on in the documentary in any capacity.
hmmm, actually never had one before.
Look at you knowing your stuff.
Nutmeg oil actually promotes hair growth.
I see you looking into these home remedies, sis...

Why you posting Bulls era Rodman?There is a perfect storm out there.
how you gonna have apolicy when it comes to eating ass?
What policy? I can't help it. If I'm with an asian guy I have to have that booty.
Wow ok
Racist joke wasn't that funny.
still want Angela Basset in the role to hear her say "By the power of Gaia! THE POWER OF THE WIND!"
Motherfucker I will cut you.
If Angela Basset had played Storm you still wouldn't have gotten that line.
Seriously, how many more shitty movies does Bryan Singer have to make before people realize that the Storm of the movies is shitty because Singer wrote a shitty Storm?
The Storm in the movies is written to be meek and quiet, and she would have been played that way by anyone.
So y'all need to stop hating on one of the most talented and beautiful women on the planet.
Solid Snake wrote it though.
Whatever. The movie is still shit and Storm is still written shitily.
Was more a joke on MSG, but whatevs.
Halle does have a lot of bad movies though.

Saw the first couple minutes from worldstar I think. Couldn't finish it.
Between the darkskinned dominican chick being adamant that she wasnt black and the dude calling dark skinned girls crusty, I just had to stop.
since BAPS I don't know what went down with her

I'm guessing hollywood being a shitty place woman of color plays a huge part into her role selection
Can you point out an A-list actor who's been in the business as long as her who doesn't?

Shit Halle has a better resume than Jennifer Anstion.
He was the last one to rewrite it. I bet Storm was still an actual character when Whedon was writing the earlier drafts.
