No longer are they limiting themselves to "dark chocolate" men while those same men put them down for a long haired redbone. I have been noticing that light skinned and non black men really appreciate African beauty whereas most straight dark skinned men have that lil wayne mentality. Don't get me wrong I love seeing two dark skinned people together, but I also love that dark skinned black women are waking up to the double standard and exploring their options.
I've been saying this for the longest time.
nnnnn
been hip!
You've been saying it for like a month
actually I originally said this months ago
In regards to my 2 male cousins on my dads side of the family.
I kinda looked at them like
for always going for white women but after a while it clicked. My dads side of the family is damn near pure west African blood. U can see it in their features. Full lips , beautiful dark skin ... Thick hair... My cousins fully represent west African beauty.
But I noticed they were insecure a lot about their looks... I'm looking at them like
do u not see ur selves?
but it made sense after I thought about it. Black girls ain't checking for them, or at least they've been made to feel that way thru messages directly and/or indirectly sent to them. And it makes me angry.
So yes , I've "been hip". I've seen the effects of this in my own family.
