Title: New Black Dating App Under Fire For Promoting Colorism & More
Post by: Freemala Harris on July 25, 2016, 02:28:57 PM
A Black Dating App We Don’t Need: Smoochr Lets You Choose Matches Based on Skin Color and Hair Texture

(http://i.imgur.com/kxLsJQs.jpg)

Yay! Let’s all just embrace colorism one date at a time!

So, I took one for the team and signed up for the site just to see what its profile options looked like. First of all, if you’re LGBTQ, you’re not in luck. Apparently, only we heterosexual people can be biased about skin color and hair:

And then there are the skin-color questions:

(http://i.imgur.com/I2BsE44.png)

And, of course, let’s just let people know what type of hair you’re rocking. I’m surprised if there’s nothing that says “good hair.” I mean, why be half-assed about it?

Lips, though?  “Soup coolers”?

Sadly, we all know there will be a group of color-struck Negroes running to use the site. I’m not sure what the creator Larry Kenebrew Jr. (http://i.imgur.com/144yYqU.jpg) (the person’s name on the registration email) was thinking.

But I will conclude that he’s probably a member of the Hotep tribe of delusional Negroes. So Larry*, if you’re out there … hit me up so we can chat about this over a light-brown vanilla latte.

It's not hair texture, it's hair style. Also, I am not sure how it's any different from apps that let you have a racial, physical, religious, locational preferences, etc.
