I'm sorry but I'm having a hard time sympathizing

And was there some influx of light skin male actors that I missed or something?

Besides Will Smith (I guess) who else was really slaying

Darker skinned male actors were doing their numbers

His black bald headed ass was perched in two huge ass franchises

Colorism exists but I'm not seeing in here

and I know an unambiguously black hetero Dominican guy who would make passively anti black "jokes" ... I gently called him out on his mess and made him question why he found those things to be funny

He admitted to me that his grandparents basically told him that he better not bring a black bitch home to them . And made HIM feel bad about his blackness throughout his childhood .

Y'all can't just throw black peoples stated experience in the trash without considering it may be true .

Tyrese is a very dark unambiguously Black man. You think he's LYING?  :uhh: :uhh: or just bringing this mess up for fun?

Don't do that. I'm sorry but it's kinda violent

These black men have stories too

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

There def has always been a premium on darker skinned black male actors in Hollywood

Que makes a good point

But if we're gonna sidetrack the convo into his dating choices and life outside of Hollywood ... let's really have the convo ... not just look at his choices and draw conclusions after he clearly has come forward with info about things he experienced in his childhood.

I know men hetero black men who have gone through what he's touching on and I see the women they chase after . And one even flat out admitted that's why he does it .

Bow is kinda speaking truth - In general . I know this as fact

I have a much younger cousin on my dads side who is hetero and unambiguously black and he told me himself about anti-blackness he experienced and how it affected the way he sees black people in terms of potential love interests

He ends up with white girls  and I'm sure people would question that downe and make assumptions  , but I know the backstory .

People made fun of everything from his larger lips to his skin, to his hair .

We talk a lot about black women and how anti blackness affects them and I am very passionate about it , but I will never forget that unambiguously black hetero men suffer too.

Not saying this is the case for EVERY nigga we see chasing exoticals .... But I get it

i honestly couldn't believe ppl really discuss shit like this in their homes ... to their fucking children. It's really disgusting to me . but I believe him cuz his story isn't new or unique .

A lot of this mess is generational.

And a lot of these  hetero black men are victims suffering in silence .

The mess is so deeply rooted, beyond sad.
