I get it. Just stick to regular compliments. You don't have to REMIND someone they're dark by saying shit like you're dark, melanated, chocolate, Black Queen, etc. I can get it how it feels backhanded.

I don't think there's anything wrong with calling someone chocolate or whatever but I agree some people definitely PATRONIZE black women .

"omg ur dark skin!!!! wow wow wow ur SKIN.  it's so .. dark and lovely wow wow wow :ohwow: dark skin girls are def prettier than lighter skin girls! Sorry gotta say it !!! "

Very cringe and counterproductive .

Tokyo Vanity said something similar about the acronym BBW. She said you don't have to highlight that she's big in the compliment. Stick to the regular beautifuls and gorgeouses like you do the size 6 girls. I get them.

but some people often attach peoples physique to their overall attractiveness

Like if I see a super slim or super thick guy and it works really well for them  I'm thinking "that nice slim piece of chocolate" or that "thick ass vanilla scoop nigga"

Maybe that person in question has insecurities about their slim-ness or thickness but to me it's beautiful and attractive

But obviously if any of those descriptions are triggering and/or offensive to them I wouldn't say it to them . It just comes down to respect at that point

Meh. Only if you're insecure.

In that case "I love your skin tone" would be backhanded to a person who doesn't want to be reminded that they're dark. Melanated Black Queen is quite literally something I see proud women wear on TShirts. Again being called chocolate is only offensive to an insecure ho

Highlighting dark skin, being proud of being melanated, all come from digging ourselves out of anti-blackness and proclaiming, recognizing, reminding us, that it's attractive. Someone who finds a problem with that has other shit to work on. I don't know I feel like being called "big" is a lil different than that

Nnnnn well then that calls for you to ask "hey do you like being dark skinned?" before you tell someone you got a love jones for their skin tone. Let's not act like some good BLACK skin doesn't hit differently than some other mess. What if it's the actual SKIN that's popping and glowing, strikingly?

i mean I wouldn't stop myself from saying it

But generally I don't go around telling people " your dark skin is so beautiful" or "your caramel skin is so beautiful "

Honestly I'd say "ur skin is beautiful "
And leave it at that. Pretty sure they're aware of what skin tone they are , or at least what skin tone they're widely perceived to be .

But if I actually know someone personally I'd def get more descriptive . If they told me "umm excuse me I don't identify as chocolate or dark My skin is caramel frap with two milks " I'd say ok and call them that or just say nothing at all moving forward

Bdbdbdbdbdbhdbd 🤷🏾 Whatever floats ur boat toots
