This Dave East thread
The way we lashed Lew. I knew it wasn't 48 pages about Dave.

But yh did we ever find the point in Ralf bringing up Ludacris saying he was lightskin in response to Amandla putting her lightskin privelege aside to give dark skinned women a chance at the role?
Or the whole Dave East "backlash" that never occurred?

It was never about WHY the person said they were light. I didn't even read home girl's article comments or post. Kii. So I see why some of you are confused.
For me, it was about perspective on skin color. Light, dark, doesn't matter.
And I had just finished watching the breakfast interview with luda.
That's why I thought about Luda's joke. "thanks for letting my light skin self on the breakfast club!" I just didn't know Luda viewed himself that way (which isn't wrong), cause I didn't view him that way. It was my projection onto him. And I would have had the same response if he said "thanks for letting my dark skin self on the show". So it isn't about putting light skin on a pedestal.
It wasn't and isn't that deep tho. Lol.

I never meant to cause any harm. Thought the conversation would have continued about the girl.
