Just one of those topics you overhear being discussed when you pass by or over hear. It's not really discussed when they know others are listening. So, IMO it must be a real issue.


I never understood it.

Then again, I was always looked at as an "uncle Tom" who "talked white" growing up, so maybe "cornball brothas" weren't included in the variegated skin-tone boondoggle.

I just can't find it within me to give a frick about anyone's skin tone, MUCH LESS other black people. I mean, fricking really?

Fact: No one hates to see black people do well more than other black people.

It's disgusting the things that get said about Curry's wife on Twitter by other black women.

Is it just me or are these dumb shits promoting racism and hate speech more than most white people today?


It's pretty good evidence IMO that no matter how much things can improve in a nation that people will still find something to create strife and division.

It's political power. Us vs them, divide and conquer. Probably been this way for thousands of years.

So does black america not want to claim him? I would claim him for white america if they don't. We need another race draft to settle these things.

Nah, its pressure to get folks united against common enemies and have others join their fight. I guess being too white is a common enemy. I remember Tiger got the hell knocked out of him in the media because he didn't speak out for "black causes"

It means Redbone. Morgan Freeman's character in Shawshank was called Red. It's another moniker for light skinned black folks.


While the light skinned thing may be true, Red was called Red because his name was Ellis Redding. In the book, he was an Irishman.

She gets taunted for being "too white" and similar things. One I saw said something about her not being able to handle a real black dick.

Completely wrong

In the novel "Red" is a ginger Irish man

They just cast Freeman for the part because... Well... It's Morgan Freeman

Edit: fricking wizard ^^

I have no idea, I've never met her and seen her speak maybe once.

She could be the most annoying woman ever though and still not deserve the shite she gets.

Agree.

I had no idea this existed until a friend of mine's daughter was dating a dark-skinned black guy. My friend is a light-skinned guy (as is his daughter). He said some pretty harsh things and was not happy about the relationship.

Her mother is Jamaican and Chinese; Her father is Polish and African American.

Her comment on the combo: She likes the food! LOL

She's cute, supportive, and the opposite of most of the groupies that sit courtside flashing their snatch and tits to get impregnated for a check.

Haters aaaaaaaaaalways gonna hate.
