'Light Skinned Black Girls'. Do they exist on TSR?

On TSR and on some other forums. When people defend Black women's looks (not that they are under attack) they tend to post mixed race women, or women with more European features rather than saharan features.

Light skin black girl,dark skin black girl,mixed race girl, we all share the same culture and history anyway

Exactly
Most people of Caribbean heritage have different races in them but are ultimately black. I am the same but I am black. I have light skinned aunts and uncles and dark skinned aunts and uncles and some 'middle toned ones'. They have the same parents. It does not mean that the light skinned ones can't be considered black or 'aren't black enough'. TSR is supposed to be full of educated people but the ignorance astounds me.

Black people?

On TSR?

WHERE?

The problem is, people only seem to deem africans as 'truly black' (whatever that's become ). Weird, I know.

Being mixed race shouldn't exclude you from being considered black. I'm not saying that the "one drop" rule is correct, but I don't think people should be excluded from a race just because of their mixed parentage. I am mixed race, my mother is Zambian and my father is Caucasian. I find it very offensive when people say to me "you're not black!" because of my white features and my light skin. I know that myself, and many other mixed race people, struggle with the idea of exclusion from their race. I consider myself both black and white, yet many people would not consider me a member of either.

are you saying that all black girls are unatrractive? it doesn't fit with the rest of your post.

This is nonsense. As I've said, there's no monopoly. This is similiar to a situation where people talk about weave like it's only white girls who have straight hair (may I say, I've never seen a black person with natural straight hair, but that is not the crux of my point)

Does it really matter about the colour of someones skin?

She is mixed race. She has a grandparents of irish descent

Eugh. Come on, lets be honest. There are certain features that hail from certain parts of the world. You can't deny that.

My point is only that these black women are not 'African' looking in the traditional sense. I'm not saying you cannot be black if you have features from other areas, but clearly those features are not African, so the person is of mixed race.

What do you class as european features? Or what are saharan features? I'm intrigued.

I'm sorry but that's an ignorant statement. And you still have yet to say what you deem to be 'typically' African.

Of course, but the problem is that MOST Europeans don't have those features, particularly to the extent to which many of the black girls in the images posted have them, that is my point.

But I mean, why are we all so bothered? A person is a person, surely?
Ah I dunno, I'm just gonna smile and nod
