I agree. Why is it that people can say they prefer tall, skinny, short, thick, etc. with no problem. But as soon as someone says they prefer light skin, people jump out of their skin. A preference is a preference.

Skin color is more personal in the fact that black people have been treated terrible because of the color of their skin. Tall and skinny people were not beat up, ****, and hung like people of color. A preference is a preference, but it's all in the way you say things. I prefer to date dark men, because I think that they are gorgeous, but I have only dated one, the rest I have dated are yellow. I like tall guys, but I have dated short ones. I love vanilla ice cream, but I do eat chocalate. But to say you won't date someone because of the color of their skin is ignorant and stupid.

I could really care less...but I do seem to love chocolate and brown skinned females. I'll never be on some "she's cute for a light/dark skinned girl" because it doesn't matter. At the same time....I realize that I have only talked to brown skinned and dark skinned girls for most of my life, because it's only been a few light skinned girls who were attracted to me. When I was 20, this 18 year old turned me down for my 15 year old homeboy because "she didn't care much for dark skinned guys" and my homeboy was hella yella.

Yeah it's all to do with history, and the fact that most of us are brainwashed in liking one complexion over another. It's obvious that it has to do with conditioning, because I have not met many dudes in the south who'd say that they only date light skinned girls...but in California, I've heard a LOT of idiots say that they only like em light skinned, long hair, etc. etc. Colorism has been around forever, and most older people feel that for someone to dislike darker complexions shows how ignorant they are, and that it shows that they don't like where they came from.
