BOTH my parents are black. I look kind of like him, except a bit lighter and I have lighter eyes. My preference has always been black girls. Whenever I try to talk to them, they always say "you're cute but I don't light brights" and some other craziness. One even said that i'm not a "real" black man. Waa? They don't like when black men praise light skinned women and bring down darker skinned girls? So, why do they do it to us?
Why do black women dislike light skin black men?

It's hard to find men like you who actually appreciate a dark-skinned woman or a black girl I suggest maybe you're looking in the wrong places usually some black girls are a bit scared of light skin dudes because they just see someone pretty and who's the player

In the black community, the reality is, there’s a social hierarchy based on skin shade (it’s in every people of color group) and the ranking contains certain generalizations about specific shades. For darker skin people the generalization is “masculine, aggressive, hood, hard, etc. For lighter skinned people the generalization is “ soft, pretty, feminine, etc. The problem is both of these generalizations negatively and positively affect different people. The “aggressive” stereotype positively affects darker skinned men and puts them on a pedestal, while the lighter skinned stereotypes “soft” positively affects lighter skinned women and puts them on a pedestal, but the affects are different for light skin men and dark skin women. Darker skin women get called “ghetto and ratchet” and get degraded and lighter skin men get called “soft and gay” while being more or less degraded as well. That’s just the reality of the social hierarchy in the black community. They may not have wanted to date you because of the “ light skin stereotypes” but I can’t say for sure.
