Why don't white guys llike my darkskin and features?

[missamanda123]

whoever said that white men prefer dark women is lying. its the biggest myth out there. in college i know the white male professors did not like me contacting them for help and seemed to be much more receptive to white girls or fairskinned black girls. i recall one who got annoyed anytime i raised my hand or even tried to reach out to him for help.

the same thing happens at work. its ok for the fairskin and white girls to reach out for help by managers and to network with them but i can't because i'm not lightskin or pretty enough. i'm treated like im disgusting, dirty and tainted. i'm too depressed to even be productive and i get angry when i watch the discrimination go on

i hate my life

i dont want children w/ a black guy because they'll be treated with the same disgust and contempt

[Anonymous]

This is only for black girls, stop having low self-esteem, the media only shows black guys with women of other races, but has many white guys with black girls on real life.

Photos of white guys and black girls here.
https:// weheartit. com/tag/bwwm? page=1

White guys and black girls have fewer divorces compared to any race:
https://s3 . amazonaws. com/gag. post. images/a9345/6709e40f-f14f-4545-a9b9-91107694751a. jpg

You can see that the media and propaganda is not a representation of reality, it's just politics, they can't show white guys being dominant men and with women of other races (Black girls, any women) because it hurts the ego of men of other races, it's like an anti-racism based on boycott for white guys dating non-white girls but white girls are always portrayed out to support the guys of other races wanting them because of this kind of politics promoved.

You watch TV? (Couples between white guys and white girls don't count because it's the default and the majority of population and are men and women of the same race)

Black guys takes first place. Second place probably goes to the white woman because they have immunity to really have privileges with nothing against then, gazing at the heroic black guy, her eyes shining with admiration in the scene, then we have other race combinations can fill out the middle ranks. White guys, comes in last sometimes with black girls, probably tripping, and certainly making a fool of himself after arrogantly bragging to the others about how fast he was. They need to make this to be a turn off and don't hurt the ego of the guys of other races in a weird anti-racist politics that means just boycott couples between white guys and non-white girls.

You're probably thinking these things based on what you watch on TV.

[missamanda123]

None of this does me any justice when everyday when I go out into the REAL WORLD I am being treated less than human because of my racial background and darkskin tone.

I dont care about what's on TV. I don't care about photos of black girls and white guys as couples.

When I report to work, I have white men who treat me as a disgusting rodent because I don't look like a Beyonce.

I've had professors who pushed me away because they didn't want to help a darkskin African American student however they had no issues flirting and helping out the lightskin and biracial students

[Afrochick]

People only say that because when white men are shown dating a black women it's usually of a darker complexion. Scan youtube and Tumblr blogs if you don't believe me. Hell even the creator of South Park Matt Stone is married to a dark skin African American woman, David Bowie too.
What I sense from you is deep self hatred, you need to seek some therapy/counselling.

"in college i know the white male professors did not like me contacting them for help and seemed to be much more receptive to white girls or fair skinned black girls"

- Are you sure it's not all in your head? Or maybe it's your actions/tone of voice. People who suffer from depression often jump to negative conclusions

"i dont want children w/ a black guy because they'll be treated with the same disgust and contempt "

That is very disappointing to here. That is no way to go through the world.

I recommend reading a MyTake previously written by the User Janson

[missamanda123]

I am absolutely positive that my darkskin and feature are the reason why I get treated with contempt at work and school. All of the fairskin women are free to reach out for help even if they are overweight however since I'm darkskin with black features they are disgusted by me. They are even more disgusted because Im nice and they don't like that because they dont want me attracted to them

[CheeseLoveWhiz]

If someone is in fact treating you badly because of your skin color something is wrong with THEM, not you. In the media, since the days of slavery, there have been negative stereotypes about dark skin black women that are influenced by racism. Yes, racism still can exist today.
However keep in mind, people may just simply not find you attractive. They may not like your personality or attitude.
My advice is to just not waste your time on people who don't treat you right. White or black, male or female.

[missamanda123]

So, all of the lighterskinned women just so happen to have better attitudes and personality huh?

I'm very nice and softspoken. I don't see what's so bad about my personality besides they are disgusted by the fact that Im a black woman

[missamanda123]

They are disgusted by the fact that I'm a darkskin black woman and they don't want to accept me. No matter how nice, sweet and softspoken I am they always find fault in something I say. If I were a lightskinned black girl they would not have an issue with me

[CheeseLoveWhiz]

I'm not saying that you are a bad person, you might be the sweetest person in the world. I don't know you. I'm just not ruling out all possibilities in your situation. Like I said before, if you are in fact surrounded by racists in your personal life then I am sorry. They are just awful people it is not your fault.

[SilenRose]

Could you please share a picture? I have no idea what you've been through in your life but whatever has happened has shot your self esteem way down. A visual would help solve this because I bet you aren't as bad as you say you are.

Also here is an image of a black girl with her white boyfriend:
tipsofdivorce.com/.../embrace.jpg

And here's another woman with dark skin who is just as beautiful:
41.media.tumblr.com/.../...rkxZm11qbrc7uo1_500.png

[missamanda123]

so what?

I'm not going to let you fool me into thinking this is going to make me feel better

Those photos don't change the treatment I get at work or school.

Those photos don't grant me any type of acceptance.

It doesn't change what has happened in the past and what is currently happening

[SilenRose]

Fool you? I was just proving that not everyone is racist, and that dark skinned black women are just as beautiful as fair skinned women (or any other skin tone). You are filled with anger and nothing anyone says on here will change that. You should speak to a psychologist or psychiatrist. Most schools offer this service for free.

[missamanda123]

Posting a bunch of pictures does not change my reality. it doesn't change the fact that I've been treated with hostility, and disgust because I'm not biracial looking enough for most white guys. It doesn't change the fact that I've been denied the privilege of seeking help from supervisors because of my darkskin. These photos mean nothing and are not enough

[SilenRose]

Well, enjoy your day. Hopefully someone can eventually help you.

[Battooot]

Can i please see a picture of you? you can send me in pm.

As for what you are saying, i happen to find myself very attracted to dark skinned girls. In fact, the darker her skin the more i find them attractive and sometimes i even found myself sexually aroused just by looking at a dark skinned girl.

Many times just by looking at someones face people will assume things about that person based on how their face reactions are. for example, if someone looks always angry and pulls a mean look on their face then people will already assume this person is a 'bitch' and will tend to not get close to them even though they never got to KNOW them or talk to them. while if someone looks happy and calm with then people will feel more comfortable towards them. Don't forget that our FACE reflects what we think or feel, so if we are feeling ANGRY then our face will look angry! if we are feeling really happy then our face will look Happy because it will be more relaxed.

Whether you are dark-skinned, white skinned, yellow-skinned, or freakin purple-skinned, if you have a bad attitude then people will look to you in a bad way.

But i really want to see a picture of you, is that possible please?

[missamanda123]

I'm not going to let you see a picture of me because I don't want to receive any type of criticism. Secondly, it's not going to change the type of treatment I've received due to my skin tone and race

Thirdly, the "you look mean" argument is flawed and often used as a scapegoat to justify one's hatred for darkskin black women. It would be greatly inappropriate and politically incorrect to say they hate or dislike you because you're black or darkskin, so they nitpick and use excuses such as "you look angry" or you have an 'attitude' problem, or you're too quiet or how you dress. They're all just safe codes to exclude you from receiving any type of fair treatment

[Battooot]

Ok, you don't realize this but your comment got me seriously bothered. I am trying to help you and i spent like 15 min writing words coming out deep from my heart then you tell me im using this as a scapegoat?
I'm starting to think you are a troll. No one could blind themselves this badly.

Stop this okay? You've trolled enough people already and it's just getting us annoyed/pissed off. Especially me because this is bullshyt. Unless you are living in the UK where there are way more racists or in a REDNECK country you can't be thinking like this.

PS: i wasen't going to criticize your picture, i just had a feeling that i would you find you appealing. Many girls think they are ugly when they actually aren't, i know from experience because i met many girls who think they are ugly when i actually find them fking angels. If anything, i would have complimented you.

[Red_Arrow]

You have your mind made up, so you are not going to like my answer. but you asked, so here it is.

I have had many, many associations in my life. I have been friends with many, many people, and been attracted to many of them. My attractions are based on personal interests and preferences, so if I did not find myself interested in you, that would be my own business. But I do not treat people in other situations in ways that are disrespectful, nor do I form opinions based on skin color. And as for teachers, I have taught many classes, and skin color or attractiveness NEVER affected how I treated the student, and I answered all questions with interest and respect. But my attitude did change based on how the person presented themselves, both in appearance (mainly clothing) and attitude towards me.

I found that to be the case with all teachers I knew. so I have to presume that your instructors had a problem with you in ways other than your skin color or your attractiveness. I think you need to look closely at them and see if adjusting how you present yourself doesn't make a change in how you are perceived.

[missamanda123]

Again, it just so happens that most of the white and lighterskin students had a more presentable appearance at attitude than me? Sounds like more BS used to justify discriminating against me because im dark

[Red_Arrow]

As I said at the first, you have your mind made up and don't like my answer. People who create their own problems usually cannot see that and blame others. So you can either go on with your persecuted "woe is me" attitude, or you can fix yourself and find that others then accept you and make your life happier.

[missamanda123]

Because the answer you gave is bullshyt.

I guess just by coincidence, all of the lightskin, biracial and non black students just so happen to dress better and have a great attitude. I mean, how could that be?

People who dislike darkskin black women always use the "its your attitude and you dress" excuse to further persecute us. Yet they have no problem socializing and helping out a sloppy white person

[Red_Arrow]

I have many dark skinned friends. I dated a very dark skinned girl and though of her as quite beautiful. So I obviously socialize and help non-whites and do not dislike darkskin black women. So the Bullshit is your comment. My opinion stands!

[missamanda123]

This is the age old "im not racist because my friends are black" BS

[BelleGirl21]

Asker he's saying whichever students that presented themselves well were generally treated better regardless of skin color. I don't see where/how you have the right to call him racist based on that opinion. You sound untra sensitive about it. Like anyone that disagrees with you is racist :/

[Prof_Don]

Ah man. You remind me very much about a friend of mine I knew in college.

She was also a dark skinned black woman. She lived in a rough area, in a single mother household, with pretty much an absent father.

Our school (UC Santa Barbara ) and the undergrad student body was less than 2% black. In our dorm of 550 students, there were 12 black students (including me).

She was fun to hang out with, but she was in a combative and defensive mode ALL the time. Constantly angry. Always pessimistic. It's almost like she was LOOKING for something to complain about at all times. At times downright bitchy.

Funny thing is because she comes off mad all the time, she ends up reaping what she sows (pessimism, confrontation) on a regular basis.

Class peers, TAs, professors, dorm mates... always had a tendency to not fully embrace her. Its like they were walking on eggshells and keeping her "at a distance", because she came out like a typical angry volatile black woman charicature (and frankly she was).

Pretty much her pessimism was turning everyone off.

There were plenty of other black students (of both genders, myself included) had no problem with instructor /student and peer / student relationships.

Even when it comes to dating... every guy she dated treated per poorly. Probably because like attracts like. She knocked up by a guy she just met from out of state, that intentionally took off the condom and nutted in her. To this day he completely abandoned her and the baby, and he has zero contact with his son.

She now has a 2nd child from a different absent father as well.

Her pessimism attracts other pessimistic people... self fulfilling prophecy.

----

Are you ONE HUNDRED PERCENT certain that you don't have deep internal internal pessimism / anger , that is simply being reflected back at you by the actions of others?

[missamanda123]

Why are you asking me if I have any internal pessimism? Is it because I don't have a religious background and not citing a million scriptures from the Bible?

I had a feeling that people may perceive me as being unholy, and promiscuous because I never talk about going to church. And being that I'm a black woman that makes it doubly hard for others to accept me. Religion is a private matter and no one else's business.

And to answer your question, yes, I do have internal anger after being treated poorly due to other people's misconception about me. Do I relay this pessimism to others in real life? No, I still try to be positive. I'm polite, friendly, smile all the time, never ever bad mouth anyone. But since i'm not a religious nut or jesus freak I'm considered evil no matter how friendly, social and sweet I am towards other people.

It's strange how everyone will justify the unfair treatment I get because they suspect (with no proof) I'm this EVIL whore with internal anger

[Prof_Don]

Um... I wasn't referring to religion at all.

I never considered a religious spin on your social difficulties. Do u live in an extremely religious area?

I live in California and there isn't much of a religious spin on everyday socializing here.

[Prof_Don]

I wasn't aiming to religiously shame you, Amanda. :)

[missamanda123]

Black people are expected to be religious and if not, often are considered to be criminals. I'm not very religious and this plays a huge part in how Im perceived

[Prof_Don]

I don't think in absolutes like that... especially in absolutes that self-degrade one's psyche.

Life isn't black and white (no pun intended)... life is full of many darker and lighter shades of gray.

-----

One trend I've noticed in black American culture, is the consistent aknowledgement of race and racial differences. Maybe u come off vibe-wise as too militant and not multicultural enough.

Or it can simply be these people can sniff out that your "niceness" is an act and that you're truly spiteful and combative on the inside.

There's enough negativity in this world as it is. Why would someone bother with someone who doesn't have positive vibes?

[missamanda123]

If they feel that my niceness is an act and that I'm truly combative and spiteful then they are being racist and judgmental. Especially if they have no proof that its an act

[SakuraChii]

It's the area that your in, trust me there are dark skinned girls in other places that don't get the same treatment as you because not everyone discriminates based on their preference when it comes to platonicness. You shouldn't let someone get in the way of your education, education is more important than guys. Also not all white guys are like that, lupita ny'ongo has a white boyfriend for example and she's dark skinned

[missamanda123]

It's not the area I'm in. It happens ALL OVER. I experienced this same discrimination online from men in different parts of the world. The men were more receptive to lightskinned black and non black women. The white men were very antagonistic towards me and acted as if I was beneath them to even have a simple conversation

In college, we would have group projects where we had to exchange phone numbers so we could get together for study groups. White men had no problems exchanging numbers with fairskin black girls however with me its was off limits. Once I did exchange numbers with a white guy because I needed to meet with him for an assignment and he dodged my phone calls and made himself unavailable

[SakuraChii]

Also what despodency is saying is wrong, I can't reply because he had happend to block me but here's my reply anyway:

I've never heard of that, it would make sense for all organisms to breed outside for survival purposes and evolution (hybrid vigor) that's what all animals do. I did read that the preference for the same race is because of you trusting them more though.

[missamanda123]

What you're saying is making no sense.

They don't treat Asian and hispanic girls like that and they are not the same race. Nor do they treat lightskiinned black women like that. So your reasoning is BS

Explain why black men are more trusting of white women?

This is a bunch of bull you're feeding me

[SakuraChii]

I never asked if you agreed with a scientific fact or not, you obviously have a self-esteem problem and need a therapist. No one can help you on here with that attitude.

[Mariahhh_xo]

Not all white guys or men are the same. If that were true there wouldn't be interacial couples like we see today. Maybe the people who live where you live are plain dumb if they still believe in racism, discrimination, or feeling superior than others.

[missamanda123]

But the fact of the matter, is its happenning. I don't care about the few white men who like black women when the vast majority feel that Im so beneath them that they don't even want to provide me with any type of help on the job or at work

[Mariahhh_xo]

I understand and know that you are having trouble getting help from all those bppl. But all I could say is to do what you gotta do and try your best to ignore them and prove them wrong, show them that you can do anything or even more than them and that skin color does not define who you are.

[missamanda123]

I shouldn't have had to go through this in the first place. Proving them wrong doesn't change the fact that they think my darkskin and features are ugly

[Mariahhh_xo]

Well I don't know what else to say I know it's wrong that for people to treat you like that but the more you give and pay attention to that you will be miserable

[Bellibooo]

I am so sorry you have to go through this and I can't even imagine how that kind of discrimination feels like. I can't answer your question, because I truly don't know, I just wanted to say I am sorry you get treated badly because of the way you look. It is terribly unfair and unjust.

[Stacyzee]

I'm dark and I get a lot of white male attention.
it has to do with features and the way you carry yourself

[missamanda123]

I'm tired people claiming because it doesn't happen to them, then it invalidates MY experience.

Even if I was ugly, how is it professional to not want to help out your employee because she's not a beautiful black woman? How can you justify something like that?

[Stacyzee]

I never said that did I?
If that's your interpretation TOO bad.
I'm just stating it has never happened to me so I can't relate.

[Stacyzee]

Also, I don't understand why you assume you are getting mistreatment because you are black. What area do you live in? Is it predominantly white? If so, that explains it

[Stacyzee]

I live in NY. I admit racism is everywhere but in some areas it's more open.
No one is trying to undermine your experiences so please do not think that.

[missamanda123]

I know i am getting mistreatment because I am black because I observe how easier it is for lightskin and white women have it in the eduational and workforce

You know the first day I started work, out of NO WHERE some white girl tried to instigate an argument with me simply because of my darkskin tone? I never said anything bad to ANYBODY, and when the manager called my name she referred to me as a 'nobody'. And then she didn't stop there, when I asked a question, she interjected and rudely corrected me. She kept baiting me to argue with her. If I were lightskin she would have NEVER done such a thing. But since I am black, with fully black features, she felt it was okay to demonize me

[Anonymous]

You need to project more positivity even though its hard right now and just go into work imagining that everyone will like you and does like you, and before long you will give off those vibes, you're mindset can be toxic and can turn into a self fulfilling prophecy as you will start to carry yourself that way and look for people who treat you poorly.

[missamanda123]

Why do you presume I don't project positivity?

I go to work and smile. I'm very friendly and polite, however people will use the excuse that I'm too 'soft spoken' or that I'm not 'assertive' enough or 'too quiet'. Another one is that my voice is not 'loud' and I need to stop being so quiet. It's just a million politically correct excuses they use to mask their hatred for my darkskin. They can't come out and say they hate darkskin black women, so they'll use the fact that I'm docile and submissive as a reason to dislike me. Their favorite excuse is that I'm too quiet, when there are tons of lighter skinned and white women who are just as quiet.

[Opinion Owner]

I don't want to judge your whole life off your question but you came across pretty negatetively in how you wrote it. If you can't I suggest just trying for a day or two to just forgot you think everyone hates you, I know it might not be easy but it'll feel a lot better trust me.

[Yous_15]

Not everyone will like you and the sooner you accept that, the happier you'll be.

[missamanda123]

No, I am not going to accept being constantly denied help at jobs by white male managers beecause Im too dark and ugly for them to help. that is not something im going to accept

[Yous_15]

No professional background is not the issue here and u know that. I have a couple of African American female friends and they are holding amazing work positions and I've never heard them complain about something like this. You and all of the rest of the girls here are complaining about the same thing "Dark toned girls v. Light toned girls" this entire topic is ridiculous. Just as one person there is probably 10 more that will. The world goes on lady.

[missamanda123]

They most likely go through the same thing but choose to ignore it.

[missamanda123]

The African American women are what shade? And if they do hold amazing work positions they are still not as valued as lightskinned or white women and men are still disgusted by them. I dont see what is the point in me achieving anything if I am still not going to get the same respect as lighter toned women, I'm stil not going to be seen as beautiful

[Yous_15]

Love yourself!!! and if it makes any difference... IIIIII LLLLLLOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEEEEE YYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU! :D

[missamanda123]

loving myself is not going to make white men find me beautiful. it's not going to make them provide me with the same treatment they give to lightskin black and white girls

[Yous_15]

Have you ever thought that maybe just maybe you don't fit in because of your shitty attitude? lol

[missamanda123]

What crappy attitude? You are not even there when I'm socializing at work, so what crappy attitude can you attest to? You are just presuming I have a poor attitude because Im a darkskin black woman

[StickStickity13]

Well white guys tend to prefer white girls, it's evolutionary. That being said there are white guys out there who find dark skinned women attractive. There is no such thing as one person being universally attractive to everyone.

[missamanda123]

But Im not even light and pretty enough to get fair treatment at work or school. they are too disgusted by my darkskin and appearance to want to help me

[StickStickity13]

Yes that's unfair and I'm sorry that is happening.

[SweetNovella]

Bleach your skin and get plastic surgery if you aren't happy. That is literally the ONLY thing you can do.

There you go problem solved!!!

[Ryosanada]

I'm sorry to hear that. Nobody should be treated badly because of skin color. I hope things get better for you.

[xPoison]

Why are you so focus on a person's skin color so much?

[missamanda123]

Because I keep getting treated like shyt because of it

[xPoison]

What make you so sure is skin color and not something else?

[missamanda123]

Because they are more receptive to lightskin and white girls. I've observed this

[xPoison]

You observed this because your mind is highly focus on skin color. Could it be just mere coincidence or you over analyzing? I'm not saying racism does not exist, but you're not just a color. There's more to you than the color of your skin, for instance, your personality, intelligence, and etc

[missamanda123]

Yes, it IS my skin color. I am not making this up. Perhaps, I am so focused on it because I am often JUDGED because of MY SKIN COLOR.

[xPoison]

You possibly feel like you're being "judge" on your skin color because YOU have made the assumption is because of that. That's what I see when I read this. It could be either this or what you possibly wrote above but I'll be taking your words for it.

I'm just going to tell you the mind is powerful. The more you let these people judgement get a to you, you're only lowering yourself to the color of your skin tone. There's nothing wrong being black, stop giving them power, and live your life normally.

[missamanda123]

I know I'm being judged because of my skin tone. I feel like you are letting them off the hook by blaming it on my mindset. I am angry by how I am being treated

[cavmanier]

I agree

[xPoison]

Actually a read a MyTake very similar to this. I'll be posting Immortal Technique again. His song dedicated to misguided black beauty. You need to love yourself

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gpgplgYCLq8

[missamanda123]

It's not about loving myself and more about the lack of respect I get.

I can love myself till the cows come home it's still not going to change the fact that most white men avoid me because I'm too black and dark looking

[xPoison]

@asker I'm not saying racism don't exist but is quite obvious you're too focus on skin color. Even if these people were racist, why are you giving them any importance? Do you deserve to be around people who think of you so lowly? No, right? They are doing you a favor because you don't have to stick to bring racist dick likes that.

Live your life normally once again, don't change, because there many out there who will appreciate a black woman

[xPoison]

Being with racist*

[missamanda123]

I'm focused on skin color because that is how often I am judged. Im never judged by my character at all. When people meet me, the first thing they do is apply stereotypes by saying "you LOOK like you used to fight in high school." or you look like (insert whatever stereotype they have about black women)

Why am I giving them power? maybe because I have to work with these people and their ideas and opinions affect my livelihood. The way they treat me affects my self esteem and ability to have any form of acceptance.

[xPoison]

Giiirl my gosh! Everyone gets judge! And everywhere you go, people will make smart remarks. Some for being ugly, fat, some for hygiene, some for being poor ass shit, some for their skin tone, some for being wheelchair bounded, severe acne, You're acting like its only you. There's good and bad everywhere and unfortunately everyone has to work with people who they dislike, its life move on.

[missamanda123]

Yeah, but it seems like no one likes me for reasons that are beyond my control. I see lighter skin women with the same atittude however they are not demonized for it. But since i am fully black and not biracial they can't stand my demure personality and act disgusted with me

[xPoison]

People forever bounded in a wheelchair, autistic people, people born deformed, people with severe burn scars, people with alzheimer and etc.

And your here, I'm sure a perfectly healthful human being, talking about something as simple and dumb as skin color? SMDH.

[xPoison]

Healthy*

[missamanda123]

why do my issues take a backseat to everything else?

I find the fact that Im discriminated against due to my darkskin and features to be humilating, depressing, hopeless, etc The fact that I'm constantly picked on, judged by it, and looked down upon makes me feel helpless. I dont even have enough self esteem to leave the house everyday

[BelleGirl21]

Based on your responses to other users I'm sensing a giant troll. Nothing better to do than try to offend people huh? 😒 *sigh*

[lv4lv]

It's possible it's not your body color but another feature such as your voice, tone, attitude or personality.

[missamanda123]

so all the lightskin and white girls just happen to have better voice, tone, attitude and personality? i mean its that much of a coincidence? give me a break

[lv4lv]

Not all of those traits, but possible at least one of them. However, I did notice you live in the states, so it depends on where you live. Some states seem to somehow have gotten left behind by about 50 years or so. But your personality is shining through, if you act this way around the professors, it's likely it does have something to do with that.

[missamanda123]

Act like what around professors? Approach them about a concept I don't understand and have them looked annoyed and tell me to go away? I mean what are you talking about? right now Im upset because of how Im being treated that doesn't mean I act like this in a professional settings

[lv4lv]

You apparently answered your own question.

[missamanda123]

I didn't answer my own question

It's not right to treat someone less than because you don't think their personality matches their race either

[lv4lv]

I never said anything about personality matching race, I said personality. You seem to be stuck in a victim's mindset right now. Wildly jumping to conclusions and making anything you can be about something it's likely not.

[missamanda123]

It's not right to discriminate against someone because of their personality either

But most people think I should act like a loudmouth man because Im darkskin. they are repulsed that a darkskin black woman like me is softspoken and laid back. they dont think that i am beautiful enough to act like this

[lv4lv]

I doubt that's what they think.

[missamanda123]

That is exactly what they think. People always try to encourage me to be loud because Im a darkskin black woman

[goretcki]

I've seen black girls I found attractive and black girls I've found unattractive, same with any other race and shade.

[missamanda123]

So? Your idea of an attractive black girl could be lightskin and all the ugly ones could be darkskin

I read this politically correct BS online but its not translating to real life. I'm seeing a clear dispreference for women who look like me. I can't even network professionally because they dont like my skin tone, features or hair texture.

[Despondency]

Most people are attracted to those with like features. Biological reality.

[missamanda123]

How does that explain black men liking features the complete opposite of them?

Also, how do you justify not wanting to help out a colleague because you don't find their features attractive?

Take it up with the most recent census.

What does this have to do with instructors and managers not wanting to associate nor help me because im darkskin and black?

[Despondency]

Dating and mating trends are the strongest indicators of behavior; if people still don't date or mate interracially by-and-large this indicates the general mentality and outlook for treatment of those with features who are very different from their own.

[missamanda123]

How does that explain black men's preferential treatment towards women of a different race?

Just because you don't date or mate with darkskin black women, does not warrant you treating them with disgust and prohibiting them from advancing because they don't look like you

[Despondency]

"How does that explain black men's preferential treatment towards women of a different race?"

That is a separate issue entirely.

"Just because you don't date or mate with darkskin black women, does not warrant you treating them with disgust and prohibiting them from advancing because they don't look like you."

The actual understanding of racism and sexism and really any other form of discrimination is that people are more likely to support people of their own traits or people who hold greater Majority from a political viewpoint.

[missamanda123]

Again, how can you justify not wanting to help a colleague, who you have been HIRED to train because their features are different from yours? or refuse to provide assistance to a student regarding their own education because of their physical features?

[Despondency]

It's rather clear that one does not justify racism nor does one need to. You were likely hired because you had to be (for diversity purposes) rather than you were wanted. Your case is common.

[missamanda123]

As usual, I'm always being used to fill up space. nobody really wants or value me.

[Despondency]

That may be true.

It's probably not your skin but your bitchy, "everyone's out to get me" attitude

I doubt it's your skin color. Maybe you're just not good looking.

[missamanda123]

even if true how is that okay?

but I notice that no matter what the white or fairkin black girl look like they are not prevented from getting help from professors, or managers in work or school

[MrTexan37]

Show us a picture of you i bet your not as bad looking as you think

[missamanda123]

Does it change how I'm being treated?

[Marisolcaradona]

you are kinda supporting what you are against you. By not wanting black babies

[thesunstillshines]

Stop feeling bad for yourselfb

[thesunstillshines]

I'm sure you're beautiful and you're just being paranoid

[missamanda123]

I wouldn't feel this way if I wasn't treated like shyt because Im not light and pretty ennough

[missamanda123]

Im not. White men are disgusted by my existence. They dont even want to be seen out in public with me and are grossed out by the fact that im interested in them

[thesunstillshines]

Can I see a pic of you? Even if it's in message? I will be honest!!
And fuck those men who treat you that way!! I had bad treatment from white men mostly in high school cuz I use to be fat. Now I'm not and because I'm skinny. It's shallow. If they can't see your beauty fuck them idiots. You do you. Be with people who see your beauty. There are PLENTY of ugly white chicks. And when white chicks are ugly they're the ugliest. #justsaying
talk to me in messages if you want

[missamanda123]

That's not going to change the crappy treatment i receive from men

[thesunstillshines]

Can you please post a pic. I have a feeling you're not as ugly as you say you are
Just saying

[missamanda123]

Does it matter? I'm still getting treated unfairly
