Firstly, Cool yuhself...not trying to argue here. 1
I know exactly why some black women have weaves, and use certain hair products. thanks for clarifying your opinion though.2
I have seen many sides, not just one, black, indian, name it. My family comes from various backgrounds. I will defend them all cuz they all family to me. A mindset that unfortunately, MANY WILL NEVER HAVE OR UNDERSTAND.3
I knew you would assume I don't know black women, etc. You are the presumptuous one, not me, pointing fingers when you know absolutely nothing what you are talking about.4
Barack, Halle and Beyonce are desirable by many.5
I judge people by what they are worth, not their looks. Again, why are you being so presumptuous? I am simply stating that there is a majority out there that finds light skinned people desirable irrespective of their race. This happens in all races, not just Indian. This was my initial point. 6
You know people by what they talk online? Right....that doesn't even warrant a response. you psychic now? You do palm reading too?7
A great number of people made statements about Indian people. Everyone jumped in, had their jokes and laughs. And what I found out was that, once someone made a statement about blacks, offensive or not, it was war. 8
I was being defensive. Nothing wrong with that. And not because of any corn being mashed up, rather because there were offensive posts.9
1 Right, yuh not trying to argue, yuh trying and succeeding in talking shit. I suppose your comment about me being "online every two minutes was part of the thread discussion, right?
2 You "know exactly why some black women have weaves"? And they tell yuh they did it because they want to "look like they have straight hair"? Of course yuh didn't say nutten about "some" in yuh initial post, yuh spoke conclusively as though this is why all, most or a majority do it... now yuh backtracking.
3 Wait... lol, so you think yuh special or something that you have a diverse ethnic heritage? You feel you's de only one here who will "HAVE OR UNDERSTAND" having diversity in they family? Not everybody will feel it necessary like you to come and fly flag about having "various backgrounds" in dey family... that is half of Trinidad right there, so ease up on de chest beating before yuh hurt yuhself.
4 Where did I assume you didn't know black women? Yuh's ah kinda dunce or what? (that was rhetorical, no need to answer). I
asked you if you knew any black women, and suggested that you go ask them before making asshole statements about why they do what they do. How is that an assumption?
5 As desirable as they might be that have nutten to do with the discussion, there are many who similarly don't find them desirable. Speaking for myself, neither Halle Berry nor Beyonce appeal to me and from my conversations on both of them over the years I know I'm not the only black man who feels that way. Besides, their desirability is not the issue, the issue is that YOU trying to make it seem that they are ONLY desirable because they are light skinned, which is foolish. More on that in a second.
6 Again, how am I being presumptuous... I asked a question... which poll did you conduct to arrive at your conclusion that "a majority" who find light-skinned people attractive... and doh shift focus by bawling "irrespective of race" we are talking specifically here about your sweeping generalizations about black people supposedly favoring Halle et al because they are light-skinned.
7 First off you should note that I used "know" in quotes... one cannot absolutely know everything about a person by interacting with them online, but you absolutely can get enough of an insight about a person by what they say and how they say it. You attempts to mischaracterize my statements fall as flat as the rest of the off-base shit yuh posting in this thread.
8 Who had "laughs"? I actually went back and checked every post in this thread, and there are two where people were laughing, one was reggae-fan (which speaks for itself) and the other was by lefty, laughing at my "mash corn" comment. Who was laughing at the expense of Indians? You either being facetious or a damn ass to try and portray the situation as though ignorant comments about Indians were a) flying left and right; and b) being given a pass without scrutiny. Back on the first page of this thread I for one responded in opposition to a comment about them being "house n*ggers"... and I wasn't the only one defending the choice of some Indians to adopt anglo names.
9 Where are all these "offensive" comments you bitching about?
