I'm not here to get into a battle of words, but in terms of proof, there's much literature out other on the subject matter, if you're truly interested. Though, It's a taboo subject people don't often discuss.
The issue I'm referring to goes all the way back to slavery Bliss, when slave master's raped black women and purposely favored their offspring to cause division among dark slaves and lighter colored/hued slaves. There's a deep psychosis there,a painful one, one that creates the likes of Michael Jackson,and cause many to see lighter skinned women ( or white) as more beautiful than dark skinned women. The psychosis crosses over into hair textures and noses, and the likes. This is fact, whether you chose to believe it or acknowledge it. To bring it back to mean and insecurity, this psychosis that exist and that is passed down to each generation subconciously or conciously crosses over into self esteem as well. it's not a huge jump, when you're a part of the underclass in America. it's no secret Black Americans represent a disproportionate percent of the prison population vs. college graduates. When all the images you see on the tele are negative, and when you don't see the majority of your own struggling, some people develop these insecurities within themselves, and about themselves and their culture. Not all, but some, and I would say many, based on my own personal experience with the matter.
I've travelled all over the world, and have worked in about 20 countries over 13 years. In terms of sexual politics,a nd advertising space, white women are on the top of the heap. That's a fact in terms of billboards and advertising dollars. That's who you see on the cover of vogue almost exclusively,and also TV. That's why people in Asian and Africa by skin lightening creams and so on,a nd these insecurities and psychological issues develop. AgaIN, there's literature out there if you're truly interested on the subject matter
As for myself, I don't have that issue, i still date black women, Asian women and etc. My last Gf was an African women from Sierra Leone. I find all women beautiful,Though personally for me, there is something aestcically pleasing about white and black to me, including opposite gender composition.
I'm not here to fight, but I want my say without derisiveness, diatribe, and ad hominem attacks. It isn't called for, even when one disagrees. It prevents intellectual debate,and we all lose. my 2 cents.
Forgive the grammar and spelling. I'm multi tasking here and trying hit a deadline.
