This is stupid. I hate when people make illogical inferences about someone else based on shit they are dealing with themselves.

I also hate when people take the inverse of what someone says and assert that as a fact. Saying you like light girls is NOT saying that you dislike dark girls.

So what, people still use that term in describing lighter skin women so whats the problem

And it is true it's Pro Black to make songs of darker skinned people and it's praised but you better not acknowledge to 'so called 'lighter skinned blacks'

Lenny Kravitz by his 2nd album or it was Circus had a song called Black Girl, and he also released a song called "Light Skinned Girl From London"

If you do research on the song "Yellow Rose of Texas" it's talking about a 'Mulatta'

Sometimes, I think these things just circulate on the internet because it's just something to talk about, rather than that anyone's crying themselves to sleep over it. One blogger/poster passes it along saying, "I'm not personally that bothered about this, but I heard that other people are really angry about it." But probably the previous link in the chain said the same thing. Then the media picks up on it because they see everyone's talking about it on the internet, and that must mean that lots of people are up in arms about it.

By the time you trace it back, it's probably just one straight-outta-college blogger filling up her word count with a (not uninteresting) thought that she happened to be mulling over one day when the radio was on, and decided to put out there to see what people think. But the internet rumour mill makes it all seem more massive and consequential than it is.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

lol They all got that Pat Boone syndrome. They get all too conservative and then decide "hmm maybe I need to do something that'll make me edgy". Makes them look like clowns. lol I can get it if Common or someone like that was on it, but Weezy fell off a long time ago as far as rap skills so putting him on there is real moot. lol
