These stories are a reminder that racism doesn’t stop with the constructs being used in the US. Anyone who has visited countries in Latin America / North Africa / Asia will know that racism against darker skin people is just the expectation. Often in these countries Black or dark skin people are often the majority and yet still marginalized.
In fact, the US is probably one of the best place to be a very dark black person outside of some places in Subsaharan Africa and maybe Canada
I disagree with this post. I actually think its quite the opposite. This is why you see so many "light skin" jokes and how it is acceptable to joke about fairer skinned black people and it being taboo when the opposite occurs. This is basically something we will never agree on. As far as Sudan goes, its deeper than this.
That time period is now. Ever since the 90s. You can go into some cities and you will hear "back when lightskin was in" on the radio.
I think the strength of black genes can change complexions to a greater degree in children. I think it’s usually when people are trying to preserve some type of lineage. It’s jacked up.
Sad. I’m not even that into fashion or models, but the handful of models that I have liked recently are Sudanese, like Dukie Thot and Adut Akech. They would be beautiful at any skin tone, but their skin tone is divine.

Anti-Blackness is the same around the world. So is pitting people of color against each other. It’s exhausting.
