Old Why do people laugh at /humiliate dark skinned people?
I'm talking about the ones who are victims of colorism and and do things like bleach/whiten their skin to escape the stigma of their darkness. Society sneers at them in a really humiliating way, just because they want to escape the burden of being hated/bullied for their skin tone. People insult them by calling them a 'self-hating n*gro' and a c**n, when its people like them who put them in the position where they wanted to bleach their skin. Its always the black folks who are the meanest, too.

I mean other minorities have similar issues and the skin whitening industry is really popular in Asia, but people are WAY more sympathetic to other races who have the same type of issues and bleach their skin. But when black people do it they are cruelly mocked and laughed at.

Do dark skinned people really get made fun of in your everyday life??? Because truth be told that ish isn't happening in mine. Sure people cracked jokes growing up but they also talked about medium to light skinned people too. I really believe that this site blows shit out of proportion.

Old Re: Why do people laugh at /humiliate dark skinned people?
It's about people w/very little real bargaining power utilizing any and every mechanism to create the illusion that they have more than that....by sucking the blood of those with less than very little. Baragining power is why people hop on hate rides and roller coasters. Across the board.

Always remember...everybody has to shit & they can and will get their asses killed.

Old Re: Why do people laugh at /humiliate dark skinned people?
White supremacy ONLY. The ideal that the root of beauty is light skinned and it exist's in ALL races. A lighter Mexican, Dominican, Chinese, European, African American ect is always deemed better than a dark one and that's just what it is. Now rather people are gonna still pretend it doesn't exist is the question.
